I've never heard of a meal bag or any bag to heat up food in lol. And they go in the kettle? Also just learned about the hexamine stove. I'm clueless lol.
Do your MRE not boil in water? Isn't that the point of the foil bag? If not how do you heat yours?
You fold then stick 3-4 in your mess tin and fill it with water and heat it over a hexe cooker, then use the water to make tea or hot chocolate. :)
(edit: grammar)

Pretty popular down here in AU too.
Yeah. Haribo makes any detachment better
Haribos are soo good. I'd be fine dying of malnutrition if it meant I could live off of haribos for a while.

Lol only way to have a bikkie with a cuppa and the regulation dunking oops have to have a spoon handy to scoop out the bikkie that falls into the cup.
Complains that his oatmeal biscuit is really bland...later ponders what he could spread his apricot jam on.
Amen bro
Oatmeal biscuit has caused more fights over rat packs in the uk than any other food
Well, at the very top of the comments form here, he said he was clueless.

this guy is one of the few Americans i've seen who speaks very highly of the uk. great vid
and one of the few Americans capable of nuance
Completely disagree - he's the majority, it's a minority who shit on the UK from US and they're never from the military - same for Brits in reverse...I would agree though he has got the 'nuance' down better than most for sure
@@madzangels agreed. Most British and American people especially those of us who’ve served in the armed forces always talk highly of each other’s countries. When I was in Afghanistan we’d regularly socialise with the USMC guys and we’d swap and review each other’s ration kits. The USMC guys loved our bagged chicken curry and rice.
He really respects our uk military and our military history especially our special forces!

The reaction of disappointment of not having Yorkshire or pg tips is so overwhelmingly British that I am wondering if you are actually a British spy

I didn't notice until he got to the last ty-phoo tea bag. That he has a box of Yorkshire tea in the back ground. If I knew nothing about this guy. The box of Yorkshire tea would be enough for me to know he's a top bloke. Well done that man.
There's a big box of PG Tips there as well.
He was hammering the tea choices at about 3:50, asking where's the Yorkshire.
Honestley . If you want yorkshire tea to taste right you need yorkshire water .
If thats american yorkshire Tea its not the same, Its just a brand name that some company in the US bought the right to use (allot of companies swip and swap brand names for alternate stuff)
I served in Afghan (British Army) and I was amazed to find they sold Yorkshire Tea in their PX (a Base shop), until I found that out I was importing it through Amazon!. How my life changed.

You have a standard 24 Hour ration pack there my friend. There is also an artic one, a Halal one and also a vegetarian one. I think there's something like 10 menus now, there may be more as the menu contents do change quite a bit. The standard ones contain between 3000 and 4000 calories depending on the menu. The artic one has around 5500 calories. The artic one is lower in salt content but significantly higher in sugar content and is also lighter by at least half a pound. Conversely, we also have had rat packs specifically tailored for very hot climates, so have an increased salt content along with additional electrolytes. All "rat packs" can be eaten either hot or cold as they are precooked. However, they do taste better warmed up. There is now a choice of two heating methods. The majority of rat pack main meals you need to place the bag in heated water for a few minutes. This can be done using the hexamine stove, using the white bricks or paste, boiling vessels in vehicles etc. But there are now some rat packs much like your MREs which have a self heating element, though they are quite rare. The packs usually come with a small tabasco (red) bottle, though some have the green ones. Some come with a small tub of marmite or peanut butter instead of the jam. We still get the "biscuits brown" that is used with a spreadable cheese (passable), or can be broken up and mixed with the meals. If I remember correctly the main menus were designed by a top chief as well as some sports nutritionists, though the name of the chef escapes me.
The last artic one I had, contained an evil snack called "Kendall Mint Cake", which is basically mint flavoured high density sugar in a solid block, it is not a cake! It will rot your teeth in no time, but the calorie content is massive, so helps after cross country skiing. Top tip, do not give to children! We normally rationalise the packs, so only put essentials in the go bag (day sack), the rest stays with the Bergen. Weight management is still a serious issue, so water and sugary things go in the go bag, whilst the heavier items remain behind. You may cram in a main meal bag, but usually one is the limit. The plastic spoon gets binned, everyone has their personal preferences. I have a titanium spork (spoon one end and fork the other), that I have had now for probably 10+ years. The spoon is quite large for its size and being titanium is light, nearly unbreakable and never rusts. Personally, I love the Gurkha rat packs, these are Halal as some of the lads are Muslim, but if you like your curries, these are the ones to get!
PS Probably a bit childish, but one of the great things about MREs is that they can explode, who thought that up?
The tuna in sunflower oil one is absolutely rank heated up
What 24 menu do squaddies rate the best menu over all ?
You sound like you served. RESPECT

