My partner and I watched your videos every night before bed. He passed away in September 2022… this is my first year without him. Your ration videos were his favorite. Just wanted to thank you for posting and Happy New Year!
I love that they included the vitamin D3 because of the potential for lack of sunlight. Very forward thinking. Most impressive and comprehensive ration pack I've seen. Kudos to the Netherlands!
Research suggests everyone can use extra D3, even up to 50 times the daily amount. And it has a slew of potential health benefits. Makes sense because our bodies were evolved in sunny climates, we spent all day outside with few if any clothing.
This is not vitamin D. It is D3, totally different. Vitamin D helps with calcium and phosphorus retention whereas vitamin D3 helps your body absorb the energy from the food being digested. Makes perfect sense in this case as long as you do not take too much.
I always love seeing international MREs. My dad was in the army for 20 years and one of the first things he did when going to a new country was trade MREs with the local soldiers. They were just as excited and curious as he was. It seems to be one of those universal, human things we all share. I find that comforting.
So, I have an instant coffee tip- reconstitute the granules first with cold water - the hot water actually injures the freeze dried granules. Once rehydrated then add hot water. It totally changes the flavour of the coffee !
As a canadian... I think than those Arctic Dutch Ration are impressive...could have this at home, in case of power outage during winter! They look amazing compare to many others!
The Dutch army uses two types of rations - a regular ration and an arctic ration for cold-weather operations. The packaging for the regular ration is made out of cardboard while the arctic ration is packaged in a plastic pouch. The arctic ration contains freeze dried meals and porridge for breakfast and has a higher level of calories. The Dutch Army also has an emergency ration but these are only supplied in time of war. They contain dry blocks similar to the Datrex or Mainstay survival bars.
As someone who really hates salty stuff, I think this MRE would be a dream compared to most of the ones reviewed where things are super packed with salt. The isotonic beverages can keep your salt levels safe, and don't forget they gave you salt packets to add to taste!
As a collector and reviewer of rations, I have to say that the Dutch 24 hour ration is one of the best. A ton of food, comprehensive menus and side item choices. Lastly, the drinks are tasty and plentiful. Thanks for sharing :-)
As someone who lives in the Netherlands, its p interesting to see how some of this stuff is actually pretty similar to things you could buy in the stores here. Like the biscuits, the tomato soup and beef broth especially is familiar enough I could name brands that look like it haha. Also not surprising the spicy sauce wasn't very hot! We really don't eat or are used to spicy food at all. It's fun to see how you really can tell this is made for the stereotypical Dutch palette
@@user-sk4nt5bm5r Yeah, there are a lot of Dutch people who have a high spice tolerance because their traditional cooking is spicey. But in restaurants the taste is usually adjusted to the typical Dutch palette - not that spicey. There's nothing wrong with that, we just aren't as used to it.
@@user-sk4nt5bm5r yes there are but as an immigrant, the Dutch palate in general is very bland. I was very surprised by this when I moved. Thankfully due to the other cultures here, you can get access to good spices and flavour but just look at traditional Dutch food. It’s bland, no offence but it is. Everything labelled spicy here is not even remotely spicy
Watched this with my hubs, an Army Vet, who absolutely gobsmacked at the variety and flavors that were included in this hahah (out of pure jealousy 🤣) The amount of chili mac and infamous “vegetable omelets” he ate in his rations still make him shudder hahah what a nifty exploration - thanks, as always, Emmy!
I’m Belgian and we have a lovely cuisine. I live 30 minutes car drive from the border with the Netherlands and their food is even better than ours! More variety. Lots of exotic and Indonesian influenced food
As a young man in Uncle Sam's service I completed Arctic ( a.k.a.Cold weather ) Survival ( a.k.a. S.E.R.E.= Survival , Escape , Resistance and Evasion ) training and one of my memories was always being hungry and cold .We would easily consume 5000 calories a day of C rations and a locally manufactured Pemmican ( a mixture of suet , dried meat and dried berries ) and it was never enough , you could never eat enough to keep warm due to your metabolism running so high.
Thank you for going through all that, and for sharing the assurance with us. Even sheltering at home, when it gets chilly, I get hungrier. In the harrowing frost, I, too, would be glad of the suet, and eat it all.
That's why we have the seal hunts. People don't understand that. High calorie food is needed and a way to control the seal population that is decimating the cod population.
