Little about the salty milk tea, it's a practical choice due to Mongolia's harsh climate. The salt helps replenish electrolytes lost through sweating in the extreme cold, aiding in hydration. Additionally, the tea contains fat from the milk, which provides energy and helps combat the cold weather. Culturally, it's also a significant beverage in Mongolia. It's often served to guests as a sign of hospitality and is deeply ingrained in social customs, being enjoyed in both everyday life and during special occasions. The secret to make really good milk tea is to basically add more milk than the water for me :)) I randomly came across this video and thoroughly enjoyed this.

i am mongolian, and i must say, piece of toilet paper was hilarious. like i could totally see that in my minds eye. an elderly woman packing items in a bag and cuts off like four pieces of toilet roll hahahahahaha. anyways, other than that, all of the items are already commercially available. Combined, they will cost about 20 bucks not more. but then again, you shipped it all the way from Mongolia so extra probably went to shipping.

Hi . Never thought I would see a Mongolian ration. Epic ! Even here in the UK , Sea Buckthorn is not readily available as it is foraged from coastal areas. Not a commercial crop . Unusual to see it as a drink. Great review. Well done. Keep it up . Ian . (22 years British army)

There's sea buckthorn growing in town. I'll have to try some :)

Sea buckthorn is not only a food , but is used in the east for its medical properties for the skin , like rashes , etc. I have a buckthorn cream from Russia , it actually works well . The milk in Mongolia is primarily from horses . Goes back to nomadic times . Good find !

The milk in Mongolia is primarily from cows man. Horse milk is very sweet and most people's even urban Mongolians stomach is not ready for the first time. It will give lot of running time to WC which would not be the ideal for all things military imo. Then when you ferment the horse milk there comes the good stuff.

@galsaa0705

Oh yeah, horse milk can be acquired during summer time only except for few provinces so it makes it even more rare than cows milk

Just found your channel today. When I woke up this morning I had no idea that before the day was over I would watch a half hour video on Mongolian MRE's. But I'm glad I did. You do a great job here.

Yeah, looks like KZread recommendations did us a solid today. 😉

This is one of the best military ration videos I’ve ever watched! I love how you move along quickly.

I’m surprised the mains got through. My last three overseas MRE’s were pilfered by customs. They kept all my mains claiming they violated some sort of pork and bovine meat law. No more foreign orders for me.

Great video. The Mongolian border protection ration I reviewed, wasn't split up into 4 packages like yours and some of my items were taken by customs 😞 I still can't get used to the taste of the milk tea, but overall a great ration. All the best 🙂👍

Very interesting. Never seen a Mongolian MRE before! Thumbs up for you!

I'm glad to see such a big smile on your face after trying everything that ration had to offer! 😁Though I was behind the camera when I did my review I'm pretty sure that I wore a similar expression...definitely one of the more interesting rations I've ever had. I'm sure the Mongolian Border Troop ration I have will give me a repeat experience. Great video!!! Cheers!

Yay another ration review 🙃 keep up the good work brother! Thank you for all the hard work you put into making these for us

I've never seen a Mongolian ration reviewed before. Amazing review! :)

My first time seeing your channel. You do a great job! I really enjoyed it!

Great review!

Very interesting ration!! Looked really good! I'd love the burnt bits. Milk tea was interesting. And the horse meat is something I'd love to try. Awesome review RR!!!

Can we please acknowledge the fact that you broke the spoon on soft butter? 😂

Your setup is impressive. Love the background. Subbing and sticking you right next to Steve.😊

My first watch of one of your videos. Well presented and you know your stuff. Those hard candies all have “caramel” in Cyrillic on the wrapper.

Nice video, I've had British, American, Latvian and Dutch rations before but I've never had a Mongolian one. I love mre's, this looks like a good one especially for a horse meat lover like myself. You got a sub from me

What an interesting MRE. As you were reading over the contents of several of the entrees, I was taken back to my days in the military and traveling to various countries around the world while in the Navy. The food from third-world cultures can be off-putting if you do not keep an open mind. My buddies thought I was totally nuts because, no matter where we were, I would try the local cuisine. Some things were great, some were good, and others would elicit nightmares and bouts of digestonal distress. You don't know if you don't try. Great job, God bless brother.

Great review! Glad I happened on your channel.

Dude knows his berries! I think your best stuff is MRE tasting vids. Good job.

Very cool RR. Rare indeed! I love seeing different components. Breakfast main reminds me of Kasha. Canned sausage at lunch is different. Crispy bits are awesome in the kasha. By Dinner, I do see several duplicates, but that is common on most rations. Juice looks awesome. The milk I couldn't do, I'm lactose intolerant. All else would be fair game. Nicely done friend. Peace from Ky. John.

Excellent Review buddy...

Very interesting ration & smashing review.

Word my brother .. awesome video

I’d probably starve That day. lol. Just found your channel. Love it. I’ll definitely be back.

Great review

Sea buckthorn (Hipphophae rhamnoides) is a thorny tree commonly found in Asia and Europe. Parts of the sea buckthorn tree have long been used in herbal medicine and cosmetics. The tree is thought to have medicinal properties, leading many people to use sea buckthorn in interesting ways, including jams, pies, and drinks.

a mongolian MRE is not one I thought to see.. great review

Now I need to research Mongolian Milk Tea!

Good morning from the Great State of Texas. I like the way this mre is set up with each meal in its own bag.. Does Steve know you have his tray? lol Have a good day and Happy New Year

I like the self lighting esbit…I’ve never seen that before but it’s an idea whose time has come

I'd love to try those beverages and that strawberry jam.

I like how you made it your food for the day and told us about how it would be to do that

The Mongolian that put that together seems to have a pretty solid understanding of good nutrition, especially for people under stress and heavy physical demand. Unlike the seed-oil forward soyslop of your more western rations.

