US cold weather MREs with the egg omlette or scrambled egg I think. And honestly you guys should try the chilli mac MRE I might know a supply Sgt that could possibly get some of those for you.
Obligatory factcheck from an actual Russian: you guys brought *an emergency ration* not an actual Russian military MRE, which is far different and I implore you to try it! It's really fun!
Got any other tips? Or any idea how the "just add water" heating mechanism works? If you want to trade, tuna and barbecue sauce basically tastes like pulled pork but slightly bad, and tortillas with peanut butter are a fucking godsend. And on top of that, if you take out all of the "chocolate" M&Ms in trail mix, put them in a bag, and put it out in the hot summer sun after crushing the M&Ms, you got yourself a really scuffed chocolate bar. Assuming you had trail mix with M&Ms, of course

Part of the way through the video, as I watched Jason struggle to open the packages, I wondered why they didn't give either of them a knife or scissors. Then I remembered who I was watching.
That was not at all a surprise - he's eaten things that are downright dangerous (from my point of view anyway) and then kept eating so yeah. Although seriously. How does Brian continually eat things that should not (or never) be eaten?
@@ProtoV33MK1, a bit of sideways looks from the officers, but she was always an odd duck and the better for it. It was a more relaxed training exercise with no formal uniform inspections. But if we were doing proper training, would have brought heck opon us.
We will be many saying it, but French MRE's deserve a whole episode ! They are awesome, and when trading on the field 1 French MRE was worth 3 American one
Well the DPRK haves a single bowl of rice, Three slices of pickled radish and "whatever you can steal" according to defectors from the north Korean military
A NK soldier that escaped from NK into SK who was shit shikst escaping and was brought to a mediical facility had parasites in his body from the food he had in NK.
Those Russian bricks are good stuff. No, not good as in delicious or pleasant to eat. They're absolutely HORRIBLE to eat and you'll hate them. But for actual emergencies and survival situations they're perfectly engineered. They and similar products from other countries are the densest and lightest self-stable form of calories and nutrients you can have. If you could only bring a limited amount of weight or volume with you somewhere for emergency supplies, those are the best for both. It's really unhealthy to eat them for weeks or months, but they'll keep you ALIVE longer than anything else their weight or size. You can survive without starving with about 220 grams per day if you have a source of water. You'll be hungry as hell but alive.
I'd like to see you guys do civil war food. Like, have a cooking episode where you have to make an edible meal out of saltpork and hardtack that could stop a bullet using only a frying pan and an open flame, and then have people judge who made the better meal.
I'm so disappointed you didn't get actual Russian MRE, they are great, they usually consists of 3 meals, some snacks and sweets and have like a mini stove with powdered alcohol as fuel, that would be fun to watch. UPD. Not powdered alcohol, fuel tablets, my English sucks
@@tuesdaywithanh maybe my English is wrong. Yep I just checked and you guys simply call it fuel tablets. For some wierd unknown reason we call them dry alcohol tablets in former Soviet block countries. Just checked Wikipedia and they don't even have any alcohol in them. My whole life was a lie.
To be fair, it's not really an MRE, not a modern one at least. Lots of cans, requires that mini stove which often burns the bottom of your canned food, not that convenient to use overall. Mains are a treat though, really delicious buckwheat porrige and lots of meat in anything usually.
Agreed with the other person , they tried an emergency ration which is meant to keep you alive , not keep you in fighting condition , just enough so you can stop the process of dying from starvation - as written on the packet , pretty sure the USA has them as well and many other countries do ,too. Russian MREs are pretty good to be completely fair , their canned meat recipes are real meat and of quality IMHO. This video is a mixed bag of feelings for me , too much playing around with the food and too little eating. I get it that it's TH-cam but it would have been just as entertaining if not more to do a fair test and some quirky talking could have been included regardless..

@@ViviSectia Most of today marketing and "genius ideas" regarding products is just re-branding. Just go on a Chinese website , have a look at some of their products and throw enough money at them to make people buy them...

