You shouldn't have set the translator to Russian and expect it to work better... the Ukrainian word яловичина, meaning beef, is not a word at all in Russian.
There are 3 types of MRE in Ukraine. They all look the same green plastic bag but are different in content and intended to be issued in different circumstances. This one is the poorest of all. There is a rather confusing scheme that when it can be issued. And there is also Daily field set of products (Добовий польовий набір продуктів - ДПНП) - it’s much better without cans and food is similar to “homemade”. And the best one is Daily field set of products - Strengthened (Добовий польовий набір продуктів - Посилений - ДПНП-П). It has more calories in it and additional sweets like chocolate raisins or dried apricots and chewing gum. It also has a chemical food warmer.
Це найбідніший раціон який є. Вам потрібно спробувати ті що в реторт пакетах. Там дійсно смачні домашні страви. Там навіть справжній український червоний борщ є, але не пам'ятаю в якому меню. ДПНП має сім меню. Вітання з України 🇺🇦
Kaшa or "Kasha" is available at almost any grocery store in New York or New Jersey. It's made like rice but it's "Buckwheat Groats". Anything you can do with Rice you can do with Kasha. Tea with honey is universal but tea with jam is traditional.
At least the soldiers are eating well. Always a treat to see those ridiculously hard crackers. I wouldn't be surprised if those crackers had a couple confirmed kills. Liver pate isn't a big favorite of mine but I'm sure it helps those crackers. Overall seems like a pretty decent meal. Though I'm sure it won't be as fun for the soldiers who have to eat it all the time.
A fine and decent comment, the honey would always be welcome. I wish I could take my own advice, don't watch 'food porn' when you are hungry. Damn, that meat looked good! I am so desperate right now I might even attempt the crackers! Edit, even if they have confirmed kills, I'm willing to take the chance! Double edit; a real recipe for disaster? Ah ha ha, did you see what I did there? Dear god, I've made myself laugh again, possibly nobody else but what's a guy to do? Pax.
Even though I have already replied, I feel I have to add this. There were certain forces on deployment in Canada, after seeing the Northern Lights and two weeks of entirely the same rations somebody turned up with entirely the same rations again. He had a bayonet placed in his nose and got gripped quite firmly by the balls (which must have been big) and asked very nicely to return with something different. You know his reply? 'Fuck you, fuck your bayonet and fuck your entire company, this is what it is and all you are getting, so suck it up and stop moaning, you bunch of southern poofters'. Excuse my language, I merely relay what I heard. Army humour, you got to love it. Pax
Those crackers are actually supposed to be like that, we eat dried bread all the time 😅 It’s good for your teeth and you can eat them with soups, tea, anything semi-liquid
As many times as I have seen someone eat the Kasha, I always wonder why no one adds a little water to it. Just seems like an easy fix and, when I was in, something I would do.
Back when e had tins our our ration packs in the UK we would pierce the lid twice then put the tin in a mess tin with water and boil it, we then took the tins out and used the boiled water to make a brew.
You can definitely get buckwheat in the US. There’s a town in West Virginia that has a Buckwheat Festival annually - buckwheat pancakes are where it’s at! 🥞
If you don't heat treat honey enough (85°C), and put it in sealed containers, natural honey will change during storage. It's still edible though. This higher temperature heat treatment destroy any probiotic microorganisms in the honey, and the honey becomes useless in it's traditional role as a treatment for skin, wounds or stomach ailments. The heat treatment will also destroy some nutritional values, that some (but not all) honeys posses. That's why raw honey, and honey heat treated at lower temperatures, are allowed to be sold in many countries, but, outside US, only when labeled with production dates, and sometimes best-before dates. The most radical taste change, that can occur, is if the honey ferment. Then it will taste of yeast or alcohol, sometimes even go sour, and becomes bubbly of carbon dioxide. Natural honey contains yeasts. Unless the yeasts is killed of with heat treatment, given the right conditions, the yeasts will start fermenting the honey. Natural honey, with time, without a heat treatment of 85°C, will also change in texture, colour and taste. With natural honey, I mean what is internationally regulated by UN to be allowed to be call "honey", the exceptions are some "honey" allowed to be sold as "honey" in a few countries like USA and China, countries that hasn't adopted the UN food regulations into their own regulations. In US, "honey" produced by bees fed with industrial sugars are allowed to be sold as "honey". According to UN, only honey that is made by bees that only collect sugars from natural sources (flowers et c.), is allowed to be sold as "honey". In China, like in US, "honey" from bees fed with industrial sugars are also allowed, but in China "honey", is also allowed to have additives like sugars from other sources, water, flavourings et c. In practise, since US doesn't inspect, or enforce, any of their own regulations for honey, it's very common that US produced "honey" and "honey" based products are just as bad as those produced in China, and it is very common that "honey" products, originally made for the US market, when exported to other countries, has to be withdrawn or relabeled, when they get caught by those countries customs or food inspectors. US made honey is also rarely checked for pesticides and other poisons, so that is also something that regularly get caught by food inspections in other countries, with food products imported from USA.
I don't care for this new format with the camera going all over the place and the disorganized translation and banter. Please go back to the way you used to do it.
Submerge the can in water and boil. I find that works the best. Break up the hard crackers a put in the broth. Not practical in field to add the broth to the others because your eating one at a time.
@@charlestaylor253I do it all the time. Trick is you have to fully cover it with water just like you would if you were water bath canning vegetables fruit jam etc. Even stuff with the pull top works same way. For example I put a can of condensed milk boiling for a hour with and with out the pull can to turn it into easy caramel/mexican caramel.
Needs a few side items to make this a complete ration, in my opinion. Also, would it kill them to add some peas or carrots in the meals once in a while? Meat and grains must get really old for the soldiers.
Never heat the contents of the can inside the actual cans. Modern cans have plastic coated insides. When you heat the food in the can you run the risk of ingesting plastic in your food.
I like these rations, looked like a really good ones guys. Whilst the meat juice is good with the kasha its not really feasible eating separate meals, I wonder if a little water may help? I may try that myself next time.
Good afternoon. What is the difference between a Ukraine MRE and a Russian MRE? I like the idea of an mre not needing water, but they seem to have more trash to tend with. Amanda, what happened to your arm? Have a good day and be safe.
My wife is from Siberia and her and her family love the crap out of some buckwheat but I just can't learn to like it, and I've tried. They'll mix it with milk and sugar.
Horrible. Buckwheat and milk, how can you eat this? It is usually eaten with meat or mushrooms, spices are well suited to meat, occasionally butter can be added. It should not be watery, rather a little dry. But milk and sugar... This is some kind of perversion.
Western children of peace, mild climate and abundance... Perlowa groat is barley, gryczana is buckwheat. Also cooled animal fat does form yellowish clumps naturally
In Louisiana that’s how the French people use to can meat in 5 gallon buckets they poured lard on top to seal it and put in the shed or root cellar. That was before fireants came here.
If your honey pack starts to crystallize, put the packets in boiling water for a couple minutes. Honey has a forever shelf life and heating it will bring it back to normal!
The Ukrainey MRE is too salty.🌨That would raise your blood pressure, if you eat that every day. Makes them want to fight more. They also should include a daily ration 6 cigarettes. 🚬
It's a Gerber Quadrant. IMO the QSP Penguin is a comparable but superior knife for $10 more. $25ish vs $35ish. The QSP is a better knife in every respect.
I always felt sorry for the foreign troops who didn't get candy and toilet paper. This is probably designed for 3 or 4 guys to mix it all together in a small pot while hunkered down.
Dear God please save me. I'm going there in Jan without a gall bladder + I hate porridge, tea, honey + all that fatty shit is going to cause me some serious issues.
are those napkins?? or maybe its a running channel joke... first time viewing because they look like the tp sheets that use to be in c and k rations...
It's not the paté that looks like catfood, it's the wet cat food that is technically paté - served by lazy and neglectful cat owner that don't care to give their pets food resembling what they would eat in nature, actually using their teeth correctly. The paté consistence just masking all the low nutrient trash that was thrown into, had aromas added to it and was ground so long until nobody could tell.
All you guys do is complain about mre. It's ment to keep you alive not blow your mind in flavor. Plus when you guys talk about mre I feel like you don't have your facts straight. You even said in another video the the military rather carry cans... yea no.
Ukraine and Russia are different countries. Ukrainians and Russians no longer look alike. Ukrainians don't cook like that. they cook either on the stove or have special preheaters. and such canned food is cooked in a frying pan.
Wow guys, you really need a better translation app, because the one you're using is manure. Or maybe just do the unthinkable and blaze the trail for all the self-proclaimed Western experts on Easter European issues, and actually ask sb who could read Cyrillic alphabet and speaks Russian or Ukrainian.

