Se cerchi la carne e la cerchi italiana la scelta migliore è carne montana
Se vuoi una bestemmia e la cerchi italiana la scelta migliore è madonna puttana.
Connor, sono d'accordo.
Per me invece la mozzarella migliore è quella di bufala campana
ahahah
Zitto, la Simmental e megliore
@@Riccardo272 Sono d'accordo
Nothing like a bit of liquid courage to get you in the mood.
Alan Livingston damn straight
I'd save up a few of the cordials so I could get a buzz.
🤣 🤣 🤣 Don't ask why am drunk
Who else came here from steve1989?
Me! :-)
Nice!
Let's get this out onto a tray, M'kay Nice!
Side note, the beef in gelatine has almost no fat. The gelatine si the cooking broth condensed, nothing more. i have seen some people asking if it was fat in an other video about Italian MREs but it's actually very very light in calories, almost full proteins and carbs. (Source, that beef jelly can be found in any store in Italy, people here just put it in salads during hot days to avoid cooking).
Btw nice video!
Avada Kedavra thank you! Yes. Molecularly, gelatin is a protein, not fat. Very well put.
RC Gusto And you can heat it and it becames broth...
What do you do with it? Drop it in the soup?
@@rcgusto2427 Gelatin is a pretty good preservative. It keeps meat and stuff from drying and forms a kind of seal around it.
Nice review. I've been enjoying the mre reviews done by you and some of the other reviewers. Please keep 'em coming!
I've gotten into watching MRE experiences after happening upon one of Steve's videos. It's wonderful that he consistently suggests others in the community to check out. I'm very glad I did.
Love the fact that you put the spoon in the skull's mouth like the arditi of ww1 did by putting a knife in its mouth
Hey RC Gusto, love your reviews. I have the same menu and will open it next weekend. Thanks for helping me know what to expect. 👍
Really nice review sir,all the meals looked great thanks👍
Fmlyman 1012 thank you for your support!
I really appreciate Steve1989 for bringing me over to you cause I really like your videos!! Keep it up 👍
Ethan Jackson thanks for watching! New one up tomorrow
You're a class act, Gusto. I really enjoy your style. Keep 'em coming!
MsKestrela thank you for your support! 35ish year old beef hash coming Wednesday!
Really cool video! I appreciate the fact you've done all the meals in one, I don't like waiting 😆
Daniel Cannon I debated breaking it up into two vids, but ultimately decided that I could make it flow well enough to make a single vid
Just got my hands on one of these👍 booze for breakfast, heck yeah. Ty for this vid!
Awesome review mate. Good bit of luck that liquor being in one piece.
Ol' Mate Dropbear thank you! This one was a blast to explore
Very nice gesture on your part Gusto. We need more people like you in the world.
Eric Ellis you mean the St. Jude thing?
RC Gusto - Yessir.
Great review, love your videos!
Cheryl Muffin thank you!
The tuna and beans was the best part for me....it had to be a really high protien food...great review!
Great review! I need to start taking lessons from you too! Cheers RC
gundog4314 thanks Gundog!
Here because of steve1989... me likes what it sees. New sub! 😉
Sara Fuentes thank you very much!
I dont know why i like to watch these... But good job man, keep it up
ardillochato thank you!
really enjoy ur videos!
I love how your hand just flies in from off screen with the item, it's so entertaining! (I an *not* being sarcastic, I genuinelly find it entertaining.)
Empoly Does Nothing not sure why I started doing it that way...just kinda made sense. Plus the table I use for filming is just big enough for the tray and cups. I keep all of the items beside the camera. Then I cut all of the dead air between movements, makes it look like my hands are blazing fast. Thanks for watching!
No need to thank me! Just keep on doing what you do!
Tutta quella cazzo di acqua nel caffè!
Tollis Tost 8&9 già.... americani e il loro sciacquone...
Tollis Tost 8&9 ma serio, zio cane!
Ma serio loro esagerano con il loro caffè discarica...
beh gli americani lo bevono cosi... brodaglia. Non che quel caffe' sia sto granche' dopotutto, anzi... na ciofeca
whoo hoo you got the cordial awesome review
Kahlest Enoch I was so relieved that the package was intact.
You seem to have pronounced the name of the Ravioli meal right there tbh. Those MRE's international wise, You could seriously live off of those. Keep up the great work.
NWOWCW4Life1 thanks! I usually sound dumber trying to pronounce them correctly, so I just go with what feels natural...right or wrong
The bran tablets are a cool addition.
In a tenth videos showing gallette "sea travel dried biscuits" it is the first time that it came in a single piece, as they are easy to crack in crumbs during transport.