Not like the good old days, Bring back the biscuit brown, yorkies and tabasco

@@nigelpilgrim4232 Perhaps because the British Army is homogenous, i.e. it has soldiers of all ethnic groups and backgrounds, therefore you offer some Asian food. Seems logical to me.

Big respect from a Yorkshire man, because you know how to say Yorkshire. Also thank you for your service, might be from different sides of the pond, but I respect anybody who is in the military.
What a nice bloke this American marine is, a good ambassador for the American marines and his copuntry in general, and if a lot more Americans were as humble modest and open minded as this guy, America would be viewed far better by a lot of the world. He's fair, what more can you ask of anyone?
Stay safe my friend!
A nice chap, humble and he could rip your head off. I'm glad he's on our side. Maybe we can adopt him.
The most close minded, tractable people are anti-American.
Yorkshire? PG Tips? I am genuinely impressed by your knowledge! Ratpacks should never be eaten in a domestic environment, they can only ever be really appreciated in a freezing, soaking wet forestry block at 1am in the morning.
"Freezing, soaking wet forestry block at 1 am" sums up the North of England pretty well tbf
When you come out and get hold of a ration pack you gotta dig a big hole in your garden sit there in the rain and eat your ration pack

Nice one, Alan!
British soldiers fighting their way across France - and then Germany in 1944 / 5 - did the same back then.
I remember my father telling me that, as a P.o.W. in Reise-am-Elbe in 1944 / 5, he used to receive Canadian Red Cross parcels, which were much better than the British equivalent (understandably; food was a limited resource back home) and which contained luxury items - such as chocolate and scented (!) soap unknown to the wartime German Civil population.
Dad was a member of an Arbeitskommando of a hundred Ps.o.W. stationed in this small town on the Elbe where they were billeted in various 'Gast hauses' , and were used for (supposedly) non - war-related work - often working in the town's railway marshalling yards, agricultural work, etc.
One morning, he met an elderly German who was walking with his grandson of about 5 years-old, and they had a somewhat limited (Dad's German was pretty rudimentary) conversation.
Dad then reached into his pocket and pulled out his bar of chocolate and offered it to the German, pointing to the boy.
Seeing the German was looking somewhat suspicious, Dad unwrapped the chocolate and, breaking off a piece, ate it, and then handed the remainder of the bar to the man.
The boy was watching all this going on with some interest, no doubt wondering what was happening.
His Grandfather then broke off a piece and gave it to the boy who copied my father by putting it in his mouth. A few moments went by then the boy's eyes lit up with astonishment and he smiled at Dad.
It was obvious that this was the first time in his life that he had tasted chocolate.

Oatmeal block's. "Oat Biscuits" are fantastic! Either eat them dry as a biscuit or cook them with some hot water for a nice porridge.
Edit. We used the get the tea as a powder, tasted god awful. So some of us preferred mixing it with the coffee and it improved the taste greatly. Nostalgia really kicks in thinking about "coftea".

Also note we had an Empire. We had food from all over the planet for years so we have a taste for a wide variety of spicy foods.
Tell that to my mother
It started before that though, the Tudors and even before that were into spicy stuff in a big way (probably to disguise the fact that the meat was probably a bit off!)