@@LifeOfNigh And that's yet another reason not to be in favor of forcing everyone to go vegan, and to leave that as a personal choice. As if the fact that various disabilities can make veganism impossible for some folks wasn't reason enough (and sometimes it's down to the way a specific person's disability manifests and not a universal trait). Because if you have to kill animals for a good reason, universal veganism would just mean all of those animals end up in the trash and contribute to the landfills, when some could have otherwise been eaten and provided food.
The Vitamin D3 makes sense given the potential lack of sunlight where they are deployed. I love this ration amongst those you have previously reviewed.
Hot sauce cures a multitude of culinary ills. The beef bullion probably would be good to flavor the potatoes. It would give it the salt and extra flavor. I don't think I would add the whole thing but some could work
I do not understand that inclusion. Salted nuts and the isotonic drinks would provide plenty of electrolytes. And there are tons of hot drinks in there. The only part of the ration I don't understand
Love these ration taste test videos. May I suggest the Compact Provision's BP-5s Emergency rations. One box feeds an adult for one day. It may also help to bring light to how these rations are distributed worldwide during disasters and is currently being used in Ukraine. Maybe even a 3-day challenge trying it both dry and as a porridge.
I love love your videos! Your vocabulary is refreshing. The way you explain every little tidbit of flavor, textures, even the packaging.. You're just so satisfying in the way you execute your videos. I'm a huge fan of yours. I've been watching your videos for a loooong time. They're my go-to when I'm looking for something to take my mind off things. I appreciate you. You're awesome! 👍👍👍👍
Emmy, I'm surprised you've never tasted apricot jam before. I'm surprised because apricot jam is a frequent ingredient in many main dishes --things like pork chops glazed with apricot jam, it's also included in some chicken glaze recipes. Highly recommend!
I’ve never heard that apricot jam is frequent ingredient in many main dishes. But you said just pork chops and chicken and I’ve been to many restaurants in different states and invited to friends or families homes and there’s no apricot jam in their main dishes, not even on pork chops or used for glaze on chicken. Maybe it depends where you live. Some people don’t like the taste of apricots or apricot jam. Don’t be surprised when someone hasn’t tasted it before, to each their own. My mom loves apricot jam and plum jam but only on her toast. 😁
This actually sounds super tasty! Like with MREs I know you have to adjust your expectations, you're not comparing to home cooking, but this with all the snacks and drinks seems genuinely nice?? Like I'll take dinner being reconstituted if I get hot cocoa and tomato soup and Nutella and pb and cashews and teas and biscuits!
I love your reaction to the soup! You should try the other flavors if you like those crunchy croutons! But it is usually not in a bowl but in a cup! It is actually called cup a soup.
This one was a blast! You have a way of making things I would never eat seem enticing. Ramen, for instance. I have never liked it, or Cup Noodles, but you make it look delicious. You should be a food critic! Happy New Year.
As it is always the case with your videos your love for the subject shows. Hope that does not change in 2023. Have a wonderful year Emmy. Thanks for the smiles and the learning you provided in 2022. Here is to new year.
In my country, South Africa, Apricot jam is our staple jam and I love it. It is used in pastries and puddings as well as we prefer that slightly tart taste to the overwhelming sweetness of strawberry jam. Our peanut butter and jelly is also done with apricot jam
So to just to explain alittle. It's common for the Dutch to always drink coffee with a biscuit. And also in the winter to have soup as a later afternoon snack. And its common to drink warm tea with your lunch and dinner meal.
Happy New Year, Emmy! This is the earliest I have ever caught a video. My 11 year old son and I love your videos! You are such a precious person! Thanks for being you ❤️
I love your expressions and commentaries for all your videos! My mom and I watch every Sunday after lunch. Keep doing what you are doing, it’s so enjoyable and entertaining. Like this MRE!!
You know that says "Artic" Emmy. They have to share with the polar bears😉🐾 fabulous ration vid tho! These are some of my very favorites of your playlists. Perfect for a kind of quiet NYE. Thanks Emmy! Take care and Happy New Year to everyone.🙏🎉🌷
I’ve been watching these videos since 2015, from when your channel name was “emmymadeinjapan” -Love you Emmy, Hope you and your family are doing well and healthy ❤ Happy new year!
No the tomato soup and beef bouillon are meant to be prepared in a cup, it’s like a in between fast hot soup drink, mainly office people drink them and people who want to lose weight since it’s around 30cal per mug. The main brand we use in the Netherlands is cup-a-soup
I would bet they expect that the meals are had at meal time and every 2/3 hours they have a snack and drink. Or they seperate it into 4/5 mini meals. Especially one right after waking and a nice warm filling one right before bed so their body has energy to keep warm. Nice video. Love the unboxing for the same reasons.. love the surprise element.
