Here's Part Two of my look at a British 24 Hour Ration Pack from 2015. This is Menu No.3, and in this part we check out the final two meals that I made up from the components. Overall, everything was excellent--especially the main entrees!
He put tabasco on curry.....a billion Indians just slapped their foreheads and said "Oi Vey!" LOL! Cheers G!
gundog4314 LOL Gundog
Dude really?
+gundog4314 hi
+gundog4314 i watch you to.
you both have great content
Probably not!!! The British are already making it with Beef, just not in this particular instance.
It's a running joke:
Why is British Curry better than Indian Curry? BEEF!!!
Just shows the difference in national taste, beens and sausages, is one of the best liked ration meals for British squaddies, and has been since the ration packs of the 1960s
One of the best things about trying out rations from different countries is to see what kind of national dishes will be represented!
Wow, that looks like an absolute winner of a 24-hour-rat! I love watching your videos because your voice, and matter-of-fact assessments lull me into a peaceful place. I think you are creating ASMR content without knowing it.
They also have a Ginger pudding in ginger sauce that I'm really wanting to try. That curry looked really good to btw. Great review overall.
You should try the Chocolate Pudding from EvaQ8 - it was in a civilian MRE I bought to try a couple of years ago and it was the best dessert I've ever had.
ive only tried two british rations in my life i aint seen any other rations here in the uk
you can eat the sticky toffee pudding cold but it is 10x better hot as all the stodge softens up
Great review, and glad you liked it. The British Army listens quite closely to what the troops want, so they change with the times..I notice things like "biscuits brown" get dumped but "Cola" gets added. The MOD are quite eclectic from where they source their stuff, they don't care provided it meets their standards.
"an army marches on its stomach" Napoleon.
Yeah we beat the ever living shit out of him but it's still a good idea & one we've used for quite a while now, a soldier that isn't demoralised from shit food is typically better at his job.
@@HereticDuo Britain had help from Russia and Prussia. A lot of help.
You should have tried the peanuts with the toffee pudding! Salted caramel peanut flavor is awesome. Great review per usual. Thanks for the upload.
Great part 2 ! Both meals looked delicious. With Tabasco, A lot is just as good as A little, LOL. Keep up the good work, Peace, John.
I've had this menu, Its definitely one of the best ones! :)
I dare say that look more appetizing than all of US MREs.
and in UK we get to choose what menu number we want ,each menu number has a determined region or taste u like
they drop off cases of them at the BC & everyone decides who gets what, there are 20 different menus in a standard drop off, imo no3 which he had is one of the weaker ones, 14, 15 & 20 are the ones that are snapped up first, so seeing as how much he liked 3 which is the base line of the bunch you can imagine how much better the others are.
These MRE videos are oddly hypnotising and calming
UK soldiers were until recently issued with hexi stoves which folded out and had a cup sized stand too.
Now after a MOD tender dragon fuel won.
Thier stoves with non toxic solid fuel are great. Available on civilian market. Stove isn't badly priced but fuel tablets pricey.
However testing whilst camping I found it to be well designed and convenient.
Have one in car in my emergency kit so at least can have nice cup of tea and a mre if stranded awaiting rescue.
Nice review. FYI sticky toffee pudding was invented in the 1970s in England!
Still got my Trangia knocking around, but Jet Boils are the way forward. Brilliant piece of kit.
The Anti-Baci wipes are large so they can be used as wash cloths when you're out away from proper wash facilities. 1 for morning, 1 for evening. Generally, meal wise, I'd hit the carbs in the morning, and proteins for evening.
