As someone who has tried over 25 different countries military MREs....Polish ones are in the top 3 of best ones...and they still make their own homemade main meals, unlike many of the other countries who now use commercialized companies to supply the main meals (3 different companies provide the meals for over 15 different countries now)... you definitely started off trying the international ones the right way...

@@MeAncient Not sure if you are aware, but trying all the different kinds of MREs and Rations from all over the world became a popular hobby a few years ago..

@@gballs007 Drew, the way I found out about the popularity of MREs is that one day when Ace and I were boat fishing we decided to do a catch and cook. The catch part did not go so well. After we ate the meager catch, I remembered that I had stowed a few old MREs that I had been dragging around from way back in my active duty days. Well, Ace recorded me opening the MRE and trying some (It was a little too old for me to eat all of it, but, as I recall, I did sample everything.) His comment section lit up with people excited about MRE tasting. I never would have thought that MREs would be such a big thing. But that's when I decided that if I ever did start my own channel, I'd try opening up the MREs I had left over from USMC days. Since then, Micah and Ace have both bought me more and I've found a few myself. I've also seen Steve's channel but haven't every watched one of his videos all the way through. I don't want to be influenced by other channels. I like the idea of doing my own thing with my own unique perspective.

Super to podsumowałeś 🤣🤣 jesli odpowiednio podpilujesz tego panzerwaffla to mozesz sciac nim drzewo na opal😂😂

"Suchary", pronounced as [soo'Harry] means literally "dry biscuits". It comes from the word "suchy" [soo'hee] which basically means "dry". Very traditional biscuits here in Poland. "Specjalne" [speh'cee'alneh] means "spacial". They are hard. They've always been that way as far as I can imagine and remember. They tend to be more salty (a bit) , sometimes with addition of some spices, but definitely not sweet. "Makaron" [ma'carron] means pasta indeed. "Makaron po bolońsku" [ma'carron poh ball'onscoo] literally means "pasta a'la Bolognese". "Malinowy" [malee'novee] is an adjective and comes from a noun "malina" (raspberry). Hey, no offense taken for mistakenly taking Polish for Czech 😉 The pronunciation I gave here is obviously as close as I can provide. In Polish the letter "w" is never pronounced as in the word "wood", but as in the word "very" 🙂 The letter "e" is never like in the word "Lee" but rather in the word "letter" (the first "e"). I hope it all tasted good, for an MRE of course 😉 The easiest way to tell the Polish language from the Czech language (by what's written) is that in Polish there's no diacritic signs such as "š" and "č" (those V-shaped additions on top). Instead, in Polish, we'd use two letters "sz" and "cz". Both in Czech and Polish they are pronounced as "sh" / "tch" almost as in the words "shoot" or "perch" (or Czech! 😁). I loved your boot camp stories 👍 Damn, I'm hungry now 😁 The spam is called "mielonka" [myeh'lonkah] in Polish I guess from looking at it, and if it is what I think it is it is best to take it out of the can and use a knife to slice it and put it on those crackers. Then, they would go very well with sweet coffee ☕👍

Greetings from Poland! Really liked your video. The small meat package is something like a chopped pork / luncheon meat, you can heat it but it's usually eaten cold as a spread on bread / crackers. You can buy the fruit drink "pellets" in a bigger package (at least in Poland), children often eat it as candy instead of making the drink, at least that's what we did :) And not sure how it's usually in US, but when you check calorie content, it's often listed per 100g and not per package.

"Suchary" is a kind of crackers and the name comes from "suchy" that means dry. Nothing common with sugar, saccharin. They should be eaten slowly, apart from other meals, through all day by scraping little by little with teeth. It gives catching taste and fed feeling. No jam, butter or dive into tea, it`s not bread or roll

C and one coffee candy - large zipper bag was usually used for water purification, but the tablets were in a larger 24h patrol ration, - panzerwaffles are kinda legendary around here, You can replace teeth broken by them - with them, - the raspberry instant drink is supposed to be drank with the straw while the bag is zipped, - salt works great added to the flameless heater water, - spam cans are the best ashtrays, - the shortest recorded unit of time is the duration of xylithol chewing gums taste, - the only purpose of the honey is to make everything sticky, also, for some reason it helped with the insect bites, perhaps someone knows why, I always added the honey to the heater pack, liquify it and used it to make the raspberry tea sweeter, sugar can give quite an energy punch during long marches - the green plastic bag is made from a very thick plastic, which works great as a tinder (SORRY GRETA, DEAL WITH IT), - I know it will sound a bit disgusting, but the wet wipes used as a toilet paper is the best thing that happened to the army since the beginning of time.

How do you want to test the MRE when you don't know what you are testing and how to use it? Polish MREs differ significantly from those unified in most armies in the world. It would be advisable to go to a little trouble and translate the directions for use. Properly used, Polish MREs are one of the best in the world, both in terms of taste and caloric value. I know something about it - I am Pole. In Polish Army is used to say: a good bowl (jargon: food) as important as a good weapon. Isn't it? A small can of ground pork, without heating, is added to a serving of rusks, usually eaten for breakfast. Fruit jelly, jam is usually eaten with rusks for supper. The main course, that really needs to be heated patiently, even longer than recommended in the manual - it warms up slowly - this is a comprehensive lunch. The big advantage of the polish MREs is that the soldier does not run to the latrine every five minutes. It may seems funny to someone, but in combat conditions it is really a very important property. Everyone who was in the army knows it very well. It is strange to me to watch a soldier eating in a cap, no Pole will eat like that. Soldiers always take off their cap or headgear, even helmet, at meals - this is the custom both in the army and in civilians. Eating in headgear in Poland is treated as an extreme lack of upbringing.

You're funny, Ryan. Some people think I'm old as dirt. I've got a good story coming, I believe. It's about crossing the Arctic Circle........Stay tuned.

writes from Poland, great video and tasty :) best regards

what you got here is the cheapest polish MRE thats basically just a lunch, you should check out the 24hrs polish ration with 3 full meals, those are quite tasty

Nice to see you eat the food for once 🎉🔥
