- WHAT A GREAT TIME WITH THIS NEW CANADIAN MRE, FEATURING BRISKET IN MUSTARD SAUCE THAT WE MAKE INTO A SANDWICH, MAPLE NUTS & NESCAFE COFFEE. THEN WE MIX OUR ORANGE DRINK WITH THE VANILLA SHAKE TO MAKE THE CLASSIC 'DREAMSICLE.' AND, CHECK OUT THE HOT DATE.........(BAR).

This white coating on the chocolate does not make it unfit for consumption, it is simply cocoa butter that has separated due to temperature changes. I say it, I am a confectioner by profession :)
The white stuff is called "bloom". Doesn't affect the "eatability".
Yep👍, Nothing wrong with blooming. I don't think I've had ration chocolate that wasn't bloomed, actually🤔.. (my family has owned a chocolate company since 1938😁)
Agreed.
Tks for the insight, everyone. "Bloom." I'll try to remember that. TFW to all!
FYI, in Canada they're called Individual Meal Packs (IMP). They can also be heated using flameless ration heaters, which are issued separately. You gotta try the poutine!
For the "cook in pot with boiling water for 5 minutes" part of it, its mainly for winter where these would be cooked in a pot on a stove inside the 10 man winter tent when we are out in the field :) they usually give separate chemical heaters when you grab these!
Thank you for responding to my question about heating these things up, Ieroux. TFW!
Would have been crusader cup plus kexy beforehand?
@@MeAncient They give you Hexi tabs and your canteen cup comes with a stand. Put the Hexi tabs under your canteen and cup and heat. For quick heat I used 2 Hexi tabs
We use Coleman stoves or the mountain stove for heating water, but also keep a couple extra MRE heaters in our ruck
Their soldiers are issued the FRHs separately, they are of similar design to the US ones, but they are a bit wider and tend to work better... One of my top 3 of the Canadian menus. Vlad sent you a winner!!
That Canadian Meal Looks Good
Canadian rations are so good, but I love the stories you share more than anything. Reminds me of sitting with my WWII Vet grandfather and just letting him talk about when he was in North Africa and Italy. Thank you for sharing with us!
yet again another awesome mre! really enjoy watching these super relaxing nice work Me Ancient :D
I thought you were dying from vertigo
Decent looking ration pack.....I remember years and years ago my dad was in the 🇬🇧 army he used to always bring a load of ration packs home when he'd been on exercise and I'd be scanning the different packets of food trying them out.
Back in the 80's we had electric boiling vessels in our tanks, AVGP's etc. and we just threw the pouches in to heat. Every vehicle had a Coleman camp stove and pots for cooking fresh rations or boil in the foil pouches. The flameless ration heaters came in later but are always issued with the rations.
Cool history. TFW!
That nescafe coffee is my favorite of the instant type coffee. Its the type we take with us camping/hiking as its light and still tastes like coffee. Great coffee? No but decent coffee? yes. And out on a hike sitting down and whipping up a hot coffee it tastes incredible lol. All that fresh air appetite 😋
Your channel is very entertaining, and since you are Christian, there's no bad language. Thanks.
Love your channel & videos. Most of all, love the stories you tell about your life/experiences in the military.
Great video. As always. Look out behind you Aces turtle got lose. 😆
The burger with pain :D
The "pain" is when your knife slips when cutting it apart. 😉
Ha Ha Ha!! I like it!
Excellent Content! The ole lady and i enjoy your videos!
Great review bud. The Czech republic mre should be in your mail box any day. It just passed customs in New York
I can’t wait! Vlad, what a treat that was.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the videos they are greatly appreciated I been looking around to see where I can buy myself some of this good and try it out looks good 😊
I am enjoying your stories and enthusiasm for the MRE. I am a civilian but have tried my share of MRE, the vegetarian ones are pretty awesome. Keep up the great content!
"I feel like you don't need to eat any more." Beautiful throw away lline there.
Very traditional deserts in Canada: butter tarts, date squares and Nanaimo bars, depending which part of Canada you're from. It's a comfort food, a taste of home. I prefer date squares and butter tarts, just sayin'.
Thank you for your service! ✊️
Boy the Canadians 🇨🇦 know how to put together a good MRE.......
Sometimes yeah, but there are some awful ones that rival the worst of anything the US puts out as well
I was surprised how much I liked the date square, that creamsicle idea was genius I need to try it
That looked amazing .unfortunately i have tp say mpst forgien rations look and seems to taist better then ours
Thank you again for the video looked good
Us Canadian know how to feed the troops!😎🇨🇦👍👍
Great video. Love your channel 😊
That whole ration looked really good.
That was a really nice piece of meat, it just fell apart.
The hot date seemed pretty good too.
It was pretty cool that there were 2 orange drinks, one to add to the vanilla shake to make the dreamsickle and one to just have as orange juice.
Your story today made me smile ;)
Great review :)
Thank you for your comments, Christine. And TFW, as always!
The warmed date square with the thick vanilla drink poured over it is my single favorite ration dessert. The same combo comes in the Shepherds Pie meal. Awesome review, thank you!