The M1 Macs seem to be the most innovation we are going to get for now from what it seems... Even vapes don't seem to have changed much for the average consumer , can't get a decent one that won't have problems with the coil flooding , coil being burnt out and so on.

That Russian ration bar at the end is a marine emergency ration. You can also get them in English, made in the USA. Search for "Datrex white ration DX2400F." The translation is more than a little mangled, but the gist is that it's an ultra-compact, ultra-stable brick of calories. They provide essentially no nutritional value, only calories. Hence the warning (?) of "accept food at strong feeling of famine." The intent is that you're supposed to save those for when you've run out of everything else, because without useful vitamins and minerals like C, B12, iron, you'll start feeling pretty terrible pretty quick. But you need calories to move, so better to suffer through half a dozen vitamin deficiencies than starve to death. Also, fairly obvious plug, but Steve1989MREInfo does taste tests and reviews of all sorts of rations, including a bunch of international ones. The French, Italian, and Czech ones were very well received, the Chinese rations were pretty damn terrible.
@@mr.pontifex7595 oooo the stroganoff was pretty good. And here's an unpopular opinion the scalloped potatoes didn't taste like ass, but instead heaven
And the takeaway is that Jason would travel internationally with a bag full of convenience store food while Brian would order everything and mix it all in a bowl.
Next on Binging with Babish...creating the Modern Rogues MRE. Must contain instant pruno powder, beef jerky, a chocolate substitute, miracle berry tablets, and prison burrito.
Well these bars are made as a last line of defence to prevent a frozen tovarish... What they ate clearly wasn't the real MRE, which is a shame because they *must* try a real Russian MRE, it would be fun to watch them figuring out to eat this pashtet with crackers!
As a former US Marine... someone needs to tell Brian and Jason about the fun things that can be done with MRE heaters... but it can be dangerous so i recommend the designated adults research and test first. *leans in and whispers to adults* pressure bombs
Careful eating MREs often without working out HEAVILY. The meals are meant to give you enough energy for warzones. Not to sit around all day after. It's not just fattening, it's life threatening. "Only in cases of famine."
Love watching when TH-camrs eat the MREs. Been eating them for 20 years and it hilarious every time I watch these. There's a reason you carry a knife, just to open the darn packages. Jalapeno cheese is a like prison currency in the field.
I’ve had MRE from a lot of countries and time periods and I can tell you hands down right now, the Australian franks in spaghetti sauce are the best MRE ever made.
I grew up next to an Army logistics base is Australia, and I can tell you now, we have hands down, some of the best MREs, or CR1M as we call them I'm pretty sure, known to man
So Binging with Babish and SteveMRE...when? Has someone told them the other, non-US MREs weren't the complete thing when the United States one was? Also, the US Pepperoni pizza is widely regarded as the best of the bunch. The british cold weather rations are also pretty good but they are a whole days meal, not just one single meal.
The thing about sesame oil is that a little goes a long way. You normally shouldn't add too much of it when cooking or it will overwhelm the other flavours.
Should try Norwegian mre, they are so good the company that makes them makes a regular version for civilians that a lot of Norwegians take with them on hiking trips😁
Seeing y’all enjoy Combos makes me feel as if I was too harsh on them. My friends and I have always joked that they were dog treats haha. I’ll have to try them again.
That was a russian emergency ration not an MRE. Basiclly thats a your plane was shot down and have shit else to eat heres some calories so you can keep moving
Pro tip from a Canadian veteran with the IMP fruit: Rip up half your bread, mix it in with the coffee creamer and sugar packet in the bag with the fruit. Peaches are the best for it, but you get kind of a pie in a bag.
you guys should try the french rations there the best so good they where a bit of currency in yugoslavia you could use a french ration to buy 3 american ration or 5 spanish ones also if you get french rations from the 50s they should have either half a liter of wine or liter of beer or a quarter of liter of eau de vie (booze) and a pack of cigarette (gauloise caporal)
Canadian here, grew up in Cadets (similar to JROTC), so we had MRE's there. When I heard "Sliced Pears Dessert" my mouth started watering like crazy! Oh how I loved those. hahaha!
