Trying Korean, Russian, and American MREs

No matter where you are in the world, no matter who you are, you need food to survive, that's the truth. There are some people who claim that they can get by just by breathing energy. I don't know, but yes. I would rather just eat if I had to choose between getting my energy from breathing it like plants or eating plants. I would rather eat plants specifically in can form with green beans either way, this is a long way to go to a Soldiers need food when there are soldiers in the field there are no apple trees to pick there is no grocery store you can't order a pizza when You're in the middle of a war zone, okay?

What you need is what is called mre, which I think means ready-to-eat food, but I'm sure there are different varieties. This probably should have been more dramatic. Rachel, you make this more dramatic anyway. There is a lot of technology involved in this. a surprising amount because lady number one has to be food ready to eat us government property commercial resale is illegal how to do this commercial resale is illegal I got this from a soldier, he said he fell off the back of a truck, it wasn't commercial was illegal so I actually have a few different varieties of this, we have chicken pieces, we have tuna pieces, lemon pepper packed in water and we have elbow macaroni and tomato sauce, not what I expected to come after the elbow macaroni, this is going to be a review of you choose your own adventure where you can choose if you want the chicken pieces comment if you want the tuna pieces add this video to your favorites remember when that was a thing that is one thing uh if you want the macaroni with elbow in tomato sauce subscribe if you want the meat ravioli in meat sauce press the button like comment favorite subscribe like okay, now we are tabulating your results oh yeah, I did it, uh ravioli meat and meat sauce so I've never actually had a mre before I bought them casually just because I was curious but I never actually ate them because I wasn't brave enough or I forgot and they just rotted which is weird because I don't I think these things are assumed. it rots, I think these things are supposed to last a long time, that's the strange thing about food, right, some foods you get and they immediately become non-food, like you get them even in your refrigerator, there's no food, but there are other foods. you put that in the pantry, not the refrigerator, it will stay as food for a long time if you get this, although it will stay as food forever, okay, they have a caveman soldier that they dig up and eat and it's like, oh, food still , what is that food still like, do you know that food spoils?

Sometimes, but the food doesn't go well all the time. I'm going to try this. I'm most excited about the flameless heater on this thing. Oh, it looks like a medical bag. I've never seen a medical bag before, but that's what it smells like. I bought this. also because on the back of the truck I bought it from the soldier who gave me this it said non-commercially that people frequently buy this together and I thought that sounds pretty good to me anyway I better hurry how long has it been oh that? It's a good spoon without a fork, although I don't know why it couldn't have been a fork, but this is just I guess if you know you're at war and you're in the middle of a meal, you'll want to really like it. fight so you know this could definitely work as a weapon, don't overfill it, that's right, this needs water, military rations are a good performance food, food gives you energy, the more energy you burn, the more food you need, You are most active during field training deployment and combat. that in garnish you need to eat more and drink more water or other fluids in these situations, when you do not eat enough, you exceed your body's energy needs, you lose weight, this can cause a bottle of body fluids and degrade your performance on the field.

I need three meals a day one ready to eat meal contains 1200 calories hot drink bag a bag for my drinks I don't know if I'm going to need this but I'm going to save that for a second everyone wait I'm going to get a big cup of water. I have water. Well, I don't actually know how to do any of this. These are meat ravioli. Chocolate, banana and walnut muffin. Top Tooth. Chocolate and banana muffin. Well, that's good cheese spread and white wheat bread. I don't know why I hesitated to open it. I love that they shaped it like a loaf.

I mean, it's bread, but I love that they shaped it into a bread. I know there was probably some psychological analyst who said, "Hey, the soldiers will love this even more." They get a little morale boost if it looks like a slice of bread they bought at the grocery store, a reminder of what they're fighting for, or a very wide penis. Well, bread, bread, do I need more water? I don't know, that's a lot of bags. I'm just going to say that out loud, that's a lot of bags. The vapors released by the activated heater contain hydrogen.

A flammable gas. Do not place an open flame on the vapor vapors released by the activated heater can displace oxygen when 10 or more heaters are used inside a vehicle or shelter make sure the ventilation system is working or an overhead hatch or water leak in the door area can burn and cause injury in cold weather be careful if you carry the rocker and pocket activated after heating the warmer bag and the bag plus will be very hot, be careful when removing the bag plus from the bag, discard the heater and the bag after using them, do not drink the water left in the bag or use it on foods that the Hell, what do you think?

