I am not sure but usually in this bag (which You got) should be a napkin and a special cover for the fireplace to safe the fire/food while it's raining and quite windy - its like 4 metal sticks (1-1.2m long) and a special "rubber" material or something like this, and I see there wasn't special cornflakes with dried fruits and a powder ball milk in Your medium bag. There is a large bag too which contains ofc more food and kindling stuff but also some food in tube and icecream, the "icecream" is first in a water consistence but when You start to squeeze it with Your hands it turns into ice...

Where I live in London we have a huge Polish supermarket and buying from there is a voyage of discovery. The food is so tasty and hearty that I can imagine that the ration pack is equally as good. If you find a Polish store near you, I recommend a visit. Everything from the bread to the meats, cheese, cans of food, confectionery, it's all delicious.

Well, our army lack new generation of gear, tanks, weapons, uniforms and such, but yeah, mre's are lovely. The company which produces them (Arpol), are distributing rations to army, police, firefighters (yes, they use them in field training), and such uniform duty units, also for tourists, offroaders, survivalists... It's hard to not like this company, civilians can buy those rations not in bulk, but as single pieces straight from the producer. They keep the food as chem free as possible as well, so most of it is actually quality products. Candies, jam, chocolate and instant beverages tho are pretty cheap discount store type of stuff, but people around the world still like it, which is a mystery for me ;)

"Panzerwaffel" crackers have their name from 2 things: - You can use them as an improvised bulletproof armor - If you are a good thrower, they can be used as an anti-tank shurikens Also opening cans, choping trees, and digging trenches.
She’s not polish though... in Poland we do not allow people other countries in us army/military. And even if she make it in Poland army she still would likely fail training. Please just stop crap this. (If English sucks it because I use google translate
My Polish grandparents always called lunch dinner. I never knew that was odd till I was an adult. We ate 3 meals though. Breakfast (oatmeal with butter n salt) dinner and supper. Generally noon was for holiday big meals. Polish candy is delish. Opłatki means wafer, like communion wafer -- very thin--so that would make sense
Dinner is supposed to be the main meal of the day. If you eat that at noon or in the afternoon, you call that dinner (or lunch if you want). The evening meal can be tea or supper, depending on the time and the food served. So your grandparents had breakfast, dinner, and supper, as you state.

