@@chadhagans6687 oh the barter system and hard to explain the "acquiring things system" to non veterans. Where did you get this? LT better if you don't ask questions, and that is things he can see.
Hi Boys... having eaten my fair share of MRE's as a corpsman with my Marines, I can tell you that if you have been sitting in a dirt hole for 12 hours and somebody tosses you the spaghetti and meatball MRE bag, you don't complain about the "tin" flavor of the meatballs or the chewyness of the bread. Hot food is awesome and everything tastes wonderful!!! :-) Trust me!
Main thing to remember, and its taught from day 1: In the field? "Its fuel not food, men" as if you had to be reminded. In the field its also uncommon to actually have time to use the heater for the entree. Also I've trained with the Brits and they do have their own MREs. I'm not havin a go, but they legitimately were half filled with multiple kinds of tea.
We didn't get a choice, we just got handed the MRE. But it was easy to trade around. Some guys liked one thing and hated another...the opposite for other guys, etc. You ended up with something decent. Mind you, this was back in the 80's. But still, the whole point was to deliver a shit ton of calories in a sturdy and durable package.
Yep, 2,000 calories in a single meal. The bitch of it being you'd be hungry again in a couple of hours. Also didn't have much of a choice of what was offered although they began vegetarian varieties that had better options with the main course than the others. Served 10-15 years later than you apparently. As stated previously thank you for your service.
I was in the marines from 07-2013 . In Afghan I remember trading our MRE ‘s sometimes with the British army just so we all got different stuff lol . British MRE’s are pretty good actually .also put it in the green bag with the white thing inside it . That’s the heater . At water and lean it on a “rock or something” and it activates the heating element . Not only is that how you do it , it literally says rock or something on the directions .
Often guys will stuff two things in the heater. There's usually enough room for the main plus one more item in there, even if it's a tight fit. So you could have warmed up the bread in it. Yes, each nation has its own MRE's though some source a fair share of items from other nations. I think Canada gets some of their items from the US. China tends to have rice, noodles, seafood etc and Spain tends to have certain seafood items, etc. French MRE's have a good reputation and Russian MRE's are quite unique.
MRE = Meals Rejected by Ethiopians. Had my fill of them on Salisbury Plain during the eighties with the 501st TMW out of Greenham Common. Really enjoy your videos - keep up the great work!
This was fun, but to the guy in the middle, it’s best to not lick your fingers when feeding others aka “it’s best to not lick ones fingers whilst serving others” keep ‘em coming guys!
My buddy told me his Afghanistan story about the locals who wanted to cook them a lamb, but ran out of lamb. They learned halfway through the meal that they had to substitute it with feral dog. Can’t turn it down when you’re fighting for hearts and minds.😂 I also worked with a vet who ate MREs everyday for lunch.
It was noted that the initial iterations of MREs had a problems with them popping when subjected to high altitudes. To the point that airborne troops called them MREs=Meals Ready to Explode
With MREs, the trick I did to make sure I never got a truly bad one was to ask for the vegetarian. Not because the main meal of those are good, but because to make up to the calorie count, they tend to have peanut butter and good sides. Main dish was usually sub-par, but the candy bars and other sides were great for trading with others.
As for the quality, it is a matter of happy by perspective. After not eating anything normal for awhile, they start seeming better. Though, let me be very clear, every commander knows to make an effort to provide a 'hot meal.' MREs are only really given when there is no choice. I actually think they are more expensive than having a hot meal delivered, and you can't deny the morale difference.
