10 years in the Army. - I've eaten more MRE's than I'd like to remember.
Spot-on review. Not bad, not delicious. The bread is dry and disgusting. Having the meal hot and with Tabasco makes all the difference. The coffee (done right) is a life-saver.
Nice job, Emmy.
+John Last Just talking about that bread and cheese spread is making me hungry. I could live on that for the rest of my life with a bottle of Laxative...
As a 5 year single soldier I agree. And screw those wheat snack breads lol.
MRE were gourmet. My first 3 years were C rats and the only thing edible were the beans and franks ( oh and i ate the fruit cake also and everybody else) , then MRE's started being issued ( first we got LRPS , then MRE's) . I was super amazed at MRE's , it wasn't great but at least they were edible.
my dad has told me stories of not pooping for a week because of MREs.
John Last always hated the meatballs! They tasted like soybeans! but I liked the chicken a la king! Remember the dried pork patty!
MREs kept me and my family alive for several weeks after hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Aw
Gulf Coast of Mississippi when I was a kid. 😅
Wesley Ngo Yo homie!
Keith Risk DO I KNOW YOU?
Hi. c:
Keith Risk yep
Omg you are so adorable going through that MRE, I've been eating those things for 12 years in the Army and have never seen the priceless enthusiasm that you have.
Have they changed them during your service? Ie) taking some out of production and making new entries?
When I was in the Canadian Reserves I liked the majority of ours.
Thete was sine cherry cake that I hated and always gave away but the actual meals themselves I enjoyed.
The Lasagna ones were the best.
I've had really bad PTSD for about three years now and listening to your videos has been really helpful. You have a really gentle voice, really friendly! It helps with the nightmares. Thank you for everything!
Linda Keene God Bless you!!! ⚜️⚜️
@Charles Lee Ray lol of course a man has empathy problems what else is knew
@Charles Lee Ray How the fuck dare you disrespect a veterin for having PTSD you sexist peice of shit
@@Theo-oo4qp I think @plainly took care of it already. (I'm a white, middle class, middle aged man). But just in case... @Charles Lee Ray, you're a dick. When people are actually vulnerable and unwell, even stupid comments that you think are funny can totally ruin people's lives. If that's your intention, to leave a wake of poison... then I guess you are successful in your pointless fruitless life. But by all other standards of decency, you completely fail as a human. There are better ways to spend your short life. Start selfishly being nice to people. you won't feel as bad about yourself as you do now. It's easy. Just hit delete at the end of everything you write, until you are sure you are being a human.
@Charles Lee Ray Have you ever spoken to a woman? There's an old Australian saying that goes..."you're a fucking idiot". I think it applies here.
lol just making some coffee while bullets fly past me
Lol
+neon.turtle199 loL
That is so messed up you should respect what our military goes through
AEM10 hey man i do,it was a joke don't take it so seriously
AttackOnGamer ok
At 1:19, I love how the diagram on the back of the MRE heater says "rock or something."
I didn't notice that at first! 😆
Before eating any of this I would try going on a long hike and definitely this will taste better when you are hungry and tired with no other food around to eat
+This video is good but the comments are better That is a valid observation.
+Ross “crashdummy35” Martinez so tru all that walking makes u tired and ur family like the hell with that food
+This video is good but the comments are better i agree completely
I've never done the comparison with an entire meal, but after hiking to the top of a mountain, a bland bar was probably the sweetest taste I had had
Some of my old camping buddies would buy full case loads of these at the army surplus stores instead of going grocery shopping before we'd head out for a trip. Though while the rest of us loved having camp stoves and fire-grilling, it made a lot of sense for them - never had to worry about keeping their food in coolers with enough ice, or worrying that you were running out of propane for the camp stove - and they didn't have to worry bout animals getting into their food.
Samantha Wu Yeah, I think they'd be great for backpacking or on any trip where there are space or weight limitations.
