As an Italian I think that the taste may be the only logical reason that can lead the troops to not like this prototype ration. It has a very different preparation style from the usual canned food of standard rations, therefore it is also likely to have a very different flavour.
Maybe it was rejected due to having so many different vendors and outsourcing of food items. Aside from that, for the most part it looks delicious and kept a longer shelf life than expected.
Outsourcing the production of Italian food to non Italian companies is a problem (a political one first above all) here in Italy (the government here is very active against foreign companies copying our trademarked foods, I doubt it will be happy to serve Italian sounding food to the troops, and the troops tasting those prototype rations probably told the difference in taste and quality compared to the usual ones).
Idk love these MRE videos but steve1989 utube vids are so cool and has a crazy passion for MRE and givez each country proper vids and gives history of all rations..even ones 70 yrs old from diff militaries ..he will eat it if can ..lets get this out on a tray..nice..mmkay!!..great review btw love your channel
Might their complaints have been about serving size rather than flavor? Seems like it was really good, but the mains were kinda small. Great to see you back!
In 1991 during Desert Storm we had mre bread singles in addition to mre's - was similar to wonderbread. Anyone know why it was discontinued? It was a wonderful addition especially w ham patty and some cheese!
Seems a much better design than the current ration, at least significantly smaller. But I do like the cans of the OG version. Kinda surprised no toothbrush. If ai recall you get 3 in the box version.
BEST BEFORE date and EXPIRATION date are two different things. Best Before means for optimal flavor and texture consume on or before the date of the package. Expiration date means that the product will begin to spoil soon.
Nate I am sure glad you were able to come back. Then other MRE presenters are good but you give the video a sole to make it worth trying. By the way I got a couple of cases of the humanitarian rations and they are good! I just noticed at half way through the video. There are NO MRE heaters so everything is going to be eaten cold. I guess that is OK if it is warm but that part of the world gets pretty cold and it would have been nice - save for adding hot water - to be able to have a hot meal
The 9" reggimento d'assalto paracadutisti Col Moschin is the italian army tier 1 special force. I think the italian soldiers didn't like since the main dishes are too dry, even if You add boling water it doesn't taste as goid as the ones in the cans. Theere is no need of boling water for the pasta with sauce or minestrone ... they can be eaten also cold. Instead these ones are too much dry, adding cold water doesn't blend with the sauce.
Truly World shocking. Darn it Man, take a heaping spoonfull of that Food ! IMO, the Forks & Tooth Picks aren't needed; and there's perhaps too many Beverage Powders.
It doesn't look an italian militayr ration and I never see it... Orifo is not even italian, it is danish! In the italian rations there is no "pane" (bread) but only crackers (in italian "gallette"). Another thing that I don't understand is why there are 2 plates of pasta for dinner... in Italy, for dinner, people never eat pasta, so I don't understand why they put two plates of pasta for dinner! If you look at who produces the pasta it is an English company... this is not italian food! Usually in the italian army there is a stove and the stuff to heat up the food and I haven't seen it in this ration. Others important elements in the italian ration is the canned meat and the toothbrush (and obviously the toothpaste too) but they are absent here! One last thing, Italian rations are famous because they are three boxes contained in a large envelope, but these rations are made differently. I think this ration is not for the italian soldiers, probably it is for the civilians.
Let's start by opening the moist towelette (???) and then we will get some utensils that don't come with the ration and then we prepare a drink from the ration the way it is not intended... uhh... okay bro
So glad you brought the channel back Nathan

I really dont mind the longer videos to be honest its just real nice to see you back again
Thanks for another great video Nathan. I'm so happy you decided to come back
Thank you for coming back. Y'all have the best MRE channel.
I feel like I'm cheating on Steve by watching this 😂😂😂
Steve would have ate every bit of it lol
Missed you brother! Hope all is well with you and yours! Looking forward to more awesome informative reviews from ya Nate!