We use that kind of biscuits as they lasts for years and you can spread jelly or jam on it or you can pour it into milk or into soup...
Keep up the great content i applaud the person who risks inhaling or consuming mold spores for the greater good for charity
Fun fact: the presence of alcohol in the Italian MRE is due to the geographic conformation of the Italian peninsula. Italy is surrounded on three sides by the Mediterranean Sea, leaving just the northern mountainous regions for potential enemies to invade; that's why boozes were considered necessaries for soldiers, because they had to warm them up in case of mountain fights
Good to see the video up I was starting to wonder what happened to you
Nathan's MRE man, I've been utterly swamped at work, plus went out of town with my family for a week. I'm here...tons of stuff to review
RC Gusto good to hear, looking forward to more reviews
love the art
I served 12 months as a conscript in the Italian Army Mountain Warfare Troops and ate the MRE countless times (btw in the Italian Army they are called Razioni K), my favorite module included Pasta e Fagioli, dark chocolate, condensed milk and of course Cordiale. Cordiale was the only thing you could barter with cigarettes with your comrades. On a side note Canned Ravioli or Tortellini is something you cannot find in Italian food shops, they simply don't exist in Italy and to be sincere every Italian find them repulsive.
I love these reviews
Naruto Uchiha thank you!
I've noticed, particularly in France and Spain that it is quite normal to have a shot of something on your way to work, with a coffee and cake/tortilla, even if you're driving...
nice chalk drawings!
Great review RC! Had the chance to get one of these back in the fall but the seller on eBay closed/ended the auction with less than 24hrs to go.... I was rather disappointed
BTemple oh that sucks.
You actually said “minestrone” quite well :D, you only missed the last letter, but that’s a huge thumbs up for you 😃
i love the chalk drawings outside
The beef in gelitin is a popular food from back in the day. We refer to it as aspic.
I like your videos....very interesting
Being Italian I love this!
I work in developing MRE's for the upcoming war in Iran. I kid you not, they are toying with the idea of (basically) methamphetamine laced juice in the morning menu and also adding 2.5 ounces of whiskey for dinner menu and/or a benzodizapine (Valium; 10mgs) laden juice drink to bring the solider down...
Really enjoy these videos, one thing though, it's Ministrone-ie ;-)
I would soak the sweet biscuits in the cordial and then apply the apricot spread.
This MRE has really an Italian touch - if you compare it with other European - it's different maybe Spanish/Portuguese are similiar
Awesome ration, looks like they at pretty well and love the fact it had a cordial in it;)
sharon maurer it's a pretty good one. I'm uploading another Italian menu this weekend--special forces module A
Hi Gusto it was a great one for sure. And looking forward to the next one:)
@@rcgusto2427 no more cordiale for newer Italian rations... It was great when we were waking up completely frozen, it helped with the bad coffee. Also great in the fruit.
Gusto has kids, and lives someplace with a lot of trees, and close to a main highway.
That montana canned meat has a about 150 kcal. More than 20g of proteins and 3g of fat for the whole 215g serving. Top of that it tastes really good. About the fruit cocktail you are supposed to discard that liquid.
I want that bowl, it would never get old
Alberto Hinojosa you'd have to fight my kids for it
RC Gusto May the best fighter win!
I'm not even done with the video and I'm hungry now
Im sure that it is pretty good tasting but I think I would get hungry if that was my daily food, but great review!
back in the 1960's there was a luncheon meat like that meat gelatin. It was just a bread slice sized version of it.
Regarding alcohol in rations the Royal Navy supplied a rum ration to their crews for 300 years until fairly recently (stopped in 1970s), officers had theirs neat ABs had theirs watered down and mixed with lime to prevent hoarding up and subsequent gross drunkenness. Even the navy knew not to dole it out until noon! ... it was more generous than this Italian cordial. Sailors had the option of refusing it and being compensated monetarily, but most didn't. Anyway cigarettes were in Army rations until about the same time ('70s/80s?).
After hearing what grappa is made of, I've never tried it - but it is supposed to be made from the seeds, skins and stems of wine-making grapes - basically the left-overs from making wine. Supposedly pretty coarse and unpleasant, unless of course you've become used to it over the years (I suppose).
Actually it's the exact contrary.
nice video
Federico thank you! Really interesting ration
Have you found a cherry in one of the fruit cup?
I would probably swap the alcohol. ..with someone as I don't really drink. ..except special occasion. .but what luck RC gusto x
gusto got a question I wanna try an MRE is it best to just try the main entre like some offer on mreinfo .com or is it better to mix and match the sides and drink and the main thanks.