Aww man I love Emmy’s MRE videos-- let alone any of her videos! Anytime Emmy describes something’s shes eating… I feel like I’m eating too! Lol she describes things soooo well
For those living in the USA…do not order foreign MREs from MRE Mountain. The packages are now routinely intercepted by US Customs. MRE Mountain simply says - not their problem. Buyer beware. You have been advised.
Yay! Currently learning Dutch and I love learning about new cultures so when I saw you posted this I was high over the moon to watch 😂 Happy New Years Emmy! 🎉
Here's a completely useless, but hilarious phrase the Dutch actually use, if you don't already know it l: "Helas pindakaas." It means "unfortunately, peanut butter." As I understand it, it loosely translates to "It is what it is."
That was a considerable amount of food. The soldiers can’t be permitted to starve to death.. Emmy even just tasting a bit of each is a daunting task. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆
apricot is my favourite jam!!! crazy that you haven't had it, it's quite popular here in germany and surroundings :) my mom makes it in the summer and its the best
If you can find it, Gatorade, here in the states, does make a green apple flavor! it's my favorite but it can be a pain to find!! This 24 MRE looked absolutely delicious!!
@@jasonrhodes9683 if they're in cold weather they're going to need the extra calories to stay warm. and i would imagine that the plastic can keep the weight and size down.
Your so fun to watch and a good language teacher in this video. During the jam and biscuit tasting with tea you said a new word " yeroh " or something like that. Probably your children taught you that language.
May I recommend: if you ever travel in the South of France (not necessarily Provence) look for apricots. I ate an apricot purchased from a stand near Le Gouffre. It was as big as my fist. When I bit into it, the juices ran down my arm. Apricots are next level peaches, if you can find good ones.👍🏻💯🤗💋I have never found a decent apricot stateside…I believe they exist-most likely in your region. Please, do some research. A good fresh apricot is like nothing else. I learned that as a true surprise.
Happy New Year! That one drink from the lunch gave you a bit of trouble even when you poured out 😜 poor Emmy. It's part of why we LOVE you ❤️ You always make us and many others happy and why we chose to bring the new year in with our favorite Lady! Love to you and your family in the new year and always ❣️
"it's not spicy, kind of like a curry..". As a born and raised (smalltown) Dutchie, I can tell you most of us are not at all accustomed to spicy food. We mostly(/originally) grew up with boiled and/or steamed potatoes, veggies, some meat and a light gravy as a weekday meal. I never had anything spicy growing up. The first time I used a seasoning like chilli flakes was when I was already in my 20s 🙈
That's such a huge amount of food and caffeine, feels like it could be a 48h ration, but I guess if it's cold and you travel through snow... feels like you could spend the whole day eating though 😅
Hi Emmy, Don't know if you know this but RUclips has flagged your video. Giving it a warning about conting topics relating to suicide or self harm. Serious have no idea how RUclips manages to get these things so wrong. Hope you have some luck contacting them to have the flag removed. Thanks for your awesome work, really love your channel :)
Love the channel. It would be nice to see a quick shot of the nutrition panel on the items, just a couple of seconds, to be able to pause it and read the values. My guess this one has to be 4000+ cal. Great for Arctic heavy combat, and enough for a few people in a low activity survival situation.
When I have chocolate bars that have bloom, I have had success carefully heating them a bit in the microwave. Timing is important because it's easy to melt them all over the place. After heating, let them cool.
Hi Emmy! I have a video suggestion. I was thinking of making the mochi donuts you featured a few years ago, but found a few recipes that dont use tofu and are piped instead of rolled. If you would be willing to do a video using a piped recipe and comparing to the rolled techniques I think it would be very informative about how different recipes for the same dish can be. Love your videos, happy new year
Between the generally high caloric count of 24 hr military ration packs (since they pack enough for someone who is being extremely active while potentially carrying lots of heavy stuff) and the fact that when it's cold you need way more calories to do the same level of activity, you are definitely set up for an absolute feast for the average person
Emmy, I so enjoy your videos, I just love how you really get excited about certain food and drinks. I love watching your ration videos. Your the best 😊
My partner and I watched your videos every night before bed. He passed away in September 2022… this is my first year without him. Your ration videos were his favorite. Just wanted to thank you for posting and Happy New Year!