In my army days when i was a company office work soldier i always added one more request for a whole box of panzer waffles for office, my captain and me used to eat them a lot with coffe while doing paper work and many soldiers know that at any time in office we have whole box of them hidden in the old AK47 crate and we are happy to share :D No teeth broken :D
No, we do not have two meals a day. We eat three. In the morning, when we wake up we eat breakfast, so just some sandwiches or fried eggs. Something fast and easy to make. Then sometimes we take with us the second breakfast like again sandwich, but not everyone does that. Then at 14:00 or 2 pm we have what w call a dinner. Usually it's a meal consisting of mashed potatoes or rice etc, meat and some veggies and it can be some steamed/boiled ones, some "salads" or pickled beets or pickles. Sometimes we have soup to this meal, but not everyone does that. The soup is without meat, but sometimes we have a tablespoon of potatoes/rice etc with veggies, so it's not a bowl full of stuff. Mostly full of just broth. Then in the evening we eat a supper, which is usually like breakfast. Sometimes we make it fancy, because we have time, but sandwiches are good. Sorry if my English is not perfect. I live in Poland my whole life and that's the way my family and my friends have eaten for my whole life.
I haven't heard of just two meals a day either. Anywhere after 1pm to 4pm is dinner time, biggest meal of the day, main event. Breakfast and supper are on the low low I feel like.
I love your videos because I’ve never watched you try anything and disrespect it. If anyone else were trying this, the Haitian cookies, Great Depression foods, they would exaggerate and disrespect it. And it’s not even like you’re holding back a reaction, your genuine reaction is just so authentically respectful.
You can trust blindly that these packs will work as intended - Emmy would likely not even need the whole thing, it's designed to feed soldiers in the field: Larger, more muscular and probably physically active people. If an army can do one thing, with literally hundreds of years of experience, it's feeding its soldiers to keep them healthy and strong.
Christian Breitenstein , thats why i suggested what i did!! just because theyre meant to do something it doesnt mean theyre effective at it! i think it would be curious to see if she finds herself staying full extremely long or of she needs the snacks. its food, of course its going to feed, however seeing how well it feeds would be fun
Christian Breitenstein and by work, i didn't necessarily mean how well they keep you full, i was more talking about the practicality of it and how well their design works, as well as the food. how long does it take to actually sit down and finish a meal? stuff like that, we cant really see it with tastings
David Drygas i dont really understand you comment, but what im saying is she should try to eat those as her only food over 24hrs like the packs are designed to
Ja nie rozumiem jak można w wojskowej racji żywnościowej pakować tyle sztućców i kubków. 1 drewniana miska i 1 łyżka powinna wystarczyć, a resztę wypchać żarciem !
Emmy! Next time you do a 24 hour ration, I would love to see you actually film it over 24 hours (only meal times) and eat only the ration for that period. No external foods or drinks. I would love to see how the experience is for you if you eat the ration as intended. Please do one like that! Like if you would also like Emmy to try this 😊
I just bought one of these rations and I'm floored at how stinking good it is. Lovely food. I'm really impressed. Wish we had something like this when I was in the army.
7:13 sorry Emmy but Matt is wrong or is not really Polish... In Poland traditionally there are 3 main meals per day. 1st is breakfast pretty much same as in the US when it comes to time and portion size. 2nd is dinner which unlike in the US is usally eaten around 2~3 p.m. Traditionally it's a 2 course meal consisting of soup and main dish. Lastly there is supper served around 7~8 p.m.
Nuriko DB maybe the region of poland that he’s from doesn’t typically have breakfast? my family almost never has breakfast and only eats the two main meals so he’s not completely wrong
@@yes-hv5wt There are 3 standard meals per day in Poland, period. There might be families that have different habits but they're the minority. End of story.
The Army sent by BTS I think he meant eaither that our dinner i two course meal or that we have offen two hot meals dinner and supper. Becouse yes we always eat breakfast like everywhere it is the tradition but some people dont eat in the morning. But they know it is the tradition and it is mostly becouse they dont have time. But. I can believe that in his home they always ate hot dinner and supper and cold breakfast and maybe he thought that is a tradition
It's funny that you were shocked by the size of beans, same thing happened to me when I opened Heinz can of beans, I didn't know beans could be this small xD
Being Polish myself I absolutely LOVED watching this video! It was so fun and interesting to see your reactions and tasting the rations. I think its so interesting to see how different each MRE and Army meal is from other counties! I love your videos and you should do more videos on trying Polish foods and snacks!😍
I was feeling down until the auto captions wrote “It’s a donkey mouth...mmm delicious” instead of “itadakimasu...mmm delicious.” Now I can’t stop giggling.
You’re so adventurous and don’t limit your experiences to food. It’s so amazing. As a person who sides more on being picky (although not as bad as I used to be for sure) watching you embrace everything you try is so cool.