Japanese emergency rations for natural disasters are pretty good, had a friend send me some a couple years ago, they are super hard to get ahold of though.
Honestly like these MRE episodes quite a bit. Would be great if you guys could dedicated entire episodes to MREs from a single country. A full episode on french mres (which are famous for being the best) would be awesome
So let me get this straight: Brian has no problems with eating FIFTY YEAR OLD MREs but packaged fruit is too disgusting for him. Did... did I get that right?
Fun fact: the instructions the military gave the Hershey company for the first military chocolate bar was that it had to weigh 4 ounces, be high in energy value, be heat resistant, and taste, and I quote, "a little better than a boiled potato".
The flameless heater was developed at the University of Cincinnati, sadly after I left the service. We used to place the pouches on either the manifold or the block of vehicles. Otherwise you were stuck with the horribly inefficient fuel tabs.
5:21 Brian: mocks Jason about not liking the ingredients but liking the combination. Also Brian: tries anything fruity in the cocktail episodes *surprised pikachu face*
I really do hope this becomes a series. Probably a summary, truncated series, because numerous channels have made months of content out of the range of MREs available, and keep going - but I'm really curious to figure out what Brian thinks has a TWISTY flavor and what doesn't. (For budget: Lithuanian, at least before 2020. Cheap and not bad at all, though Jason may shy away from certain bits.) I'd love to see some Japanese and 24-hour Russian packs too (go for the шпик - unheated if you dare!).
You heathens. 1) the gas in the MRE heater is flammable, use the matches to have fun. B) you need to heat up the mre cheese with the heater as well, so you don't get yellow spackle. 4) murphy is eating combos while making a DIY Combo of the cheese paste and crackers. Good video guys. But seriously try the above mentioned stuff.
You might be interested to know that the flameless ration heaters actually do generate hydrogen gas - this is why they are not allowed to be used on aircraft: Imagine a bunch of soldiers on a plane, each with their FRH cooking away and releasing hydrogen into the cabin. The lower explosive limit for hydrogen mixed with air is only 5%, which could easily be reached in a sealed cabin if enough rations were being cooked with the FRH pouches at the same time. The chemistry involved is deceptively simple: The FRH has a porous cloth bag containing some metal granules and some salt. The metal granules are an alloy of mostly magnesium with a few percent of iron. When you soak the bag with water, the salt dissolves to make a conductive electrolyte, which allows the metal to start reacting with the water. Each little alloy granule essentially becomes a short-circuited electrochemical cell, the net reaction being magnesium + water -----> magnesium hydroxide + hydrogen, which produces a LOT of heat in the process. The iron left over will eventually turn to rust as well, but that is a much slower reaction.
That mre menu honestly looks amazing.... Little tip is to mead the cheese or peanut butter (or toss in the heater), take the heating element out and put it and the meal in at the same time then add water. Also if you mix and match things together they become much better.
I didn't tell you guys to do this, but if you crush the heater up from an MRE, and seal it in a 20 oz mtn dew bottle (empty) and then pour a little water in and seal it, and give it a good shake and throw it, it'll detonate and turn the bottle into something resembling an ashtray (most of the time)

Love watching when TH-camrs eat the MREs. Been eating them for 20 years and it hilarious every time I watch these. There's a reason you carry a knife, just to open the darn packages. Jalapeno cheese is a like prison currency in the field.
The way they turn their noses at the jalapeno spread makes me laugh. That was one of the most sought after items in MREs in the 2010s in my unit.
>around the world
>Visit their own country, two of their nearest countries, the country their country came from, and korea.
On this day, at this time, some people were rioting inside the US Capitol building, some people were here, watching this.
