2018 Turkish 24 Hour Civilian Ration MRE Review Meal Ready to Eat Taste Test

  • This Turkish Civilian 24 hr Ration is a pretty fascinating and different kind of ration all around. With a low amount of preservatives, it has a short shelf life (1 year) - but it has the most delicious tortillas and black olives - but then the main courses are lacking in flavor. And one in particular with a putrid undertone of mystery. So this ration is a mixed bag. Flameless Ration Heater tech that is above & beyond the standard. We're talking top notch and advanced. I can imagine other companies outside of Turkey's 'Unifo' are eventually going to reverse engineer such an efficient and well made FRH heating element. That is the best part of this ration, it's FRH - and all those gussets. I always like a nice gusset.
    For a ration used out camping or similar outdoor activity, I would say it is of passing grade.

    Yogurt is the most consumed food in Turkey (not one of the most, the most consumed). Turkish yogurt is not sweet at all, it's salty. It's actually used in main dishes or eaten with main dishes, and most importantly, we mix it with water and make a drink called "ayran", it goes really well with kebap and many Turkish dishes.
    Yogurt as a desert is pretty much a foreign concept in Turkey.

    It’s funny to see your reaction to the olives. Turks are so used to olives with the pit that they would mostly be shocked if they came pitted. Our muscle memory is conditioned to eat the olive with the pit in and then spit out the pit. Interesting review ! Lipton tea btw is pretty bad but it’s one of the few low end tea brands in Turkey that offers a teabag version.

      @k_ir3868 10 месяцев назад +1

      Olives with pits do taste better. I think the reason is because of the process of removing the pit it leaves the inside of the olive unprotected in direct contact with the oil/water in the can which makes it lose flavour.

    • @emilsohn1671
      @emilsohn1671 9 месяцев назад

    I love it when they translate lavaş as tortillas because that is the closest counterpart that westerners know, even though they are kinda different. Lavaş is made out of simple combination of wheat, water, salt but tortillas are made out of wheat, sugar, baking soda and oil. Lavaş is pretty much a bread that is flat and without baking powder. When you include baking bowder in it, you get your regular white bread. That is the key difference.

Lol sorry but you are literally a laughingstock if you say Turkey hadn’t been involved in any wars. Every war in the world is instigated by NATO and Turkey is involved in every war fighting every time for the right or wrong reasons one way or another. I mean it’s freaking NATO and Turkey is a member. And who do you think it’s lead by? It’s the US, and it’s their hobby to instigate wars across the world always funding billions to a domestic terrorist in each nation to throw off a government no one wanted in the targeted country in the first place. It’s a terrible organization and Turkey is a NATO member. You should really look up foreign policies of the US. They literally spend billions to analyze and fund multiple domestic terrorist organizations in order to instigate wars and they have lists of it, causing miseries and bringing poverty across the globe. Ask your leader to get out of NATO and Turkey should lead an effort to dissolve the NATO so that world peace can be restored.

Haha ok well still really cool thanks for sharing. Olives are not usually pitted which I too found weird. No breakfast here is complete without some string cheese an olives! Nice.

    Holy shit, finally a Turkish ration. First time I'm seeing you trying out Turkish food. And also you guessed it right, those crunchy cheese were probably for you to add in them in to the tomato soup so you can have that crunchy feel and cheesy tomato soup, also can be accompanied by black olives. Actually it is really common to drink soup for the breakfast in Turkey and cheesy tomato soup with black olives are the most common way to eat tomato soup. So putting soup to the breakfast section would be more appropriate but I guess they didn't want to weird out foreigners because a Turkish guy would definitely drink that soup at breakfast :D I also think that soup was too thick, maybe needed to water it down a bit. Yoghurt soup contains rice, so those things you show were probably rice. Weird think is you can eat yoghurt soup cold as well. But it was really funny to see you using soup as a sauce :D However I'm surprised how bland they made the food, specially "kavurma" the roasted beef is a real delicacy in Turkey. I hope we can see some military rations from Turkey in the future from you.

      Yes it was and I was thinking that of you wanted to you could have a second cup of coffee but add LESS water but make it BOILING to bring out the coffee from the granules. Maybe a little weak, but with less water it might work.
      Hell's Bells, I've had coffee we strained from a (clean) woolen Army Sock. Called "Sock Coffee," Natch, and when you are in the field, warm Rats (Rations) NOT being provided and the C-Rats in the cans were nearly frozen solid, Sock Coffee was like Nectar of The Gods while you waited for your C-Rats to warm up.
      I remember MANY a day (and night) standing around a Coleman Stove, Steel Pot balanced on a burner, full of water and a clean sock full of coffee grounds in the Steel Pot waiting for it to boil so you could dole some out into your stainless steel canteen cup EXACTLY like the one Steve uses, them wrapping your hands around the cup for warmth and sipping that dark, thick, Nectar down and enjoying it as it warmed your body and Soul in the Sub-Zero weather.
      Ah, the GOOD old Days!!

    Well, the pit of the olives are normal. In general it is sold like this. Turkish people know that and aren't bother by it. That's why they leaved it like it is. A few olives and you get used to it.
