What an ignorant title, worthy of unsubscribing. You’re saying the menu is Woke from an era well beyond the years of todays current political culture. Look up FUDD in the dictionary and look to see if your picture is in there…
Yep, I too was surprised to see that title. I've been following Me Ancient for a long time, an inanimate object can't be woke. My understanding of being woke is being aware of your surroundings and what is going to affect you, being socially aware.
On the osmotic raisins it just describes the dehydration process. So the grapes are dried by either covering them in sugar in the drying process or having a sugar solution in the drying ovens so the osmosis process is used to accelarate the drying process. Since they dry a lot faster osmotic raisins are softer and plumper than convection oven only or sundried raisins.
After watching your videos for some time now, I was convinced to try a MRE. One of my military buddies gave me one of his (chili with beans) dated 2009. It had corn bread, pizza crackers and a few other tasty things. It was a fun experience and I’m glad I can finally say I’ve tried one after seeing your videos. Thanks for the content, have a great day.
They have a ton of the Vegetable Patty in BBQ Sauce meals at my local Surplus Store and they are marked as These are $1.00 meals. Eat at your own risk. Even a Marine won't eat them. The poster of Gunnery Sargent Hartman has it a little more colorful than I typed it. But right beside those meals are boxes of Crayons for free. Great video as always guys
I love y’all’s videos. But I also believe in personal choice (something America is built on). Freedom. That’s what America is all about. That being said be people have different dietary preferences and/or restrictions. So the Veg. option in MREs seems like progress to me! Hope this changes your view on it Me Ancient. Love your videos. Found you after following both your sons for the longest time. Take care and God Bless.
I'm just old and when I was active duty, the Marine didn't tell the Marine Corps what menu he wanted. I think we did alright back then. Personal choice was, by and large, left out of the equation when we signed up to serve. That included food choices. I would argue that a military with too many personal choices cannot have the esprit de corps it needs to do what the military is supposed to do....break things and kill people - before they break your things and kill your people. That's all I'm saying. TFW
Veggie burgers can be really good as long as they are not pretending to be meat, like those silly "beyond meat" burgers, etc. My sister is a vegitarian and she gets delicious veggie burgers such as teriyaki flavour which is awesome. BBQ could be good too. I like a good hamburger same as the next guy, but veggie burgers are great if you eat them for what they are. Cheers from Canada.
I've been wanting to buy an MRE since I started watching your videos but I'm just not as brave as you are sir 😂 Love your videos, Ace & High Adventure videos! I watch your family's videos every single night! Thanks for the best content 🙂
Cody, I honestly liked it more than I thought I would. I'd try to trade but I would eat it if it was all there was. Especially, as you say, after a long day in the field. TFW
Those potatoe sticks remind me of my grandmother. They had some brand that would come in a Pringles type can. Haven't seen them in years. Ty for the videos
I worked at Parris Island as part of the Naval Support party (medical/dental/chapel) and would occasionally encounter recruits who wanted to eat vegetarian. The DIs would tell them it wasn't going to work. Invariably, they would end up ill after about 5 weeks.
This is where things get complicated by Naval reorganization. In about 2005 or 06 the medical and dental were merged together. Dental was expected to cross-train and be able to fill either role but this was not true of the medical staff until about 2011. So yes, I was a doc, but my primary role was dental. However, I did several rotations in the medical clinic. @@MeAncient
When I heard "vegetarian" I wrinkled my nose a bit, but that hamburger doesn't look bad at all. Anyway, I prefer a "real" hamburger on the grill, but I guess some people will have a reason not to eat meat, and even if they are in the army its their right to not eat it, even if I don´t understand it... Woke and anti woke are just excuses to label people in my humble opinion, divide to conquer like the Romans said. Excellent video, as always.