This is so cool! It was smoking! I've never seen/heard of an MRE before, you learn something new everyday :D
So how you thought soldiers eat in combat? :D
I dunno, its never really crossed my mind xD
omg I saw her at target and I was to shy to say hi cause you was with your husband and children didn't want to bother you
Aww...next time say hi. I don't mind. 😄👋
emmymadeinjapan ik i will next time i saw you at Lincoln target i was liek soo shy i was like omg what i saw lml
+emmymadeinjapan I love your VIDEOS!
I'm a ytber I'm Jessie Griffin and I've got six vids can u suscribe
+Jessie Griffin haha same name! :) I'm a utuber too
we usually don't heat them because we don't have time. we eat them how they come
You don't heat up the food? God bless you
Kathleen King God bless you and thanks for farting
+Madalyn Crawley "Thanks for fighting"
Pff... Why do they fight?
Erik Contreras when I started eatting these we didn't have the heatting packs yet! that was about 1989!
Thank you so much for your service ❤️
The military deserves better food.
They only eat these while in combat and they cant set up kitchens so the enemy doesn't detect them...Don't worry i'm sure they are feed well when not in combat..
They are always saying they are working on better flavors.
My husband is a Marine and he said they are all pretty gross. They eat them when chow halls aren't around and also during different training and during some parts of boot camp
Sadly they arent meant to be delicious they are meant to provide a days worth of calories.
I agree though they should make them more appetizing :/
Cyle Burr hes trippin meatball marinara and chili macaroni are super tasty...ask him
Cyle Burr hes trippin meatball marinara and chili macaroni are super tasty...ask him
When my brother was doing his tours in Iraq and Afghanistan he hated the food but needed to eat it because thats what keeps them going. So with his care package I would send granola and protien bars the sustain him, and they tasted good so that helped.
I'm glad to see you recognized that the primary reason for MREs (or any military ration) isn't about flavour/looks/smell. Yeah, they don't smell great, rarely look appetizing or taste very good, but their entire reason for being is to get CALORIES into a body. Course, it would help if it looked better, smelled better, tasted better (we're far more prone to eat if its appealing). But, between packaging, long shelf life and the huge variety of palettes that these meals have to satisfy...its IMPOSSIBLE to make everyone happy (given rations, its impossible to make anyone happy).
Some of the very best inovations in rations have been that 'heater' and the fact that everything is 'ready' to eat (it can all be eaten COLD if one had to, its 'precooked'). Unlike the days when rations actually had to be COOKED (the days of 'canned' rations). As well as the packaging, its vastly LIGHTER then rations used to be.
Back in 'my day'...rations weren't carried in by individuals, they were TRUCKED in because they simply weighed MORE then an individual could carry for even one day's needs (along with the rest of his 'kit'/supplies) and were much bulkier (round cans, sardine can type containers....a LOT of weight/garbage).
For what they are, for the purpose they serve...you can live off them, it beats the CRAP out of 'foraging' for sustenance in the 'field of operations', what ever someone's 'field is; be that military, diaster, hiking...they simply are what it says "Meals Ready to Eat". It says nothing about them being pleasing LOL.
Key Whispering
a simple chemical reaction with the added water. They've actually been around for decades; but a fantastic convenience when any other means of heating a meal is neither economical (fuel/stoves all weigh MORE and load out a pack) or dangerous (remember these are MILITARY rations, ppl still have to eat even when under fire, so anything that gives away position, like say....a fire to boil water...is a BAD idea).
Reality is, warm/hot meals makes one far more productive and motivated, they warm the 'soul', its ONE less thing the body has to warm up (if eaten cold it does absorb body heat from the core, that's MORE calories used up) AND it really does aid in digestion (you'll digest MORE of the food and absorb more of the calories when its warm/hot).
MrRocque It sounds like one very interesting thing to try!
Key Squared
just don't judge ALL 'rations' by the one you try. There's a variety and they aren't designed to please EVERY palatte every time, that would be impossible to do. And if you're trying civilian rations, its just another variable in the mix.