I think he gave you that hat with velkro with the thoughts of you being able to change the flag of the MRI in each video you shoot This way you have the possibility to get as many flags as you want or need and stitch the appropriate velkro on the back, easy and fairly inexpensive, bringing a neat touch for you in each video That was really thoughtful of him! And intelligent :0 Kudos on the idea
Velcro name, which is used in the US, is the name of the company that produces the hook and loop fastener system based on a plant, a kind of a thistle. The thistle provides the hooks and everything else provides the loop. Evolution at work. I'm sure this thistle is all over Europe and probably other places. The type of tape is called rzep type. Google the particulars and the pronunciation if you care enough. There is a saying in Polish "he/she stuck to me like a rzep."
while i was watching the video i realized that beans in polish is called "fasola" meanwhile in Arabic beans is called "فاصولياء" which read as fasolia.. i don't know what is the origin of the word but this fact blew my mind
That is a good find. I wonder how they’re related? Arabic is from an entirely different language family than Polish. From my experiences the languages really wouldn’t have much contact with each other. For example Persian (Farsi) is in the same language family as Polish but has had significant contact with Arabic. I’m doubting coincidence here since they are so close. Linguistics is crazy!
Looking at the root for bean in Slavic languages that weren't under Ottoman control and languages that were, I'm pretty sure that this word for bean was introduced via the Ottoman language, which is a mixture of Turkish, Arabic and Farsi, or that it was introduced from one of Poland's neighbouring countries that had been influenced by the Ottomans.
@@wiktorszymczak4760 You should better change your habits to more healthy ones: dinner at 2 p.m. - 3 p.m., supper at 7 p.m. - 8 p.m. and introduce some "podwieczorek" around 5 p.m.
Lovely stuff there. I think Polish cuisine is often underrated a little internationally. A lot of the hearty meals don't look as pretty as, say, Japanese food, but are very flavourful. And yes, those paper like things, are a form of Oblaten - greetings, a German friend.
I honestly think the same can be said for some British meals - our food ends up being much maligned abroad, and they're not always pretty (except maybe the baking ;) ), but there are some great, hearty and delicious stews, pies and pasties :) Some of the Polish stews I've seen look great, I'd love to try one ^-^
@@conradsz If you are soldier in a battlefield, high protein and energy from these types of meals is essential and will be healthy. The meals also have stuff like fruits and nice hearty soup meals, and some snacks.
My uncle In the army exchanged one polish 24h Racja for 6 US MRP. I got 3 of them... but now I see that one Polish consists way more than the MRE! ;D Now I know why for years U.S allies were so happy to exchange it ;D
That's interesting. This Polish ration sure looked heartier than the US MREs we were given during the hurricane Rita aftermath. I would've gladly traded, if I had any Polish allies back then.
You had me at those cans with beans and meat. Ain't no secret anymore. Poland has the best food. Even polish soldiers are having spoiled tongues. Lucky bastards!
Totally. When I was in Trashcanistan there was a boderline black market for Polish and Australian MRE's. Especially the coffee candies that came with the Polish ones.
as a polish dudette I'd smash that kiełbasa krakowska can and devour it's contents immedietly. It's so good that I felt hungry for it just watching this video xD
Molly Fanton - I love watching Steve1989. Nice hiss. Less get this onto a tray, Mkay! I giggle everytime. And his love for coffee instant is so cute. I've sent links to his videos to several friends and they love him too.
Emmy, the fruit bar you're eating at 18:43 is called obleas in México but in stead of eating them with fruit in the middle, we have them with Cajeta which is like a milk caramel candy. The outside is a very thin wafer and definitely edible
The paper on the fruitbar is called 'eetpapier' in dutch, wich translates to 'eat paper' like edible paper. It's candy sold in the Netherlands in many different flavors. It's also de base of a 'kokosmakroon' wich is a coconut cakelike pastrie. Eetpapier is sweet and dissolves in your mouth the second you touch it, but it stays firm when no liquid is involved. A good way to prevent sticky hands when eating a kokosmakroon. :)
And in polish it's called "opłatek" - made from wheat flour and water - it may be flavored and eated as a snack ;w; I still remember that i got them in mine school canteen
Dinner means the biggest meal of the day. In the US it's often in the evening. Supper is derived from Soup. Big meal early in the day makes sense if you are doing heavy work (marching under load, digging, etc.).
I've watched many of your videos in the past, but just realized how amazingly positive you are. Many times in life, happiness is a choice. So glad to experience you sharing that with us.
Thank god for your videos!!!!! Your voice helps me go to sleep (no hate. Nothing has been making me sleep lately). I love your content it relaxes me so much.
I like the fact that she describes how things taste. I also love that she sees the good in all foodseven if we would all be kinda uneasy to try certain foods.
Emmy always takes big, luxurious bites and I love that. Even with the edible insect episodes, she was the best trooper and chomped away. I was proud of her :D