Here are the complicated instructions. That's cool to you, uh, I'm going to improvise. How many soldiers did they say? Open it, these are the ravioli and then I put water up to the fill line. I lean the heater against a rock. or something that can't be put against a rock or something I don't know, put it against a rock or something like that, what do I have? That's something I don't know, okay, let's go for it, honey, I'm not here to hang around. I'm here to eat, don't overfill it, I overfilled it, oh, I overfilled it, put it back, but oh, they said not to drink it, I overfilled it, then I'll get more water, hold it up mre put on the sleeve, okay, I have it up. against the rock or something, so I appreciate, by the way, that it takes a lot of effort to do this so that the soldiers can have a hot meal, which psychologically is very important if I imagine going a long time without just a hot meal. that would affect me how long I'm supposed to wait for it, I'll probably know anyway, like a hot meal, you know, people take it for granted, this is a very squashed muffin top, but it smells delicious, well, okay, wait a second, starting to smell no.

Very good turkey nuggets, they look delicious, they look delicious, look, I don't like it, I can smell them through the plastic, probably not a good sign, but well, no, no, I can't open this. I am not a whole. right there's no bacteria going through that so we have the nuggets yeah they smell good ooh yeah oh I remember thanksgiving dinner this is definitely the color of the turkey I remember eating dark meat for me , please, and then cheese spread, which I guess is what it is. on the bread, pepper sauce made with tabat, okay, buddy, tabasco, pepper, tabasco, I thought it looks like it opens, I guess it doesn't open very hard, I think that's it, oh, we have orange water, like this what a tang, I have mentioned the tang a lot. these videos to never really drink tang well, it's an unbeatable sweet, you know what I'm saying, but I like the idea, like powder, drink it in a hey, it tastes good, okay, let's see if the ravioli is ready.

I don't know how to say it, I guess it will feel hot, are you hot? Oh, it's very hot. I don't know if it's ready yet, so I'm going to start with the bread because that's what I opened first, so bread and cheese. The bread first is hard, soft, it doesn't taste much like bread, it has a strange sweetness and I don't like that, it also has a slight flavor. I thought that the bread that I didn't like on the cheese that I didn't like could be combined with something that I like, but it turns out that there are two negative aspects that don't make it positive, in that case let's move on to the dessert first, that's not bad, the banana isn't exactly a banana, he feels like untapped potential, you know, you know, he feels like that kid that was. in school in all the gifted classes and he went to all the exceptional classes and did very well without even

trying

very hard and everyone told the kid: oh hey, someday you're going to do something to me, you're so smart.

You're really smart, you're really doing it, but they never responded to each other after that because they got it in their heads that it wasn't necessary because of all this praise and it got to them and as things got harder, they never really did. . They didn't know how to deal with it because they didn't really know how to push themselves in the first place, they were so used to things coming easy to them to shine and it's not that they've gotten dumber, it's just that their expectations of themselves were so high that They expected to be able to pass with flying colors without any effort, but as things got more difficult and they needed to put in more effort, the effort needed to scale proportionally to where they were and yet they got sidetracked and then they didn't really know what they were doing with their life and they felt like they knew that if they weren't going to make it on the first try, they might as well not try at all and they faded away.

You know, it's not like they liked to end up completely oppressed and they just never took advantage of the potential that was there, but they never acted on it. You know what I mean, hmm turkey, what a pepper you made. I guess so, I need more to make sure. uniform temperature yeah, this is definitely not a uniform temperature, that's for sure, okay, I'm pretty sure I did this wrong, okay, it's supposed to be ravioli, remember that's what it was supposed to be, like this which I must have done something wrong because this didn't heat up evenly, but it looks like ravioli and smells good, still cold like someone's cold, but oh well, much like my green beans, I can eat this right out of the can if I'm eating something from chef boyardee or something.

So, what do I expect when I take this bite, you know, that's not bad, it's not the best in the world, but it's not even close to the worst, it's okay, it tastes normal, if you told me this is out of line . -brand name ravioli in a can, I would believe it and I would be fine with that because it's pretty good, oh that's pretty good, okay I need to clean this because I need to reuse it. I only brought the one I should have brought. more now pretty good that sets the standard pretty low okay you know that's okay I imagine myself in the middle of nowhere I'm hungry I have this to eat it's good it's all in one you have your spoon you have all your things it heats up only if you have a little of water, you're ready, hopefully you have some water, if you don't have water, you have to do it with urine and I don't think that's good for anyone, probably very unpleasant, especially If the smell is not like that, you are in a closed container like he was talking and you don't have ventilation because you can't let anyone know where you are.