I’m so sorry!!
I'm so sorry, what a terrible loss. I hope you have good people around to hold you in your grief ❤️
My husband passed in May 2022, and we loved to watch this channel too. I am so very sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss 😞 he will always be with you in spirit ❤️

In reality very little Vitamin D is obtained through the sun and skin. Most of your daily vitamin d is dietary and is through your food.

We did the same thing in Europe. We would trade rations with the Germans, Brits, French. Theirs were so much better than ours.
That's pretty cool to know, thank you for sharing your dad's experience!
This is a possible answer to my question as to why the Dutch labels were also in English. Interesting!
A good meal is enjoyed gratefully no matter where you're from.
Makes me rerealize just howwars are fought in the interest of the few, not the many.

As a canadian... I think than those Arctic Dutch Ration are impressive...could have this at home, in case of power outage during winter! They look amazing compare to many others!
The most Canadian comment ever 😂
We Floridians would appreciate this MRE too, as we often have power outages after tropical storms and hurricanes. 😊

The Whey Powder is generally used as a cream, eg. Sprinkled in the muesli and rice pudding to thicken/enrich and also as a coffee/tea creamer.
Man the size of this MRE gives a whole new meaning to the saying "If it ain't Dutch it ain't much!" Really enjoyed this episode

Yeah it definitely seems like this would both meet the calorie and nutrient needs of the soldiers but also be very tasty!

As a young man in Uncle Sam's service I completed Arctic ( a.k.a.Cold weather )
Survival ( a.k.a. S.E.R.E.= Survival , Escape , Resistance and Evasion ) training
and one of my memories was always being hungry and cold .We would easily consume 5000 calories a day of C rations and a locally manufactured Pemmican
( a mixture of suet , dried meat and dried berries ) and it was never enough , you
could never eat enough to keep warm due to your metabolism running so high.
Thank you for going through all that, and for sharing the assurance with us.

As someone from around Seattle- very logical addition, we have frequent issues with lack of D3 as well
Love when you do longer videos
These ration taste tests are probably my favorite series you do! Sooooo interesting!!
Wow, that is a lot of food for 24 hours! I think that could last a few days if needed. These are always fun to see.
Hot sauce cures a multitude of culinary ills. The beef bullion probably would be good to flavor the potatoes. It would give it the salt and extra flavor. I don't think I would add the whole thing but some could work
I do not understand that inclusion. Salted nuts and the isotonic drinks would provide plenty of electrolytes. And there are tons of hot drinks in there. The only part of the ration I don't understand
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 There are a good dozen beverages in the ration. You could have a beverage every 75 minutes during the entire day!

