    canned fish, in the mackerel case, not heated in the fire, the fish is already cooked before packaging, which has made when heated, is saturating oil and remove nutrients that oil that comes in the package is for keep, regarding the lentils with chorizo, here in Spain, add bacon for flavor

    Hey Gundog! Yes, and I felt like Scrooge McDuck swimming through a pile of 'sport crack' and 'camu crack' tabs instead of coins. I did actually down the Vitamin C tab, but it quickly went from a slight taste of orange to a sprint to the sink. That part didn't make the cut. It's fascinating to experience radically new tastes. I wonder if lentils, sausages and lard(!) is a Spanish staple?

    Now now Kiwi, we can't have alcohol in a combat zone. Though it is technically plausible. Some Japanese scientists have developed powdered alcohol. Sounds odd I know but how it works is a type of sugar-like powder that is highly absorbent. Alcohol molecules are trapped in the powder and prevents it from evaporating. The bulk of most alcoholic drinks is water. So add water and you've got alcohol. From what I've read, I believe it will work best with cocktails. Like an orange with vodka. Though beer is plausible too. Malt extract, hops extract but how to make it fizzy?

    Strange how you can almost tell what countries are communist, socialist and capitalist just by looking at their combat meals. Capitalist meals come with a larger variety and are most times branded and/or packaged by a corporation in the private sector. Socialist seems to have less branding, and communist seems to be produced entirely by the government (who own all means of production, etc.) Thanks for the videos! Looking forward to more.

    Yeah, both meals, lentils with sausage and that fish (caballa), are quite typical in Spain ( probably they are more common in the central and northern parts of the country ). I used to eat both of them cold, as IMHO they taste better that way ( besides we were given only a few min for meal ). In any case, we were usually issued a big pack that contained breakfast, lunch and dinner boxes; which was kind of an overkill as you could easily make one last for an entire day. Inside each of the breakfast boxes you could find a big pack of crackers that could last for a few days ( besides a tube of delicious condensed milk ), that's why the lunch and dinner boxes don't have any additional crackers. To tell you the truth, to me they tasted better than the meals from the field kitchen.

    Interesting way of using our rations :D As many others have said, the mackerel, tuna, anchovies, sardines and others are eaten at room temperature. The olive oil is always a hint for that: Think salad ;) It's strange that they used sausage for chorizo in the translation. Hard sausage maybe, or just chorizo, since it's international enough, like pepperoni. The pig fat in there makes the whole mix a quite "hot" casserole and it should be good energy, specially in colder days. And yes, building the stove properly helps, but there's always the option of using bigger ones :D Extra tabs are good to keep around (properly labeled) for trips. Fun to watch! Thanks!

    Ok,a lot of spanish people have already told you that you are supposed to eat the canned mackerel (caballa) cold,but i want to tell you about that "apple cream" thing,mainly becouse i already watched a couple of other mre ations reviewers (you are all friends apparently) and none of you got that right. That "apple cream" its no cream at all,in Spain we call that "membrillo" and its not a cream nor a sauce,i think quince jelly is the proper term in english and its made from a fruit by the same name (quince\membrillo),its not ment to be spread (like butter) but its supposed to be eaten "as is",usually we pair it with some good soft cheese,its very,very tasty,but that would be the civilian "high quality" thing not the military "built to last" variant, We serve it in a rather big "slab",much bigger than that ration,you cut small,slim pieces and eat it with bread or cheese,its a very traditional food in Spain,there are many variations and flavors.