I don’t have time to riot, I have this to watch
We made the right choice.
I mean the entire population doesn't live near the capitol
@@dylanzrim3635 As far as I know, it did. I believe the shot came from capitol police
@@joeyk3134 haha I live in Canada 😂
Man, you guys are really keeping it cutting edge with all these Chubby Checker references 😂😂
Ok when are we gonna get Steve1989 on here
I’ve had MRE from a lot of countries and time periods and I can tell you hands down right now, the Australian franks in spaghetti sauce are the best MRE ever made.
I grew up next to an Army logistics base is Australia, and I can tell you now, we have hands down, some of the best MREs, or CR1M as we call them I'm pretty sure, known to man
So Binging with Babish and SteveMRE...when?
Has someone told them the other, non-US MREs weren't the complete thing when the United States one was?
Also, the US Pepperoni pizza is widely regarded as the best of the bunch. The british cold weather rations are also pretty good but they are a whole days meal, not just one single meal.
Throwback to the burger episode where Brian was the skeptical one
The thing about sesame oil is that a little goes a long way. You normally shouldn't add too much of it when cooking or it will overwhelm the other flavours.
Pro life tip:
Read all the instructions steps befores starting to follow the instructions step by step.
Should try Norwegian mre, they are so good the company that makes them makes a regular version for civilians that a lot of Norwegians take with them on hiking trips😁
Seeing y’all enjoy Combos makes me feel as if I was too harsh on them. My friends and I have always joked that they were dog treats haha. I’ll have to try them again.
Can’t wait to see a “so we were sent over 1,000 mre types to try...” episode
Nobody:
Russians: Komrade you starvin? Kome eat brick and vodka with us under fire where it is warmth.
😐
In Russia, military rations eat you.
As someone who has survived 14 days on nothing but those emergency rations... They are GOOOOOOD
This is like budget Good Mythical Morning
That was a russian emergency ration not an MRE. Basiclly thats a your plane was shot down and have shit else to eat heres some calories so you can keep moving
24:00 yooooo the rhythm!
“Would you consume the bones?” Both: “YES”
Pro tip from a Canadian veteran with the IMP fruit:
Rip up half your bread, mix it in with the coffee creamer and sugar packet in the bag with the fruit. Peaches are the best for it, but you get kind of a pie in a bag.
you guys should try the french rations there the best so good they where a bit of currency in yugoslavia you could use a french ration to buy 3 american ration or 5 spanish ones also if you get french rations from the 50s they should have either half a liter of wine or liter of beer or a quarter of liter of eau de vie (booze) and a pack of cigarette (gauloise caporal)
Canadian here, grew up in Cadets (similar to JROTC), so we had MRE's there. When I heard "Sliced Pears Dessert" my mouth started watering like crazy! Oh how I loved those. hahaha!
princess toadstool is peach, did you mean toadette?
This is everything I wanted. Love seeing Jason enjoying himself!
Japanese emergency rations for natural disasters are pretty good, had a friend send me some a couple years ago, they are super hard to get ahold of though.
Honestly like these MRE episodes quite a bit. Would be great if you guys could dedicated entire episodes to MREs from a single country. A full episode on french mres (which are famous for being the best) would be awesome
I was hoping for fire when they brought up Hydrogen. Just to see if there was enough gas for a flame.
These episodes feel very wholesome in a way.. I enjoy them lots. Keep em up.
Just for everyone else THE RAYCONS ARE NOT COMPARABLE they are okay if you aren’t an audiophile but there are better cheaper options
If you want a review DANKPODS had a episode titled “I bought RAYCONS”
Jason's food preferences are not only entertaining but highly relatable. Marry me, Jason. I'm in Canada, and we have lots of canned food!
So let me get this straight: Brian has no problems with eating FIFTY YEAR OLD MREs but packaged fruit is too disgusting for him.
Did... did I get that right?
