On Cedevita 1L means 1 liter of prepared drink. Soup needs to be cooked for 10min. Pate needs to go on bread for best taste. First coffee is straight black coffee with no sugar, We use sugar and milk with it usually. Chocolate spread goes on bread as well.
The Uvin tea is very famous here in Croatia, you drink that when you have an UTI. You just make a bunch of it and drink as much of it as you can in one go, it really soothes the situation the more you pee it. I never came across that in any other country like, commercially available in stores which makes me think it's a Croatian patent or at least i think so.
A tip for the future, when you have such a big ration, you could just separate it and make a three meal situation throughout the day. Breakfast which includes coffee, lunch with those beans and ham and dinner. Other than that, thanks for trying our food.

You must know few things. Croatian food companies like podravka, kraš, pliva, kandit, gavrilović....is one of the best food companies in europe. I can say it is one of the best in the world. I travelled all around of world and I always try to buy croatian products. Because it is the one of the best. Cedevita,vegeta.....is the world famous products.
I'm Croatian and live in Germany now and all my German/other country friends are hooked on croatian and balkan products in general. They really are just better 😂😂
It's a rose hip jam, not pomegranate (in croatian we have same word for pomegranate and rosehip). Rose hip is much healthier than pomegranate though - 100 grams of rose hips have 710% of daily vitamin C dose!
Da, sipak in both case meaning a general type of fruit growing from a flower's hip. Same with Caj, that indicate tea (this is crni caj-black tea) but generally any infusion. Uvin H is digestive, majcina dusica a calmant.
I would love to try this ration. This is so different from what we usually see..looks almost vintage in its design. Thanks for sharing..wish we could get one for ourselves..great job Nathan
During the Yugoslavian war (1991-1996) my father was in a Croatian army and he sent us back home some military food packages, and I can assure you most of these brands were in it (Podravka, Gavrilović, Eva, Kraš, Zvečevo and so on). But everything changes with time, so as MREs. Croatia is a beautiful country, coastline is just perfect, most beautiful in whole of Europe. And we do have some high quality stuff here, believe it or not. Italian food is awesome, there is no question about it, but Croatian have similar food and we have great many things Italian don't. That Lino (linolada) chocolade spread is far more tastier and far more natural than Nutella, and yet for Nutella is everyone heard, and for Linolada no one is :) Croatia is not some shithole most people would assume. Croats invented some stuff, like pen (Vladimir Slavoljub Penkala), like mens tie (kravata, croata), and greatest inventor of all time was from Croatia (Nikola Tesla). And I think there is a company from which you can buy food boxes (similar to MRE) of most world countries, check it out. Bye

Another good review, Nathan. I can buy Podravka pashtet/pâtés and soups at my local supermarket here in Australia. It is a Croatian company. That Cedevita 9-vitamin lemon drink says on the front that it makes 1 litre. You wouldn’t want that sensual coffee in a platoon of men. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! That is a stonking amount of sugar and what I call “useless carbs”- i.e. white flour- when you add it all up. Even given that it’s for 24 hours! The sardines look really nice. The uvin caj (tea) is made from bearberry, according to Mister Gurgle. It grows in higher altitudes in the US and Native Americans used it to make yellow dye. No dang milk or creamer or sugar for your coffee or hot chocolate. I wonder how many guys carry around their own supplies?
thing with that uvin tea and dišica tea they are good for fighting bladder infections and herbal candy is good for sore throat and all of this food is good because is comercial and is sold to public they have army contract but food must be good for public nobudy gona buy it if it is shit
box is recycled and this is civilian package what you can buy in any store military have better pack and don't have labels definitely not military packaging, but still interesting pack and not bad at all Lino - spread on a piece of bread
Hi from Croatia u need to stir that cedevita drink and put sugar in coffes and ho chocolate , i drink that stuff every day for years , i put 6 small spoons of cedevita in that glass like yours amazing drink , also that soup needs to be boiled cheers .
In Croatia mostly women drink Uva Ursi tea for urinary tract problems, but I found scientific paper that says it is pretty toxic :) But other, Thyme tea is very healthy - thyme herb has plenty of vitamin A and C and iron.
I'm Croatian but I've never seen some of these products. You got me interested in the beans with meat can, will actually buy it tomorrow to try it. And is that picture like Makarska from 1975 lol
Linolada nema nikakve veze sa Nutellom...Podravka je davnih dana 70tihgod proslog stoljeca radila Kinder Ladu pod licencom i kad je licenca istekla nastavila dalje proizvoditi isti proizvod pod svojim nazivom Lino Lada
Very interesting but more of a camping trip load out or one for soldiers that can take the time to prepare things. It does feel like more of a civilian emergency ration for 1 to 2 people. But the quality of the items is very nice!