Army brat here. We used to eat MREs our dad would bring us to try. Some of them were pretty decent but some of them were just awful. I haven’t tried them recently and I would like to think they’ve improved over these many years. Just an aside the sweets were usually pretty good for what they were
Meatball was my favorite MRE. Used to take the main bag it came in, take everything out, then fold it into a bowl then dump the meatballs, cheese and bread into the bowl and mix it up and eat it all together (you don't have time typically to sit down and eat each individual deal at a time). Didn't come with a cookie or anything at all though then
MRE's have came a long way from when I was in the service. I went in the service in 1982. During boot camp, we had Viet Nam Era C Rations. 8 weeks later we got the very first MRE's. There were some that we're really good like Ham loaf, Chicken loaf, spaghetti, beans and franks, and we had some pure shit like dehydrated beef or pork patties, and chicken ala cat puke. The accessories were pound cake, chocolate nut bar, peanut butter, crackers, plain old cheese spread. Coffee, gum. Toilet paper. But we didn't have a way to heat ours. If you wanted yours hot you had to put the foil pack in your clothes against your skin. Another fun fact, I was part of the Air Force group who have recommendations to the manufacturers for improvement. We were responsible for tge mini bottle of tabasco sauce in the accessory pack.
I spent 21yrs in the Army but never had an MRE. We only had C rations. Some people hated them but I didn't have much of a problem. Hot sauce cured a lot of the taste.
I live in So. Cal. I'm a vet and have eaten my share of MREs. I keep a couple or three MREs in my trunk (boot) for emergency purposes. Earthquakes, fires, power outages, etc.
As I’m told the food has a component that makes you constipated. The chewing gum has a laxative power on it. My brother used to make friends with the HEMMET drivers in Iraq ( the heavy equipment truck drivers). Drop the main course down the exhaust stack and wait 15 minutes. Tickle the throttle and blow the hot MRE right out the stack. I think most MRE’s have about 2500+ calories.
The food is intentionally designed to produce little waste In the body. Anyone who has had to crawl out of a fox hole to take a shit appreciates this little detail. You cannot take a shit or piss behind the line so you are exposed when you crawl forward. The less often you have to do that the better. The MREs are a world apart from the Vietnam era C-rats. An MRE would have been a dream. The only advantage in those days was that the C-rat came with 3 cigarettes.
the laxative in the gum is sorbitol some people are more sensitive to it then others i think it is a myth that it is meant to un-constipate the soldiers though bc it is a regular sweetener in all sugar free gum, mouthwashes, and sugar free gummy candy....if you look on ingredients it is either identified as sugar alcohol or sorbitol. The development of sorbitol was as a laxative but they found out it was super sweet so they then advertised it as a sugar replacement.
As far as choosing what you want, unless you have an allergy or know the guy on the "kitchen" detail handing them out, you don't have much say in it. They usually open a few boxes containing about 15 varieties and you stand in a line and eat what gets handed to you.
The chemical heaters react to the water and produce heat and hydrogen gas, which is highly flammable. The MRE's com with a long handled spoon so you can eat straight out of the pouch.
If you put the cheese and Tabasco sauce in every meal, they all pretty much taste the same 😂 Also, if you collect each flavor of the kool aid type powder and mix them all in the same water bottle, it tastes like skittles 😬
If you can get by without it that jalapeno cheese spread worth more than gold in the field, I went to military college and when we did our training exercise people would trade everything and anything they could, we weren't allowed to smoke but chewing tobacco or Dip was ok, and one packet of jalapeno cheese spread was worth a whole tin of dip.
A few of them aren't too bad. When my dad served he'd bring a few home and I'd occasionally buy some when I went to the commissary or saw one that I liked at a Surplus store. They aren't great, but they get the job done for what they are meant for.
Only time i ever used those heaters was when it was raining and we were soaking wet. Otherwise its best to just slam it down while you can. Cooking takes too much time. Shoutout to chili mac, beef taco, chicken noodle soup, and rib shaped bbq pork patty.
In Iraq, that Cheese Spread with Jalapeno was worth it's weight in gold. Part of the point of MREs, and, military rations in general, is a morale boost. British rations, for instance, have tea, rather than coffee. The 24hr British rations will have porridge for breakfast, small differences like that.
That's a frickin rip but I guess if u could ration that in a bad situation for a few weeks u might live ahahaha but if you ate 3 day it would go down hill fast
@@dylanlevy2107 soldiers get 3 of these meals a day, i just bought them to try them all, so i also shared them with friends. But honestly when you look at it its not a rip off, 24 meals for about $8 a piece is pretty average.
MRE's are about to be replaced by the Close Combat Assault Ration. Considering even small FOB's usually have kitchens and real fresh food the Close Combat Assault Ration is food you can eat while on the march.