I was a Marine platoon commander in Vietnam 68-69. We had C-Rations that came in a cardboard box. I don't remember everything that was in it but each box came with a "Heavy" and a "lite" which referred to a large can and a small can. The large can could be beans and franks, ham and lima beans, beef slices with potatoes, spaghetti and with balls, and maybe one or two other meals. The small can could be a slice of beefsteak, turkey loaf, chopped ham and eggs, or ham slices. A box would also have a can of bread such hardtack biscuits and sometimes a bread backed into the can. And there would be a dessert in a medium can such as pound cake, fruitcake, or fruit cocktail in a large can (if you had fruit cocktail then you always had a small can of meat like above). There was never two large cans or two small cans in a ration. There was also a very small can of cheese which I found to be uneatable and sometimes peanut, and a small can of jam. There was an accessory pack with gum, a small pack of cigarettes, powdered cocoa or coffee, a piece of candy, sugar, salt and pepper, powdered creamer, matches, heat tabs (no stove--you made your own out of one of the small cans) and toilet paper that was completely useless during the monsoon season. There were so many preservatives in the food that we joked that if we got killed we would already be embalmed, saving the morgue some extra work. In general, everything tasted terrible except the turkey loaf, beefsteak slices, and ham slices. Every other kind of meat / beans was unpleasant and consumed only because it was the only thing you had to eat. The bread wasn't too bad and the dessert wasn't that bad either. We tried a lot of ways to improve the taste. Might add the powdered coffee to beans and franks, mash in the pound cake to the ham and lima beans, mix in some peanut butter to the beef slices and potatoes, but the most effective way was to chop up one wild pepper that were about the size of a fingernail and mix it in. These were the hottest peppers I've ever had. One small piece would make your eyes water, nose run, lips burn, and cheeks numb. C-Rations came in various combinations and the one I described was the one I most often had in Vietnam. Technically, each Marine rated three C-Rations a day. However, the area we operated in made being resupplied unpredictable due to the enemy threat, weather, and mountainous terrain. During my time in Vietnam, I don't remember getting more than one C-Ration a day and because resupply was unpredictable, that one ration usually had to last 2-3 days. Typically, we had a "Heavy" or "Lite" in the morning and the remaining can the next morning. Everything else we stretched out for a long as possible. I always saved a few small cans of peanut butter and some jam to keep my energy up between resupplies. C-Rations were fairly heavy and bulky and ammunition was far more important than food and so it was good that we only had to carry one ration for a couple of days. The biggest problem was water. There was no such thing as bottled water in the field nor was there a way to effectively helicopter in potable water. So we filled canteens with whatever was available such as catching rain, a stream, local wells, and as a last resort rice paddy water. Except for the rain, all other sources were polluted and would make you very sick and it usually stunk. We'd put three times the number water purification tablets in the canteen to try to kill whatever was swimming round. After I retired from the Marines in 1989, I ended up as an independent consultant supporting US military exercises for Special Forces and the Army around the world. That's when I was introduced to MREs which were a 100 times better than the C-Rations in Vietnam. The Polish rations look even better than the MREs.
Mr. Emmymadeinjapan home from work: "What's for dinner tonight?", Emmymadeinjapan: "Lunchmeat and Liver pate on crisps, freeze dried fruit, pork neck stew, and beans and sausage on hard tack!" Mr. Emmymadeinjapan: "Huh?"
Amy! Water purification tablets are in a separate kit in Poland :) oh and we also have oblaty in Poland sold separately as a snack, they came to us from Germany :)
This has to be one of the best ration packs I've seen so far, great variety. I husband was in the army(uk) and I brought a couple of his home, they were not the best but this one looks awesome 😊
I've reviewed both, yes exactly the same but they originate in Poland. must say, the polish MRE was superior (both were individual meal rations) but I still have to try a few more from both countries, my Lithuanian MRE review comes out by Thursday 25th Apr if ytoure interested to see an Outdoor review on MRE's :)
Nice. I have Polish roots on both sides of my family. My late, maternal grandad was Polish and from Poland. My late paternal grandmother had a Polish mother and a Ukrainian father. She was born near the Polish/Ukrainian border, as was her husband, my late paternal grandfather. He had a Polish surname, and had Ukrainian in him, and probably Russian in him too. My late maternal grandmother was born in Canada, but had parents who were from Czechoslovakia, which are now two separate countries. I love the food from these countries. It is really good.
My mum's mum was born in Warsaw to a Polish dad and a half-Polish, half-Austrian mother. Her mother was culturally Polish, but the fact that she could speak German is what allowed her and my grandmother to survive the war. My mum's dad was born in Lwów, modern-day Ukraine, to a Polish mother and a Swiss German father. His father's family, again, was culturally Polish. They'd been living in the area for generations. Soon after the start of the war, they were all sent to a work camp in Kazakhstan and remained there until Russia switched sides, at which point they were released and my grandfather, at the age of 16, joined the Polish army. After the war, both my mum's parents ended up in the UK. They met in London, where my mum and her sister were eventually born.

