    what do we get inside this army ration pack from Latvian??

  • @keeperofthegood

    Hey Dan. That chocolate disappointment was keenly sharp. Nothing disappoints more than bad chocolate! The bread, as a few others mentioned, is made with the grain called Rye. It's in the same family of plant as Wheat and Barley. While eaten sporadically for a long time, it was only cultivated intentionally about 900 year ago. The benefit it has over wheat and barley is that it will grow farther north into colder lands. Yes, it does have a noticeable taste to it, and some people push hard on that difference adding flavors like caraway or fennel to it. I like it hot toasted and covered in butter myself, going to have to get some honey next time I am out. Some of the other food items enjoyed specifically with rye bread are pastrami, cream cheese, pickled fish and sliced hard boiled eggs. If I did a ration pack with Rye I'd put in a good pâté for it (not sure how cream cheese would hold up in a ration). Here in Canada we make Whiskey from it :) too.

    i think the honey is multifunctional nice on toast or in coffee and excellent in porridge along with a few cranberries to jazz it up a bit 😋 but its a antifungal too so can be used medicinally! magical stuff honey Dan 🍯 😁

  • @pops6638
    @pops6638 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Dan, the Honey is a natural sweetener, put it on/in owt you need to sweeten.
    It’s also a natural antiseptic.
    So any open wounds, clean them first and then apply honey to the dressing you are about to apply.
    Stay safe

    These are commercial tourist rations more than actual military grade stuff, hence the colourful packaging. But are often sold on eBay or ration vending sites as military.
    The official Latvian military ration comes in a brown bag very similar in design and shape to the polish SRG but in a tan coloured bag, the main meals come in a green coloured bag.

No one would take the old ones out for field drills, everyone would usually take grocery store food with them. Everyone in my company loves the new ones

    Malt loaf , not a good start . Rye bread .
    Scabby honey .
    Heat pack .. can't eat it ..
    Coffee .. Jesus , enough coffee to kill a rabbit ..
    Green tea , pointless tea .
    Hand gel aka vodka
    Rice porridge with strawberries .. winner
    Poo roll , enough paper to clean up the honey .
    Fruit and nut with chocolate ..
    You're getting the home feeling from that meal bag . I'm thinking it's a scam straight off .
    Doesn't come with a kettle or a scissors .
    No bloody milk
    I'm going to score this bag a minus 4 out of 10 .