Misfit Tim You really can't go wrong. My only suggestion is don't get the chicken with noodles. It's just not good. Having some condiments to spice items up a bit would be good. I'd just look at the published menus on MREinfo and figure out which one contains most of the items that you like. There's something satisfying about starting with an unopened pack.
Realize this comment is quite late, but an Italian friend who purports to know the 'spirits' business, but the cordial is what might be called "Napoleon Brandy," which was more or less popular in the US, and Europe prior to the 21st Century.
I was wondering what you do with the new after the vid do you finish it or just throw it away or do something else
Naruto Uchiha I usually eat the things I like, toss the rest. I ate some of the tuna and beans, some of the ravioli. Jam, sweet biscuits, fruit bar too. Sometimes I feed the pates to my dog and cat. They freakin love it.
RC Gusto That's cool
Spreads with the inside of the spoon
Right. Much easier with the outside.
@@meribast Maybe, if the jam was on the outside of the spoon. When you spread a spoonful of jam on toast, do you always rinse off what you can't get out of the spoon or do you try to get it onto a corner of the toast?
@@MrAlumni72 I already said on the outside of the spoon...
Nothing like a cocktail with breakfast. Hehehe...
Ho fame :3
I got a few newer us mre 2003 I think but it would be neat to have a older sea ration
Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to afford one of these rations. Or maybe I can trade for one someday. I think all rations should have a shot and cigs.
Hair of the dog with breakfast. They know what’s up.
Nice review! Also how much did that cost you?
ទិវា សាលដីកា more than I'd like to admit...but it was worth it.
ទិវា សាលដីកា and thanks for watching!
RC Gusto btw love your videos they keep me entertained in school when i'm in study hall
at last you didn't cook the Montana Beef, nice video! i'm italian and i drink coffe with liquor ahah nothing of wrong, all the soldiers in the history get substance.
Sorry for my english kek
Islampanc thank you! I have seen a lot of comments to cook the beef gelatin, but it seemed to be intended to be eaten cold
We just don’t do breakfast in Italy 😂 unless it’s Sunday
Usually it’s just bread and jam or some biscuits
LOL my buddies told me i was nuts to add a random plastic airline bootle of various schnapps brandies and liquors to some of my homemade mres need to show them this vid
It's quite quite posible that the cordial is intended to be drink with the coffee, is quite common to drink coffee and in special capuchino with a dose of liquor, if it's grappa, most likely intended to go with the capuchino
carlosflar quite possibly, but this one I had to experience straight up
RC Gusto there is no better way to know if this MRE is worth the shot... Ba-dum-tsss
I have always wanted to try and American mre do you have any suggestions on where to get one to try?
Hannah Megredy easiest and cheapest would be Amazon
Ok thank you very much!
If you had a big enough bowl for both cans, you could quite literally beef up the minestrone.
Glad to see you back, and are well sir. Cordial intact? Rarity. I love Breakfast, but, well, that might help jump start my metabolism, LOL ! Remember dogs review, bad luck, Ouch. All items, all 3 meals did look good. Well, not exactly on the beef and gelatin, otherwise? LOL !! Tuna and beans, well questionable, from where I come from, LOL. Different, granted sir. That is one hell of A ration. And, they did divide meals, so you did not have to Awesome friend. Glad tuna and beans tasted good, I was unsure, sorry R.C.? Coffee that strong, wow ! Great review again, we enjoy your reviews, and all the others, here in this collection, of, people who enjoy reviews. Peace, John. P.S. I was going to say misfits, but, if we enjoy, we are not misfits sir. There are A lot of good people here, and appreciate all that everyone does. Why are MRE's so addictive to us? We share food, ideas, concepts, between countries. I believe this is good for all r.c. Nite, Peace, John.
MultiMagnum62 glad to be back--life has just been busy over the past few weeks, but getting back to normal now. Lots of good stuff coming soon.
MultiMagnum62 thanks for watching as always John!
Life gets in the way, for all of us agreed sir. Peace, John.
Do you find it wierd that they take a shot at breakfast
Naruto Uchiha I have no objections
RC Gusto as I do I either it s Italia culture my late friends culture and I respect that!!!!
My Nonno had a shot of brandy and 1/2 a lemon every morning with a soft boiled egg. He lived to be 104.