You have to do it with urine. I guess it could work. Go. Let someone else try it, but I'm just saying this is what I imagine, okay, but we'll go somewhere else because America is not the only army in the world and all soldiers need to eat at some point. so let's go straight to Russia Russia Russia I can't even come close to reading Russian, so I could do this completely wrong. Also, look how big this thing is, it's huge. Actually, I don't know if this will also have like a flameless heater or things like that, I imagine it will be resealable.

What the hell is this? This is a ziploc. Wow, he's putting this back together. Oh, it's a box. It's probably like four in one. No, no, I just realized that I won't be able to read anything. this so I don't really know what this says you have these things you have apples what is this oh god I don't have to burn it we have this this is going to be a fog this is going to be I'm going to die, we have it's like tea or something, tea bag , tea, we have this thing, we have a meat tub, I think more tub on top, we have a tub of thing, oh, we have a spear, they really do it.

I have one spoon lance I have three spoons can you attach this to your spoon lance? No, I must admit that this spoon is very flimsy. This is nowhere near the kind of punch you can get out of this spoon here. There are some cookies in here, so I'll go ahead and try them as they go. I'm not going to try to expound on this because there is no way I can make these cookies once you get past this. exoskeleton, it's a decent cookie, okay, so I have this strange thing on fire, there is a smell emanating from somewhere, this one has no image, I think it comes from here, like crushed, like with a leak, I don't know if I dress , this is That, oh look, it's like a little, little, little table and, um, I'm thinking it must be solid fuel tablets.

This feels like a bad idea, oh, that feels like a bad idea, so you grab the tub of I guess meat. just try this one, I guess you open it first otherwise it might explode when heated, let's see what happensGoes good, oh oh, that doesn't smell too bad, so I guess you do it, you turn it on and it heats it up nice, this is super stable, I'm going to get the fire extinguisher, just get ready, get ready, I'm going to have a hot meal, okay , here we go, three, two, one. burning real fast I'm back I'm going to place it with a match hit this place it here on its side so it's against it very close at the bottom and then I wait hello, I did it oh, I think I did it Did I, oh did I? do it oh wow that's so cool I'm supposed to like to stir it probably well you know what maybe not that's not exactly stable that's so cool even though it's just a little bit of fire can you smell it the food or the chemical is okay cool should Probably say this: I'm a professional reviewer and I know exactly what I'm doing at all times, so don't do this while this is heating up.

I can always try some of these other things. We have some kind of dried fruit. bar, I hope it's not bad, garlic, apples and so on, I actually like it a lot, I like it a lot more than some of the fruit bars I've tried, I don't know what's in it, maybe not even fruit, but I like it. If I feel like this is some kind of drink mix, definitely some kind of powder, let me have another cup, oh no, what is it, what's up? Yes, I opened the lid, I wasn't supposed to. Oh, I've been ordered not to eat this according to Investigate that I'm doing it completely wrong and apparently it can create some pretty bad things to put inside your body, so I'm not going to eat that, but I'll let it slide because it smells good, it's not good.

I'm assuming this is some kind of drink, if it's not then I'm way off base oh no it's just sugar it's just sugar it's just sugar why would they have just a packet of sugar? Yeah, it has to be a drink mix looks like a drink mix it has to be a drink mix right, that doesn't taste like anything what I just put in my glass I don't know what it is maybe applesauce applesauce maybe oh no oh no what is that what is that what is that what is that what is it what tastes like apples so it's fascinating right it's a very very different approach cooking with an open flame these weird tin things unlike all the plastic bags some pasta some kind of whatever that is no I don't trust the thing it's like none of these are recognizable foods so I don't know what to trust the only thing I recognize is crackers and I think there's something like that in there, I think I would rather try the other cold I think this might be old what is this supposed to be this is another powder how many powders do you need what is this looks like flour what is flour for what is that flower cocaine flour cheese this is weird man this is weird it's weird what is this, it's another powder, it's more cheese, more cheese, no, that's the drink mix.

I'll be back, but that begs the question if that was the drink mix, what the heck did I put in that last glass of water? It's definitely a drink mix, right? it's the flame going out the flames finally dying okay here we go here we go here we go yoinkus doinkus it doesn't smell bad it might be okay let me try the drink mix first it's not as good as the tank I hate to say it but it's not that's cool what is this ? I'm going to try the food, I have an ambulance waiting, it doesn't smell bad, it's hot too.