Nice review Gschultz. The pudding looked like a great treat for someone in the field; and tell the truth: you just wanted to say Toad in the Hole & Bubble and Squeak.
great review, mr. gschultz!
i really enjoy your mre reviews and all those from steve1989, kiwidude, stickyfingaz, and all the great reviewers.
when i started mre reviews on my german bushcraft, survival, knives and gear channel, i didn't expect, that my german review buddies would do that too....
but its very nice to see that and i love all the reviews in english and german.
now... i have about 80 mre's to eat and review... french, spain, italy, germans (if you need help to translate the epas: contact me on facebook!), usa, dutch, swedish, norway etc. etc... new mre's and vintage from the 70's, 80's up to the fresh rations...
so to give you and your great mre-buddies and friends a big hug: thanks to you guys for giving me the idea for making german mre reviews and for growing after my idea the german mre scene!
it feels great to be part of the international mre reviewers scenes.
all the best greetings from cologne, germany
arthur brehm 😉
p.s.: if you like to check my reviews in german.... look for my epa/mre playlist on my channel! ;)
Yay part 2, looks good. That cola beverage though umm I dunno looks like flat cola to me. See you have been tainted by US MREs over processed artificial preservatives etc. A lot of the international rations have real food in them, so when I taste I do compare them to real food because other countries have proved that you can have really good tasting real food in rations.
the only particularly bad thing about the accessory packs in these is they don't have any salt and pepper sachets.
Was going to suggest perhaps the tropical drink is mango flavored. It is a tropical fruit.
Love your review of this ration. Something bit different than the US ones you usually do. There really is a lot of food in their 24 hour ration.
Soda is a strange drink in a way. The fruit squeeze thing is similar in a way to that squeeze pouch of fruit found in the toddler section at the grocery store in US. This was a great ration and seem to have a good variety of foods.
Thats exactly what the fruit pouch is. It was seen as a good way of getting fruit to the troops, particularly in Afghan conditions. Thats why there is no chocolate, or anything that will melt. A lot of these ORP's have trail mix in them as well, like the nuts they're designed to be chucked in your pocket and eaten through the day to keep energy levels up.
Great video really need to get my hands on one of these here soon.
My wife says you should have saved the blackcurrant tab to put in the cola drink. Sounds legit.
That pudding looked so good
I debated so long about purchasing this one, but I ended up purchasing a Russian EMERCOM 24hr ration instead. I've got a review and 2 unboxings now :)
I bet putting the effervescent tablet in the cola beverage would have made it taste a little less flat
The matches are spot on lighting UK issue hexamine stoves
Great review!
Nice review
Tabasco sauce bottles break so go with the packet!!!!
Lmao! I know you don't like spicy stuff and you put way too much Tabasco sauce on that first bite haha. Also why do they call it a boiled sweet. Anybody know?? Another awesome review also!!!! Thank you!
John Trovato i think its because the sugar is boiled and reset into moulds
curry rice looked awesome
Sticky toffee pudding isn't strange. We have it here in the US and it's quite common... we call it bread pudding with caramel sauce.... the matches seem really dangerous.
They're NATO standard matches, they're water and windproof, they always light.They're absolutely brilliant.
Hey Gundog, when I was in the US Army stationed in ( then ) West Germany in the late 70s and 80s we were issued
MCI ( Meals Combat Individual ) in the field. Basically they were C-Rats but no cigarettes.
In cold German winter when you were trying to stay up on guard duty you needed a pick me up.
I would fire up our trusty M-1950 Track stove to boil up some water in my canteen cup and add
my C-rat coffee and my C-rat creamer and C-rat sugar and my C-rat Hot Coa Coa and give a big stir.
Yes, I invented Coff-Coa.
Why don't you give that a try here some time.
Oops sorry I meant Gschultz. Haha sorry I blame my newly diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation I just was diagnosed with at VA in May after I spent a week in the hospital. My Brain was starved of oxygen with my irregular heartbeat. haha
Gschultz i would still like to see you try making Coff-Coa sometime.
Thank you for your time Gschultz. hehe
Hey, do you know where that foreignmre guy ships from? I'm leaving my area for a week soon and I'm curious about how long it takes to come.