MREs are an evolutionary thing. They go ouyt to the field and the troops can reccomend changes which are used to improve the mres or change the menu. The choices change to help keep boredom down.
Yes the mre's in other country's have other meals personally never tried any other than the us of a's but i heard other country's mre's are pretty good too edit:also dont forget mre do be very constipating so good luck
They're packed with calories, during high stress (like combat) you lose your appetite. The MRE is designed to replace your entire daily caloric intake and then some. That was a soldier can eat part of one and still have energy for the day. They're not meant to be eaten longer than 30 days in a row, but things happen with supply. One of my buddies was in the Marines the first few days of the current war and they had nothing but MRE's for 40 days, but they had a local who was a miracle worker for scrouging, he would bring them chickens and the occasional goat. A lot of the current MRE contents are commercially manufactured and sold in stores, but in more marketable packaging. The tuna in plastic pouches and stews in plastic packaging came from MRE development. They make the meals taste as good as they can as a morale booster. In the field, their sergeants get first pick and then the rest trade for what they want and the leftovers get put in a duffel bag for later. They eat what they want first. That's usually called "ratfucked" because the "rats" took the good stuff first.
Those were definitely a lesser quality in the 80's and 90's when I was growing up.... My dad was a Supply Sergeant who brought home the extra when allowed because my parents were poor
The cheese in MREs used make you constipated. It was good to be constipated in cold weather, nothing worse than pinching a loaf outside in cold weather. My favorite MRE was the dehydrated pork patty. That was 30 years ago so I'm not sure if they even still make that MRE or not.
There’s a video on the Forces News Channel, called The TASTE TEST: This Veteran Tries Other Nations’ Ration Packs. He tries rations from Italy, South Korea, Spain, Latvia, Kazakhstan, Russia, and The USA. And tells his opinion on each one.
When I got tha spaghetti you add the cheese to it. Throw the bread at that enemy. The bread always brings birds. It's like an appetizer. We're coming for ya
Basically, every MRE except the Omlet is decent. The Omlet is inedible and even worse they gave you Red Hots instead of Peanuts or Skittles so you didn't even get full of off one. Most leaders acted as though the Omlet was a placeholder bag.
Two English friends have two youtube channels, Korean Gentleman channel and companion channel Jolly. They did a whole series on MREs, including American, British, Korean, French and Russian (which was scary). They had British soldiers try the Korean MRE and Korean soldiers try the British and it was very funny.
A a veteran I approve of this video...... you poor bastards lol. Oh and next time put the cheese in with the meal while it's Heating it comes out better trust me
The bread is NOT meant to be cooked. In fact, most of the time we ate the entire meal cold. Also, we would absolutely fight over the Cheese Tortilini packs because they came with peanut butter M&M's.
These things are packed with calories for active young people in combat conditions. Older guys like me need to keep them at arms length except in emergencies! 😂
Let's get these blokes out onto a tray. Nice!
Nice hiss!
Steve MRE ftw. 😆
Excellent reference
Nice hiss!
* gags* Oh god that's definitely rancid. Hold on let me go in for another bite
Trust me, if you eat MRE's on a regular basis, you won't be "regular" lol. You'll get clogged like a sorority shower drain.
That's by design. The only thing worse than constipation on a battle field is bubble guts.
@@willvr4 I'm aware. Been there lol.
That's what the poop gum is for, lol.
That’s why they got that “gum” 😂
Youre not lying!! But on the field I'd rather be stopped up than to be squatting over a hole when the enemy comes along.
That jalapeño cheese spread is worth more than gold out in the field
I work at the company in Wisconsin that makes the plain and jalapeño spreads.

Dave "Sweaty Nose" McGoo
Old Vietnam vet buddy of mine gave me a couple of these, I haven't tried them, saving em for a camping trip or something of that sort
You were suppose to heat the cobbler and possibly the cookie. Also, that jalapeno cheese spread was so good it was used as currency during the war.
cobbler is pretty much an american style pie that someone beat the shit out of then served
It's like upside-down cake with fruit on the bottom and crust/pastry on the top.
