  • We open Menu # 12 of the Cold Weather MREs. Join me as we see how freeze dried eggs and sausage taste. We also try Patriotic Cookies, Jalapeño Cheese Spread, Strawberries & Cream Oatmeal, and Chocolate Protein Drink & Coffee. It's one of my TOP 5 MREs, for sure.

    I've had that MCW, and I agree with you. It's REALLY good!
    I always avoided any FD ration with scrambled eggs in it, thinking they would be rubbery, but I ended up trying that menu, and now I'm always looking out for them.
    They are usually the first menus to go when anyone is selling MCW, so I don't get the breakfast ones very often, but I've tried them all and there isn't one that's not great imo.
    Just one tiny suggestion, with the protein drinks, you really have to shake them for at least a minute to get them to mix. They won't mix if you just add water and let them sit.
    Great review again :)

    • @MeAncient
      @MeAncient  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Christine, I agree about the shaking. Ace suggested using hot water, shaking vigorously, and then letting it cool for a better blend. TFW, as always.

    If you ever consider doing merch, a Ms. Piggy MRE Cat t-shirt would be hilarious and awesome. Some other ideas, free of charge of course, would be a Lets Get After It t-shirt (I find myself using that phrase quite often now), and Me Ancient branded P-38's. I'd buy all three, but any merch would be awesome, I'd love to be able to represent and support the channel. Another great video, Gentleman.

  • @eriklarson2183
    @eriklarson2183 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    From my experience you have to shake the double H E hockey sticks out of the protein drinks to get them smooth and a little more water always worked best. That and the scramble always required a little more water and to sit for 5 more minutes than what they said. I would lay the scramble packet on top of the tortilla's to heat help them, the cheese on top of the scramble and cover it all with my balaclava to hold in the heat. All hot and worked out great.. My fav breakfast meal. Also the oatmeal was rockstar and I would split the sugar between that and the coffee. Having some sweetness in both worked great. A couple bites of oatmeal and then some sips of coffee both being semi sweet worked out great..

    Hey guys, happy 2023!! What an impressive breakfast MRE. It's surprising that everything looked so appetizing. Usually, there's at least one component of the MRE, that doesn't measure up, but, this one looks like it all came out great. I don't remember ever seeing you, Me Ancient, use the entire bottle of Tabasco sauce before. A great idea with the soft tortillas. I wasn't hungry, until I watched this! LOL! Great video, looking forward to more, hope the rest of the MRE's, are as good as this one. God bless.

    Great video, and also that is a nice MRE, would hit the spot in a cold Winter day. Just a suggestion, some guys here put the protein drink in a bottle, even a simple water bottle, and shake it real good, that way you will have a nice smooth drink, this also works with the powdered drinks and some soluble teas you will find in about almost every European MRE - The Portuguese and Spanish ones usually have a nice strong coffee instead of tea.

    I don't know how the military stuff is but, when Mountain House started making freeze dried stuff, they put a 10-year shelf life on it because they had no idea how long it was going to last. As time went on, they tested the things they had put up in the past to see how it was doing and after a few years they increased the shelf life from 10 to 30 years.

    @NewHampshireJack ปีที่แล้ว

    OH YEAH, I could dive on this meal. Freeze-dried is absolutely the way to go for the long-term storage of healthy food. Cost is the issue. Honestly, I believe our personnel deserves food of this quality for every meal they consume. The downside is eating a freeze-dried meal that has not been reconstituted is problematic. Some foods you can chew up with a lot of water, some not so much. The research facilities that plan and create MREs want long-term storage but, unfortunately, wet food requires a lot of preservatives to be shelf stable and that is not so healthy. The addition of nitrogen gas (to prevent oxidation) in the retort pouch helps but will never fully equal freeze-dried food for stability and quality. One advantage is that you can easily consume conventional MREs cold if you have to. Might not be the most pleasant thing in life but we all do what we have to do when the time comes.

    • @MeAncient
      @MeAncient  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yessir....I think scrambled eggs and fruits make the best reconstituted food when considering freeze dried. I've also tasted the seafood stew menu item.....it was delicious as well. Reconstituted just right. I had to leave it a little longer 'cause of the clams. TFW, Jack, as always.
