We Greeks are used to large portions actually! Greek grandmas tend to feed us a lot! Like a lot a lot! Also we put tomato and oregano almost on everything!
I like you already.

when you purify water be sure to turn the canteen upside down & let some water seep out all the way around the lid - kills any germs hiding in the threads.....
Ooo...pro tip.
Merle Morrison, yes, excellent tip!
very interesting! Also love these videos!
Huh...I never would've thought of that. Smart!
I wouldn't have even considered that! Brilliant tip Merle!
I know this is an old video, but I absolutely love how Emmy doesn't try to filter/cut her videos to hide every silly mistake or moment where she spills the food or something. Like 11:28 is really adorable, and it makes her relatable. I think these moments are really why so many of us enjoy her videos so much.

Emmy, the green bean stew is a traditional Greek dish called fasolakia. The green beans are supposed to be soft, although of course the homemade freshly-cooked version is much tastier than the canned one. This is served as a main dish, although it often also contains pieces of potato, and, if cooked during a non-fasting period, may also contain pieces of meat. Just to put some perspective on the crunchy vs soft green beans issue, the first time I tried crunchy green beans I was taken by surprise, although now I have grown to appreciate them. To a Greek, crunchy green beans would seem undercooked, since we traditionally cook them until soft.
Ah...I see.💡 Interesting, thanks so much for sharing.
Haha we call that dish fasolia in Egypt 😂
Yeap we eat them vegetables like that but in better quality of course
Cool! We also have this dish in Turkey. We have two versions; vegetarian, which is cooked with olive oil, and it is usually eaten cold. As well as the meat version, usually made with minced meat, and we can add potatoes too. I was wondering; do eat the green beans (without meat) cold too? I was kind of dying inside when Emmy heat it up :D
Thank you so much for making this point! I’d kill for some fasolakia, maybe not from a can, though. This is a dish that has as many versions as homes but yes, always “mushy”! :)
Yes all three cans contain food that is actually "traditional" in Greek cuisine. And yes all the meat is beef. You can buy these specific cans in supermarkets. Not expensive at all. Quality wise this company is one of the biggest in Greece. (now the army has to request portable feta rations to go with all these meals 😜)
So cool - thanks for the additional information.
Compared to the horrible Army food we got in mess hall, those MREs were delicious. Unfortunately we only had them once.

Feta is life, so not surprised
@betatalk357 στρατός και φαγητό δεν πάνε πολύ καλά. Ειδικά με τον Γκοτζίλα δεν βελτιώνεται το πραγμα
Oh my God! My uncle used to work for the ZANAE company that produces these cans so I ve actually tried some of these cans. Not too bad considering it is canned food. Greetings from Greece! Love your videos!
Greece is always about simplicity and importance
True!!!! We keep it simple and traditional. Plus we are conservative when it comes to food choices.

You have to remember a soldier ,tired and hungry under combat conditions would find a meal like this filling and a huge moral booster as well as replenishing their energy reserves .
All military M.R.E's should be relatively simple yet filling. Each member out and about is burning calories like crazy and needs good, solid fuel. Somewhat bland and hot will fill the bill for most. When you're out in the rain and mud, wich the Mediterranean region has plenty of you want simple, hot, and quick food to fill that hole inside of you.
As an Greek Army brat i grew up eating these rations! And dad used to give me the napkins to have them in school and now as 20 year old that video reminded me of my childhood! ah! Great video though! Although you could have added some salt and black pepper in the foods and they would have been pretty great!
For the non-Greeks, the packaging reads, in Greek: "green beans [in oil]," "beef with peas" and "beef with dried beans."
All of these are what we call "λαδερά" in Greek, the word I haphazardly translate as [in oil], which involves stewing vegetables, often with meat, in a sauce that is primarily made out of olive oil and water, plus fresh tomatoes (or paste in the industry), onions and some additional stuff for flavour. They all have this notably orange colour to them from stewing fresh tomato in oil.
bravo vlk
"fresh" lol
I really like the okra that comes canned that way :)
@@Halum11
If you do it at home, yes, it would be fresh; as I wrote in my parenthetical note: "(or paste in the industry)".