My dad was a guerrilla unit (covert operative essentially) for the CIA back in Vietnam. They were always on the road, hiding behind dense forests waiting for the enemy. He said when they have time, they'd hunt down or go to the next village to find some kind of livestock/animal to eat. Of course the villages were all abandoned, they' all ran away from the persecution.
Once during a hurricane, they gave these out at the police station in case of major power outages. Somehow my brother and I ended up eating off of these for years. This video reminds me of being a little kid.
same
Lol I ate one of these during hurricane sandy! The chili taste really good
I ate these as a kid during Hurricane Ike.
yep, during hurricane Katrina for me
yeah they’re pretty good! i remember my dad getting my brother and i some to eat what he ate on deployment :)
The bread looks like the "pizza dough" that used to come in the lunchables!
I serve in the United States Marine Corps and when I saw you made a video about MRE Emmy I was like "ohhh..great" lol. I personally don't like them. But when you barely have eaten ...you will eat anything. I have a really picky stomach so I usually get sick when I eat them AKA stuck in the porter potty for way too long and then I am miserable the rest of the day. I usually bring my own food but once my food is gone you have to rely on the MRE to help feed you. Thank you Emmy for doing a respectful yet honest yet funny review on the MRE. I hope everyone has a better perspective of what us server men and women have to eat on a daily basis and fight while were at it to protect you. Support our troops!
What's your MOS and rank?
***** I personally don't announce that part of who I am to the world. I also never tell people I serve either to protect myself. I hope you understand! :) One thing I will say is I been over four years.
I'm shipping to Parris Island this winter!! That's why I asked :) so excited to earn the title MARINE
Julia, Good for you. You are making a wonderful choice in your life by joining the USMC. Not only that... The things you get out of being a Marine is awesome. Yes the pay sucks but the time, sacrifice, and being independent, the confidence and the best shape your body will ever have is an over all WOW. Also when people see a MARINE..especially a 'Female' Marine the wow factor is even higher. I heard things are changing for your boot camp so it might be a little different than when I went in just like when my dad served almost ten years in the USMC. If I can give any piece of advice is to NEVER EVER stop believing in yourself. EAT clean. Always work out. And do the very best you can do in boot camp and after you graduate. Don't loose focus. I believe you will do a great job. If you have any question send me a direct message so it is more private and not public. Best of Luck. Semper Fi.
My dad was USMC during operation Desert Storm he was in a artillery unit and was a lance corporal when he got outand mres didnt have heaters then! They would use an engine block thats running or the sun somehow to heat up their meals he would love the nut cakes because they had alchahol!
Lol I remember eating these after Hurricane Katrina when I was little (trying at least) lol
Me Too! We had hella cases of these!
Rose Gotti i cant remember it was so long ago, i was like 8
Kaleidoscope Klass me too
Kaleidoscope Klass I have a friend who was in hurricane Katrina as a baby
Kaleidoscope Klass me too
How is she being disrespectful by reviewing an MRE? This is what soldiers eat on the battlefield but that doesn't mean she is being rude by saying something is nasty or doesn't taste as good. Have some backbone i have a lot of respect for our servicemen and women.
Your voice here sounds about an octave lower than usual! Fascinating~
Hunger and exhaustion makes food 100x better!
I know, right?!
Even if its not that good!
She always does a nice job of not being judgemental. She never wants to hurt anyone’s feelings or make someone feel like they might be less fortunate.
if you want a realistic experience add some sand
Bruce B HAH! so true.
Bruce B What?? Why?? U cant eat silica!
Every mre ive eaten had sand
Was is poor or broken packaging? An issue with quality control? Im curious how sand would end up at the production line. I worked in food packaging and we have very strict rules regarding sanitary conditions.
95ellington when you deploy to the desert EVERYTHING gets sand in it. im not saying something was wrong with the MRE. im saying sand gets in everything because its the desert. gets in food, clothes boots ears, nose, mouth... etc
You said the coffee would taste better with sugar and the trail mix would taste better with salt yet that both came in the bag haha
I love the detail at the bottom of the instructions at 1:22
"Rock or something"
"MRE is a three-part lie: it's not a meal, it's not ready, and you can't eat it."