"Panzerwaffel" crackers have their name from 2 things:
- You can use them as an improvised bulletproof armor
- If you are a good thrower, they can be used as an anti-tank shurikens
Also opening cans, choping trees, and digging trenches.
Likely an inspiration for Dwarven combat bread.
And to drill concrete.

She’s not polish though... in Poland we do not allow people other countries in us army/military. And even if she make it in Poland army she still would likely fail training. Please just stop crap this. (If English sucks it because I use google translate

My Polish grandparents always called lunch dinner. I never knew that was odd till I was an adult. We ate 3 meals though. Breakfast (oatmeal with butter n salt) dinner and supper. Generally noon was for holiday big meals. Polish candy is delish. Opłatki means wafer, like communion wafer -- very thin--so that would make sense
Dinner is supposed to be the main meal of the day. If you eat that at noon or in the afternoon, you call that dinner (or lunch if you want). The evening meal can be tea or supper, depending on the time and the food served. So your grandparents had breakfast, dinner, and supper, as you state.
Hallo! Polish soldier greets you. Enjoy your meal - smacznego:)

In my army days when i was a company office work soldier i always added one more request for a whole box of panzer waffles for office, my captain and me used to eat them a lot with coffe while doing paper work and many soldiers know that at any time in office we have whole box of them hidden in the old AK47 crate and we are happy to share :D No teeth broken :D
The true purpose of these waffles is to achieve weapon-grade stool hardness. Google "the Inuit shit knife".
@@suma4m 😂😂😂😂
No, we do not have two meals a day. We eat three. In the morning, when we wake up we eat breakfast, so just some sandwiches or fried eggs. Something fast and easy to make. Then sometimes we take with us the second breakfast like again sandwich, but not everyone does that. Then at 14:00 or 2 pm we have what w call a dinner. Usually it's a meal consisting of mashed potatoes or rice etc, meat and some veggies and it can be some steamed/boiled ones, some "salads" or pickled beets or pickles. Sometimes we have soup to this meal, but not everyone does that. The soup is without meat, but sometimes we have a tablespoon of potatoes/rice etc with veggies, so it's not a bowl full of stuff. Mostly full of just broth. Then in the evening we eat a supper, which is usually like breakfast. Sometimes we make it fancy, because we have time, but sandwiches are good.
Sorry if my English is not perfect. I live in Poland my whole life and that's the way my family and my friends have eaten for my whole life.
I haven't heard of just two meals a day either. Anywhere after 1pm to 4pm is dinner time, biggest meal of the day, main event. Breakfast and supper are on the low low I feel like.
@@marta0929 I think she meant 2 big meals
Maybe she meant that but it didn't sound like it. Statements like these are causing disinformation.
still, typically I know of one huge meal and then supper and breakfast are smaller
In the US we have 3. Breakfast, lunch and dinner..then a snack 😉
I love your videos because I’ve never watched you try anything and disrespect it. If anyone else were trying this, the Haitian cookies, Great Depression foods, they would exaggerate and disrespect it. And it’s not even like you’re holding back a reaction, your genuine reaction is just so authentically respectful.
you should try actually eating the ration packs over 24 hours so you can see how well they actually work!!
You can trust blindly that these packs will work as intended - Emmy would likely not even need the whole thing, it's designed to feed soldiers in the field: Larger, more muscular and probably physically active people.
If an army can do one thing, with literally hundreds of years of experience, it's feeding its soldiers to keep them healthy and strong.
Christian Breitenstein , thats why i suggested what i did!! just because theyre meant to do something it doesnt mean theyre effective at it! i think it would be curious to see if she finds herself staying full extremely long or of she needs the snacks. its food, of course its going to feed, however seeing how well it feeds would be fun
Christian Breitenstein and by work, i didn't necessarily mean how well they keep you full, i was more talking about the practicality of it and how well their design works, as well as the food. how long does it take to actually sit down and finish a meal? stuff like that, we cant really see it with tastings
SteveMre does them over the course of breakfast lunch and dinner if you want to check him out
David Drygas i dont really understand you comment, but what im saying is she should try to eat those as her only food over 24hrs like the packs are designed to