Actually, while alcohol will make you feel warmer, it actually lowers your core body temperature because the alcohol causes your blood vessels to dilate and this flushing moves the blood to your skin, but away from internal organs.In a very cold environment, even if this effect only lasts minutes, it can cause hypothermia. Plus alcohol can act as a diuretic causing dehydration if adequate water isnt available. My thought is this is added purely to give the Italian Soldiers a little taste of home when they are far from it. Alcohol is part of Italian food culture. I'm sure they aren't acting like giddy teens who scored 1/2 bottle of Boone's Farm Strawberry Wine on Prom Night.The booze is much like why the American MREs contain certain candies, drinks, and even some entrees that are not very nutritious by themselves, but to a guy or gal 5000 miles from home it fits the bill and staves off homesickness.
Samidella idella
Also it can be used as disinfectant in a pitch
Wondering about putting the beef into the soup and heating it all up to a boil. I think that would be Fab
CAT G.Blondecat that did not occur to me, but is a fantastic idea. It would have been awesome.
the liquor was probably meant for the coffee, which would boil off some of the alcohol, but spice up the coffee.
Damien Hazard I considered that, but ultimately, I'm glad I didn't mix them. Much more enjoyable by itself.
"Pause to take a look at those" Um yeah, thanks a lot man.
RC Gusto, do you like the Italian MRE more? Or the Dutch? If you had to choose
D L Dutch. Especially the Arctic Dutch
That's alway's good to hear as being a Dutchman myself, since a MRE from Italia is considered to be the best. (What you told at the beginning of this video)
D L Italian is probably a top 5, but not best in my opinion.
Galliano.
is that cordial galliano?
Do you live under the flight path of LAX? :-)
your pronunciation is not bad. keep it up.
Good video. Just to let you know Italians like to pour a shot of liquor into their coffee.
we used to put it in the coffee because that one is not great tasting, also it goes well with the fruit
I can imagine italian soldiers hoarding all the cordial they get and filling thier canteen up one day and go to drill drunk
Elijah Watson sounds like a plan!
gusto have you ever laughed in your entire life or are you 100% serious all the time
Haze I laugh all the time.
Haze I can vouch that he's funny as hell.
How much the MRE's you buy cost? And if you could can, would you eat MRE's every day?
Hikary Plays I don't have a real good estimation, but I'd say that a normal one would cost 40-60 bucks
Hikary Plays you can get US MREs for about $10-12 on eBay or Amazon. The international and vintage ones range from $40-200 depending on rarity
If it's about health , I wouldn't eat Mre's everyday.... Not the most nutritious food out there. So often they contain way to much sugar and empty calories. (Nothing beats fresh and homemade foods you know.)
Saying that, I'd be curious tasting an MRE still.
The French and Russian ones , etc seem less trashy though.
If it's about the cost , I have no idea.
HPKazan not to mention you would be horribly constipated.
LOL. Yeah, they severly lack vegetables and fibre.
A nutritionist's and healthy eater's nightmare.
I love European sweets because they don't use truckloads of sugar and/or high fructose corn syrup.
After seeing many MRE reviews, I have to admire the US flameless ration heater. It's so efficient and ideal, the portable stove seems a bit inefficient considering you would use more tablets to keep it burning. Plus having big cans like that seems like it would be a problem on the move. But that cordial is sweet.
Marth I'll be interested to see the new heaters that are in development--I've seen sticker heaters that do not require water.
RC Gusto - Sticker heaters? That's pretty efficient, kind of along the lines of a heat patch, but just for food. I bet with something like that you could have a couple heater patches as oppose to just one flameless ration heater.
Not to mention for missions and recon or stealth type missions, a heating system like that would be invaluable, and not having to waste any precious water, and having to have a meal while remaining concealed in enemy territory.
I would probably have put the beef-in-gelatin into the morning box, extra protein to start the day.
What is up with going outside to heat up the food?
My wife surprisingly doesn’t like me starting fires in the house, on the furniture 🤣
That ration is really rare i buy a Italian 24 hours and it's pretty expensive
Where can you buy MREs?
Some Random Guy Amazon
Question: If the meals are COTS items why would they be concerned about constipation?? Just the soup alone would keep the pipes clear....... Cheers.
10:39 was that a fart 😂😂😂
Uriah Polite as much as I'd love to say yes, it was not. It was me speaking during the increased speed segment
Uriah Polite really time, I said "doesn't want to come out"
@@rcgusto2427 Yeah right lol you know that shot of alcohol made you fart
you could've made a spread with the canned beef
viva viva Italia combbattoire bueno rigazza
I really want to try italian rations but i am a very very picky eater
man the australian cr1 mre is the business over this lol
6:27 he bit the cookie and it looks like the shape of California
How much would something like that cost?
IrishKitty1024 more than I'd like to admit.
