26:13, regarding the coffee, Swedes usually likes really strong coffee. I remember when my father was deployed in the US, they had to import Swedish coffee because they thought American coffee was weak.
American coffee is horrendous. Don’t know how people can drink their coffee. Well I do; they put tonnes of sugar, creamers and milk in it to hide the taste of coffee. There actually documentaries on why American coffee is so bad.
This is true. While on vacation with family members on an American cruise ship a few years ago we suffered the loss off strong coffee until we found a solution to make a semblance of what we are used to (Swedes drink the second most coffee in the world after the Finns.) our solution was to order two double espresso, pour those into a big coffee mug, then add one packet of insta coffee, mix and that was ok to drink.
I think "bitter/dark" is a better term for it. Unless I remember wrong coffee for the Swedish market is roasted unusually dark, which will be perceived as "strong" or bitter unless you're used to it. Not sure why, and might be bullshit. Who knows!
You made a misstake with the peanutbutter. It kind of separates when in storage so you should massage and shake it before opening it to get it mixed back up then they are fantastic! And you are right the Rice Pudding is a breakfast and it is brilliant when it is -30C outside. The crunch in the rice if you had it is a mistake but that is a mistake most make when cooking it as it is the most difficult one to get right in the Blå Band offering.
they also put waaaay to much water in that bag, judging by the consistency. also, personally i would never ever mix in the strawberry jam or which ever they had into the rice pudding, just keep it as a topping and take as much as u want per spoon
Regarding the coffee we (Swedes) like ours coffee really strong. When the spoon can stand straight up by itself in the mug, then it’s strong enough, as we say. Abroad we usually have one coffee pot for the swedes and another for the locals.
On a home guard training exercise a few years ago, the highest ranking specialist rank officer of the Swedish home guard visited my unit, it was a cold, rainy October day at around 1130, and the man hadn't even had a cup of morning coffe... When told we didn't have any ready made coffee, he asked for a pair of those 24h pack coffee powder tubes, got two and he just ripped the top off both, poured them into his mouth and rinsed them down with a single folding cup of cold field canteen water...😅 The Swedish armed forces really run on three non-combat consumables: instant coffee, pea soup with pork, and, last but most critical: snus. Never put yourself between a Swedish soldier and his next resupply of snus... it will end badly for you, and you might not even get a warning...
Blå Band has been the go to brand for hikers since the 50ies, the name comes from a slang word for a canal from Gothenburg on the west coast to Stockholm on the east coast. There are other brands now, but Blå band is the OG.
Might not be in the MRE but to this day there is a Tradition in Sweden to Eat split yellow pea soup with fläsk with pancakes and mustard on Thursdays. Something the military in Sweden has done from the early 1900- hundreds.
And the old military ration can of the pea soup is still sold under the Knorr brand while the ration cans was retired from service in 2003/2004 and replaced with freeze dried or flameless heater bag MREs
Both in Sweden and Finland, pea soup began to be eaten no later than the 13th century due to the influence of the Catholic Church, as Thursdays required a hearty meal in preparation for Friday's fasting. In Sweden, pea soup is made typically from yellow peas, while in Finland, it is made from green peas.
Those Blå bands are sold in finland too and are sometimes given in finnish MREs too. The spaghetti bolognese on were given to us on top of the MREs as a before the forest meal.
The pudding is a breakfast item, It's one of those things nobody eats. There is always a "leftover" box in every platoon-storage filled to the brim with those.
It's NOT calories, it's kilocalories. In USA they mark it Cal but it's actually Kcal. USA does everything wrong, thats why people don't know how much anything is. And people in USA think they use the imperial sustem but dosn't. For example a gallon of liquid give you 3.785 litre but a imperial gallon is 4.546 litre. Just use litre and you mix your food right and can understand that 1 calorie has energy to warm 1 gram of water 1 degree Celcius.
Yes. Both consumers and manufacturers being lazy and dropping the critically important prefix of "kilo" makes them be off by three orders of magnitude (a thousand times too much, or one thousandths the intended amount of energy). Using the proper SI unit of joules (J) for energy might work if people were to learn it, but 2000 kcal being 8.37 MJ (megajoules) or 8374 kJ (kilojoules) it's more likely to lead to once again people refusing to learn anything new and also dropping the prefixes of mega or kilo, and leading to even more confusion... (While on the topic, I must note that it's small k, not capital K - that would not be any established prefix; instead it'd be "Kelvin", the unit for temperature in the SI system. Water freezes at 273.15 Kelvin or zero degrees Celsius; furthermore these two units are the same size which makes conversions between scientific notation and everyday observations a breeze.)
@@Thepigeon45 After seeing a couple of these types of videos, it's no wonder why. ;) But then again, they also read the hourly clock wrong as well so...
I always keep a could of Pasta Bolognese from 24hourmeals in my car and a couple of heatingbags as well :) Great quick food when going long distances and when my fiancée say the dangerous words "I'm starting to get a bit hungry." and the 60 second timer has started before the hangry sets in
This is the dry-ration pack. It contains roughly 4800-7000 kcal depending on the menue and if it´s ranger-adapted. They are primarely used during the winter months because the "wet-rations" are frozen solid during those times of the year. Dry rations contain more kcal than the wet ones because the winter climate is much more demanding and requires more kcal not only because of the work you do but overall. Shivering from the cold is you´re body trying to create muscle spazms to create chemical reactions and kcal burning in your body even when you´re not walking or running around. Thus why you need more kcal even when standing still. You also need to hydrate more since you need to pee more often in cold weather due to the blood gathering around the inner organs and passing through the kidneys more than in warm weather when the blood is more or less equally distributed in the body. The philosophy behind the rations are *Fast carbs and sugers in the morning to get that caloric burner going on your body. THis is to increase the body tempeture first thing in the morning. *Lunch and dinner are more slow carbs and some protein. Generally you need to supplement protein with various powders. These meals are made to put in a steady flow of energy throughout the day. Bars, berrys and nuts are there to provide backup energy for longer rucks and skiing-marches. Winter warfare 101 is to always make sure you have hot water in a thermos at all times. This means every swedish soldier will, during winter times, always boil water when there´s time. THis is to ensure you can "heat up" the body from within with warm food and drinks even when you´re not able to move around all too much (recon units). All in all the dry rations are way tastier than the wet ones. The wet ones taste narly and contain A LOT of oil and other cheap tricks to fill up the caloric requirements. The wet rations comes with chemical heating bags. They work "decent" only.