Emmy! Next time you do a 24 hour ration, I would love to see you actually film it over 24 hours (only meal times) and eat only the ration for that period. No external foods or drinks. I would love to see how the experience is for you if you eat the ration as intended. Please do one like that!
Like if you would also like Emmy to try this 😊

I just bought one of these rations and I'm floored at how stinking good it is. Lovely food. I'm really impressed. Wish we had something like this when I was in the army.
7:13 sorry Emmy but Matt is wrong or is not really Polish... In Poland traditionally there are 3 main meals per day. 1st is breakfast pretty much same as in the US when it comes to time and portion size. 2nd is dinner which unlike in the US is usally eaten around 2~3 p.m. Traditionally it's a 2 course meal consisting of soup and main dish. Lastly there is supper served around 7~8 p.m.
I found a lot of people on west claiming to be polish but not knowing really basic stuff about Poland lol
Nuriko DB maybe the region of poland that he’s from doesn’t typically have breakfast? my family almost never has breakfast and only eats the two main meals so he’s not completely wrong
@@yes-hv5wt There are 3 standard meals per day in Poland, period. There might be families that have different habits but they're the minority. End of story.
The Army sent by BTS I think he meant eaither that our dinner i two course meal or that we have offen two hot meals dinner and supper. Becouse yes we always eat breakfast like everywhere it is the tradition but some people dont eat in the morning. But they know it is the tradition and it is mostly becouse they dont have time.
But. I can believe that in his home they always ate hot dinner and supper and cold breakfast and maybe he thought that is a tradition
u right! dokładnie tak!!!

I think he gave you that hat with velkro with the thoughts of you being able to change the flag of the MRI in each video you shoot
This way you have the possibility to get as many flags as you want or need and stitch the appropriate velkro on the back, easy and fairly inexpensive, bringing a neat touch for you in each video
That was really thoughtful of him! And intelligent :0
Kudos on the idea
That's a Polish tactical cap from Polish gear maker Helikon-Tex; and as Hugo said it's Polish Woodland camo.
Velcro name, which is used in the US, is the name of the company that produces the hook and loop fastener system based on a plant, a kind of a thistle. The thistle provides the hooks and everything else provides the loop. Evolution at work. I'm sure this thistle is all over Europe and probably other places. The type of tape is called rzep type. Google the particulars and the pronunciation if you care enough. There is a saying in Polish "he/she stuck to me like a rzep."
while i was watching the video i realized that beans in polish is called "fasola" meanwhile in Arabic beans is called "فاصولياء" which read as fasolia.. i don't know what is the origin of the word but this fact blew my mind
🤗🤗🤗
That is a good find. I wonder how they’re related? Arabic is from an entirely different language family than Polish. From my experiences the languages really wouldn’t have much contact with each other. For example Persian (Farsi) is in the same language family as Polish but has had significant contact with Arabic. I’m doubting coincidence here since they are so close. Linguistics is crazy!
Looking at the root for bean in Slavic languages that weren't under Ottoman control and languages that were, I'm pretty sure that this word for bean was introduced via the Ottoman language, which is a mixture of Turkish, Arabic and Farsi, or that it was introduced from one of Poland's neighbouring countries that had been influenced by the Ottomans.
In romanian the word for bean is "fasole"😁
Beans are faggioli in Italian. Nearly the same word! Roman Empire?
I know this video is like two years old, but oh my gosh, that hat is such a sweet touch. What a nice little extra gift.
I'm actually jealous
In Poland people eat three meals a day traditionally.
Breakfast - sniadanie.
Dinner - obiad
Supper - kolacja.