-US Military proverb
That is the best thing I’ve ever heard
Obviously you can eat it tho and you do eat it or you starve right? Even people not in the military have had to eat these things to stay alive it’s better then nothing
And they all said, "Amen!"
these are also designed to have over 1500 calories so you only have to eat one a day, although the army feeds them to soldiers for every meal that they cannot provide any other food. i personally make my pb and j by putting the peanut butter on the bread and leaving a crater for the jelly so you don't have a ton of that bread in one bite ;). the gum does have a laxative in it! all these meals have foods that also help the digestive system....basically, the military doesn't want any constipated soldiers ;). you can also do several different things as far as combinations of the sides and main meal. if you mix the peanut butter and coffee, we call it "ranger dip"...you do exactly that, stick it in your mouth like dip and the caffeine in the coffee helps keep you awake and alert faster and longer than if you drink it(that one is my favorite), but there many other things you could do, just google it =]. jalapeno cheese, chocolate peanut butter and candy are like gold in these things!
Didn't know that about the gum.😳 Thanks for sharing!
+Melissa Varnum If you've had the Canadian MRE's, Cheese Spread does the opposite of help the digestive system... lol, all the newbies learned very quickly not to eat them ;)
+Iivari 33 this is crap and tumblr sucks balls.
+Melissa Varnum Cant count the number of different meals ive made by combining multiple MREs.. The jalapeno cheese was a big fave of mine, especially to mix into the beef rav
OMG chocolate peanut butter is like the unicorn of MRE's its my fave
I've seen mean comments on this video about her and I was just wondering... what the flying fuck is wrong with people? I don't see a single reason why someone should be assholes to her! What did she do to you for fuck sake? Leave her alone she hasn't done anything wrong. Some people need to shut up.
+Marjolaine Arias Because RUclips.
Marjolaine Arias unfortunately there's always gonna be,haters!!
Literally spent my night watching your MRE videos! I like videos like these and the space food ones :) Keep doing what you're doing Emmy!
mre stands for meals rarely edible...
I mean meals ready to eat
😂
Well soldiers don't give a fuck if it's tasty.
+A RUclips User
Even the soldiers said that. Many said that they were Meals Rarely Edible. MRE
Lambkins 18 Proof please? I will believe you if you give me some sort of proof.
+A RUclips User
Search up: Cbs this morning mre kits
Then click the one where the soldier is biting a pizza
So fun watching her "newbie" reactions to something I've done hundreds of times..Her awe with the MRE is so funny.
I e been working my way backwards on Emmys MRze videos, so it was fun to see these old ones. Bad lighting and sound, noisy backgrounds, Emmy not really knowing everything about them. But you can still see the nascent appeal even back then, plus Emmys respect for the product that's made her the star she is today!
An excellent first try!
for some reason I like the way she eats and talks
I feel like eating everything that kit included omg...hungryyyy (yes I'm not picky with my food at all 0
sameee
Same
SAME!
(late reply)
well, since his is made for soldiers who quite obviously work out a lot, it's made to be high calorie, which means that most of the food would be quite obviously tasty.
Bandana Splitzzz High calorie doesn't mean it's tasty :>
But as said I'm not picky with my food, I'd goble it up anyway!
Watching this in 2024 - 9 years. This is so Emmy already. The great description, the description of "childhood tastes," the respect for the food in a field situation. I'd love to know how many subscribers she has at this time. Right now she's at 2.99M. Great throwback video.
I grew up in Public Housing in Washington DC. We were given the left over MRE's from the Gulf War (I think). Fun fact: The Tabasco sauce came in a tiny little bottle back then. It was so cute. It was doll sized. I wish I had kept some.
