THE NEWEST German Military Ration STEAK And Green Beans MRE REVIEW
I'm just gonna say it, the middle column was in English and the reason why German and English seem so similar is both are derived from the same root language. The grammar is totally different but the vocabulary is very similar.
Yeah they all from the Proto-Germanic language
This was not a steak but a Hacksteak. That is the closest german word for a hamburger (not the sandwich, only the meat). So yeah, those are basically mini hamburger patties. Usually it is made of pork or a mix of pork and beef.
It is actually called a "Hamburger Steak" or "Steak Hamburger Art". If you see these names on a restaurant menu, this is what you get.
Ich liebe Eure Frikadellen so sehr...
Oh man...how times changed. Left the German army in 2001, have fond memories of the EPA out in the field. Sad to see they got rid of the original Hartkekse or "Panzerkekse". The dark chocolate was a Highlight too.
That lentil soup with the small sausages I know from my German Air Force - times ( 1989 ... 2001 ) . Unchanged. The manufacturer is 20 km from here in Lübeck. Very famous for its pea soup " Hubertus " .. This pate`- things also haven`t changed. Jam, drinks - all very comon here, can get in every supermarket. Same package, different labeling. The Soup with the little hambugers - nice addition. Will have a look for it , would be comercialy availiable somewhere I guess.
Yes Panzerkekse with Leberwurst was the best seems they cheaped out on that.
Thank you Nathan and Amanda. I have had real German food from a local resturaunt. The food was wonderful.
Contents sheet: Has english translation
You guys: LET'S TRANSLATE THIS WITH OUR PHONE!
I can totally agree with these ranking: 1. French 2. Norwegian 3. German ration!
Fun fact : i am german army reserve soldier and i haven‘t seen one of the new ones. The changes looks good .
Thank you for the video
Greetings from Germany. ;-) You find a lot of them on eBay. There is a massiv quality change from the old style EPA with the square "cans" for the mains over the rectangle cans made by Busse and now the meals from Erasco.
The mains from the French RCIR are good. That is true, but I don´t like the fruit, nugat, energy bars from them. And they provide less drinks.
The Advantage of the norwegian is, that they have the dry mains. When you make them, they taste fresher then the wet meals. So every MRE has advantages and disadvantages. But most of them are better then the US MRE with this AI taste, suggar and Beef everywere
@@nielskoester4065 . Stimme dir zu. Ist ja nur meine subjektive Meinung.
Ich hatte mal so ein MRE Bohnen-was-auch-immer... da ist mir fast schlecht geworden. Ein Bissen und der Rest für die Mülltonne.
I totally agree. That is my opinion, not more.
@@jorgschimmer8213 Essen ist immer Geschmackssache. Ich probiere ja MRE´s weil es auch immer ein kleiner Spiegel zu den jeweiligen Ländern ist, was für Geschmäcker man dort hat und lokale Eigenheiten. Die Franzosen trinken gerne Wasser pur, daher haben sie wohl weniger Getränkepulver. Wir Deutsche haben das Brot und die USA dieses Maple Aroma. Das mag ich nun nicht so doll. //
Food is always a matter of taste. I try MREs because it is always a small mirror to the respective countries, what tastes one has there and local peculiarities. The French like to drink pure water, so they probably have fewer powdered drinks. We Germans have bread, and the USA have this maple flavour. I don't like that very much.
The bread is a classic Danish and German type of bread, give it time and you will love it, yes even Amanda. Trust me on this. But it needs pairing with very strong flavours, or excessive amounts of smoked fish or pate's, thats for sure.....
Erasco is a big German “canned soup company” 😃
Love how they use Google translate on the English contents list 👌
German rations, awesome. I think everything looked good in this one. Hope you can get more of these.
Thanks for sharing.
the Bread is called "Pumpernickel" and very healthy
Pumpernickel is darker…..this is rye bread (Roggenschrotbrot) 😉
@@eslSlightz However is perfect not to get a diarhea in the fields with the tuna or sausage. You even can put it into the meals to got full
You can always do each meal and review it that way and shoot it on separate days and either do one video or 3 separate ones.
This...👆 a little bit of editing and it would be fine.
Yeah, first time viewing these guys and thought the same thing. Rushed through everything taking only a couple bites, everything just kind of blended together. Eat the dang ration like someone who’s actually hungry and doesn’t have the luxury of turning up nose or wasting portions.
28:27
That’s projection! 😆
Normally we don’t put sausage and fruit jam on a cracker together! 😝
Yes indeed...lots of Europeans do that, I found that to be a bit of a grasp...Europe is a big place with lots of regional variation even within individual countries.