indeed. she explains things a very simple way, not trying to bé too scientific and stuff: plasticky etc😂 the main thing is : it is fun to watch❤
This has been my favourite MRE. There's enough food for like 2 days in it and everything looks delicious.
The soup is like a Cup-a-soup, which I always drink at around 3 or 4 at work in a big mug. It's also nice to drink with a sandwich 🥪 😋
Also makes a great thin gravy … the beef one added to the mash. Yum!
You could probably make a really good trail mix from the lunch items of chocolate peanuts and dried cranberries
Crumble the biscuits in too, yum!
That was my first thought when they had the cashews and cranberries in the same package together and I have never had trail mix in my life hahaha
Emmy, I'm surprised you've never tasted apricot jam before. I'm surprised because apricot jam is a frequent ingredient in many main dishes --things like pork chops glazed with apricot jam, it's also included in some chicken glaze recipes. Highly recommend!
I’ve never heard that apricot jam is frequent ingredient in many main dishes. But you said just pork chops and chicken and I’ve been to many restaurants in different states and invited to friends or families homes and there’s no apricot jam in their main dishes, not even on pork chops or used for glaze on chicken. Maybe it depends where you live. Some people don’t like the taste of apricots or apricot jam. Don’t be surprised when someone hasn’t tasted it before, to each their own. My mom loves apricot jam and plum jam but only on her toast. 😁
9:03 “it’s like a coffee essence that is hot… and slightly burned… I love it” is probably the best thing I’ve heard today!
I was hoping Steve would have a New Years surprise upload or something, but Emmy uploading an MRE video is just as *nice*
Same thoughts. But there was the bad gusset design spill.
Sadly no hiss
Throwback to Emmy mixing apple jam in water. 9:51 😂
I remember that loll
The og fans were there 🤣
This actually sounds super tasty! Like with MREs I know you have to adjust your expectations, you're not comparing to home cooking, but this with all the snacks and drinks seems genuinely nice?? Like I'll take dinner being reconstituted if I get hot cocoa and tomato soup and Nutella and pb and cashews and teas and biscuits!
That is probably the most impressive ration I've ever seen. Wonder if the beef bullion was for the beef and mash?
This was my thought as well
Or as beef broth to drink
I love your reaction to the soup! You should try the other flavors if you like those crunchy croutons! But it is usually not in a bowl but in a cup! It is actually called cup a soup.

Isn't the beef bouillon thing supposed to go into the potatoes and beef thing? Give it a little more flavour and salt?
Having had it as broth and with other parts of the MRE, honestly I think I prefer this as a separate broth