This is the poorest old ukrainian MRE. You'd be surprised by new one, especially "strengthened" variant. There is an overview on CZcams by american vlogger.

Pro tip I've been told. Add some of the beef grease to the kasha to moisten it up and give it a bit more flavour.
As many times as I have seen someone eat the Kasha, I always wonder why no one adds a little water to it. Just seems like an easy fix and, when I was in, something I would do.
Buck wheat is also used in cabbage rolls for vegetarians.
Great video. Although a repetitive menu, the food looks good and filling.
WOW .... thank you Nathan. Believe it or not this is a very honorable thing for you to do.

Con would be no heater coming with the Ukrainian ration, which would be quite harsh for the Ukrainian heroes in cold weather.

Nice review, you got the buckwheat and barley mixed up. I only tried buckwheat after visiting my local Russian market
also this is what they do in the field mixing some of that sauce in to the dry buckwheat, very much on point guys !! 👍
Why are you spammin the comments dude
@@pikachuclasico2366 you sir do humanity a favor and don't have kids and also you should stop eating tide pods !

great review!
Buckwheat is most often seen in the US in pancake mixes. The grain is actually a seed from a plant related to rhubarb.
I love me some Kasha Varnishkes!
2018 on the back is part of TU (technical conditions) technical standard number for this ratio.
Needs a few side items to make this a complete ration, in my opinion. Also, would it kill them to add some peas or carrots in the meals once in a while? Meat and grains must get really old for the soldiers.
Those cracker's are being used as plates for vest armor! So far the have worked....lol
Love those cans. You could mix it with mashed patotoes for example :-)
I wish you could split your MRE reviews into 3 separate parts in each video with time stamps.
Never heat the contents of the can inside the actual cans. Modern cans have plastic coated insides. When you heat the food in the can you run the risk of ingesting plastic in your food.

You can buy buckwheat in the Jewish aisle of the grocery store. Manischewitz sells it and so does wolfs
