Dutch MRE Review | NETHERLANDS Armed Forces Ration TASTE TEST 24 Hour | Military Meal Ready to Eat
We are taking a look at a Dutch, Kingdom of the Netherlands Armed Forces, 24 Hour Modular Combat Ration. Impressive would be an understatement in describing this European contemporary to the U.S. MRE or Meal Ready to Eat. I don't think I've encountered a ration meal yet with as many drink items as this one contained. As a whole it was well-thought-out and quite comprehensive, not to mention tasty to boot. This is one of the most difficult to obtain military rations I've had the pleasure of reviewing and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do so without a very generous friend and viewer sending it my way.
Thanks for watching!
Huge thanks to Sunshine SideofLife77 for sending me this awesome ration. Check her channel out here- / @sunshinesideoflife7710

Ha! Me too 🤔
actually we do have flameless ration heaters, but they are not included in the ration. they are transported seperately because its logistically easier. (chemicals, permits airfreight etc.) Those mess tin are only still use in cold weather enviroments i believe with naphtha burners
What a treat of a 24 hour ration! This ration community rocks. Such a fantastic gift , sunshine always finds a way to spotlight greatness.

if the drink is caked like the orange lemonade then add a splash of hot water to melt and dissolve the drink mix then stir after dissolved you can add the cold water.
Great review, i like how you actually eat more then one mouthful of the mains unlike other reviewers. Dutch ration looks really good hopefully one day can get my hands one. 😊

Long time since I was in the Dutch military and the MRE's definitely have changed for the better. You can stretch this one over 48 hours easily. I like the spicy stuff they put in there. These aluminium messtins are good but the newer ones in stainless steel even better. I still use them in the field even direct on an open fire.
Yeah the Dutch do 24 hour ration packs well. They are pricey but never disappoint Thanks for the review

its a scam really, its just a bunch of off the shelf snacks stuffed in a zip lock. its all sugar no fats, these arnt field rations or mre, its a extended snack packet for a hike
Very cool RR ! Nicely done Rachael. That is one of the largest 24 Hr. rations, I have ever seen. Now, how do you sort and divide all of that? We shall see your choices. Breakfast menu looks solid. Good job at mixing components. Lunch looks just as good. Dinner looked good as well. Very nice, 24 hr. ration. Glad you enjoyed. Peace, John.
you are sooooo underrated!

Another excellent review! That dinner portion looked especially fantastic. What about putting the creamer in with the cocoa? Would it have made it creamier?

That would have been a really nice add actually. I put a coffee in with the other cocoa and that was really good too.
Its funny but most of the dutch ration can be bought at local supermarkets . Like the jams , pates and even the travel lunches.And for a long time you could get those oldfashioned tins with emergency rations. There are a few different compositions as well , like cold weather suplements those are realy masive . When i was in the dutch navy we often made jokes about them on how on earth would be able to fight if we spend most of the time eating.

I think mixing that hot coffee with at muesli would be pretty good
Cheesy milky…..that scares me great review
In order to make and great flavor, use citric acid to apple juice, and tell me what flavor it is??
These are the older generation, we have newer ones today. The content is mostly the same though. I personally am a fan of the Dutch mountain/artic rations, they have 5000+ calories and freeze dried mains, the mains are really good. I do not like most of the flameless heater main courses

It means something like 'from the Ardennes' or 'Ardennes style'. The Ardennes is an area the south of Belgium/northern part of France. It's where the battle of the bulge took place.