I hope you’re making more money from TH-cam. They doubled up the commercials.
Getting close to Christmas they do that
At 3:59 did you pull out something from the box? Because I didn't see anything...
I like this format, thanks.
dinner = Chay-Nah = cena
What is the knife used here to open the box?
Some of the guys I served with in the US Navy didn't like goat meat. But I did.
Another great video. Cheers Nathan!
What was the name of the other mre supplier that you used
Might their complaints have been about serving size rather than flavor? Seems like it was really good, but the mains were kinda small. Great to see you back!
Look big to me with lots of extras
If it is that good , you should eat the whole thing.
Great to see you back brother

I like the long videos. Don't apologize for them
Where i can buy it?
When you tried that lemon drink. I was waiting to hear That tasted like hell. But we didn't. As always Nathan great video.
Great comparison, so similar yet so different at the same time.
Let's get it Nathan! Keep em comin!
With them intended to be sent to the sandbox and knowing the temps all over the place I bet is the reason for the short shelf life.
I'm a Missourian. Car-Mel 😂
Great video Nathan. I think MRE mountain is a great company.
It didn't belong to Tony. It was supposed to be shipped to NY 🤣
Honestly I am surprised the Italians didn't pack a sachet of dehydrated wine in there.
I would eat all those mains
It all looked delicious, don't have a clue why they didn't like it
Cost, ease of use, weight…. All likely not worth it.
You ought to slap a google translate on those main entree names.
Eeee-light lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks great
Awesome!
Pasta, pasta, pasta. Oh, what else did I expect from Italians
I'm shocked. Glad your back Nathan.
You lied on the description. It is clickbait to bring us back to clicking on your notifications lol. Welcome back brother
Seems a much better design than the current ration, at least significantly smaller. But I do like the cans of the OG version. Kinda surprised no toothbrush. If ai recall you get 3 in the box version.
this looks so much better then the current Italian ration. Way better.
Just in time for my evening coffee!
"Tony" is an excellent song by The Pixies.
Yahoooo! I really missed you and your channel. Christmas is early...

At 9.12 Pasta Conchiglie con Verdure it had a Danish or Norwegian language on it, maybe it where produced in that country?

Thank you David, i appreciate you watching
Did I hear you pronounce that as "e-light"? 😅
I thought Italian rations come with cordial liquor, that’s what made is special imo, best to save them all up for the weekend i imagine
I LOVE THIS AMAZING CHANNEL THINK YOU SO MUCH
French earl grey tea has rose petals added.

I bet the energy tabs are nothing but a glucose tab with some flavoring
Love MRE mountain. Good people
No booze? Dego rations in the 1980's had a small airline type bottle of sweet liqueur in the Breakfast pack.
yummie.
I am so happy this channle is back
Looks very promising!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yea. Casey and mre mountain to the rescue. Quite a difference from the old style of Italian ration
Are you sure? I could've sworn you're Eye-Tallyun.
boliente = boiling
bottle for boiling water
Nice.
Truly World shocking.
Darn it Man, take a heaping spoonfull of that Food !
IMO, the Forks & Tooth Picks aren't needed; and there's perhaps too many Beverage Powders.
if you don't find cordiale or grappa I don't recognize the italian mre
European food standards are different from American
Why have short life spans
You did try the coffee
Wow that's alotta ciao.
Funny that som of the text is in Danish... :D
It looks like it's almost all carbs
I have to admit that our MREs look like the classic lunches prepared by our Italian grandmothers, extremely abundant 🤣🤣🤣
You had cold meat??

I don't think this MRE shocked the world, click bait = Dislike
"Menu"...is French
Shocked the World?? eyeroll max

Let's start by opening the moist towelette (???) and then we will get some utensils that don't come with the ration and then we prepare a drink from the ration the way it is not intended... uhh... okay bro
SO if you don't like it don't watch it and don't complain! I enjoyed the video!
@@remjax1 don't tell me what to do, broseph. The comment section is not just for accolades.
Just additional info:

Would like to see MRE from North korean and China or vietnam. Curious 1:19 f to see which is the best