Awesome vid! Turned out great 👍 You forgot to mention though that this is an "arctic" MRE, thus the extra Kcal (and the "fourth" freeze dried meal bag). I guess the flameless heaters doesn't work too well in extremely low temperatures, or that a "wet" MRE with an extra meal would just be too heavy 🤷♂️ Greetings from the "actual Swedish people" who handed you the material 👋
winter military operations are among the hardest you can get, even these are marginal as to the required energy. also Blåband is in every food store here, ut is decent meals for outdoors and quick meals.
@@ouilegdsart yup, regular non-arctic winter ration. The non-arctic summer ration comes with flameless heater bags and doesn't have it's meals dehydrated in any way.
Many connect the ricepudding with home and childhood I think. At least in Europe. So maybe it may not be the best recipe but it does something positive with the soul and thats as much as important as the food itself.. I imagine? Thank you guys for this one. ❤ I love how 'Joseph' always gets excited and Bruno gets carried away like he is in a cooking show and the random noises from the kids, like dad tries to be semi-serious but they add the perfection everytime 😂❤
I remember when I was in lumpen (military service) all the brands we used was "Kronans". The hot chocolate was awesome, mixed with water. I actually to this day miss the taste. It's been 25 years since I did my service. Good times.
Blå bandet = Blue ribbon. World pioneers in the process of freeze dried food. There are a hundred of their products in any Swedish store. Ah, the rose hip soup…
That meal looks like a arctic meal, we have a variety of MRE's and the ones with 4 meals is usually the arctic one since you spend a lot more calories operating in arctic conditions! The best one is the pasta with cheese and vegetables! // Arctic warfare mechanized infantry since 2013
I was waiting for the reaction on the "dark" chocolate haha. Me and my buddies loved it during our mandatory service, but guys come on that's not dark! And I'm a picky eater! ;) Nice video, I agree on the bars, the fruity ones are weird. But the licorice is aweful
Blå band is the best freeze dried food on the market 👍🏻 Next time, fold out the bottom of the pack by gently tearing the bottom side flaps apart a few centimetres. It will stand more solid on the table!
Blå band and 24hour meal are the only Swedish products in this ration pack, the rest are a mix of brands from other countries. I already knew you weren't going to like the rice pudding, we Swedes like it a bit differently than Americans.
The main meals, the rice and the pasta, is made by Blå Band, a company that has made freeze dried food for decades, they have come a long way when it comes to flavor and dishes. For a military ration pack, it's good food.
❤ When you have been out all day, coming back to your camp, you eat the nuts and chocolate like crazy. Waiting for the other food to get ready. Calories matters
A number of those things are OrifO branded, which is a Danish manufacturer. I've seen their stuff in a few countries around that area. Seems to be well liked. :)
We make porridge out of semolina haha! We call it mannagrynsgröt, and we also make porridge out of sushi rice, and when you make too much, we can make pudding out of it and other stuffs. It's a normal thing, especially sushi rice porridge around christmas, but we do eat it year round, randomly.
NATO standard.. Our MRE:s have matched most other nations for quite some time. It has to do with the whole "Work together for the UN forces etc" thing... :D So a lot of the stuff inside is basically the same from the same manufacturers.
love dark coffe because i always have it with milk. Also a big fan of dark chocolate. Less sweet. I cant stand when chocalate just taste fat and sugar. no rich flavours. Chocolate should taste a little fruity.
The blue and gold wigs were really rockin' the 50th anniversary win by ABBA of the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Waterloo" in 1974. A first such win for Sweden.
We have 3 diffrent 24hour meals with diffrent insides, everyone was rushing to not get the rice pudding!! And I was always okay energy wise the days I got it. You either try to trade for the caramel bar or just threw it away hahah
Our soldiers are well fed, the food in Swedish MRE's is proper food and by brands commonly seen in every grocery store, and the meals themselves can be purchased online or in stores selling hiking gear. It may not be full on the same kit as for the military, but close enough. Another thing to notice, the beverage bases don't look radioactive, partly because us Scandinavians don't care for stupidly strong colors on food and drinks, and partly because we don't use the same food coloring as America does (a lot of food coloring used in America is banned here due to being proven harmful or potentially harmful) Semolina is a part of a the wheat grain. Here in sweden we often use Semolina to make porridge or a kind of drinkable porridge. All you need to make Semolina porridge is milk, semolina and a pinch of salt and cook it together on fairly low heat while constantly stirring. One tablespoon of Semolina per 100ml (1deciliter) of milk for porridge, if wanting to make the drinkable version it works well to just halve the amount of Semolina in the milk so it doesn't thicken up as much. The porridge is nice with some strawberry or raspberry jam on top and a dash of milk. The drinkable version is nice as is, or together with a sandwich
Hello former Swedish army guy here imva actually old enough to remember the old rations called guldburk. Thank god thats no longer a thing ask her husband about guldburk and likfingrar (corpse fingers) guldburk is golden can in english.
Great video! but you guys had bad luck with the breakfast. When i was active in the swedish military a few years ago this was the one my platoon and company disliked the most. And those who got it in their 24h meal bag always tried to trade it for another breakfast with another soldier who didint get i. And usualy had to give up some snacks to compensate for a "fair" trade.
Were you guys calling Josh Joseph? Am I insane, isn’t his name Joshua? 😂 I’m so confused now! I love all 3 of you together but poor Bruno needs a little chef outfit too, he’s so left out 😢

