Paté is basically a spread maybe like liverwurst/leberwürst. In most situations you spread it on bread or toast. On a battle field you probably need to shove it in your face and carry on. No need for niceties there...

Basically ground meat that could thrown in a tin can, pretty good on bread. No need for butter. But in their case its probably a cracker or just get it inside as fast as possible yeah. Don't use your finger or it will smell like the stuff for the next few days xD

My experience with these is as follows: Day one: Damn these taste pretty good! Day four: I would like to be unalived.

Coffee + sugar + milk (creamer)✔ Tea + sugar✔ oatmeal + sugar✔ Toast with peanut butter + sugar✔ Toast + Pathé ✔ Toast + Chocolate ✔ Beef soup and the tomato soup + pepper and salt. The pasta + seasoning✔ and the Curry + sambal✔ Those are the most common combinations we Dutch eat. Also the pindakaas (peanut butter) is more energy than only the small peanut bag. I only mis the Dutch cheese in the survival kit🤣

Boullion is really great. Mix the powder in warm water and drink, lots of umami. Good for cold days.

Good for summer when you sweat a lot as well.

Porridge is nice with sugar sprinkled on it or use chocolate spread or peanut butter or fruit.

Beef bouillon, the definitive US Army sustenance in WW1. You missed an opportunity there. Perfect in a camp cold trench in the same way a British soldier would want a "hot wet". Oxo cubes (beef stock) were also seen in old British rations I think.

I must confess when I left the army i gave my friend 10 packs of biscuits brown (32 years ago) he proceeded to eat the lot, he might have laid a log cabin by now.

7:55 Vitamin D is essential for our bones and muscles and generally helps to keep our immune system up. Naturally, we synthesize vitamin D through sunlight that hits our skin. I'm guessing these tablets are kind of important when the troops fight more northside where there is generally way less sun, even during summer season.

Pate is usually spread on bread or great with Melba toast there and great with some Red or White wine too

Porridge, I think, is the first thing the US Army Rangers met at the original commando training school in Scotland after an 8 mile march from the rail station. They weren't pleased. Best get to like it, though - that's all there is

The orange tea isn't really the orange part you normally eat but the shell (that we normally throw away). Really low taste but together with normal (normally British style) tea, definitely a good flavor.

Wow these MRE's have changed since the last time I had them in the field (2017), the packaging of most of the stuff has changed and the mains are now in retort pouches. They used to be in tin cans before and tasted like crap. However, I still don't understand why don't add any flameless ration heaters...

My favourite orange tea is "Twinings Mandarin & Honeybush" its deffinetly worth a try 👍

"It's pretty hard to mess up pasta". You'd be surprised.

Holy crap!!!😂😂😂😂 "Its like youre drinken hot water, and someone next to you is drinking real coffee"😂😂

We call Arizona ice tea so I'm not surprised that they taste alike.

Very good video layout.Keep it up.

Let get this out on a tray

4:38 well made and seasoned tomato soup is the bomb! awesome video btw :)

Best to eat the oatmeal with the cacao powder and then pour some hot water in

Tip: add the italian herbs to the porridge for an even weirder thing lol . And u gotta add the sambal to the indian dish

This would last me for 48 hours at least. They sure look better than the Dutch MRE's I had when in the military. MRE's are always a bit middle of the road tasting since there are picky eaters but I like the fact that they do put some spicy and herbs stuff in there.

pate is mainly eaten on toast or crackers here in the netherlands :)

Best small unit tactics books

The bouillon is what you add to the hot water to make a soup. I usually only add it before i make chicken soup. You can also just drink it like that like some kind of tea.

Bro believe me that instant coffee taste good asf in the fields.. i can tell 🤣

Two packs of coco, two packs of coffee, two packs of sugar, and a pack of creamer, hot water, shake that shit up and you got a banger.

I just was rewatching the other mre you tried last year I think it was

Have you ever gotten to try a Chinese, African, or Indian ration? I believe you used to be stationed in Korea, so you’ve no doubt tried Korean rations (I’m guessing).

My favorite ration is the canister filled with frikandellen or kroketten.

I always have ration 6, i like it the most. Especially the fruit muesli. And sometimes I am lucky to have another one with oreos and sometimes there is a bag with 2 energy cans in. Red flavoured red bull for the Air Assault and a Monster.