LOL !! It is ugly pie. I also associate more with the crumble on top as well.
This is the best description of cobbler in the history of cobbler
A lot of people find different hacks with them, heat up the cobbler or the cheese sauce or mix this and that for example
You didn't incline the heater enough and that's why the meat balls were hot on bottom and not at the top! Newbies!
How about a blind taste test of marmite and vegemite? Does that sound like fun?
try diffrent usa menus! bring this back!

Steve has to teach these guys how to eat a ration
Lets get that out on a tray, nice.
Freaks me out every time he uses the knife lol
I always have a a couple MRE's sotwed in my vehicles along with a roadside emergency kit.
I dont think I have ever been this early to one of your videos. Lucky me.
They need to get the MRE cook book going. Show them how to mix and match the different combinations to make the taste better.
The troops must really fight over that particular MRE, it comes with a liter of whiskey!
You three are the best blokes on TH-cam! Thanks for another great video.

I live in So. Cal. I'm a vet and have eaten my share of MREs. I keep a couple or three MREs in my trunk (boot) for emergency purposes. Earthquakes, fires, power outages, etc.
I remember stuffing that chemical packet inside my BDUs (when the U.S. army still used BDUs) once to help keep me warm because it was so cold out.
Also ranger pudding (cocoa, creamer, and water)!
Been out of the service for many years , but from what I hear , the Pepperoni Pizza MRE's are the most prized by the Troops in the field .
When we deployed for Desert shield the first item on the list was 8 boxes of Ex-Lax for a 6 month deployment. I regret not taking it to this day.
As I’m told the food has a component that makes you constipated. The chewing gum has a laxative power on it. My brother used to make friends with the HEMMET drivers in Iraq ( the heavy equipment truck drivers). Drop the main course down the exhaust stack and wait 15 minutes.

The food is intentionally designed to produce little waste In the body. Anyone who has had to crawl out of a fox hole to take a shit appreciates this little detail.

The MREs are a world apart from the Vietnam era C-rats. An MRE would have been a dream. The only advantage in those days was that the C-rat came with 3 cigarettes.
They are drinking bourbon as well...that will counter any constipation!

Basically, every MRE except the Omlet is decent. The Omlet is inedible and even worse they gave you Red Hots instead of Peanuts or Skittles so you didn't even get full of off one. Most leaders acted as though the Omlet was a placeholder bag.
MRE = Meal Ready to Eat lol - heat it up on the engine block if needed
The item Mike is holding is a Challenge Coin.
Two English friends have two youtube channels, Korean Gentleman channel and companion channel Jolly. They did a whole series on MREs, including American, British, Korean, French and Russian (which was scary). They had British soldiers try the Korean MRE and Korean soldiers try the British and it was very funny.
Your missing the most important thing for MRE's a bottle of hot sauce.
Wait till they find out every one of those is loaded with saltpeter...
It’s not meant to be a good nutritious tasty meal, it’s literally meant to just keep you alive
And loaded with preservatives
Should heated the cobbler and the bread sticks with the main course
Should have sent them veggie omelet lol
A a veteran I approve of this video...... you poor bastards lol. Oh and next time put the cheese in with the meal while it's Heating it comes out better trust me
this dude really out here suggesting you steam the bread XD maybe hes right just sounds weird to me ;o
You guys got to do the sugar free gummy bear challenge
That cherry cobbler is FIRE. I'd fight someone for that in the right situation.
I've seen people fight over the jalapeno cheese spread lmao that shits like gold
probably the first time breadsticks were called biscuits in the history of American military.
Office blokes try “speed” !!!
Lots of sodium to retain water and bread and cheese to stop a shite for a few days each package is around 6000 calories
Will you guys try sports on this channel?
The bread is NOT meant to be cooked. In fact, most of the time we ate the entire meal cold. Also, we would absolutely fight over the Cheese Tortilini packs because they came with peanut butter M&M's.
These things are packed with calories for active young people in combat conditions. Older guys like me need to keep them at arms length except in emergencies! 😂
