  • Check out this review on 3 Canadian IMP Ration packs! Including the French Canadian classic: Poutine! See it for yourself!
    For all the folks in Montreal and throughout who actually know how to pronounce Poutine properly (unlike myself), my apologies for my mis-pronunciation. Only after reviewing had I learned it was not pronounced "Pu-teen" but more accurately "Pu-tin" - oh well, live & learn.. that is one of the many beauties of trying these Rations from around the world - learning new foods and how to properly pronounce them (that part never hurts!) :-)
    The Canadian IMP is an awesome Military Ration, and is in my opinion a little more varied than the US MRE in it's contents and quality. Not an easy Ration to acquire - so thank you BlackdogBob for making this one happen!
    Hope you folks enjoy this review on these three IMPs.
    PS - Oldsmokey is getting a 2015 IMP from BlackdogBob this week and should have the first 2015 IMP review out shortly. Keep your eyes open for Oldsmokey: / @oldsmokey1

      @XH1927 Год назад +2

      It'd probably be different if I was a soldier and living on the things, but back when Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis were still airing new episodes, I used to take great joy in grabbing an MRE out of a case I picked up at a gunshow and enjoying it over the course of the two hours of watching my favorite military sci-fi shows. There were very few components I found that a found unpalatable enough to throw them away, and that was that early 2000s which was a pretty transitional time for the US MRE. and given that I was just buying whatever at whatever gun show I went to, I got a huge variety of shit that ranged from modern to "probably too old to actually be eating but I didn't know any better". I always regarded the tiny bottles of Tabasco as a symbol of quality, perhaps wrongly in a lot of cases.

    The rubbery thing you ate was definitely a cheese curd. As a Canadian, I strongly urge you to have some real poutine sometime. Fries are supposed to be crispy, the curds are supposed to be melty and creamy and the gravy is not supposed to be a soupy mess that drowns everything. Kind of shocking that they even attempted to rationalize ;) a classic like poutine.

      Proper poutine is supposed to be basically drowned in gravy. Granted it shouldn’t have the consistency of soup, it should be a lot thicker, halfway between soup and yogurt, leaning more towards yogurt in terms of viscosity and thickness. Definitely not light brown gravy though, either brown or dark brown, you want that beefy flavour in there with the cheese and potatoes.

    for the French fries with the poutine , thats what happens when the fries soak in the gravy , it changes the flavor and as a freshness indicator FUN FACT you can tell by the flavor of the fries if the poutine was made fresh that minute or has sat as maybe part of a large batch. come to Canada for the poutine .

      Poutine is meant to be eatin the day its made right? So my theory is they thought of French fries but it goes mushy sitting in Gravy that long so they gave up on frying. The only way I see it working is maybe seal them in a separate pouch then add to Gravy mix when ready.

    I've heard Canadian rations are the best, and I'm happy to see that our home cooked stuff is to your liking! Everything looks genuinely edible and good, aside from that disaster of a chicken stew they called poutine. Unfortunate, and somehow I had a feeling it'd be one of the worst ones. I think the best way they could fake poutine would be if they could keep potatoes a little bit firm, in oblong cubes, and the cheese was a somewhat dry shredded (a sin I know, don't razz me) white cheddar, and they had a very very thick gravy. So again it'd be a lot like a stew as opposed to a poutine, but I can't imagine how they'd make the potatoes actually crisp for the field.
    Cheers from Ontario.