The British army rations has really changed since my day glad to the all day breakfast has remained. The oatmeal block can be eaten two ways. You can eat it the way it is or mash it up in hot water to make porridge. Sporks was never included but we had our own and had the nickname of British army racing spoons

Shell Pasta holds more sauce and keeps it warmer for longer periods. Don’t you have Ritz Cheese crackers in the US?

Typhoo is black tea that is okay at best. It seems odd for a 24 hour British ration not to have 200 cups of tea in it. I am amazed our soldiers have not rebelled. You should have tried the korma.
The Army supplies "Norwegians" with equivalent of 200 brews in it, but using only 1 teabag, which has an aftertaste of "Range Stew" to it....
I used to love Typhoo. I grew up on it as my branded tea. I tried some again recently after a long gap and it doesn't seem as nice as it used to be. Didn't they call it Typhoo because it is from Thailand? I mostly drink Chai tea or Ceylon tea nowadays. Chai really warms you up, especially in Winter.
@@viper8177 There was some kind of pricing dispute with Typhoo and retailers - I don't remember details now - around that time the taste and quality dropped a lot IMO and I moved on to other brands. There were accusations that retailers who wouldn't go along with a pricing structure Typhoo wanted were being shipped an inferior product but I don't know the facts.
Korma? It was a Lamb Rogan Josh. perhaps he would have if he'd realised it was curry
If the American 'Colonists' had 'engaged brain', they would have arranged to have those involved in the Boston 'Tea Party' dressed in the uniform of 'German George's' 'Hessian' soldiers and making rude remarks about 'dodgy' 'Ty - phew!' tea in fake German accents.
The British soldiers would have ' thrown a wobbly' and 'jacked it' then and there, and promptly deserted to 'weigh in' on the side of the Colonists.

"Not sure if I'd take on a hike" nope for that you need good ole Kendel mint cake either variety. The mint that fueled us all the way to the poles and up mountains and back.
Edit: I've seen people taste test it but they take a BIG bite. If you don't mind refreshing sweet mint is fine but its meant to be nibbled over the hike.

A pretty good video.
The rat packs have certainly changed since I last had one, that's for sure. That's pretty gucci packaging for a start and even in its own little self contained bag? The luxuries. 24hr rat packs back in my day were just cardboard boxes that had to be unpacked, though they did have Yorkie chocolate bar with 'Not for civvies' on it, which was a nice touch.
Though never ever touched the orange fizz powder, no such thing as energy drinks or anything either iirc. Hard boiled sweets, yes, but no peanuts... They would have been awesome.
Boilies that the packaging melted in your jacket pocket if you did anything remotely strenuous so they just stuck to you. The memories.

@@kaiishere016 You can get beef sausage as well. Used to be easily available but haven't seen any for a while.

The Curry's so hot you leave a loo roll in the fridge
Yes as an Irish American English, it's very good the curry.
Shame you didn’t try the lamb roghan josh - we are curry obsessed here in UK. Sounds more varied than back in my day, when most peoples favorite ration pack item was a “babies head” - British military nickname for the tinned suet steak and kidney pudding.😋
Babies Head rushed me back to 1987!
Had my first "Babies head" on Dartmoor, Feb 1971. Last one 1988 somewhere near Warminster. Breakfast favourite was smashed oatmeal biscuit, condensed milk and the tube of jam, with a bit of hot "Oggin" (Water). Ah, the memories of life eating rat packs.
Ok. Big props on having the best tea available. I can see that Yorkshire box
You should have tried Rogan which is actually Rogan Josh - a medium spiced curry. I used to work for UK MOD and was involved in introduction of retort pack approach (replacing tins) in the late eighties.
Also involved in redesign of MRE content - balance between taste, cost and nutritional content. Simplest nutritional option was simple beef lard but no one would want to eat it.
Great channel.

Loving the Steve1989 reference. That man is an utter legend!
Pretty good that you liked it as much as you did considering the US and UK food preferences are a bit different generally. If you get the chance you do need to try the other main meals hot and out of the bag thought to get the feel. Oh and use the Spork or KFS that you carry in your kit rather than the comedy spare that comes in the brew kit. Think you guys maybe call Bolognese a Ragu. Just trying to think how I have seen it on a menu over there.