He be one of 4 sons. He has his own TH-cam channel (Ace Videos) like I mentioned, as does one of his brothers, Micah. His channel is High Adventure Videos. TFW, Joey
I think someone like @HUKIT759 is way overreacting to the title, but as someone who probably agrees with you politically, please don't bring politics into your channel unnecessarily. I love your stories and experiences that you bring and I am definitely closer in age to ACE then yourself, so most of us have had that friend who went through a "no meat" stage, but I look at this meal as I would a "halal." Its not the military going woke, but just trying to be accommodating and I respect these people's sacrifices for the country, just I did yours in the 1980's. We're all American's whether we agree on everything or not and we're closer together then not, despite what the media and the fringe of both sides would think. Love your channel, keep up the great work!
Are the MRE meals that you sample the same ones that troops use, by the same manufacturers? Or, are some manufactured for civilians? Just wondering..it doesn't make a lot of difference. I wouldn't mind stocking some for emergencies like tornadoes and power outages but I wouldn't have a clue where to start. So, instead I try to keep a supply of canned soup with meat and a butane burner with a case of butane. Canned soup is easily recyclable. I am wondering what other type of budget survival foods you might recommend.
I think what you are doing work fine. Easier to rotate the soup and food stuffs you normally eat into your regular meals than try to make MREs work. TFW
@Me Ancient.....my sister was married to a Seventh Day Adventist. Every year she made vegetarian meatballs for his family, and she would make the same recipe for our get-together. The meatballs were fantastic. I am an omnivore and love meat, but these vegetarian meatballs were fine. Some SDAs eat meat and others do not.
Found this explanation of "osmotic" online..... "The main cause of perishability of fruits and vegetables are their high water content. To increase the shelf life of these fruits and vegetables many methods or combination of methods had been tried. Osmotic dehydration is one of the best and suitable method to increase the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. This process is preferred over others due to their vitamin and minerals, color, flavor and taste retention property." So basically they are further dried for preservation.
My sister unfortunately can't eat meat anymore due to a rare side effect of having her gall bladder removed. I've tried some of her fake meat, you put some sauce on it and it's not bad. As you pointed out the taste and texture are close but not quite which for trying to be something it's not is actually impressive. Might have to see if there are any of these kicking around for her the next time we have a big family camping trip. Might not be able to have actual burgers with us but potato salad and a one of these burgers on a fresh bun would be a good substitute.
I was surprised how it turned out okay on the BBQ Burger. Cinnamon Scone would be great to dip in the coffee. I'm not a coffee drinker. I used to like the potato sticks and they were good. Thanks for the new video, Nice to meet you Ace.
i was watching stealth camping. and search on mre meals and came across your channel. great info and more wow love it so i ordered 3 to get a taste of it. thanks for your services. if you get a chance of the 1964 1970 army mre love to see that my dad would have gone to Vietnam. but didnt have to take care
Back in the 60s and 70s, the meals produced for field use were called C Rations, or C Rats, as we called them. I have several videos on old C Rations. Hope you take a look. TFW, Allen.
Hey Me Ancient, great video. I'm surprised that the tomato based BBQ sauce, was still edible as well. When I was a kid, we called the potatoes "MatchSticks", I think that's even what the packaging called them, not sure. They were always really crunchy, and very salty, but tasty. Yeah I remember the TV antennae days, we had ours configured that we kept a pipe wrench hanging by it, and when we wanted to "fine tune" the reception, we'd open up the window, and use the pipe wrench to turn the entire pole that the antennae was attached to. Maybe it was silly looking, but it really worked well. Don't worry about the negative comments, Father God gave everyone their own free will. He stated his opinion, and I won't agree with it, or else we'd both be wrong!! Keep the videos coming, God bless, brother.
As Briscoe Darlin says, "A man's entitled to his opinion." I quit caving to peer pressure in 7th grade. Not worried about a few negative comments, for sure. TFW, as always!
@@MeAncient they probably hydrated them with sterilized water which gives them a weird taste. my father joined the army in 84 and retired in 05 so i have had my fair share of mre's growing up.