Very nicely done, Emmy. This is the first "Emmy" I've watched - to match your first MRE. That particular entree is one of the better ones. I eat a lot of MREs when I'm fishing and I've had two of those. You are right about the "cultural history" aspect, in that we like best what we grew up with. Judging from the toys seen, there's a little boy nearby. Maybe he'd like to try some of your test meals on camera to test that theory.
This was a pretty exciting episode. Haha! I always thought MREs were just powdered "meals" you mixed with water, I had no idea they were so involved and came with heat sources, desserts, and drinks.
Those DoD MREs were the only thing I was allowed to eat for three meals a day for a week during deployment training and maybe it's just because my standards of living were low at the time but I thought they tasted amazing 😂. My favorite MRE was the ravioli one.
Lmao they thought they pu ishing your taste buds and getting you accustomed to lower standards, when in fact the MRE was a come up and a gourmet meal for you 😂😂😂
Haha this is so relatable as someone who has been on the verge of poverty my entire life. Food is food!
Apparently the ravioli ones are the big winners. Seen a couple positive comments on them.
I like this Emmy more than the Emmy from the more recent years. She’s super chill here and even her voice sounds a little different. She sometimes tries too hard in her newer videos and people have said that she tries hard to sound more intellectual/ tends to use incorrect grammar or big words in the incorrect format for say, but idk about all that. I just know I like the chillness of this video.
Huh, interesting, I never noticed and I always praise her for being eloquent...
I can't notice any difference in her chillness, I don't think she tries too hard nowadays, but who knows, maybe you see something that I can't ...
my Lt. Col. and SMSergeant actually know the man who convinced them to put tabasco sauce in MRE's. woo!
sunlit jimin that is so fucking cool!!!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Whenever you eat an MRE you MUST chew the gum that comes with it. The gum is so you don't get constipated.
Unless they've really messed up the MREs since I last saw them (Pork and Rice anyone? D:) you're thinking of the British rations that have the brown biscuit.
The gum contains xylitol, which can affect some people's digestive tracts, but only in larger doses. I.E., if you chew a piece or two of gum, you won't poop your pants - chew a dozen at once, all bets are off.
The gum is so you don't weaponize your breath and frag your battle buddies, you savage dog.
I ate these when I was in basic training for the Air force. The ravioli MRE's were my favorite. Whenever we arrived at the big plastic bins full of MRE's during beast week the MTI's would always yell at us to not be picky and to just grab whatever kind, but noone ever listened. I always kept searching till I found the ravioli kind everytime. So good! lol! I also remember whenever we'd get ones we didn't want we would always be trading amongst each other. Which once again the MTI's tried to discourage but noone cared, pretty funny lol.
My husband was in the marines and he said the same exact thing about picking through and trading. Don’t blame you all.
OMG I AM I LOVE WITH YOU EMMY I HAVE SEEN ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU VIDS AND I HAVE BEEN SUBSCRIBED FOR 10 MONTHS
Oh the memories you are making me have of my days in service. Ate one too many of these during my time in service. Also I didn't know you were also in the littlest State like me. Hope you are safe and not having to deal with too much of the drama.
ah cool i love emmy eats videos and i love MRE videos both together at last *happy dance*
:)
"Holy s-jeez" Oh my lord, Emmy. 😂😂
Thank you for your gentleness!! We really appreciate your positive thoughts and gentleness.
Lol she said HOLY SHI.... CHEEESE
LOL IKR!!! And I think she said geez? I'm not sure though
9:15 that basically sums up the taste of MRE
I LOVE MRE's! they taste like gourmet food to me :) My Dad has a huge box of them put away just for emergencies, like if we're staying in a hotel or have nothing else at all to eat.
Hey Emmy I watched all your mre videos and I also watch every new videos u make and I love them keep up the great work
Good job on describing the smell, taste and texture of the food. You weren't sugar coating anything or bashing on the food either. Awesome video, i enjoyed it alot. Thanks!
We once had a tornado in my neighborhood and I found 4 MREs near my door. I'm saving them for a 'rainy day'.