Emmy, you are the mother of every single one of your fans lol, you are very kind, forgiving, funny, and just yourself! Plus energetic about anything you'll be trying. Very open! Something we all need as a mother figure.
So basically what I'm trying to say is, thank you for brightening our lives!
For my military service I volunteered for the Greek Special Forces and the box with everything inside is quite accurate. Our unit had stocked up all these items, but due to economic reasons whenever we had training hours (or days) outside the unit, we were advised to go buy these stuff at the local supermarkets, they were not given to us except the unlabeled meat can which was horrible and no one wanted. We called that Godzilla because the meat was probably from the age of the dinosaurs. All the rest of the canned material is typical Greek canned food for holiday campers, very easy to find, there are also more tasty options like laxanontolmades or tomato meatballs all under the same brand. The crackers were also given for breakfast. Generally the Special Forces diet was very well balanced, with generous portions, only thing to be afraid of was bad chefs.
Seeing this in 2022... So what is the breakfast component here besides crackers? No grain or muesli? No jam or peanut butter? Do you eat the green beans for breakfast?
@@LymanPhillips The concept of breakfast in time of war is I would say, non existent. Remember, this is a 24h indicative survival ration kit. To address your question, a typical special forces breakfast included coffee, tea, milk with cerial, bread with butter, jams, honey, nutella to choose from and in the weekends occasionally pancakes. Rarely you would find also omellete.
Emmy, thanks for not editing out the random phone call, lol. It adds to the sense of just sitting there hanging out with you in your kitchen. Much love! ❤️😀
I LOVE THAT YOU DO THESE!!!! i share your curiosity. 😂😂😂
Emmy, I have loved and followed you since the Japan days. I appreciate your lovely quirkiness and human-ness. You are a wordsmith and a delight!
Aww, Camille. Thank you. 💕

Enjoy Greek "mystery meat" :D . Rumors say it is made out of Godzilla meat.

She always makes me feel better when I feel down.
I could hear my mother yelling from my childhood "Never heat a closed can!".
I can hear my mother yelling "Don't be a lazy ass! Use a sauce pan!".
"But Mom! The Japanese military said it was okay!" Ref. the Japanese canned rations.
Yes!!
I'm thinking that the fact that she boiled the 2 cans instead of using the heater is the reason why the food tasted more like the can.
lil chris tuten even if she used the stove it would still be cooked in the can...
In Europe, those are actually considered tissues to blow your nose, not napkins (when I first visited the US I was very confused by the flimsy thin and small tissues you had there too).
Packets just like that have been the standard form to sell and buy tissues here for a long time (of course you buy them in bulk - around 20-30 such packets per package) - easy to carry around with you in a pocket or purse and resealable as you pointed out.
In recent years, boxes of tissues have become more popular too for use in homes, but that's a comparably new development.
There is always a kid in school with those to share when you catch a cold
@@jaggeriscoughmedicine that's me 😂😂😭😪
Actually those are napkins to use after food or 💩in your imagination you might call them whatever you want 😂
You can also buy only one pack, in Greece you usually buy just one pack from the "περίπτερο", basically a kiosk that sells cigarettes, ice cream, gum, newspapers, chips and all that kind of stuff.
Can confirm! In Finland we generally call them "nessu" after a popular brand, and it literally means a single-use paper specifically for blowing your nose... I had no idea there are countires which don't have this type of tissues... :D It's so so so common in the EU
My uncle is Greek and his church hosts a Greek festival every year, and I've volunteered for them for the past two years, but there's this one dish that I can never get my hands on because it always runs out. It's called spanakopita, I believe, and it's a spinach and cheese pie. Maybe this year...
Oh, spanakopita is the best, hopefully you do get some.
I’m mainly here for the ASMR when she esta crunchy foods 😂 for real though, I love these MRE/rations videos! Growing up with a military dad, I learned as a kid what these were and I always thought it sounded disgusting. I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality of some of the meals. Way better than I imagined!
When you make those string beans fresh they taste amazing, I just made them yesterday, tomatoes, onions and garlic, and tons of olive oil.
Spiral Breeze yes yes 100x yes.. one of my fav dishes my Yiayia makes... Fresh is amazing
@@sterryx4790 i agree, my yiayia makes that as well and it's so good!