Hey, that's actually not bad. There is some kind of meat at the bottom. He might be old, who knows. I don't. I know I can hopefully cook the bacteria out, but it seemed to be, oh, I definitely cooked this wrong, I just squished it on the bottom, it burned, but the top layer is fine, very similar to the ravioli and the last, the main dish. The best part is that I'm not even going to bother

trying

this because it's taking me too long and I'm running out of time and I have so many cookies and I can't read it, but I have one better, I think this is over oh oh no oh boy don't tell us everything about this okay I'm going to put a mat here I'm going to put a mat here no one will ever find out okay especially not amy okay cool we're good last but not least maybe less who knows boom the Korean ones so these are the South Korean ones they are smaller I don't think it's going to take that long to go through them it's weird that it's smaller because Korean meals usually have a lot more dishes what's going on here the spoons are oh these are the worst spoons of the bunch oh these spoons are horrible oh they are fragile flames oh they are fragile flames at least not They don't break each other, they are probably just as bad, but ah, at least it's longer, I have to Give it a try, at least it's longer so there's a little more range, I'm fine with that, but these are Korean.

I have young shikhtan so this is another flameless thing that you put water in oh my gosh oh hell yeah it's literally just bibimbap it has like dehydrated rice vegetables of some kind the instructions say you take out the packets and you fill water. to the line, okay, so it's not a flameless thing, you need hot water, cold water, 30 minutes, hot water, 10 minutes, okay, I have hot water, I'm going to add hot water, okay, and now it's 10 to go Minutes on the clock, you know what? What I appreciate most about this is that even if it's a military ration, it still has a lovely little cartoon character so you can smile when you eat, you know, that's what I really like, it's very nice and it's also then kogi , which is beef flavored gochujang, which is chili paste bibimbap, which is if you haven't had bibimbap, I would recommend bibimbap, it's good, so this is the gochujang, this is sesame oil, which is just yeah, anything and look at that easy cut.

I had a great time with all these other easy cuts and this is awesome because I don't know if this is the standard Korean serving, but it's really great because Koreans are known as the masters of side dishes, so I thought the serving could have it and I was surprised when they are so small but it makes sense, it's all in one, the country is very good at making lots of side dishes but they also have this lovely thing called bibimbap and if you eat meat and pop it's basically all the leftovers they had from the food before you get rice, you get bean sprouts, you get some of the vegetables, you put the meat you had last night, you add some gochujang or something like sesame or soy oil. sauce whatever you want and you just call it a bowl and eat it all, it's delicious and warm, too uniformly warm, like very warm, I mean obviously I had to boil my own water so no drink with this, let's be frank, I like it. the taste I didn't like the Russian it was, but it was nice to have a drink, but at the same time it's not necessary, I mean, you're just trying to get a meal, the fact that you can make it with cold water, I can't imagine that It would be so good, but the fact that you can do it with cold water and it takes 30 minutes, you know that's not bad, there goes my time, so it should be done, actually, that smelled good. and that rice was super like it looked like rice, crispy rice but it's actually a little spongy.

What do I have first? Easy cutting. So he says, let's see how easy it would be. It was an easy cut. It was definitely easy. Cut, I like it, okay, and then the gochujang, give it a little flavor. You know, that's the thing about Korean food. You know you had to jump into almost anything. It makes it infinitely better. When in doubt, add heat. Am I right, mom? Am I the spoon right now? Let's see if this is up to par. Oh, it's fine. It works perfectly. It's a little fragile and has negative spots on the spoon, but hey, that's what it does.

It does what it has to do and apparently this. It has 400 calories, I think you are missing out on a good amount of protein, but at the same time it smells good, let's try it, cheers, it's not the best bibimbap I've ever tried, but it's still very good, there are no crackers that make it too be. hard there's no weird pastry that I don't know what it is there's no muffin that's trying to be a muffin it's just food it's good food if it was casually like everyday life knew that I have a package of this I could do it at any time.

In fact, I would buy this. I'm stunned. That's really good about all these Koreans. The best package. You just add water. You only get one spoon. You dig it. Yeah I mean you have your sauces but just spoon water add sauce dig in done easier mess less also no clean up everything else I had a million boxes when it comes to spoons obviously the American spoon is like our cars, you know, too big, too irritable, too angry, but you like it. That's all for these ladies. I know there are many

mres

around the world. I don't know if I'm going to make a video about them, but it was a fun experiment.

It was great. I've never had

mres

before, but I actually guess. At the end of the day, they're just trying to be the best instant food they can and with that being said, I love instant food. Thank you all so much for watching.