I think that biscuit is called hardtack. It's been used by the military since WWI.
hard tack is completely dry so it doesn't mold.
You could buy more, wher I live they have a "military store". They have evryhing from canteens, big backpacks to mres. But the mres are a bit priceyfor one in my opinion, about 9$.
Fainora That's why the package attached said "do not eat." Hardtack no longer has to be rehydrated, by soaking it in water.
Really disappointed they have replaced the Hershey's chocolate bar with trail mix.
The military don't use hardtack anymore. Hardtack is made with salt, flour, water and yeast. It's named hard tack cause it's incredibly hard but that bread was soft.
I had hard tack at school in my history class it tasted like you stacked 10 saline crackers and tried to eat it
I cook everything in Dutch ovens when I go camping. Makes the experience so much better!
I LOVE watching your videos. They're so therapeutic and relaxing, you have a good personality and you're beautiful too! Thank you for making them! Subscribed.
I love watching old Emmy videos! You are so adorable. 💕
Emmy you really need your own televized show, a show where you travel all around the world tasting different foods.
I am aware that there are already a lot of shows about traveling food tasters but you are much more pleasant to watch. 😊
Its so cool i ordered one last week!
This is so funny.. I watch your more recent videos and you are so much more knowledgeable now😂😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊❤️💗
Love your videos!!
I remember eating one of those when my cousin came back to visit. They can taste good, sometimes they don't. But, it is something to eat when you are in combat.
That creamer was non dairy so you could put some in the coffe ;P
EMMY! Your FIRST MRE video!!! 🥺🥺
You’ve come so far!
Finally got to see your first mre tasting, you’ve tried a lot of them from so many from different countries, love watching you
When there was a tornado in April 27th here, the big one, there was a big scard and alot of destruction (thank goodness me and my family weren't affected that much. we just had power outages, but it almost hit our cousins apartment by less than a mile, it was also really close to taking out my aunt and uncle's house, but it barely missed theirs too [my aunt passed away this year sadly])
But back to the topic, my grandparents somehow got their hands on a few of those boxes like the ones in the video, except they were blue and the packages were more clear. The food was also a pasta. You also added water and it heated up by itself. I thought it was really cool.
it even came with a packet of water. it was very handy
+Blue W april 27 2011?
Nice diary XD😂😂😂
+Blue W Humrat...
Wow, this is one of the most interesting videos you've made, in my opinion. I've always wondered what's in those things!
Thermodynamics is awesome, but it pains my physicist soul to call it "cool". Oh, the irony! :-)
hahaha :)
It's so adorable how excited you are about everything and the adjectives you use are so odd in a good way. It's so entertaining to watch
Wow then vs now is like night and day but the vibe and personality has always been there, Emmy u really are the best!
I know you're probably at least 10 years older than me but you're so cute! Your personality is literally this --> :3
if I could get my hands on these I could see myself eating them regularly. I would take them to school for lunch.
That was so cool, being an American I've seen my fair share of MRE's and it was so awesome to see you fascinated about it all, great video!
Love your reviews! They're are so sweet! :)
Thanks a lot you made me hungry! Lol😌😌😌😌😋😋😋🍻🍻🍸🍸🍸🍹🍹🍹🍷🍷🍷🍕🍕🍕🍴🍴🍴🍔🍔🍟🍟☕️☕️🍗🍗🍖🍖🍝🍝🍝🍝🍛🍛🍤🍤🍱🍱🍣🍣🍥🍥🍙🍙🍘🍘🍘🍚🍚🍚🍜🍜🍜🍙🍙🍙🍙🍙🍚🍚🍚🍜🍜🍜🍲🍲🍢🍢🍡🍡🍡🍳🍞🍞🍩🍩🍩🍮🍮🍦🍦🍨🍨🍧🎂🎂🍰🍫🍬🍭🍯🍎🍏🍊🍋🍋🍒🍒🍇🍉🍓🍑🍈🍌🍐🍠🍆🍅🌽 sorry for all the food emojis!