If it has a lot of oil its greek! We love you Emmy!! Σ' αγαπάμε Emmy!!
Here in Tennessee we cook canned green beans all day.
Put some hamhock (or bacon or ham) in the pot, water canned green beans (we do 4 cans) and a bunch of tiny potatoes(or 1 can of potatoes if you don't have fresh ones)
Bunch of salt and pepper and cook it for several hours, like 4-5 hours (don't let the water all boil out, refill with more water if needed...but if you do add little bit more salt if it tastes watery)
Eat it with cornbread and it's a great dinner that feeds a lot of people.
Yup, Greeks can eat them with a side of polenta or Greek corn bread (not as sweet and more rugged in texture), and can be cooked with pork too, not just beef
No, Emmy, the green beans are not overcooked as part of the canning process. In the Greek cuisine vegetables are indeed cooked until very, very tender. The very opposite of the Asian approach to cooking vegetables.
Another effect of slowly cooking for a very long time is that the aromas of the herbs and spices used (olive oil, lemon, garlic, onion and fresh as well as dried Mediterranean herbs) are completely absorbed by the product - meat, vegetables, noodles, rice, whatever.
However, we like them this way and fact is that they are much easier to digest this way. On the downside of course most of the non heat resistant vitamins are annihilated.
In the Greek diet that is not a problem however, because it includes lots of fresh vegetables in divers forms of salad as well as fresh fruit as dessert.
I didn't know about the Greek style of cooking green beans but I knew that just canning green beans would not make them that soft. In the American South we have a green bean dish that is slow cooked with tomatoes, onions and sometimes bacon and it is just called southern-style. As a westerner I was horrified when I first heard about them but then I tried them. Yummy! I had suspected this was a similar dish.
Emy.. your videos makes my day a lil brighter., my mom died 9 mths ago and it has been a tough 9 months for me and my mental state., most of the time I am depressed and just want to cry, I have a toddler turning 2, and he needs me to be his mom., you dont know how much your videos helped me a lot., you are a breath of fresh air.. please do not stop making videos.

"Itadakimasu" on Closed Captions says "at the ducky mouth" xD 7:55
Brodie I always keep captions on and can’t help but laugh at some of the things the captions will say sometimes. Must be super hard for someone who’s hearing impaired to understand what’s actually being said.
Lmao 😂
I heard a Japanese language teaching video (from Japan) suggest trying to remember that word by thinking of the phrase "eat a duck and mouse." ;-)
xnonsuchx that's clever!

Oh :o I wish some day you can taste them in a restaurant. Some cans are nice, I don't know the brand that was inside the ration, it's probably military only brand. Love you Emmy
Ahri actually you can find this brand in supermarkets as well, though never this kind of canned full meals. You can definitely find their dolma cans almost everywhere 😃

Those are normal sized portions by the way - for a Greek at least. 😛

I have found that if you need to use a chlorine type water purifier, if you can leave the water open overnight, most of the chlorine will evaporate by morning, and be much more palatable. I realize in many situations this wouldn't be possible, but it's a nice thing to know if you're able to do it.
Sometimes our local county water is extra-chlorinated, I often fill a wide-mouth gallon jug, and put a thin cloth over the top to keep bugs and dust out. (I buy cheap nylon knee-high stockings to keep on hand for this type of thing, they stretch nicely over the opening and don't need a rubber band) The water is so much better the next day.
A charcoal filter would probably fix your water. When I used one, it took out all of the chemical taste.
Gihren Zabi, I might get one. There's a Pur water filter attachment for kitchen faucets, I might try one of those, too.
I love Greece I love MRES and I. Love you! Perfect combination!
Emmy goes to Greece!! Never seen a Greek ration. Didn't look bad at all.
I'd eat the hell out of it tbh
Many other (mostly specific) NATO prefered them and would excange some for far more pricey stuff for some cans. Too bad there was no canned cheese shown. Tasty tbh but enough calories (fat) to raise two cows and salt to kill one more xD.
No background noises, and her voice is really really relaxing, I love everything about this video