Lovely stuff there. I think Polish cuisine is often underrated a little internationally. A lot of the hearty meals don't look as pretty as, say, Japanese food, but are very flavourful. And yes, those paper like things, are a form of Oblaten - greetings, a German friend.
Yay!!! I got it right. 👏 Thank you!
I honestly think the same can be said for some British meals - our food ends up being much maligned abroad, and they're not always pretty (except maybe the baking ;) ), but there are some great, hearty and delicious stews, pies and pasties :)
Some of the Polish stews I've seen look great, I'd love to try one ^-^
In Spanish is similar: obleas 🙂
@@emmymade my Polish mother called it oplatek very similar to German.😀

My uncle In the army exchanged one polish 24h Racja for 6 US MRP. I got 3 of them... but now I see that one Polish consists way more than the MRE! ;D Now I know why for years U.S allies were so happy to exchange it ;D
Well. Friends told me when that when they didn't get fresh food on their deployment they were eating US MRE first xD
That's interesting. This Polish ration sure looked heartier than the US MREs we were given during the hurricane Rita aftermath. I would've gladly traded, if I had any Polish allies back then.

Ain't no secret anymore. Poland has the best food. Even polish soldiers are having spoiled tongues.

I’ve had one of these. Back when we traded MREs with the polish army. Absolutely loved it.
Of course this sausage tastes like like kielbasa. In polish sausage means kielbasa. So in a matter of fact all the sausage in Poland is kielbasa 😀
I don't know, what about parówki or kabanosy. I wouldn't call them 'kielbasa'.
You mean "Kabanosy" or "Parówki"?
Kabanosy are a kind of Kiełbasa/sausage. Parówki are not a kind of sausage at all.

Emmy, the fruit bar you're eating at 18:43 is called obleas in México but in stead of eating them with fruit in the middle, we have them with Cajeta which is like a milk caramel candy. The outside is a very thin wafer and definitely edible
The paper on the fruitbar is called 'eetpapier' in dutch, wich translates to 'eat paper' like edible paper. It's candy sold in the Netherlands in many different flavors. It's also de base of a 'kokosmakroon' wich is a coconut cakelike pastrie. Eetpapier is sweet and dissolves in your mouth the second you touch it, but it stays firm when no liquid is involved. A good way to prevent sticky hands when eating a kokosmakroon. :)
they use something very similar for nougat! sardinian nougat is very sticky and gooey when it's fresh so it's a godsend
And in polish it's called "opłatek" - made from wheat flour and water - it may be flavored and eated as a snack ;w; I still remember that i got them in mine school canteen
Edgyedgelord I see, never knew that
Here in México, we call them "Oblea" ❤️ sometimes they are stuffed with "Dulce de leche" or "Cajeta"
In German it's " Ess-papier " or " Oblaten "
I just love how she gets so excited over the food😅😍 she is adorable lol
Dinner means the biggest meal of the day. In the US it's often in the evening. Supper is derived from Soup. Big meal early in the day makes sense if you are doing heavy work (marching under load, digging, etc.).