Yeah the fruit tends to go bad in older MREs. I've had old raisins that tasted, off. They tasted metallic and were mushy. Raisins shouldn't be mushy. The applesauce goes dark and tastes off too. And I had old pineapples once. Pineapples are supposed to be yellow. Yellow would not be a color I would use to describe the ones I ate. Brown. They were brown. Tasted fine though. Tasted like old pineapple you kept in the fridge a bit too long but not rotten yet. Also, I love the two pieces of wheat snack bread to make a bun instead of making an actual bun.
Just discovered your channel Marine! Good stuff, but veggies for a Marine, Seriously LOL. All kidding aside, like your videos (and your Prayers before, good on you). Senior Chief USN Retired sends.
Aloha Uncle Me Ancient! Idk if you remember me but i met you on Maui quite a few times. I always look forward to your uploads and especially this one because idk if you heard about the fires on Maui, but i lost my house and this is a good distraction for me. Anyone reading this please consider donating!
Kenneth, I have heard about your plight. I'm so sorry to hear about your home. Where was your home? I'm happy to provide a distraction at this time for you. TFW, as always. Mahalo and stay safe.
@@MeAncient me and my family live in lahaina. We were one of the people that had to jump out of our cars on front street and jump in the ocean to avoid the fire. So fricken scary, please keep everyone in your prayers!
Some of the troops in Desert Storm hated the veggie burger MREs BUT theyd give em to the "con troops " (guys that had been in juvie or jail) and man alive what those guys could do with MREs would blow your mind!!
Yeah, I couldn't believe it myself. Better than I thought it would be as well. BTW, picked up the MRE you sent today......coming soon.....TFW and TFSending.
If the tea does not have lemon I would try mixing a bit of the lemon drink in the tea about a forth of a glass or so. The commercial veggie burgers are a lot saltier than regular burgers. So I wonder if it was going to be salty tasting.
Yes, a Sunday night sneak attack from Me Ancient to wrap up the weekend 👍 if I were stuck with that MRE the bbq sauce would barely be enough to help me choke that veggie patty down, I’ve had a veggie burger just once. It took loading it up with onion, tomato and steak sauce to make it edible. The potato sticks would definitely be the highlight of the meal. As always, great pics and story!
@@dylanbailey5232 The word of GOD teaches us not to openly hate and oppress others for their sins. Among things the Bible mentions as atrocities are lying and devious behavior. Anyone who thinks Jesus would support the Go WOKE go BROKE campaign needs to read their Bible a little more and focus on the entire message.
If I ever tried this, I do not remember , friend? Lets check it out. FRH'S, are more miss than hit, LOL. Scones are like Hash Browns, sound good, look like poop. The meal and components seem solid, if not actually appetizing. If I found this, I would try it at least once, to add to my list. Cool ration and review. Peace from Ky. John, AKA, Magnum. P.S., last post left me wondering, location? No answer if not wish to. Take care friend.
Again thank you for your service, so I said in the past that my dad was in the U.S. Air Force he's been deceased since 2016 why do you light a match every time? I believe you said to make sure it works, but have you ever had a match that didn't work?? He didn't talk to much about his time back in the Korean War as he was 17.5 years old and an orphan.
Wow, I bet your dad had some amazing stories, although most guys didn't talk much about them. At least the ones I have met. I just like to strike matches. And since most MREs come with them, it's just a thing with me.......TFW
You know, I'm sure you are correct. As I mentioned, I was not an ordnance guy. (I'm still not). Thank you for straightening me out on that. I hope I can remember it if I talk about any more incidents around that area. TFW!
I only Eat Veggi once and never again it was so disgusting i could only eat one piece of it and threw the rest away and i only did it because i wanted to make my GF happy but i later order a Burger
I guess if the military wants to recruit in these days Nadick has to offer vegetarian, Halal, Kosher, and vegan options. While I am not either. But, we could be missing talented individuals by not offering a wide variety of options.
Nothing woke about a person - being vegetarian. Personal choice or religious reasons are absolutely fine. There were people moaning that soldiers were going soft years ago when they brought in the idea of different menus!