That's a lot of coffee?? Nah, it's barely enough for me!!! Heck, the US MRE coffee I need to use a pipette to drip hot water onto as there's just not enough coffee in them for a decent cuppa... :P
That what I was thinking, the actual MRE are just the norm like the American type. Instead of western food we mostly have just goulaš for the main meal, but other then that it’s similar to the west
Hmmm, maybe some of those sweets are trade (or 'good-will') items. I could see swapping 'em to locals for bread and such. There's certainly more than the average soldier could consume in a single day.
Uva Ursi is commonly called Bear Berry here. The berries are not worth eating. Not bad but boring. The leaves were used by Mountain men as tea ,or a tobacco substitute.
i have never been in the armed forces...never in combat. that said. i would think that a meal box like this would be so much better than the individual meals in us mres. lots of on the go energy and substance but the mains can also be eaten on the go. the soup can go into a canteen to keep you going all afternoon or on the night watch when its cold. but they can also be eaten like a regular meal. i know when i was working 14-16 hour days with pee breaks a luxury we keep just this sort of food on us and at the desk to grab a bite as we went to catch another light, bell or chime. we kept thermoses of hot soup for cold nights. i would assume a soldier on the move or busy building or watching would do the same.

@sada das Its not real. It was repackaged by someone. Kako znam? Nije zamotan zelenom plastikom nego obicnom prozirnom. Plus pravi ima 3 paketa keksa koji su zapakirani srebrnom plastikom.
I ate so much canned sardines when i Was on a vacation in Croatia. Of course i ate a lot of fresh seafood too. Amazing seafood. And i am a Norwegian telling you this, so it must be good ;-)

Drinking Game..... Every time Nathan says interesting take a drink. Idk if you'll make it to the end of the video if you play this game haha. Definitely civilian put together meal. It's hard to tell where those box's came from.
try rubbing the bottom of the spoon on the rim of the bowl before eating, it clears off any liquid on the underside. save dripping it or burning your hand.
that jug the noodle soup is in is only 500mil not a 1Lt..........and the packet of lemon drink mix says it makes 1L of drink on the front of the packet.
Bravo lega, zanimljivo mi je kako pojedini iz hrvatske koji nisu bili u vojsci misle da je ovo "cso" volio bi da sam to dobijao, a ne smece koje sam stvarno morao jesti. Pitao bi tu djecu da su stvarno jeli "rambo" kekse 😂😂😂 svasta prolazi na netu 😂😂😂😂
"Cedevita" vitamin drink should never be left to stay for the long time dissolved. Vitamins added, tend to disintegrate in common water solution , while stable as dry and separate. There is a carbon bicarbonate and citric acid added to absorb water in case of ingress. should be drank within a minute of dissolving.
Those look like dried pears. They have a better texture than dried apples. Actually I think they are freeze dried pears. Just dried are chewy. Freeze dried have a crunch that is similar to Styrofoam.
I can GUARANTEE you that this is NOT an official MRE... These are all store-bought items and packaged as a wanna-be MRE... "Plodine" is a so-called "hyper-market" in Croatia, and this does not seem to be a professionally thought-of combat ration just FYI...
"Kokos kocke rfs" = "Coconut cubes bulk". Plodine is repackager, therefore "bulk". Original producer varies, could be Thailand or somewhere in the east.
It is not actually pomegranate it is rosehip (fruit of the wild roses), problem is that the same name is used for both pomegranate and rosehip in the Croatian language.
Was the package covered with darkgreen vacuumed foil when you recieved it? If not then I have suspicion that this might be "fanmade" MRE from someones home in Croatia. Then again I might be wrong but it is kinda strange to me to see a lot more food than in previous Croatian MRE I saw. Don't get me wrong I dont want to accuse anyone of anything. Btw im happy to see that you like most of food and drink :)
I would take some of that chocolate condensed milk in the coffee with some creamer and then maybe some of that on one of the biscuits or maybe add the jam with it
While this could be seen as an improved Croatian MRE, this was made by someone with some of our Croatian products, our military MRE's come in a green heavy plastic bag and are definitely not writen over with a pencil or dates scribed out. I've been in the system not that while back and this stuff is not the real deal.
I was looking at this and it looks like everyone else came to the same conclusion? A regular military ration would have had an accessory pack, matches, a heater or something? Toilet paper? This looks like someone went and got things abd boxed them up? Interesting package, though?
To explain quickly Real Croat MRE uses all of this stuff that's in the box but in special containers(all this that he eats is basically store bought packing) and mostly not all together like here, I haven't been in croatia for a long time so i don't know how much has changed but probably not much. my uncle drives a van for the military and he used ti bring me MREs weekly. haven't had one for 5 to 6 years.