And luv how you coming up in the views and subscribers

I always watch Nathan or Steve do MREs. I just caught yours. I have a store in Cincinnati but it's like 4 hours away but I went there once called jungle Jim's. And they have the largest international store inside the place in the world I think or in the country. So I went cuz I was curious. They have almost every country in there. They could buy that type of food of those countries. So I think it was Germany and Russia. Maybe they had like patties. I was excited. Because watching. Steve all these years and the MREs So it was cool to buy those like the one you have and they were very very good. My girlfriend's daughter is in the Air Force and she got me a MRE so that was cool. Have been trying to look for some. But your video is pretty good so far. I believe this is the second video and not too bad

Steve would be so proud :)

How I miss Mongolia haven’t been there since 2018 ,and it’s food.

The candle is actually a great idea. Candles are a great fire starter and survival tool. If it’s made of tallow (animal fat) the candle can also be eaten.

Love your videos man. I have to say you sound like the health inspector on bobs burgers.

in mongolia its normal for the milk tea to have a savory flavor there is variants where it sweet but most commonly served savory

Thats a lot of food, i think they may get bored of the repeats but it certainly wont leave you feeling hungry.

Thank you for your service!

That made me hungry. I'll sometimes make Mongolian-like greasy rice and ginger meats for a hearty sweet and spicy flavor. Salted milk tea is a nice night time beverage.

Adding sugar to Mongolian milk tea is indeed a cardinal sin :P It is easy to make milk tea. It is usually cooked this way: 1. Roast millet (or other kind of grains) in ghee. 2. Add water and add tea leaves or pouch (green or black, Georgian green tea really popular) 3. Bring to boil, and take out tea leaves or pouch 4. Add equal parts or more whole milk. 5. Bring to boil. 6. Add salt. 7. Drink.

That sausage looks similar to "Banner Sausage" I bought on Amazon. Not very "sausagey", more like vaguely pork flavored potted meat.

When you said let’s try a random piece of mystery meat, a Tyson foods ad about their boneless chicken wings played. Kind of funny.

I think if I had to live on those MREs, I'd end up using the milk tea powder as seasoning for the food.

You caught me on guard. When you said this was your most expensive MRE. Not saying $100 is cheap lol. I thought it was going to be something crazier. I want it spend $100 lol if less I have a channel and it pays me lol

Very Russian like but also Mongolian to. Awesome!!!

The Candy Wrapper says Caramel in Mongolian; but @ 22:32 we see it's Hard Candy made from Cattle & Lamb Liver etc ! IMO, the Butter can be used to flavor the blander Entrees. And those Heat Tabs with built-in Matches, are INGENIUS !

A very sound evaluation.

What do you think about the Sapakco mres ?

You could’ve put the lunch sausage into the peppery main and allowed the flavours to meld.

nICE.

100 Dollars (or even half of it, if the shipping was so expensive) is just a very high price for a 24 hour one soldier ration, especially when their BIP per person is less than a tenth of that in the US! It would be interesting to know, what it really would cost for the military!

Did you really use that rule tab inside to heat up that ration? Those things are so foul. How long did it take to air out your place?

I'll give ya a like and a comment for the Al Gore Rhythm.

I am not a fan of Russian rations because i don't like liver at all , but i do see a few things i would like to try !!

Jam and butter, made in Mongolia, printed (mostly) in English.

You should’ve stirred the butter through the mains it would’ve made them a bit tastier, a bit creamier and smoother

horsemeat in the ingredients ... thats just great

Horsemeat is very commonly eaten in mongolia and central asia

Esbit / hex stove use indoors is not recommended Your sacrifice is appreciated but unnecessary

Looking at the fat in the lunch pate, I wonder if it would cook up well on the esbit stove? Granted, it would depend on if container could be heated up on a direct flame.

Great review, MRE is well suited for Mongolians, as you see there is no coffee or any fancy stuff.

the Milk tea is drank salty and you should have added the butter cream to it.

What is in Mongolian milk tea? Made from milk steeped with green tea and toasted millet,

You should try the Philippine Armed Forces MREs, i heard they are delicious n tasty. I just dont know where you can possibly get it but maybe there is someone from your subscribers who knows.

Horse meat is great. It's like leaner beef that costs a third of the price of beef. I used to eat it often as a kid but than the horse meat scandal blew up and people stopped eating it and now it's hard to get.

Dont use fuel tablets inside! The fumes are verry toxic. We have a lot of russians here in Germany and i absolutely love their food. Russian and mongolian food is verry similar. We have this orange fruit syrup in Germany too. We call it "Sanddorn". It is verry healty.

Expected Mongolian BBQ.

They must have a hell of a cavalry by now.

Its a suppository with a long fuse. 🎉😊

Nice hiss

Triangle rice - that's probably buckwheat because buckwheat is shaped like three sided pyramids. Buckwheat is high in fiber and other nutrients, but it's low in calories and lower in protein than white wheat.

2:13 That "three" would have sure changed the plot of inglourious basterds, haha!

Three meals in one's day, life can be cruel.

I think you’re meant to burn the bottom end of the candle for a minute and then stick it to a flat surface, before lighting the top.

I'm guessing mare's milk, yak (or horse) roast, stone stuffed marmot, bear paws, camel yogurt, yak or camel jerky, curded camel milk, goat kabob's, steamed sheep meat and boiled intestines soup.

Surprised to see a fellow Yank down horsemeat without crying lol. I'm a convert after coming to Japan and eating it raw myself. It's a great lean meat comparable to venison imo.

Yeah but in the mountains you need a lot of calories. Need to keep the calories up to the environmental expenditure. Otherwise, you run down.
