    I really liked the IDF military rations. Especially the "luf" the Israeli version of spam. We used to poke holes in the cans and attach them to the transmission box of our M-113 of the APC's with string wire. After a long drive, it would get cooked pretty well from the heat.
    Then, at lunchtime, we open the can and slice it like burgers.
    A lot of guys didn't like the "luf" so the "luf" lovers traded one can of tuna for two cans of "luf" and good extra food,
    which was great.
    I remember that corn was really popular, but tuna was the most sought-after.
    the sweet powder of the energy drink was also very popular, we didn't mix it with water, just ate the powder as it is.
    Pineapple cans were also very popular. much more than the preserved peach halves.

    Plus, during basic training, we had precisely 7 minutes to collect our boxes of MREs, open them, share out the contents, eat it and clean up the mess. In this land of miracles, it was somehow possible.

    I served in IDF food branch many years ago.
    I was one of the officers who tested and tasted the cans, audited manufacturers and oversaw assembly processes of these MREs. We packed luf back then and there were days that I personally had to inspect and taste up to 300 cans of luf. It was 30 years ago, but I clearly remember the taste and aroma until today.
    Maybe it’s not the most delicious thing but it’s pretty good considering the limitations of nutritional values, shelf life, convenience in field conditions, kosher requirements and many more considerations…
    Typically there are some additions provided, like bread/ mazza and vegetables /fruits.

    We also had a flat can of Sardines or Mackerels, a tube of Plam jam, a sachet of drink powder (Lemon, Blackberry or Orange) a few tea bags and more

    • @DanielLLevy
      @DanielLLevy Před 9 měsíci +17

      Loof was undeniably toxic and had some weird levitation/ antigravity properties. If you overate it, you'd find yourself in the early morning, some distance away from your tent, still laying on your mattress that had somehow inexplicably taken flight during the night. Then, you'd get up and go on to blow the latrine up with a great blast of overpressure.
      In the early Nineties, we had an epic battle in the Gaza Strip, against a huge cloud of germ-carrying flies that was obscuring the Summer sun. The brigade's logistics had provided us with a ridiculous quantity of insecticide bait based on the now-banned Azamethiphos, in gaudily-dyed sugar grains. Since there was so little of it and so many flies, we naturally seeked to increase its attractiveness by putting slices of Loof underneath it: we actually saw the flies performing impressive aerobatics to get away from it! Not to mention that can of Loof that found its way into my backpack and which I tried to feed the cat with when I found it while unpacking at home: she gave it one sniff, turned around with her tail straight up and her asterisk flashing, and didn't talk to me for two weeks!

      It didn't start in Eastern Europe. It started in Persia (modern day Iran) in the 7th century. The first written halvah recipe was in Arabic from the 14th century. It spread to Europe from the Ottoman Empire.

    Chili con tuna from this MRE is the best: you take the empty peanut can, fill it with oil from a couple tuna cans and shove some TP there, punch a few holes in it and you have a burner. Mix tuna, beans and corn in a bigger tin and blast it all on the DIY burner, YUM!!!
    Also the #1 way to cook Luf was on the engine of a patrol vehicle, just remember to punch a few holes in it and put it under the hood before leaving base.

    When I was a soldier in the IDF 24 years ago, in battle rations there was loof (preserved meat in a can) on the surface it was not tasty, but if you put it in the fire it was edible. Loof with beans and chili was also good.
    Of course there was tuna, but in 400g cans. There were also bags of ketchup/corn mustard in a can, peanuts and of course candy. But the candy we all fought over was a zip bag (mixture of sugar, citric acid, raspberry flavor)
    During the Second Intifada, instead of Luff cans, the IDF put cans of ham or cholent in the battle rations. This didn't work so well either, until they thought of pushing American battle rations.
    Over time because our soldiers are spoiled, the military removed the meat rations from the battle rations and pushed more battle rations as you are currently presenting.

    We used to call the matzot "dikt" - which means "plywood". It is workable much better as the more experienced of us knew, if you slightly and evenly wet the "plywood" with water, it doesn't crumble, and becomes more pliable. You can use multiple layers to increase the load bearing capacity and make more substantial sandwiches out of them and of course it doesn't turn into sawdust as you chew it.

    It smelled awful, but came in handy for pranks - you put a fuel tablet under the unopened tin, lit the tablet, and left the immediate area.
    When the pressure built up inside that tin it would explode, leaving an unholy stink that lingered for days.