I've been waiting so long for this mre💕greetings from greece
This girl makes great videos out of a boring subject .... military rations! So cute, pleasant personality.
When I joined Greek Special Forces I was enlisted in paratroopers so an elite unit like that had probably much better food than other units .. So first time I saw the MRE I said “Boy I don’t even touch it “ but after all that in a training session lasted 1,5 week only with combat equipment I didn’t only ate that MRE but I also loved it 😂😂😂😂
well tbh asfar as I remember this was also the normal army ration box. Maybe one less can? Other than that there was supposed tobe a vitamins tablet but she didnt found one.
My dad was in the Infantry Army and i grew up eating this MRE rations and i loved them too!
Παμε ρε γκοτζιλα παπαπαπ
My father told me they ate only fakes in the military
Now i see how he gained weight when he came back from the military

Oh man now i want fasolakia. The green beans are meant to be cooked until soft. A really tasty meal with soft bread to dip in the oily stew. Highly recommend trying a home cooked version instead of a tin. As you say, the acidity from the tomato and that little bit of onion, usually with some potatoes, makes it delish

Oh my god the memories... had a lot of those back in my SF days in Greece.
They also used to contain a sachet of dried milk (flakes) but they removed them because snakes on rock islands and mountains were drawn to the milk scent at night when we were sleeping, eventually curling in the warm sleeping bag (non poisonous!)
A difference I noticed is that the biscuits ("galeta" they are called) were 4 and quite big (rather than a pack of 6 smaller ones) and the pack also contained a tin of processed cheese.
Emmy, you can find these cans at Greek supermarkets. The company which makes them is one of the most famous Greek can companies with a big history. It's nice to think that Greek Army made a deal with a Greek company and not a foreign company 😊
Reminds me those cold nights we had on the mountains of Crete eating all these...Ah, so many memories in the Special Forces!
Ended up watching one video of emmy last night having never watched her before. Not even 24hr later and I'm hooked. Love her.
Greetings from Greece Emmy!!!
Thank you now I don't have to eat alone
🙌
Night Star I can't watch her while I'm eating because I'll eat so much more. So I watch her before dinner. 😏
Lala Booboo yes she does make me hungry lol
I’ve been watching Emmy for a few years now and I still don’t know if she likes something or not based on her expression
I've noticed she likes things about 90% of the time. It seems like she'll eat almost anything.
She’ll normally say Not my Favorite when she doesn’t like something
The canned cheese burgers are a good example of such a moment.

There are is a variety of menus in Greek Army's rations including yellow cheese ,meetballs in red sauce ,green beans ,dry beans,chocolate and luncheon meat such as pork or chicken.
The 4B ration is the most common ration in the army and is used in drills.There is the 4A as well but its very rare and including a pack of cigarretes and chocolate bar.
Untill 1996 -97 luncheon meet was a small tin imported from Argentina as well as the yellow cheese Untill 2005, I think ,biscuits where bigger in shape and six included in every ration pack.
green beans in Greece are made just like this. they are soft and we put a lot of oil.
I'm from Greece and that looks so good. I need that in my bunker lol.
Generous amount of contents, great package. 👍
Late to the game but did your can heating up outside blow up?
You should crack the lid of any can being heated over a flame to prevent it from blowing up or squirting out scalding liquid when you pop the top.
You could place a small dish towel over the can before popping the lid to prevent getting squirted if heated too much.
I’m proud to be Greek ☺️🇬🇷 Thank you for this, Emmy.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that says “I don’t know you!” when a random person calls me. 😅