-Zed
Sounds Good!
THE HOT DATE TASTES GOOD!
I can clear up the Mars Bar issue here. In the US that would be called a Milky Way. What the rest of the world calls a Milky Way is a 3 Musketeers in the US, and the US version of the Mars Bar did have almonds.
Really loved this video!
I love your videos they're really fun to watch
Hello! I am from Ontario and am glad you find our MRE's tasty, wouldn't want to send our boys out there hungry!
In my Navy days, while in tech school, I was one of the few with my own car. I was a popular guy! 😀
Awesome video guys! Absolutely love hearing your stories me ancient!
You are very kind, Gina. TFW, as always!
Looks great 🇨🇦
idk why its so satisfying watching people eat MRE's but I'm hooked
Yum yum getcha some! Good video Chief!
Love your vids please keep making them
Nice from Canada here great video
Looks like a good meal for sure.
Canadian Amoured Vehicles have an electric boiling vessel to boil water like our British cousins. Each section usually has a stove and pots to heat boiling water. This also goes back to our British cousins to boil water. A lot of us also carried small one burner stoves to boil water for coffee or tea...
That compressed napkin was awesome. Strong and sturdy in a tiny package. It did look like a mint at first.
Another awesome mre and an inspiring story, thanks Me Ancient 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it & TFW!
This is my favorite ration in the world. It is outstanding!! The Canadian IMP is top notch. The Canadian milatary is issued a mess kit or FRH separately. It's pretty easy :) and gosh this meal.makes me want another. The demi glaze is also Delicious 😋
"I don't think that you should eat anymore of those"! LOL!! What a great line to the sweet thief, a.k.a., Asa, LOL!! Looks like a great meal. That vanilla shake with the orange drink, great combo. I was expecting for a less than enthusiastic response to the hamburger bun. I've seen an bush craft guy that I watch, that always throws them out, saying they are pretty much inedible. I'm glad that it didn't take away from that great main course. Great and entertaining video, as usual. Keep 'em coming. God bless.
Glad you enjoyed it...Ukranian meal coming soon!
normally with the tab you would pull on it from the outside of the bag instead of the inside where you pulled it. If you pulled it from the outside you could reseal it for later
Heck yeah another mre I’ve been waiting for you to come out with a new one hahahah love the videos you guys are my fav mre review channel
As a Canadian I am happy to watch you try our mre.
Ace and his dad share a hot date, and it's still perfectly family friendly. How cool!
I would have the date slice with vanilla drink, quite thick, heated if possible. Sounds like a perfect dessert.
Fresh and new yeah can't wait
This one is my fav!!!!!!
That brisket looks *good* . The nuts look interesting too, never had nuts with maple sugar before. The 'hot dates' I don't think I'd like, never been a fan of warm fruit, but at least we get the return of the Dreamsicle.
As always, thanks for the video.
So that is certainly one of the new MREs. Our older ones were in a white foil pack and very traditional dishes. The new ones should have some heater packs not in the pack but in the case. Traditionally you may have a Coleman stove with your group for water so you could heat up water for rations and for cleaning yourself up. It’s funny your “US” canteen is the same one I was issued back in the day but they took away our canteen cups and mess tins and replaced them with MelMac. It’s great you tasking all the ration packs. I always loved trying something different but I was with transport so we usually had the flying kitchen with us. Take care
For the IMP (Canadian MRE) you can either eat it cold in the field or make a fire with the match provided and boil water inside a canteen and pour the food inside it.
In the UK a Mars bar is the same as a Milky Way Bar. So, I’m guessing it’s the same in Canada.
It is. The American version, which I don’t think they make anymore, didn’t have caramel but it had nougat and almonds in it.
Does it get 120 degrees In the summer in Northern Canada like it does In Brownsville tx I was just wondering and are your seasons reversed
Everyone knows that north of the Canada/USA border, all seasons are reversed. When we have our Winter, they are having Summer.....etc.....TFW, David
One was made by Mars senior (Milkyway) and years later the Mars bar was made by Mars junior.
@@DavidS22003 your thinking of Australia, our seasons are the same, except it gets -35 in the winter and +35 c in the summer
Great video, thanks 👍
My pleasure! TFW
Great job on the videos, my dad was a CB in the MARINES from 60 to 68
We love CBs and Corpsmen. Plus, USMC is it's own branch within the Department of the Navy.
Me ancient out here posting amazing content every video what a good guy
That mustard brisket reminded me of corn beef 😋 great video sir!
It essentially is corned beef, minus the pickling process
Hey Me those CANADIANS got it made.. THX for showing.
They do alright with their meals, for sure. TFW, Steve!
10/10
I look forward to these videos
Looks like one of your best MRE meals. Be blessed
Thank you! You too! Don, TFW!
Canada MRE'S are hella good. Canada usually hand out the ration heaters vs packing it in the package itself. McDonald's Trip, it's the simple things in life we remember the most much of the time. I can remember doing this in my last class of the day in high school. Only it was Burger King lol
You can put theses in a canteen cup then put it on the engine block or exhaust manifold of a vehicle to heat them up as well. I've done it
Do more Canadian IMPs! 25 year SM here, just subscribed, love your videos dude!