Brian hates fruit
Brian is to fruit what Jason is to Chocolate
On the next Modern Rouge Jason gives Brian a haircut with homemade scissors
in mother russia rations bar you.
paging Taras!
Fun fact: the instructions the military gave the Hershey company for the first military chocolate bar was that it had to weigh 4 ounces, be high in energy value, be heat resistant, and taste, and I quote, "a little better than a boiled potato".
This two guys are playing with their foods
The flameless heater was developed at the University of Cincinnati, sadly after I left the service.
We used to place the pouches on either the manifold or the block of vehicles. Otherwise you were stuck with the horribly inefficient fuel tabs.
Markeplier?
5:21
Brian: mocks Jason about not liking the ingredients but liking the combination.
Also Brian: tries anything fruity in the cocktail episodes *surprised pikachu face*
these MRE mukbangs are getting out of hand...
This video is Brian playing with his food, making a child's art piece on his plate while Murphy just tried to eat things
I really do hope this becomes a series. Probably a summary, truncated series, because numerous channels have made months of content out of the range of MREs available, and keep going - but I'm really curious to figure out what Brian thinks has a TWISTY flavor and what doesn't. (For budget: Lithuanian, at least before 2020. Cheap and not bad at all, though Jason may shy away from certain bits.) I'd love to see some Japanese and 24-hour Russian packs too (go for the шпик - unheated if you dare!).
The way that the heat bag cooked the American MRE was incredible! Great video guys!
You heathens. 1) the gas in the MRE heater is flammable, use the matches to have fun. B) you need to heat up the mre cheese with the heater as well, so you don't get yellow spackle. 4) murphy is eating combos while making a DIY Combo of the cheese paste and crackers.
Good video guys. But seriously try the above mentioned stuff.
Love watching you eat food and MRE’s are soo good
You might be interested to know that the flameless ration heaters actually do generate hydrogen gas - this is why they are not allowed to be used on aircraft: Imagine a bunch of soldiers on a plane, each with their FRH cooking away and releasing hydrogen into the cabin. The lower explosive limit for hydrogen mixed with air is only 5%, which could easily be reached in a sealed cabin if enough rations were being cooked with the FRH pouches at the same time.
The chemistry involved is deceptively simple: The FRH has a porous cloth bag containing some metal granules and some salt. The metal granules are an alloy of mostly magnesium with a few percent of iron. When you soak the bag with water, the salt dissolves to make a conductive electrolyte, which allows the metal to start reacting with the water. Each little alloy granule essentially becomes a short-circuited electrochemical cell, the net reaction being magnesium + water -----> magnesium hydroxide + hydrogen, which produces a LOT of heat in the process. The iron left over will eventually turn to rust as well, but that is a much slower reaction.
I think I've learned from this episode that Jason is my spirit animal. All of his responses to the food seem identical to what my own would be.
That mre menu honestly looks amazing.... Little tip is to mead the cheese or peanut butter (or toss in the heater), take the heating element out and put it and the meal in at the same time then add water. Also if you mix and match things together they become much better.
Watching these guys fumble around an MRE is the best part of my day. Love it.
I didn't tell you guys to do this, but if you crush the heater up from an MRE, and seal it in a 20 oz mtn dew bottle (empty) and then pour a little water in and seal it, and give it a good shake and throw it, it'll detonate and turn the bottle into something resembling an ashtray (most of the time)
These two are the most chaotic pair on TH-cam
Was Jason just a little high in this one? No judgement, he was just much more excited about the food than in the other MRE vids.
I know right
Final episode of modern rogue Brian consumes Jason’s bones and gains the ability to rest the injury counter multiple times in the same episode
FYI, you can build a survival shelter if need be using the first strike bars and cheese spread as brick and mortar
This is the cinematic equivalent of a call for help, addressed directly to Steve1989
Snickers bars yo. Hella balanced survival calories.
talk to townsends and see what the revolutionists had to eat
Yess! He is a very informative fellow!