That was a considerable amount of food. The soldiers can’t be permitted to starve to death.. Emmy even just tasting a bit of each is a daunting task. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆
apricot is my favourite jam!!! crazy that you haven't had it, it's quite popular here in germany and surroundings :) my mom makes it in the summer and its the best
Omg 14:42 lol, the way she says wow, so funny. These videos are so enjoyable.
YES MRE!!!!! Love you emmy! Happy New Year! ♥
If you can find it, Gatorade, here in the states, does make a green apple flavor! it's my favorite but it can be a pain to find!! This 24 MRE looked absolutely delicious!!
That is one jam-packed ration meal pack!😮
Looks like they might actually have too much food. A lot of weight and trash to keep track of.
@@jasonrhodes9683 if they're in cold weather they're going to need the extra calories to stay warm. and i would imagine that the plastic can keep the weight and size down.
Your so fun to watch and a good language teacher in this video. During the jam and biscuit tasting with tea you said a new word " yeroh " or something like that. Probably your children taught you that language.
The resealable standing bag is actually a Swedish invention and is also in the Swedish rations.
Happy New Year Emmy! May it be a great one for you and your family.
May I recommend: if you ever travel in the South of France (not necessarily Provence) look for apricots. I ate an apricot purchased from a stand near Le Gouffre. It was as big as my fist. When I bit into it, the juices ran down my arm. Apricots are next level peaches, if you can find good ones.👍🏻💯🤗💋I have never found a decent apricot stateside…I believe they exist-most likely in your region. Please, do some research. A good fresh apricot is like nothing else. I learned that as a true surprise.
Even dried they are very good. I have some that I chop up for cake filling with jam and sometimes nuts. :)
Yes, I had apricots in Toulouse and couldn't get enough
Incredible ASMR crunches in this one, Emmy. Love enjoying your videos!
I'm tempted to see if I can order one of those just to see how many days I could live off of it
You'll end up extremely constipated! Just fyi
@@madamebih7825 there’s lotsa fibre though?
@@madamebih7825 well of course, I mean they did not include toilet paper in the ration.
@@kalistamartinez just a quick Google search will explain why they make you constipated
A full package of tissues is in there
They include all thep,astic bags because ya got to put themon your feet then put your boots on keeps your feetwarm and dry .😊
Us Dutchies do it right! Glad to see you liked it all! Greetings from the Netherlands, Ivy
Happy New Year! That one drink from the lunch gave you a bit of trouble even when you poured out 😜 poor Emmy. It's part of why we LOVE you ❤️ You always make us and many others happy and why we chose to bring the new year in with our favorite Lady! Love to you and your family in the new year and always ❣️
"it's not spicy, kind of like a curry..". As a born and raised (smalltown) Dutchie, I can tell you most of us are not at all accustomed to spicy food. We mostly(/originally) grew up with boiled and/or steamed potatoes, veggies, some meat and a light gravy as a weekday meal. I never had anything spicy growing up. The first time I used a seasoning like chilli flakes was when I was already in my 20s 🙈
What was the Dutch East India company all about then?
Happy new year Emmy!! It’s already 2023 where I’m hailing from! Wish you another good year with good health :) Thank you for always being awesome!
I will never get tired of Emmy saying how instant coffee reminds her of camping. 🥰
this is why I first started watching! these videos are so interesting. happy to see them back. happy New Year Emmy
My new favourite Emmy quote, "YEEUOOHHH" @ 10:21
Happy new year Emmy and what a present you give us in this long video and hefty ration. I hope you find more joy and tasty things in 2023!
That's such a huge amount of food and caffeine, feels like it could be a 48h ration, but I guess if it's cold and you travel through snow... feels like you could spend the whole day eating though 😅
the dutch are famous for being very tall, and hard workers, they consume a lot of calories
these kind of vids are my favs i hope u do more in the future and i hope for more country tasting
You always find some crazy stuff to get into Emmy 😁
A fabulous NYE feast. I love these ration pack sampling videos.
HAPPY NEW YEAR Emmy !
I absolutely love when you try rations…. You are right, this one was huge! I don’t think I could ever eat that all in 24 hours and I am a big girl.
I'm thrilled to be able to bring in the New Year with your happy smiling face!
Hi Emmy, Don't know if you know this but RUclips has flagged your video. Giving it a warning about conting topics relating to suicide or self harm.
Serious have no idea how RUclips manages to get these things so wrong.
Hope you have some luck contacting them to have the flag removed.
Thanks for your awesome work, really love your channel :)
Love the channel. It would be nice to see a quick shot of the nutrition panel on the items, just a couple of seconds, to be able to pause it and read the values. My guess this one has to be 4000+ cal. Great for Arctic heavy combat, and enough for a few people in a low activity survival situation.
When I have chocolate bars that have bloom, I have had success carefully heating them a bit in the microwave. Timing is important because it's easy to melt them all over the place. After heating, let them cool.
This is so helpful, a few weeks ago I punted a couple of fancy bars because they were bloomed through and I didn't want to melt it down. Thank you!
Chocolate will oxidize over time, I've actually eaten oxidized chocolate with no ill effects, it's perfectly fine to eat. 👍
@@Birchwood1976 It's safe but the flavor and texture suffers.
Hi Emmy! I have a video suggestion. I was thinking of making the mochi donuts you featured a few years ago, but found a few recipes that dont use tofu and are piped instead of rolled. If you would be willing to do a video using a piped recipe and comparing to the rolled techniques I think it would be very informative about how different recipes for the same dish can be. Love your videos, happy new year
That's a 24 hour ration??? Wow... seems like you could make all that last 2 days, not just one.
Between the generally high caloric count of 24 hr military ration packs (since they pack enough for someone who is being extremely active while potentially carrying lots of heavy stuff) and the fact that when it's cold you need way more calories to do the same level of activity, you are definitely set up for an absolute feast for the average person
10:09 apricot jam is my favourite! It’s so mild and sweet and fruity.
Duuude... Emmy's doing ration videos again!
Cool, been waiting for this! You go, Emmy! 😎
Emmy, I so enjoy your videos, I just love how you really get excited about certain food and drinks. I love watching your ration videos. Your the best 😊
16:26 for Emmy's mating call
Apricot jam is my favourite sweet spread. Sweet but not overly sweet
I hope someone is helping Emmy finish all this food, would be a shame if it went to waste!
16:10 I love how the other piece of chocolate disappeared from the plate. 😂
They certainy packed a lot into this ration, but being for "arctic" use, it's definitely needed cos cold weather needs more calories to burn... :)
Happy New Year to you Emmy, your wonderful family and all the beautiful lovelies 🎉🙂❤️
Wonder if mixing the beef bouillon into the mashed potatoes and beef would have added the salty and rich taste.