Well done, nice.
Thank you! Cheers! TFW, John, as always.
We had colenan stoves in the field. Fueled by naphtha but I always ate mine cold.
I’ve had that MRE, and liked it
Vlad your the best!
TP tabs are amazing, Canadian Preparedness has a good video on them.
All the imps I have had have been really decent I need to try the orange drink and vanilla together great review guys
THANKS, CHRIS!
He was the original door dash! 🤣😂 Way ahead of his time.
The compressed towelette is for hygiene clean your pits, and your private areas. Then take it to the bathroom to wash your rear tooter after disposal of yesterdays meals. However in the Canadian forces troops normally carry their own toilet paper.
im canadian ive heard from guys that serve sometimes with they trick the new guys into thinking the compressed napkin is a mint as a welcome prank
If ever in Montreal, if you liked that smoked meat you have to hit Schwartz’s smoke meat. Amazing!
My wife will occasionally make me a peanut butter and banana sandwich or peanut butter and crackers for my first break at work but will mix real maple syrup with the peanut butter. It's delicious together. I hope you guys are having a good fall weekend. Ace Quote of the Day, "It doesn't taste as unrighteous as I thought it would taste..." 🤣
Thanks for watching, the whole gang of you A's!
@@MeAncient Always a pleasure. Stay safe my friend!
These are more "operational training lunch" than anything. Shorter shelf life and they don't stock them as deeply. Another review of these the Canadians were explaining that they are generally provided hot water and lots of water for the drinks.
These replaced "sandwich boxes" that were common. The Chinese have a very similar "lunch" MRE.
The coffee is usually called 3in1. (as opposed to the black) In the UK its often called "NATO coffee."
Thanks for the info, RWXR. And TFW
We
get issue the FRH separately. Back in my day we didn't have FRHs and had to heat it on a stove, in water, armpit... whatever way we could. It should be included in my opinion.
Awesome review sir, the date square I wouldn’t have heated but that’s likely why it went dark. Normally the oatmeal crust is a nice golden colour and has a nice chew. Glad you got to enjoy this one, these IMP’s are really hard to get your hands on even here in Canada. Take care and all the best
Thanks for watching (TFW)
Good ol' Vlad!!
Pre mixed coffee is what the Canadians call a regular.
The coating on the Mars bar is called "bloom". It happens when chocolate gets old or is exposed to heat. The fats in the chocolate separate from the chocolate and form a layer on the outside. It's not harmful.
YESSSS
Bonus alert: We add two new words to our vocabulary, libre. I have no words, a meal that a hungry person will look forward to. Thank you for presenting.
Good one!
Libre and gratis are great words, not sure why we don't use them more in English
@@turnip5359 Down here in SoCal, "gratis" prevails, often in a Mexican accent -- faintly Speedy Gonzales -- as it's the Spanish for _no charge._
Yeah, spread it around. Now, having schoolboy French, I wouldn't go on about any "pain hamburger," because I'm proud of my français. (Algorithm, quit trying to tell me to type François. )
I am glad you pray before you rmeals...Thank you
That napkin is like the wash cloths I think they called magic towels you wet them and they form into a wash cloth
In Canada we don’t call them mre but we call them imp for “Individual Meal Pack”
Also learnt from some guys in the Canadian military that a lot of the time they don’t have the time to heat it so they will just eat it cold! Unless they can heat it then they will
love the IMP's yummy
Currently stationed at NAS Pensacola and can confirm Corry Station is still around
THAT'S CRAZY! I AM CURRENTLY IN NORTH FLORIDA. I'LL HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT. TFW, JEFFREY!
First bsbyyyyy
Are you going to review XMRE Blueline and XMRE 3000xt MREs? They are definitely worthy of reviews and there are a lot of those too.
My guess is. The reserves were eating these. When they all get together for training. My nephew eats them when his unit gets together
Mars bar is the Canadian version of Milky Way 😊
Makes sense. TFW
👍
Hey sir! I seen you enjoyed Canadian mre's the "hot date cake " is the English Canadian version, French Canadian is different and way better😏✌️🇨🇦
Me Ancient, I did the SAME thing in the Army selling pizza and chicken lol.
I used to make a pretty decent profit from it
One question I've wondered, with the hot beverages etc. How do you heat up the water in the field? Small fire? Is the flame less heater more of a convenience then tactical thing? Thanks, just a curious guy. Cheers
When I was in, we either used Sterno to heat things up, or a hot engine block. There were no heaters with MREs. TFW, Bobby
@@MeAncient Thanks for your response! Great channel, keep up the good work. God bless
The Canadian army is very oriented to winter training and cold weather ops. As a result we carry Coleman stoves and pots or pressure cookers at every Section (you say, "Squad") level. In winter, if you don't have water you simply melt snow. Our crew served vehicles have boiling vessels that hook up to the 24 volt vehicle electrics. Always hot water for coffee or heating rations.