Sorry, I'm not sure where they're located/where it ships from. But if they use Priority Mail (And I don't know if that's standard for them or not) it should get to you in two days. Shoot them a quick note and ask them. They seem pretty responsive.
Ok, I'll see what they gotta say. Thanks for the info, and keep up the awesome content.
Thanks for the review - these UK ORPs are quite rich. I had this breakfast beans/sausages in the ORP and it was... not to use other words ... tasteless. I added a lot of Tabasco - it became spicy, but not tasty
"Pea beans"? I thought they called them Haricot Beans?
Gundog might have put some peanuts on the curry - Magnus certainly would have. That's more Asian than Indian, but I bet it would have been good. I think I speak for many of us when I suggest you can skip the coffee from now on. You don't really care for it, and there isn't one of us who hasn't had instant coffee, so it's hardly a revelation what it tastes like.
The peanut idea is a good thought. It certainly didn't NEED anything extra, but I agree that it probably been quite tasty. As far as the coffee, I appreciate the sentiment about skipping it (and would be more than happy to not have it). But let me share the reason why I DO check out the coffee. Believe it or not, I didn't do the coffee in the old days. Since I don't like coffee I never bothered to make it up (makes sense, right?). But I was constantly being scolded for not doing a "complete" review because I was skipping the coffee. It was a pretty good point. Even though I don't have anything deep or insightful to say about it, it does seem more like a full review with it there. Maybe I'll try doing less with it? I could quickly make it up and say something like "There's the instant coffee" without really trying to "review" it too deeply.
I don't think leaving the coffee out would make it any less "complete." If viewers insist on using everything, then some reviewer will have to video himself "using" the toilet paper...
Although I almost always forget/neglect to try the gum, I otherwise try to check out everything that is edible/drinkable. I might try to gloss over the coffee a bit, but will continue to at least make it up. The complaints about leaving it out far outweigh the ones I get for giving it a lame review.
Douwe Egberts is a Dutch coffee brand. The Dutch stole coffee plants from Yemen in the 18th century which they then took to the East Indies (Indonesia) to grow and the beans were imported to Holland to be roasted and be sold by the Douwe Egberts company. The Dutch later brought plants from the botanical gardens in Amsterdam to South America. Most plants there still have Amsterdam genes.
thanks for the neat review Gundog.
Sorry again.....i had a brainfart Gschultz.
6 fingers of death lol
I notice that other MRE reviewers like EmmyMadeinJapan and you all seem to like coca-cola, I wonder why that is? I love MRE reviews and I love coca-cola.
I've tried the sticky toffee pudding and it was nasty, the proper sticky toffee has a light sponge. You could use those things for hockey pucks.
I know the U.K. has banned Red #40…
You could have made a coffee Mocha out of that coffee and hot chocolate might be more pleasurable than just the coffee on the own, I have a nephew who turns his nose up at MREs and pre-fares his mothers cooking.
So mall food court standards then?
Sticky toffee pudding is cake
I'm gonna try a challenge by eating mres for a whole week haha
I bet noone has ever done that before... Or maybe a year?
You're probably gonna be a poor fucker afterwards haha
You confuse the UK with England. Scotland does contribute to the military. .
girlsdrinkfeck but he refers the UK ration to an English one
CallMeBain rations in whole of UK is the same regardless of the state
Northern Ireland is also UK and part of the Military.
You ever hear of the Scots Guards or the The Royal Scots Greys, The Royal Scots,The Royal Scots Fusiliers,The King's Own Scottish Borderers, The Cameronians/Scottish Rifles, The Black Watch,The Highland Light Infantry do I need to go on ? FFS the Scottish like the Irish have a long glorious history in the British army.
Since I'm down Scotland not contribute to UK Millitary, which idiot told you that?
Second lol
first
ADD MILK TO YOUR TEA.
He only had creamer in the ration. That does NOT go with tea at all.
Thank you your right only use the creamer in coffee.