Wtf man
Lol
Marsha call me my mom wants to know if you want to come to my house
+marsha walters Marsha,can you come over today? I am having a party today.
thay should give out at school because schools food is gross
sKepTic, or in case of a natural disaster, such as hurricanes.
watching you eat that MRE made my mouth water, fyi i love them, i think they are delicious! I have had a few
Your endless enthusiasm is incredibly entertaining xD.
Yes, that is toilet paper. Most MREs would run through a person real quick.
HAHAHAHA
lol. Nice one.
that is because the gum is not actual for your breath, its laxative.
The mre peanut butter is the cure for that. It turns you to stone. You thought the commode was for washing your hands.
Yeah, I had diarrhea after eating one XD
When I was at a festival last year(Wacken) a friend brought some MREs for himself to eat. He got them because he has US connections. It was interesting to see, and how many different MREs there are.
Maybe I will buy some from the internet for the next camping/festival. They seem practical and good.^^
The actually have these at the us store in the mall 👍
They sell Ready To Eat Meals like those at those Camping Supply stores like REI
LilJosieLeAnn olivia Rose
I am from germany. It isnt that easy here to get MREs, as far as I know. Thats why it was kinda special to see that friend with them. His father(or uncle idk) works at the airbase in Ramstein. Thats where he got his. I would have to order from the internet, as no shop here sells them.
Ringo
Army surplus stores sell them.
If you're in Germany anyways you can also buy "Bundeswehr Einmannpackung" (Epa). From what I heard they taste much much better and there is a lot more stuff in it. Depends of course on which type of Epa you buy, but the big standard one weighs over a kilo and should be enough for a metal fan :-D They even contain some "real food" like a small bar of chocolate etc.
But I think they don't have heating solutions included. So you'll have to bring a portable stove, or an Esbitkocher (if you want to stay authentically military).
That was really cool to see and also you are so pretty!
Emmy, i love all your videos!!!
I was in the army in the 90's and spent just a bit of time in the field. MREs are still not so great even when you're very hungry. They are basically (sort of) palatable calories to get the job done. We never got the heating bag along with our MREs, we would just eat it all cold. There WAS one that was just horrible, I don't think they have it anymore, but it was a ham omelette. It was the rankest in smell and taste. Fellers had stories of it coming out the same way it went in.
OH! and my sergeants taught me to use the fruit beverage powder to kill fire ants. If you pour it dry into an ant hill, the ants either die or move out. (I don't know which, but they would disappear.) That worried me enough to make me not want to drink it.
You, Emmy, are very brave try these out and very kind not to make terrible faces.
laughingcat I remember that one! it was terrible! ever try the chicken a la king it was pretty good! how about the dried pork and beef patties! ( I joined the army in 1989) and retired a few year ago!
It s amazing that they eat these in the army. Where do you find these and why do they even let you have these if your not in the army.
+Zach Likes There are always ways.... ;)
You can buy these from any military surplus store. even Amazon sells them
+Zach Likes I loved MRE's
+Ally gomez Got these when Ike came along.
can get them on eBay or Amazon, or just Google mre.
hi! thanks for that MRE experience. that was fun : ) that looks like one of the pricier MREs. pretty cool and good job!
I am a former member of the Russian Federations Air-Landing Forces (VDV). Our rations were much different then the American chemical based ones. A Russian IRP (basically MRE) consists of
-
Water crackers or pilot bread (200 g)
Corned beef in a tin (250 g)
Pate or liverwurst (you spread this on your crackers) (100 g)
There was originally supposed to be a can of buckwheat and beef here, but I couldn't remember seeing anything similar to this in the US when I lived there, so replace this with a small can of baked beans or something.
