    Wow, this is some dystopian grade nutrition. Very depressing meal. If this is what soldiers get, I'm a bit terrified to see what the poorest citizens are eating. I mean it made your nose bleed which is super terrifying.

      Honestly from what the R.O.K.A. (Republic of Korea Army) told me. Most regular North Koreans eat whatever they can salvage. In true Communist fashion, the government will seize crops/livestock from farmers.
      Whether its true or not, based on rations like this. I like to think the Korean Soliders I met told me the sad truth.

    This is not real, I know it is a joke (although a sad one). It is commonly known fact that North Korean Army does not have MREs because economy of this country is insufficient to produce them. As far I know (from defectors stories who served in military) they got one meal per day, usually rice, beans and corn but in very small quantities (one million soldiers is hard to feed, especially during constant food shortage). I really feel sorry for these people, they are exploited to the limits by the regime.

    As an active service member, it is always interesting see what comes from the Hermit Kingdom.
    I was stationed at Camp Humphreys in South Korea. And holy shit, this is the most depressing ration I have ever seen.
    The South Koreans have two types of rations, both are very flavorful. One is a cheaper add water rice/seasame individual bag meal. The other (older, I think) is like a US MRE, but comes with Kimchi/Almond cake bar/BBQ Sausages/Rice/M&Ms. Steve1989 has done a review on one.
    I have had quite a few rations from all over (Korea, Denmark, UK, US, Russia). And it is always interesting seeing what each nation feeds their soliders. Oddly enough, the European ones are the best overall so far. The US/UK rations are on the same level of mass produced minimal flavor, but have calories. Russia had the best sides by far and the absolute best/ worst entrees in literal cat/dog food tins due to random food standards. But by far, I thought China had the worst rations. Seeing that North Korea even produced these is shocking.
    All that being said, let me give you some advice being you just ate a North Korean Ration. I would make sure you're in contact with your Primary Care Manager. And I'd cleanse my stomach with two glasses of Prune Juice followed by a glass of Kefir after shitting your brains out.
    Overall, love the information. Just please don't die XD 👌

  • @corkbulb2895
    @corkbulb2895 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    You ate bugs from North Korea. God bless you! The rice was probably completely dry when new and sealed but rice absorbs water like a sponge. As soon as the seal broke, it pulled moisture from the air. The "additional ingredients" are just from extremely poor quality production processes. You can find the same thing in bulk rice purchased for cheap here in the US.