koji si ti gladus buraz 😂😂 pa kaak ti ovo nije dosta za jedan dan?
I know the guy whose picture is on the chocolate bar at 07:00 hahah, he's a sim racer now
that jug the noodle soup is in is only 500mil not a 1Lt..........and the packet of lemon drink mix says it makes 1L of drink on the front of the packet.
Looks like they just went to the local market and chucked some stuff into a box.
@70 Roadrunner that would have been heaven
Great video
All this stuff inside are made in Croatia. Made in our food brand factories
This is NOT a standard CRO MRE. You just got a box of Croatian food products.
Bravo lega, zanimljivo mi je kako pojedini iz hrvatske koji nisu bili u vojsci misle da je ovo "cso" volio bi da sam to dobijao, a ne smece koje sam stvarno morao jesti. Pitao bi tu djecu da su stvarno jeli "rambo" kekse 😂😂😂 svasta prolazi na netu 😂😂😂😂
"Cedevita" vitamin drink should never be left to stay for the long time dissolved. Vitamins added, tend to disintegrate in common water solution , while stable as dry and separate. There is a carbon bicarbonate and citric acid added to absorb water in case of ingress. should be drank within a minute of dissolving.
But honestly Nathan.... Nutella on a TUC cooky is like an American flag on a Russian army-tank haha lol...
Or was it Jam :)
Those look like dried pears. They have a better texture than dried apples. Actually I think they are freeze dried pears. Just dried are chewy. Freeze dried have a crunch that is similar to Styrofoam.
19:24 if you found such a thing in a French ration, make sure you don't waste it
I can GUARANTEE you that this is NOT an official MRE...
These are all store-bought items and packaged as a wanna-be MRE...
"Plodine" is a so-called "hyper-market" in Croatia, and this does not seem to be a professionally thought-of combat ration just FYI...
It IS an official MRE. These are the items that come in them, and yes, they're all regular items you can buy in stores.
@@derbigpr500 you're naive mate...trust me
@@derbigpr500 they are not, this mre is a joke, but the products are good.
As a Croat, I can tell you that you are right.
true. real MRE package is wrapped in thick green waterprrof wrappings that you can not open without blade
How does coffee smell dark?
Dark roast
@@JustLiesNOR Thanks, makes sense now.
Mikado- chocolate with puffed rice. Originally Croatian brand and process, now changed hands, so technically it is Nestle...
"Kokos kocke rfs" = "Coconut cubes bulk". Plodine is repackager, therefore "bulk". Original producer varies, could be Thailand or somewhere in the east.
It looks as if they just popped by the local supermarket to get all these.
yes they are.. all this stuff i can buy in local supermarket in serbia
Off the shelf
18:56 supposed to cook the soup for 10m ...
Sounds like my kind of coffee diesel fuel lol
I like my coffee strong enough to pick a fight lol
Reminds me of CQ coffee...that stuff could make Christ jump off his cross. 😉
i love some strong coffee too its my cup of joe
That MRE is fake. The box is original, but not the contents.
Where was the cutlery or accessory pack? Crazy amount of food.
It is not actually pomegranate it is rosehip (fruit of the wild roses), problem is that the same name is used for both pomegranate and rosehip in the Croatian language.
I see significant improvements since the 90s, the worst was with "bolognese" cold, it is not good and reheated even less!!! and the rest were ok
A big weekend ration boy, just what I needed, I´m hungry Nathan :) :)
20:02 normal types taste way better, also used to be about 200 times tastier 10y ago
Was the package covered with darkgreen vacuumed foil when you recieved it?
If not then I have suspicion that this might be "fanmade" MRE from someones home in Croatia.
Then again I might be wrong but it is kinda strange to me to see a lot more food than in previous Croatian MRE I saw.
Don't get me wrong I dont want to accuse anyone of anything.
Btw im happy to see that you like most of food and drink :)
I would take some of that chocolate condensed milk in the coffee with some creamer and then maybe some of that on one of the biscuits or maybe add the jam with it
the bacon is called "hamburger bacon"..it's a bacon from Hamburg
20:23 supposed to eat it with bread
That's a MEGA PINT of soup
Tuc crackers are addictive. Like you eat one and you just can't stop after that.
Definitely "inneresting"

While this could be seen as an improved Croatian MRE, this was made by someone with some of our Croatian products, our military MRE's come in a green heavy plastic bag and are definitely not writen over with a pencil or dates scribed out. I've been in the system not that while back and this stuff is not the real deal.
Bravo care, samo budale koje nisu bile u vojsci, mogu misliti da je ovo "cso" a takvih je pun net 😂😂😂
ovo je cso za vatrogasce i policiju.
8:34 that thing lasts 1000 of years opened
Not sure it you'll see this but I sent you a message on FB about this ration that you should check out
20:20 normal ones taste way better, also used to be about 180 times tastier 10y ago and about 500 times 15y ago
I was looking at this and it looks like everyone else came to the same conclusion? A regular military ration would have had an accessory pack, matches, a heater or something? Toilet paper? This looks like someone went and got things abd boxed them up? Interesting package, though?
To explain quickly Real Croat MRE uses all of this stuff that's in the box but in special containers(all this that he eats is basically store bought packing) and mostly not all together like here, I haven't been in croatia for a long time so i don't know how much has changed but probably not much. my uncle drives a van for the military and he used ti bring me MREs weekly. haven't had one for 5 to 6 years.
Good luck to you you need it
Do Norwegians eat their couscous wet like that?
Many chocolate, toffy, candy and coffee in croatian MRE.