You can still buy potatoe sticks today. i do all the time. I tried the woke impossible burger before it was one time deal but id try this. next time put some Potatoe sticks on the veggie pile lolz
You do realize MRE's are make with digestible plastic for shelf life and to prevent radiation contamination, there are no negative effects on the body. Remember bubble gum is also made with digestible plastic for almost 100 years.
Everyone repent of your sins and turn to Jesus, for by grace are ye saved through faith that not that of yourselves it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8
This is actually fake. I was in during 05 and 06. This meal never existed during this time. Clickbait. This is confirmed by his deconstruction of raisins.
Does your wife like the military mre's have she tried i did thier good =) Injoy watching your videos learning about andhearing you talk about the military and the photos you share...=) some of those Expried food you eat like some pateries you have looksl ike you can toss it against your nice brick hme and it will break into pieces Haa haa!!
My wife is the best cook who's food I've every had the pleasure to eat. The way I enjoy MREs is a personal affront to her. But seriously, I have to remind her that when I am raving about a meal, it's only in comparison to other MREs and military food I've had. Nothing compares to her cooking. It's a wonder I don't weigh north of 300 pounds. Seriously......TFW, Lisa
I liked your title. Looks like it triggered some fragile types though. 🤣🤣🤣 My sister married into a Seventh Day Adventist family and some of them are vegetarians. She makes an excellent meatless meatball and marinara dish for holidays. She is not SDA but made it for her mother in law. It is really good even though meatless. One of the problems in today's society is their emotional fragility. Don't let them bother you. I can tell that you are a kind gentleman (a fellow believer) with a sense of humor.
@sparkmanrl. Always a good day when people leave nasty comments and expect us to clean up the trash they spill. It’s difficult to not have thick skin and do TH-cam. Me Ancient does a great job of having thick skin to do this.

Just discovered your channel Marine! Good stuff, but veggies for a Marine, Seriously LOL. All kidding aside, like your videos (and your Prayers before, good on you). Senior Chief USN Retired sends.
Aloha Uncle Me Ancient!
Idk if you remember me but i met you on Maui quite a few times. I always look forward to your uploads and especially this one because idk if you heard about the fires on Maui, but i lost my house and this is a good distraction for me. Anyone reading this please consider donating!
Kenneth, I have heard about your plight. I'm so sorry to hear about your home. Where was your home? I'm happy to provide a distraction at this time for you. TFW, as always. Mahalo and stay safe.
@@MeAncient me and my family live in lahaina. We were one of the people that had to jump out of our cars on front street and jump in the ocean to avoid the fire. So fricken scary, please keep everyone in your prayers!
The one I had a few years ago actually tasted good, it does need to be hot.
It wasn't too bad. Better than I thought, for sure. TFW
Some of the troops in Desert Storm hated the veggie burger MREs BUT theyd give em to the "con troops " (guys that had been in juvie or jail) and man alive what those guys could do with MREs would blow your mind!!
Hugh, I remember the fight I got in with a Con in Boot Camp. I tell the story in one of my videos. They were a tough crowd.....TFW!
Howdy Me Ancient that VEGGIE was ok after 18 years and the BBQ sauce was ok too. THANKS for showing !
Yeah, I couldn't believe it myself. Better than I thought it would be as well. BTW, picked up the MRE you sent today......coming soon.....TFW and TFSending.
Still waiting on those "cleanse the ole palate" tshirts! 😅
If the tea does not have lemon I would try mixing a bit of the lemon drink in the tea about a forth of a glass or so. The commercial veggie burgers are a lot saltier than regular burgers. So I wonder if it was going to be salty tasting.
Good idea. It was surprisingly better than I thought it would be. TFW, Travis.
Some of the lemon lime mix might have been good in the tea kind of like a lemon in tea.
Oh yeah.....an Arnold Palmer. I like those. Why didn't I think of that? TFW
The raisins are put in saltwater to get more moisture out of the raisins.