Random fact. Blå band is Swedish for cordon bleu. They don’t quite reach that ambition though.
I sense you need to step up the costumes in future videos. I expect lederhosen for the next German MRE.
Oh just wait….
The hair😮 nice❤😂
Mat fra Skandinavia er godt! Det er også sundt❤
The only thing missing was the 3 of you breaking out in some kinda beer drinking song or some yodelling...🤪
Akvavit. Yodeling is SWITZERLAND not Sweden. Maps. ;)
Or "Dancing Queen."
And also, if the coffee is too bitter, it's made for milk and some sugar ;) Cleans your bowels right on out! Hahaha)

im Swedish and happy when you removed those "wigs" they looked really uncomfortable
275ml is 25ml less than 3dl

Why do you have Christmas music playing?

All three of you look like some version of mad Lionel Richie, especially Tyler :) Hello!
ABBA has changed completely, everyone says so.
250ml is 1 cup
How much is a cup ?
@@birrextio6544 A US cup is 237 ml so 250 ml is pretty close.
Bangs are the worst! Right guys?
2025 we have surstömming in it..try it very good!
Great video! but you guys had bad luck with the breakfast. When i was active in the swedish military a few years ago this was the one my platoon and company disliked the most. And those who got it in their 24h meal bag always tried to trade it for another breakfast with another soldier who didint get i. And usualy had to give up some snacks to compensate for a "fair" trade.
Idk but I think you’re supposed to make chocolate milk with water and the chocolate bar like oboy swedes will understand
Don't know how much 270 ml is? Ever had a coke in a 330 ml can? Is about that much but little less...
Like 1/2 dl less. ;)
@@Limestream73 Don't makes things harder now.... 🤣
youtube compression really hates those wigs lol
I was expecting something weird, like surströmming or messmör!
There’s nothing wrong with messmör!! Delicious!😋
@@PernillaArtistic Jag bara skojade!

Sweden here, thanks for the wigs :D
Should have gone the whole hog and got a blue sparkly moustache!
The NASCAR is waaay too funny
Were you guys calling Josh Joseph? Am I insane, isn’t his name Joshua? 😂 I’m so confused now! I love all 3 of you together but poor Bruno needs a little chef outfit too, he’s so left out 😢
