I’m about to turn 55 at the end of this month, so me ancient as well. Truly appreciate giving credit to Jesus in these videos! It’s fun listening to your take on MRES, but giving it up for Jesus, is what makes me coming back for more! Stay humble, love the Lord, and carry on my friend!
Not bad, I would be happy with any of those cakes in the field. My favourite components of a US MRE are the cookies, crackers and the orange base powder. Semper fi corporal keep up the good work 🇺🇸🫡🇬🇧😉
Always love seeing your videos! I remember a brownie with mres when I was a kid. Don’t know if they are as good as I remember but I have to get some soon. Thanks for the videos!
The thing about fats and oils is that it extends the flavor. The oil allows the flavor compounds to linger on your tongue longer and so you can taste more of it.
It's a happy day when you find a pound cake in your mre. I think the apple one is my favourite. Interestimg to see your impressions on the humble pound cake. Its definitely one of the ration items thry nailed. (Thinking of the pizza slices they didn’t nail at all) The painted rock was your best find in my opinion. :) Im not sure if ive just been unlucky, but the jalapeños cheese has never been even a little bit spicy when I've had it. I don't remember ever having the bacon cheese spread, only thing that close that ive had is in the FS rats, cheese bacon and potato spread which can also be made into a soup i believe. Great video :)
A Bacon & Cheddar Sandwich is a British classic. A bit of butter on bread with slices of Cheddar Cheese and a couple rashers. Fried in a skillet until golden brown and the cheese is very melty. Here in the States, you've made a Bacon and Cheddar Grilled Cheese. Two adds to consider: 1- A bit of Coleman's Mustard on one (one both if you're a nutter) piece(s) of bread 2- A healthy (not a relative term) amount of Branson's Pickle. Seriously, there is quite a bit of salt in this stuff. Perhaps three: C- A true Anglophile nutter you say? Marmite, on one of the toast slices (Advance nutters only)
I'd say that what you have here would be considered military currency. I'd probably trade my main dish for a few of those and a few coffees! Thanks MA and thank God for His promises 🙏!
Thank you god...A video from me ancient on a windy and cloudy day.. Happy to see you back my brother, as always take care and my respect to you and your family
My brother is in the British Army and the trick, he told me, is you have to heat it up first, either boil it in the bag in boiling water for 7-8 minutes or put it in the FRH with the main. I tried it that way and holy shit, it is so much softer and moister that way.
I was always too scared to eat the lemon poppy seed cake. I was scared the poppy seeds would make me fail a drug test…it happened to Elaine on Seinfeld lol. Those stakes look to be from a Sportbrella, they don’t really work well
They all looked good to me. Marble cake is the best, its made of the same dough, one takes chocolate and the other does not and you mix it up to make a marbled pattern on the tray, sometimes you add a little coffee to make a moka flavored one. But I am bias, I was a baker untill my late 20s and it as always been one of my favorite cakes, alongside wallnut honey and chocolate... Great video.
Great video. I do alot of detecting here in south Florida. I found if you detect in the water you find so much more i even go as chest deep. The best thing i ever found was a two thousand dollar gold chain. Keep swinging you'll find something good.
20 years ago, when I was active duty U.S.M.C., Drug tests were not very accurate. I was obsessed with lemon poppyseed pound cakes. I popped red for heroin on a drug test. They did a blood test and found that I was actually very boring... 😂
If you want to find super cool stuff while metal detecting, you can google and find places where battles took place in the civil war, and you can find musket-balls maybe some uniform pins, also depending on where you are at there might be abandoned military bases or sites. also consider magnet fishing, people find a lot of cool stuff! Also you should go to an rei or camp store and try some camping food out, they can have similar items to MREs for you to try and compare, great video as always!
I have found musket balls before, back when I was younger and before CZcams. I may have to try that out one of these days. I live around lots of Civil War battlefields now. TFW
Sweet episode lol😊 back at home we had a chocolate bar and tea cookies in our rations...ration " k" also included crakers, marmalade, canned meat...can't remember the rest it was a while ago lol
@MeAncient yup ...I remember all my team mates throwing them away ..and me keeping cookies and chocolate. Then we got stuck with no food for days and I saved theyr butt lol!
Your videos are like a high school student rushing through a presentation they didn’t prepare for. I loved the videos at first but my god you rush everything. If I was your grandson I’d be scared to even talk 😅
Very cool finds. Luv the desserts. The plain cheddar is my choice. The rock came from Va lue sha . If that’s helps you under the sounding. Cheers from Seminole co. ✨✌️👍😋I lik
In my area they had people painting rocks and hiding or laying them out in places for people to find. I'm wondering if they do that in your area too and thats what that rock is for.
Your picks seems classic! All of those cakes looked very appetizing to me tho. But i'll need a full canteen of water to clean that plate up... Wholesome review as always!
Never had the trans fat free or maple top ones. If I had the time I'd make up hot cocoa and or coffee and soak the vanilla or marble cake in it. Ensures everything is moist and warm. Lemon poppyseed and applesauce I'd just eat straight or could mix in if I got a fruit like pineapple. Good stuff!
What ever happened to the fruit cake? I fondly remember them in c rations and the early MREs. I trade for them. Also, might you consider doing a video or more in conjunction with Steve1989? Looking forward to more of your videos.
They actually come indirectly from the original supplier of the cakes. As I understand it, they produce and sell 'extra' cakes to 'the folks.' TFW, Mr. P.
Hey guys, a very different and entertaining video. Looks like Me Ancient is getting his sweet tooth, taken care of, by all those cakes! LOL! I was wondering how good the apple spice cake would be, I'm not surprised that it was one of the favorites. So wonderful to hear about your understanding of the covenant between God and man, concerning the rainbow. This may not go over well with some non-believers, but, did you know that the covenant rainbow has 7 colors in it? Seven being the number for God showing His completeness of His Creation. The "other" rainbow, (if you know what I'm talking about), has only 6 colors. Six being the number of man, showing our incompleteness, without God in our lives. The color that's missing in the rainbow that's only got 6 colors, is indigo. This is the color representing holiness, purity, praise, and deliverance. I don't believe that this color is missing by accident, since the "other" rainbow, stands for things that are an abomination to God. Pride, arrogance, rebellion, self dependency, sinful ways of living, and so on. Should be interesting to hear what the mockers and scoffers say about this comment. Looking forward to more, God bless guys.
I don't know if you knew it but we get rainbows (a 100% fully understood natural phenomenon that isn't in the slightest supernatural or hard to understand) because of Magic! (as in God did it). It's so dissappointing hearing ppl who other than that are actually pretty likable say such stupid things....really saddens me