@@derekmcmanus8615 While there are some European traditions of serving fruit jams with meats, it's not really the same jam you would use for PB&J, more like cranberry sauce type of deal.
In Poland we have 3 main types:
- cranberry and lingonberry jams for meats
- baked apples/pears, often together with cranberries (mostly for duck or goose etc.)
- dried fruits (prunes, apricots etc.) for pork and poultry, sometimes beef.
I'm sure there are some regional examples I'm forgetting right now, but those are the most popular examples
@@MikrySoft
Fruit jam with cream cheese tastes good tho 😋
When you have to Google translate from English to English and your paper towel comes with an Iron Cross you known the Germans have invaded.
In German we say: "Ohne Mampf kein Kampf!" witch rougly translates to: "No chow, no (going over the top and conquering half of europe) fighting"
and I think that's why our MRE's are looking like that.
I was stationed in Berlin from 1982- 84. The only time I had German rations while in was during a battalion alert training exercise to a German military training area near Helmstedt. They were the German hot rations/cafeteria food. From what I remember they were not very good compared to the barracks rations in Berlin.
In the last year I tried a couple of the bagged 24 hour German rations and thought they were okay but not anything special. I love the French rations and found myself pleasantly surprised by the Polish ones.
I was in during the transition from the C rats to the then new MRE's. We never had the heaters for the MRE's before I left the military. Dehydrated products in the winter time with no practical way to heat them or the water up for them, sucked in field conditions. You had to buy sterno or candles to heat your rations as best you could.
Honestly other then the dehydrated fruit I really didn't like the MRE's ( back then the MRE's were more like LRP's with dehydrated meats and stuff). I think I find myself biased to this day in favor of canned goods vs the pouches. I found the German, British and American rations today as uninspired basic military rations. Trust me if you are in the field a lot they will get boring quick. That means investing in bringing more of your own rations to the field and sacrificing certain items to carry them.
I forgot to add the Berlin street food was excellent as was most restaurant food.
Great review. What a great variety of food. And enjoy getting three different opinions. Enjoyed it!
German phrase: "Ohne Mampf kein Kampf". That roughly means: "no battle without a good meal"
Like Landsknecht's saying: "No wh*res, no wars!"?
Herz und Magen sind gute Kameraden - heart and stomach are good comrades
I love that bread for MREs. That meal looked great. Another great duo review.
Greatings from Germany The "Pepper" is a bread spread and it belongs on the bread ;-)
Did you notice that everything is in German, English and French?
The bread is for mini sandwich s with the tuna and meat and cheese jelly, . Good video. Imagine if the us could do something like those ( military size is the reason the Germans are able to have better MREs) as there are still cooked meals most us military can get on base .
As a German I feel pain watching how you eat it
As a german I feel pain watching him using a phone for translation of a sheet of paper where everything is written in german, french and ENGLISH.
Americans, what do you expect?
Historically, I am reminded of the old German WW2 rations which had the meat and cheese in tubes (like toothpaste) and the cans of meat labeled mysteriously AM. German troops, if I recall correctly, called the meat, "Alter Mann" or Old man. The cheese sauce, the canned chicken and beer sausage reminded me of those WW2 ancestors. But the beer sausage canned meat looked good and overall, this was an excellent review.
The best thing in ww2 German mre was the panzerschokolade
@@FredM8Beats Panzerschokolade with Methamphetamin today for ameircans Crystal Meth or Ice - so now we know why in US it is so an high consumption
AM was the italian rations (widely in use by the Germans in Africa though) with AM standing for Amministrazione Militare but commonly translated as Asino Morto, Asino Mussolini or, as you said, by the Germans Alter Mann
If you look at the size of German and Dutch troops you know why they have so much stuff in the 24 hour rations. I was literally the tallest allowed in the Dutch army with 6 foot 8. Back than German troops were only a little bit shorter than us. We have more biscuits than the Germans, haven't seen the new ones of either of our armies yet. I prefer the eighties rations we got during the nineties.
Love the review man, but...Bro, why you using translate for the contents when there is a center column in English?
German military has some good looking rations!
Love watching MRE videos when I eat lunch at work, took me 5 lunch breaks to finish this video thank you for awesome content!!
Love the channel. Been watching for a long time. Mostly binge watching. Liked it better as Nathan’s Mre Review.
remember what yoko ono did to the beatles
You don't need a translator app for the menu.
It's written in english right there in the middle column. :D
It is called REAL HEALTHY whole grain bread!
Don't understand why British and Germans eat pork sausages and beans for breakfast, that's not American...but it's a German ration review!
Glad you finally got round to mentioning that a lot of American foodstuffs are laced with huge amounts of corn syrup unlike European foodstuffs.