Finally Polish rations :) You're also welcome to visit Poland for more delicious food :)
I was a Marine platoon commander in Vietnam 68-69. We had C-Rations that came in a cardboard box. I don't remember everything that was in it but each box came with a "Heavy" and a "lite" which referred to a large can and a small can. The large can could be beans and franks, ham and lima beans, beef slices with potatoes, spaghetti and with balls, and maybe one or two other meals. The small can could be a slice of beefsteak, turkey loaf, chopped ham and eggs, or ham slices.
A box would also have a can of bread such hardtack biscuits and sometimes a bread backed into the can. And there would be a dessert in a medium can such as pound cake, fruitcake, or fruit cocktail in a large can (if you had fruit cocktail then you always had a small can of meat like above). There was never two large cans or two small cans in a ration.
There was also a very small can of cheese which I found to be uneatable and sometimes peanut, and a small can of jam.
There was an accessory pack with gum, a small pack of cigarettes, powdered cocoa or coffee, a piece of candy, sugar, salt and pepper, powdered creamer, matches, heat tabs (no stove--you made your own out of one of the small cans) and toilet paper that was completely useless during the monsoon season.
There were so many preservatives in the food that we joked that if we got killed we would already be embalmed, saving the morgue some extra work.
In general, everything tasted terrible except the turkey loaf, beefsteak slices, and ham slices. Every other kind of meat / beans was unpleasant and consumed only because it was the only thing you had to eat. The bread wasn't too bad and the dessert wasn't that bad either.
We tried a lot of ways to improve the taste. Might add the powdered coffee to beans and franks, mash in the pound cake to the ham and lima beans, mix in some peanut butter to the beef slices and potatoes, but the most effective way was to chop up one wild pepper that were about the size of a fingernail and mix it in. These were the hottest peppers I've ever had. One small piece would make your eyes water, nose run, lips burn, and cheeks numb.
C-Rations came in various combinations and the one I described was the one I most often had in Vietnam.
Technically, each Marine rated three C-Rations a day. However, the area we operated in made being resupplied unpredictable due to the enemy threat, weather, and mountainous terrain. During my time in Vietnam, I don't remember getting more than one C-Ration a day and because resupply was unpredictable, that one ration usually had to last 2-3 days. Typically, we had a "Heavy" or "Lite" in the morning and the remaining can the next morning. Everything else we stretched out for a long as possible. I always saved a few small cans of peanut butter and some jam to keep my energy up between resupplies.
C-Rations were fairly heavy and bulky and ammunition was far more important than food and so it was good that we only had to carry one ration for a couple of days.
The biggest problem was water. There was no such thing as bottled water in the field nor was there a way to effectively helicopter in potable water. So we filled canteens with whatever was available such as catching rain, a stream, local wells, and as a last resort rice paddy water. Except for the rain, all other sources were polluted and would make you very sick and it usually stunk. We'd put three times the number water purification tablets in the canteen to try to kill whatever was swimming round.
After I retired from the Marines in 1989, I ended up as an independent consultant supporting US military exercises for Special Forces and the Army around the world. That's when I was introduced to MREs which were a 100 times better than the C-Rations in Vietnam.
The Polish rations look even better than the MREs.
Polish food rations are the best, traditional Polish food is great too and Polish soldiers are also great, the best. Greetings from Poland 😊🇵🇱💂🎖️

She was born near the Polish/Ukrainian border, as was her husband, my late paternal grandfather. He had a Polish surname, and had Ukrainian in him, and probably Russian in him too. My late maternal grandmother was born in Canada, but had parents who were from Czechoslovakia, which are now two separate countries. I love the food from these countries. It is really good.
@@dwaynewladyka577 thanks for sharing I need to try polish dishes now 😍
My mum's mum was born in Warsaw to a Polish dad and a half-Polish, half-Austrian mother. Her mother was culturally Polish, but the fact that she could speak German is what allowed her and my grandmother to survive the war. My mum's dad was born in Lwów, modern-day Ukraine, to a Polish mother and a Swiss German father. His father's family, again, was culturally Polish. They'd been living in the area for generations. Soon after the start of the war, they were all sent to a work camp in Kazakhstan and remained there until Russia switched sides, at which point they were released and my grandfather, at the age of 16, joined the Polish army. After the war, both my mum's parents ended up in the UK. They met in London, where my mum and her sister were eventually born.
