  • This Belarusian 24 hour ration is an incredibly well made MRE - with main courses that literally taste home cooked, unusual and exotic components like kissel (a hot fruit drink), and probably the best pate in a ration (the chicken pate) - this one really has it all!
    You can sometimes get this ration from MRE Mountain here:

    The prob;em with those canned foods is that you cant actually heat them on fire. We did it in the army and no one told us not to cause no one knows. The cans are lined with plastic and are toxic when heated. Instead, just pop the lid to a hiss and boil it in the water in a canteen. Heats evenly and is safer plus the food wont burn.
    Cool reviews as always. Let me know if you want to try an Estonian ration.

      4 year old comment but it's worth mentioning for any future people that see this too, in the Belorussian military, just like the Russian military they are issued and carry 3 piece mess kits still, just like in Soviet times. It's a cooking bowl lid and pan, you wouldn't cook any of these in the can, they would be dropped into the mess kit and stirred, so you would end up with even cooking and no burnt bits. You then would eat from the mess kit instead of a tray.

    Kisel is like an offshoot of jello but it is liquid. Can be quite dense though, depending on how much water you use. In Poland it is mostly served in pre-highschool or primary schools but adults eat kisel as well. It is always a cheap dessert but just with creme freche or fruit chunks it can get really delicious and savory.

    Belarusian food products in Russia are considered much better than local ones, because in Belarus there are still have Soviet ГОСТ quality standards (ГОсударственные СТандарты or State Standards) that describe the composition and technology of products and the deviation from which is seriously punished if it declared on the package. Therefore, the quality of Belarusian food is much less affected by cheap substitutes for natural ingredients. So, for example, choosing between Russian condensed milk or pate and Belarusian one, more often choose Belarusian. Sorry for Google Translator.

  • @lloydevans2900
    @lloydevans2900 Před 10 měsíci +8

    That soft bone deal is what you get from a quality French cassoulet or duck confit. They are usually cooked twice - once in the big stew pot, and again in the can at high pressure once the cans have been sealed up. The duck legs still have the bone in them, but usually it is so well cooked that the bone just crumbles when you bite into it. A bit like when you get canned red salmon fillets which also usually have the bones still in them - they are pressure cooked in the can too, so the bone has the consistency of wet chalk. One major advantage of this kind of cooking is that the calcium content of the bones is far more bio-available: The mineral component of bone is calcium phosphate, which your stomach acid reacts with to form calcium chloride, which is very water-soluble so you absorb pretty much all the calcium. A bit like when you take an antacid tablet - these are usually calcium carbonate, which also becomes calcium chloride in your stomach by a similar reaction, so eating antacid tablets is a cheap and effective way of boosting your calcium intake if you need to.

It is a member of the Vaccinium genus of plants, specifically Vaccinium vitis-idaea which include cranberries, blueberry, and huckleberry.

      The truth, however, is that the roast of the coffee has little or no effect on the caffeine content since the compound remains very stable at the temperatures to which coffee beans are exposed during the roasting process.

    These videos are a comfort when im sick or just having a rough go of it
    Watching a man crack open an old box and find solace in a simple, mass produced meal for an army, its such a pure thing to see that makes me greatful for the little things

    Sitting here eating one of my favorite fresh burrito's from the truck nearby, and these MRE's are sounding just as good with your commentary

    Fun way to spend all Sunday, watching a guy eating MREs and give it’s gourmet opinion

    I'm not in the military, but if this ration was dropped for me to survive in some disaster area I would be very pleased. Looks very tasty and seems like the kind of food that keeps you feeling nice and full for a good while!

    Growing up in a Russian family we had that pate all the time. The pate is called Pastet, pronounced pash-tee-it