The pork sausages are supposed to be part of the lunch or dinner…..the breakfast part consists of bread/crackers, Muesli and fruit jam 😉
@@eslSlightz thanks for the information 👍
Sausage for breakfast - not common here. Bake rolls, fried- boiled,- scrambled egg, jam, Nutella, , buttered toast, cornflakes , muesli, salami, cheese, raw minced pork with onions and pepper on a sliced bake roll.
LOL -- the menu was English in the middle. It would have been easier to read without the phone.
Hi. Nice job. So happy to hear Amanda back. You all take care
That is lindt chocs. Very nice
Holy Moses that’s a ton of food.
One thing i don't get: You got a sheet of paper listing the contents. In German, French AND ENGLISH - and you use a translator app?
The problem with German EPAs, from a MRE enthusiast perspective, is that there just isn't anything special or weird in them. In American MREs you have all this weird high tech space food you won't find in a regular shop, but the German ones are just stuff you can get in pretty much any random European supermarket, with the one exception of the traditional hard biscuits, but apparently they have replaced them with new ones, which probably are more regular and generic too.
I get that some of the stuff is weird to Americans, but it really is just a bunch of regular consumer products thrown together in a cardboard box.
I heard Aldi is spreading in the USA and I guess their product line must be heavily Americanized, but if they still have some German stuff on the shelves, you ought to be able to get pretty much everything in this EPA there too and cheaper.
To me, living in Germany, even though I like to buy American and other MREs sometimes, from MRE Mountain, buying a EPA makes no sense, which is a shame.
After moving to the US I now see why yanks make such a fuss of MREs. Thing is, you CAN'T get anything like this in supermarkets if you want e.g. camping food.
About the only thing you'll find in a retort pouch is tuna, you choice is basically between cans, old school dehydrated, or MREs. It's somewhat irritating.
I am German but never did I see or hear that some one took jam on his bierwurst😖😖😖😖😖😉the utmost is Mettwurst on an sweet cracker
The best German MRE (EPA) was from the 1970s to 2000s
I like that translation app!
I do like a big gusset.
MRE romantic dinner for two. Maybe a new market for them.
Mix the yellow Pudding with the oatmeal(!?)
Did you mention how many calories are in the ration? That seems like more food than someone would eat in 24 hours.
Well, here some facts about the calories :
Each normal (shown in this video) EPA contains around 3800 cal.
The weight of it is approximately 1,6 kg.
But there are a few other kinds of EPa's
There is a EPA leicht (light) with 2200cal. and a weight of 1 kg.
The is like the lrp mre, freeze dryed components.
And the "big boy", the EPA arktisch
(cold weather) with approximately 5000 cal. ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻
how come no sausage or white sausages with kraut or potato meals; real GERMAN dishes?
Although I'm Dutch, so the Germans are my neighbours and I can tell you that most Germans eat, for example, the beer sausage on the bread, you definately don't eat it plain.
And.....NONONO! Of course you can eat this however you want, but Germans don't add processed cheese to a sausage stew....
German food is pretty good. I think I'd probably go with the smoky sausage bean.
Greetings from germany. first things first, we don't eat Bierwurst with Jam but if you say that it taste's good i'll give it a try. For your next german MRE, the muesli and dessert cream should be mixed with cold water. The funny thing is that the most germans don't eat this kind of bread and i absolutely don't know why tf it is in almost every MRE.
As far as i know the ,Kommisbrot' is used since second german empire.
Very entertaining to watch, but we would never combine sausage with jam. :)
VERBOTEN.
LIKED " Put your pinky out when you eat that, have some respect"
Yeah, it's kinda German, but it is an extremely Norwegian thing to do.... Have been doing this (28:00) since i was a kid in the 70's..... But to me MUK or bologna is a slice of heaven, created by God to gladen the hearths of men.....
Nerver tryd Müsli with water, it must have milk in ;)
I think it does contain milk powder…..if you add water, it tastes like milk 😉
You Americans would squeeze everything into your food too, wouldn't you? Pepper butter doesn't belong in a bean dish, there is no cheese in pepper butter (I don't know what kind of cheese you eat but it doesn't even smell like cheese!). There is no cheese in German MRE's, absolutely not.
Mate. There is Literally an English Column in the Middle lol
why no german cheese or white sausages?
I just cut the video 33% by watching at 1.5x speed
Solid ration. Actually looks good too. I need to be on the look out for one of these.
That lentil and sausage dish isn't too different from "beanie weenies", basically pork and beans with sliced hot dogs. Van Camp brand, popular when I was a kid in the south. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack. Good stuff.
i got cancer when u translated content sheet, since english is there ._.
You will live
@@NathansMRE perhaps, but i will never psychically recover from that
@@kamilmigas1490 That's fine buddy, maybe you better watch mister Bean the next time !!