Umm Rat packs. I remember the old days with tins before we got the easy stuff. I loved the 'bacon' and rolled oats. There was no labeled food then and the coffee was dreadful, so we all drank tea. The rollos and chunky chocolate was great. I used to swap it with some freaks who loved the hard biscuits. I used to take chilli powder and garlic powder in the old 35mm film tubs. Matches are not for smokers lol. They are for our individual cookers :) You're too fussy with your food for a soldier! We were happy with anything out in the field.
The matches were also great for pranking the unit ponce stick one in a cig and let them smoke it and watch when the cherry hit the match. Good times. Used to love the yorky bars as well.
It looks pretty nice stuff these days. If your freezing cold in some miserable trench and it raining you'd eat anything. Also our rat packs used to be about 8 years old..
@@chrismalcomson7640 I was once in a competition over 5 days in Germany. After day 3, we were sick of the rat packs and it was crap weather, so our Rupert said let's get a pizza. 10 of us went into this place in Germany with all our gear and got some amazing pizzas. Those were the days :)
and dont forget the babys heads
@@chrismalcomson7640 8-year-old ratpacks are safe enough as long as you remove the "cheese, possessed."
With the oatmeal block, place it in some water with a little milk powder, bring to the boil and you got a half way decent porridge. Back in the good old days, when I was in, you used to get like a toothpaste tube with condensed milk and sugar, that and boiling water and you were good to go: which is the whole point of oatmeal. By the way, the 24 hr pack is designed so that if you happen to be in the SAS or their like, you can take out anything you have to cook and just take the cold items when you are on a covert OP. During the Falkland's war some of the SF that went ahead of the main landings lived on cold rations for three weeks. But, somebody didn't do their homework as a 24hr pack for Europe has only half the calories needed for a Falkland's winter.
And what do you mean "too many drinks", don't you know the British Army if fuelled on tea.
Good call with the Wedgwood Pottery, , they’re based just a mile away from me in Barlaston, Stoke on Trent (The Potteries) 👍🏻🫖☕️
New to this channel, I’m a Yorkshire girl, saw the Yorkshire tea ....and I’m hooked haha
Nothing is better than Yorkshire Tea pal👌🏻
Depends on the water. It tastes good if you have hard water (like in York), but it's pretty acidic on soft water.
Ringtons tea comes close
Tips all the way
@@tSp289 In Yorkshire even the water is hard.
keirfree senior hi thanks for the comment Keith ya nonce😍
As a Brit, I found this video very interesting. It's always funny to see other countries try British food. I don't believe sesame seeds give false positive readings with drug tests per se; I believe that would be poppy seeds (common with bagels, salad dressings and some granola bars).
Handsome guy love the videos. Keep up the great work
So an American, living in Korea, still knows Yorkshire Tea is the best, i'm so proud
And knows how too say it properly too
I have U.K. ration menu 1 in my garage …..2200 Yorkshire tea bags 😂
I was not expecting Hat Films to be in this video 😂😂
In the UK normal civvie food, i.e anything you'd buy in a standard shop/supermarket, is all in calories(kilocalories), but it's supposedly more scientifically accurately representative of the energy you get from the food/drink to use kilojoules, 4 kiljoules is roughly 1 calorie(kilocalorie), from memory.
stop calling people with real jobs "civvies" its so cultish... i paid your wages to go shoot innocent people.
Brill Smith who hurt you pal 😂
Brill Smith why you got the hump lad. Relax. Besides they protect you so start showing a bit more appreciation.
@@brillsmith2207 Civvie....it just means civilian...... as opposed to armed forces.... What's so bad about abbreviating?
Calorie (capital 'C') is a kilocalorie (small 'c')
I tend to buy loose leaf tea from a shop in my home city in the UK - Atkinsons of Lancaster. Tend to buy the Lancaster blend (they do do tea bags as well but prefer loose leaf)
Creamer in tea???? SACRALIDGE.
Instant coffee is ok in an emergency or out in the field but not at any other time of the day