They were nasty, perhaps because of their age. TFW
Next you should try the vegetable omelet. It is supposedly the most disgusting MRE ever made
Vomit Omlet. I did a review on that one.......TFW
Great review as always thanks for the prayer
Always! TFW
fun fact their were 28 tv antenna hooked up to that one single building
That's crazy! Good observation. TFW, David.
👍
Pic nic chips are the best! I used to pour nacho cheese on them with franks hot sauce and eat them with a fork.. lol
Love the title!
You and everyone else, Joe! TFW
yummie
Darius, you know it. TFW
Yes, a Sunday night sneak attack from Me Ancient to wrap up the weekend 👍 if I were stuck with that MRE the bbq sauce would barely be enough to help me choke that veggie patty down, I’ve had a veggie burger just once. It took loading it up with onion, tomato and steak sauce to make it edible. The potato sticks would definitely be the highlight of the meal. As always, great pics and story!
Onions on it would be a really good idea. I like it. TFW
Lo que más me gusto son las patatas 🥔 fritas 😊
Those fries were good. TFW
I LOVE THE TITLE and I also agree. The idea is ridiculous.
If you've been active duty, you get it. TFW
love your channel me ancient don’t change or listen to nobody else
Glad to see ur outwardly Christian and not afraid and stand for ur religion
Thank you for that and just thanking God for the food is the right thing to do.
I got over peer pressure when I was in 7th grade.........TFW, Dylan.
@@dylanbailey5232 The word of GOD teaches us not to openly hate and oppress others for their sins. Among things the Bible mentions as atrocities are lying and devious behavior. Anyone who thinks Jesus would support the Go WOKE go BROKE campaign needs to read their Bible a little more and focus on the entire message.
They knew you would need that hot sauce for some junk vegetarian meal 😂 I may have starved in the military.
If I ever tried this, I do not remember , friend? Lets check it out. FRH'S, are more miss than hit, LOL. Scones are like Hash Browns, sound good, look like poop. The meal and components seem solid, if not actually appetizing. If I found this, I would try it at least once, to add to my list. Cool ration and review. Peace from Ky. John, AKA, Magnum. P.S., last post left me wondering, location? No answer if not wish to. Take care friend.
The location of the video is the deck at my house, if that's what you are asking. I cannot always get to all the comments, my friend. TFW
Looks like the title is catching some extra attention. Anyways, glad to know it's not bad! I'd try it.
Someone gets it.......TFW
Thanks you for your sacrifice 🙏🏻
Was it that obvious? TFW, Roman
Again thank you for your service, so I said in the past that my dad was in the U.S. Air Force he's been deceased since 2016 why do you light a match every time? I believe you said to make sure it works, but have you ever had a match that didn't work?? He didn't talk to much about his time back in the Korean War as he was 17.5 years old and an orphan.
Wow, I bet your dad had some amazing stories, although most guys didn't talk much about them. At least the ones I have met. I just like to strike matches. And since most MREs come with them, it's just a thing with me.......TFW
@@MeAncient well again I say thank you to everyone who has fought & served this country very well sometimes giving up their lives for all of us...🙏🙏🙏
Oh man, I recall this one was rough when I had it. The flavor was ok but the texture...
Viper, I didn't mind the texture too much. Overall, it really surprised my that I liked it as much as I did. TFW, as always.
The howitzer you referred to was a155 mm not a 105 mm. Enjoy your videos
You know, I'm sure you are correct. As I mentioned, I was not an ordnance guy. (I'm still not). Thank you for straightening me out on that. I hope I can remember it if I talk about any more incidents around that area. TFW!
Before we had the impossible Whopper we had the vegi burger👍😁 Uncle Sam beat Burger King !!😂😂😂
I only Eat Veggi once and never again it was so disgusting i could only eat one piece of it and threw the rest away and i only did it because i wanted to make my GF happy but i later order a Burger
Title and content are sublime. I think this one has enough spice to be the best preforming MEAncient vid to date.