Amen to that
I love how you pray EVERY time without fail. I enjoy seeing Christ's soldiers out in the field. You touch many hearts with those simple prayers.
Thank you for those kind words and TFW!
I like the marble one. Sounds amazing.
Katelyn, you know which one I liked the most. Marble wasn't bad. TFW!
They all look and sound good! More choices is always a good thing! 😎👍
You got that right! TFW, Lance!
I really enjoyed the introduction of the metal detector finds .. as always .. Great videos and content ..

Higher up and farther in! TFW! I'm hoping to incorporate more metal detecting segments in the future!
I am such a big fan of you and ace. It is my life long dream to meet you and ace. God bless.

The thing about fats and oils is that it extends the flavor. The oil allows the flavor compounds to linger on your tongue longer and so you can taste more of it.

Christine, Tks for your input. I always enjoy hearing from you. The painted rock was quite cool. TFW, as always.
ace is such a good dude films all his dads mre content for him making sure his dad gets pretty frequent content out!
He has filmed all of these videos except for two that Micah filmed while I was filming with him in S.C. TFW!
A meal of just cake... you cant beat it can you. Cracking review guys, I could almost taste each one as you went through them.

The cat is beautiful, and obviously very intelligent. She should be in all your videos.

'Military Currency,' I like it. TFW!
My favorite Noah story was told to me by my aunt when I was little, about the doves found when you break open a sand dollar.
They all sound good. And the original meaning of the rainbow.
Very cool beach find rock. Cool you picked up on and explained the Noah/rainbow aspect. Keep up the great vids!
Thanks! Will do! And TFW, Rickybobby.
Yum! Thanks for sharing Me Ancient!
My pleasure, Mike. TFW
Another great video. Thank you.

I agree, stakes in sand do not work very well at all, for sure. TFW!
It’s true. They tested in on Mythbusters and you’ll failed for opioids. One bagel or one slice of cake would be enough
@@zhaneranger Well I am happy to know my sacrifice wasn’t in vain. Lol

In my area they had people painting rocks and hiding or laying them out in places for people to find. I'm wondering if they do that in your area too and thats what that rock is for.
I believe so. I had someone tell me that is a whole 'movement.' Apparently they do this type of thing in many places in the world. TFW!
Next time put some maple syrup on that cake it comes in the MRE’s