We drink a lot of ice tea here. When i was in the states i asked for an ice tea and i got literally ICE tea. Just cold tea lol

As a Dutchman myself a Dutch army friend of mine who had been in Afghanistan told me that this ration packet was rather popular over there and lots of trading happened between them and the US troops.. The Havermout / Oatmeal if you heat it and mix some sugar trough it some even used 2 of them, with some stirring you make the taste better and thicken it up a bit, also make it taste a bit sweeter, however some tend to let it sit for a few min so it can thicken during the stirring. (Nice to eat when you wake up, but its not for everyone). The Raspberry Oatmeal if you will is the same, nice for in the morning or depending when you wake up and all that. The Pasta and the Rice and Chicken combi is mostly for in the Afternoon or Evening meal, these were often traded depending on if you stayed on base or were often outside of it. sometimes troops would do some games and small competitions against echother for them. Also for the Rice Chicken one the sambal was often used as well, mainly for those used to spicy stuff and Surinamese or Indonesian back grounds, so US troops from Mexican decent and such often like to get it trough trading from those that did not like the sambal or spicy things. the 2 Pate's are mainly a spread, there easily used often over here in the Netherlands on bread, just like the chocolate paste. and it goes well with the bread, crackers and such stuff, also often traded with US troops to bring some flavour to your biscuits or what its called. The rest is just a mix and match kinda stuff, the rest of the sugar was often used for the coffee or the tea's. Anyway thats what my buddy told me, if the trading is true or not I do not know but I like to believe it did.

V8? Never heard of. Cool-Aid powder however... Had many rations from several nations during my deployment in Bosnia 1994. The Canadian rations were quite good, althought still prefered the "old Dutch rations" which came in a box and 2 tins of 400gr. each which you had to heat up with kind of compressed fuel blocks called "esbit". Thanks for your vids, love watching them and keep up the good work!

Broo got the ice tea, its so hard to get haha

vitamin d you get from sunlight, further away from the equator the harder it is to get the rda especially in the winter. (low vit d can contribute to getting ms, as I sadly found out first hand)

The Rona haha

Add the Coffee and the Sugar to the porridge.

v8 isnt really the top of the pack of tomato drinks, but if you put in some hot sauce it makes it a lot more palatable lol

Oatmeal (havermout) is best eaten unprocessed with cold yogurt, apple and a little cinnamon. Oatmeal has slow carbohydrates and is better for your digestion and blood sugar than the cruesli stuff.

The best thing is if you put the coffe and chocolade milk together

What site do you use to purchase your MREs? I'm thinking about buying some but theirs so many options aha

Yes we do drink a lot of iced tea.

When it comes to V8 I really only like their berry and fruit flavors, but I choose other drinks and juices over V8 most of the time, so.

Try a South African Ration :) 🇿🇦

Yeah bro we like ice tea its pretty good

Paté needs to be put onto the crackers. Only way to eat them, like a spread.

Haha, pate on crackers👌🏽

If you eat all those cookies is one go good luck using a toilet for a week

Its pronounced like bouyon, ill… in french is like a y in english and thats broth btw.

Weird about that coffee ususaly the coffee is decent , and strong flavoured . I know we had dutch brands. that suplied instant coffee , and they are good. they must have put some old stock in there or have a new suplier,

Havermout means oatmeal

Pate is definitely to spread on the crackers ;)

You could mix the two cereals together, then split back into two, add hot or cold water, enjoy:) Sometimes with the hot meals add a little extra hot water so that the meat chunks have a bit more liquid to absorb, The ‘toothbrush’ we find them in service station bathrooms, you just pop them in your mouth and roll them around, no good trying to use your fingers.

Boullioun is just the meat version of tomato soup.

This is a dutch mre cold weather. This mre it have more calories than de normal mre. And the meals are freeze-dried. Normal mre has this warm meals with heathing backs same like the american mre. And the not includ the backs with nuts. This mre is standard issue for the korps marniers in norway How are training there.

I always mixed the two breakfast things 2x a half package (porridge and the muesli). Sometimes add a little choco flavour to it with the cacoa powder. Taste less worse. And we always add hot water to the diner packages. Then it will still cook a little

What a waste, maybe he should get his kids to do the MRE reviews, probably be less face pulling

6:32 that’s what she said

Is it bad I'd prefer this to our MREs? This unironically doesn't sound as shit. I'm not giving up shredded beef in barbecue sauce though.