You do realize that there are a few who disagree with your take, right? Some might call you brave. TFW! (And thanks for getting it)

I always made a half sandwich with any burger MRE and traded the other bread for something else.
Cody, good call. I wish they put peanut butter or cheese in that one. TFW
Yeah I never understood that one. They were always stingy with the jalapeno cheese
I was gonna say they were called pik-nik but as I was typing it showed up on the screen some stores still have them I believe
They are still out there. TFW
I guess if the military wants to recruit in these days Nadick has to offer vegetarian, Halal, Kosher, and vegan options. While I am not either. But, we could be missing talented individuals by not offering a wide variety of options.
That's true, we could be. But the USMC did pretty good before we started offering them, too.
Nothing woke about a person - being vegetarian. Personal choice or religious reasons are absolutely fine.
There were people moaning that soldiers were going soft years ago when they brought in the idea of different menus!
I have my own ideas about that, Greg. I'll probably share those more specifically in a future video. TFW & stay tuned!
😳 they were putting these out back in 2005?! Wow.....I’d shoot a rabbit (or whatever was in the area) before this
Now there's an idea. TFW
You can still buy potatoe sticks today. i do all the time. I tried the woke impossible burger before it was one time deal but id try this. next time put some Potatoe sticks on the veggie pile lolz
Good ideal. TFW
I'll pass lol....although if you're starving lol.
Keep sharing pics and stories...
That's the plan, Eltenda. As always, TFW!
You do realize MRE's are make with digestible plastic for shelf life and to prevent radiation contamination, there are no negative effects on the body. Remember bubble gum is also made with digestible plastic for almost 100 years.
If only you did an mre with a fan when you were in Maine haha what were you not thinking lol jk
Ain't that the truth....TFW, Maine Man
Everyone repent of your sins and turn to Jesus, for by grace are ye saved through faith that not that of yourselves it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8
💁♂️💩🤡😈
This is actually fake. I was in during 05 and 06. This meal never existed during this time. Clickbait. This is confirmed by his deconstruction of raisins.
We had hickory sticks
Susan, to hit people with or eat? TFW
@@MeAncient lol - to eat. They are potato sticks with hickory flavor - yummmm
Does your wife like the military mre's have she tried i did thier good =) Injoy watching your videos learning about andhearing you talk about the military and the photos you share...=) some of those Expried food you eat like some pateries you have looksl ike you can toss it against your nice brick hme and it will break into pieces Haa haa!!
My wife is the best cook who's food I've every had the pleasure to eat. The way I enjoy MREs is a personal affront to her. But seriously, I have to remind her that when I am raving about a meal, it's only in comparison to other MREs and military food I've had. Nothing compares to her cooking. It's a wonder I don't weigh north of 300 pounds. Seriously......TFW, Lisa
Cinnamony is a word
I liked your title. Looks like it triggered some fragile types though. 🤣🤣🤣
My sister married into a Seventh Day Adventist family and some of them are vegetarians. She makes an excellent meatless meatball and marinara dish for holidays. She is not SDA but made it for her mother in law. It is really good even though meatless.
One of the problems in today's society is their emotional fragility. Don't let them bother you. I can tell that you are a kind gentleman (a fellow believer) with a sense of humor.
@sparkmanrl. Always a good day when people leave nasty comments and expect us to clean up the trash they spill. It’s difficult to not have thick skin and do TH-cam. Me Ancient does a great job of having thick skin to do this.
Yeah, as I have said in other comments, I quit worrying about peer pressure in 7th grade. That was quite a while back......TFW!
too call a veggie mre "woke" is a little bit off...but ok...otherwise i love your videos and storys. ;)
Maybe, but it sure gets lots of folks talking........TFW
this is funny to me
Someone gets it! TFW
You should try Frank's red hot
Sounds spicy...is that a hot dog? TFW, Paul
@@MeAncient hot sauce about like Tabasco better flavor I think
so this is what its like to eat a vegetarian mc rib and mc dees
That's it.....TFW