Great video ! You should try food from Cyprus as well 🇨🇾
I hope Emmy tastes more Greek food!
Never get tired of the Mhmm hahaha
I have only been watching your videos for about a month, but I am really enjoying them. 👍
With rations, you need to crush up the crackers/biscuits and add them to the dish to soak up the liquid. Best to add little by little as you eat so they are just starting to get soft but still some crunch.
Emmy why didn't you take my call? 😢😢😢
I love your videos.and commented many times
The greek ration might seem "poor" compared to other countries But the portions are big!
Something i would like to mention is that there used to be also Canned Cheese in there !!! But its missing..! Greetings from Greece
Congratulations Emmy for yet another great video. Very good presentation.
Since I have eaten both Greek and American MREs, and tried some other NATO during joined exercises, I can assure you that the Greek MREs are not only very delicious, but also much healthier than most others. All meals are Real UNPROCESSED food, not some preserved mixture warmed up in a plastic bag with same taste. Just a tip, we crack open the lid a little for warming. The company ZANAE makes exactly those meals for the civilian market, and everyone can get those same foods in a supermarket. I can even find them in international food supermarkets here in the USA.
Now, IF they could package a fresh Greek village salad with feta cheese, and a souvlaki hot off the grill, it would be the most delicious food, but I guess these both can be enjoyed only fresh.
I sometimes just tune in to hear Emmi say " Hello my beautiful lovelies".
Especially if I'm feeling a bit down.
I love that part!!
“absolutely lit”
“Hardtack ocarina, for the win!” :P
Its soooooooo funny to see such a sweet person to eat the food that our army guys try to avoid so much!
why do so many TV shows always have pristine cookie sheets, pots and pans...I am glad Emmy showed how regular people's cookie sheets look!
I posted that today and thanked her in my way why she did that..so many cooking shows all have such pristine cooking implements like you mentioned!
I've become addicted to your cuteness and now I have to watch Emmy every day to relax.
My husband is from Florence Colorado! 😂 Nothing there but prisons and antique stores. 🤷🏼♀️

What a lovely combination of attractions! Perfect for people with LOTS of time to kill.
Which one is he? Lol
Im just from Colorado 😂 so i was like “omg” when she said it
That's what I was about to say. Wonder if the prisoners are working as telemarketers?
Emmy why did ya hang up on me whaaaaaaaaaaaaa! LoL
The funny fact is that in the Greek army that meat is called Godzilla!!! for obvious reasons I suppose :)
Thank you for always cheering me up when I watch your videos, Emmy. 💚
So fun to watch!! I can not drink coffee with sugar and no creamer. I have mine with collagen, MCT oil, 1/4 t of karrygold salt less butter! Emulsify and yum!
But, instant without cream can’t use sugar. 😁 ☕️ ❤️
I'm curious, but should you have opened the lid just a touch so you don't suffer from exploded can? Just saying I've seen it happen.
Rob from Oregon
Robert D, I thought the same thing. But since it didn't get really hot, just warm, it probably wasn't much of a risk. (I know Emmy's done this before) Still, she could get some fuel tabs that get unexpectedly hot, so cracking the seal on the can before heating would be a good idea. Never hurts to be cautious.
😂 looks all Greek to me. Meals looked pretty good to eat. You should buy a pair of the silicone mitts for handling the hot canned item. I use mine when I handle hot items that are wet like boiled potatoes.
You know whats funny? im Greek and my bf is American/Chinese so when he used the "Sounds Greek to me" sentence i was confused as heck until he explained what it means, but here in Greece we say "This all sounds Chinese to me" and it has the same meaning!
All GREEKS REUNITE ALL SHALL CAWER
These biscuits was amazing..Still remember their taste
As reserve sargeant of helleic army, this mre box used to contain also, yellow caned cheese, like long life gouda, black bitter chokolate bar, powder milk.The tablets are for water purification.
when im hungry i tourture my soul with her eating delicious stuff like this