Tin of mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, etc) (250g)
Small can of vegetable and meat soup, like beef stew or chili (250g)
Single-portion packet of Kool-Aid, Tang, etc
Single portion of coffee creamer
Single portion of jam/jelly/preserves
2 packets of instant coffee
2 teabags
2 packets of sugar
2 packets of salt
1 day's worth of multivitamins

Here's a photo of one of my old MRE's just so you can actually see the difference. i.imgur.com/nguWe9i.jpg
I think it would be interested to have you assemble and eat one of our IRPs.
Menu # 5 Grilled Chicken was my favorite MRE. Why? Because tasted great without heating it up.XD
Chicken pesto pasta and ravioli was pretty good too.
Heating*
I like the Mexican chicken stew with Santa Fe style rice and beans. For some reason, I LOVED the vegetable biscuits, and I searched for them to buy them separately.
jonathan perkins agreed on the grilled chicken. it was my first mre in basic. i was fortunate enough to get that on the day of the gas chamber. i must say it doesnt taste quite as good on the way back up...lol... bad day
Bruce B LOL Yeah. Glad I didn't eat before going in there. All I had was dry heaves, snot every where, and eye burning (didn't touch my eyes lol).
Bruce B Also....EYES OPEN, ARMS FLAPPING!!! LOL Can't never forget that.
I love this video so much it was so cute I hope you make other videos like it
My husband is a Marine and we actually have a ton of MREs lying around our pantry, but I've never actual seen one opened and eaten! Also, apparently the heating devices make little "bombs" to entertain bored Marines in Afghanistan, or so my husband told me when he returned. Great video! :)
Your voice seems deeper in this video than your other ones is it the microphone or are you sick? Love this video anyway
This was 2014...
+Ry 729 lmao
I don't notice a difference
Your hubby is one lucky dude.
This was so fun to watch. I have a lot of family members in the military (mostly army and marines) so we always had random, extra MRE packets around. It was so fun to try them out. I always really liked the burritos, I think. And some pasta dish. Fun to eat now and then as an experiment, but I'm not sure I would want them daily or for an extended period of time.
Not sure why this video has so many dislikes? I'm a Navy Nurse and these are the exact MREs we ate at Camp Legune during training. The ones we had in Combat areas were a bit newer. Thanks for this video, Friend. You are right ! They do fizz and smoke and get super hot! All the meals now have the hot sauce aand condiments packages now a days. It's so nice to have hot food in the field. This video may show your other viewers what we have to deal with in the field. Maybe, they'll be more grateful to their Veterans? Blessings to you! 😘
If that is actually chicken then I am Brittany Spears.
Then you are Brittany Spears. :)
Who's Brittany spears?
Christie Cheng An ancient tribal war chieftan.
Phillthy59 I actually, in real life, laughed out loud at this..."An ancient tribal war chieftan."!
Which is why I didn't just put lol. I think I strained my vocal chords because it was so sudden and unexpected.
of course it's chicken

Just found your videos on mre’s and it brought back memories. My dad was army and he would bring home boxes of them and thats what my siblings and i ate for lunch for the longest time. We thought it was the coolest thing ever. I mean it still is.
I love your enthusiasm to try new things.
Am I the only one who notices her voice sounds different in this video. Like it sounds deeper and not so soft. I mean it’s still nice, but it’s just not as soft as her newer videos. It could be the microphone
I noticed this too!
i could have sworn those "mints" were laxitives
yes!! my husband stopped me before I ate them!!
What is laxatives?

In the Indian army all they eat is rice......................
RICE POWA!
Welcome to the Rice Fields ? 0-0
hahahaha
gursangeet chana that is soooo not true
raja benadic sorry I meant to say Indian navy.
On the aircraft carrier "Aditiya" they mainly get served rice
Also they sometimes, get a little bit of curry to mix in with the rice.
The reason why they eat a lot of rice is due to how long lasting it is. And the fact that on the aircraft carrier they can get rid of the salt in the ocean water and then use it to boil the rice.
Meat is a lot harder to preserve and costs more money so they put meat in their rice sometimes.
Same goes with vegetables
gursangeet chana I thought they fed you the legs of the kids with the multiple legs in india