The description insert is IN ENGLISH and you use the translator app... son... come on.
Ilike that German bread
The register of the German Bread Institute currently lists over 3000 different types of bread
This was definitely a fun video!
Awsome video great review. Just received one.
It was Benchwarmers not The Sandlot..
Needs to translate words like lemon and grapefruit ... sad
I see pork and potatoes is common in America, like in ham and grits, or and sausage and hash-browns.
Well done , nice video . best wishes .
These "Einmannpackung" should be for two days, that's why they are so massive. Good review overall, looks like the "new" rations have improved massively.
Pretty sure the EPa is a 24 hour ration
This sure beats the old MREs. There's enough food to keep going, for 3-4 days. If, you conservative it, right.
Nathan and Amanda 👋👋👋👋 hello from Deer Park, Washington.
I have had a dream for a video of a "fancy" dressed up kind of dinner party. The table is set nice ,people are dressed in their sunday best . The dinner is served and each person is given an MRE's for their meal!!!!
What would they think? What would they think of the food?
The video would end with a goodtime party with friends around the campfire.❤✌👍
It's a dream...............👋👋👋👋
The bread looks like a traditional canned brown bread. And would be best eaten with the pork and beans. Traditional new england meal ia brown bread and english style baked beans.
Having reviewed so many NATO rations, you do know the contents list is also in English, right?
So, I cannot stand fish or seafood. It's just me, I know I'm weird. But there ain't nothing wrong with a good tuna (albacore) salad sandwich with deli mustard and spicy pickles.
You are not allone! Fish and seafood 🤪
This is what one would call a peace time ration. If you were in a combat situation were logistics required you to carry three days of rations with you, how much of this ration would you want to carry?
Two of them would go on the truck. Just like every other Army. They don't issue 3 at a time any more than they HAVE to - no Army QM ever gave out more than they had to just in case they ran short. If a soldier is KIA on day 1 you wasted 2 rations you may not get back.
If you are doing a 3 day patrol you are not standard troops - and they will have different lightweight meals.
I never had more than one MRE at a time, and yes they certainly were consumed during wartime. I was lucky in Iraq to be supporting the French.. although back then there were only 4 menus of the RCIR.
Too many people. I just liked Nathan reviewing the videos
Yep, tuning in 🙂
Nice
Normally we eat fruty stuff to gaimy meats like boar
Some nice huge feast up there guys you did
ist not MRE bread its "Pumpernickel" / "Schwarzbrot" beaked in round form common in germany and nutritious - sorry but you are picking as americans - one ration one person one day and that was you get for the whole day and its enaugh
yw bro!
you can still say its a pint, 17 oz
Good vid, keep it up!
That was an epic feast!
I really like how you are doing this . I have been looking back on all your old reviews. Good luck.
Well, trying to translate english to english is...not necessary ^_^
I am reviewing a type 9 German ration on my channel
Nathan time
You st.....I wish y.... why don't yo.....🤥 I tried to say something bad, but I couldn't.. you stars of the reviews, I wish you made them more often,...why don't you tell the haters to BLOW &GO..I LIKE WHAT I SEE AND WHAT I DON'T ,,, GET WELL QUICK PHILLIP, 🤗🤐😎
good time for a steak..
I like your channel and I love the knife you use to open the packages where did you get it from ?
Dear Amanda, ur soft and have no idea what rations and the military is about. Having spent 6 months in Desert Storm we had 24 choices of what to eat 3 times a day! If u want the mre experience u should fast for 72 hrs then do a review! When u are only issued 3 days of food u are greatful, make the best of it and trade w others! Salt, pepper and hot sauce r ur best friends. Heat the pates and cheese and peanut butter, improvise! We finally got a hot xmas day dinner - fresh - New years day! Understanding this i think u can take reviews to the next level. Keep up the good work!
I always find it amusing when MRE reviewers particularly the campers enthuse about how great MRE rations are...I'm like eat them for days or weeks on end and see how you like them.
@@goldmanjace You don't need to watch this MRE review mate !!
@@goldmanjace
They don't claim to be vets. Your remarks are uncalled for. Some people take these on camping trips.
BRATVURST UND CHOCOLADE
Great effort on opening the package like a normal person at 6:48. Still busted out the knife though? So close.
What kind of translator is that?
😁👍👍👍👍👍
Erasco!🤮 Da. Ist ja ne Dose von Aldi besser.
Yeah it's like their cars, Fat and Massive lol.... bon appetit guys 🙂
Why rush your review? So rushed
A bunch of picky eaters doing MRE reviews. And SPAM isn't a pate people lol it's a lunchloaf.
Dude you are so mean to your woman in every episode
