      although this had 4000 calories in it for the whole day (meant for a solider with a lot of muscle and physical activity), but Emmy only eats like 1300 per day (I think I remember her saying that at some point) so it actually would probably be *too* much for her

      @adi_1o1 PÅ™ed 5 lety +79

      Hindus(Indian culture) have more stringent food requirements as compared to halal preparation. BTW halal is an Islamic thing.
      Since meat consumption usually involves killing and or torture(and those actions against any living thing is a sin), so meat consumption is more like a guilty pleasure for Sikh, Hindus/Buddists who would consume them.
      With regards to beef consumption, it is the same as how westerners cringe at the thought of dog meat consumption. Cows along with elephants in Indian society are very important domestic animals(pet) in Indian civilization, atleast till Brits arrived at India (lol).

      You also get the cool little tricks of crackers to add texture to food, or making Ranger Pudding from peanut butter, hot chocolate, coffee and creamer.

      You can find a few kinds of chocolates with candied orange or orange flavoring inside, but they’re usually few and far between.

    From an old and bold Brit Para, the meals are light years ahead of what we had. However, ours were about one quarter the size and most of the packaging could be burned and it wasn't shinny. As per SOP' we brought along extra tea bags, Worstershire sauce and more salt and pepper. Now to get the feel of the rat pack properly, go out into the garden, preferably winter time, have someone spray water on you constantly and go without sleep for 36 hours. At that stage, cardboard tastes good. We had a thing called Airborne stew, it was great...in the field...tried it at home, it was horrible. Oat biscuits could be used to make a pie (don't ask), missing are the ships/dog biscuits, which I quite liked with meat spread. Bear in mind, that much of the time one 24 hour rat pack would have to last 48 or even 72 hours...you soon learned to cook, or starve, your choice. Many Malay vets brought along precooked rice. Great but frugal and hard times. Glad the boys and girls are getting better treated, let’s face it they couldn't do worse (oh yes they can).

The way to heat them was a saline solution poured into a sleeve with something that created a chemical reaction to heat up. That was pretty neat.

    Technically, for Sikhi, our meat doesn't have to be killed in a certain way in order for us to eat it. We actually aren't allowed to eat ritually killed meat, halal, or kosher meat.
    We *should* also be vegetarian but some aren't, for example, I'm not vegetarian but that's mainly medical reasons.
    Also, cows are only considered sacred in Hinduism, not Sikhi, if I remember correctly.

    • @AlexHerlan

      @B Bhatt lol someone deciding not to follow ancient and out dated customs is not akin to "being converted". It just means they are more progressive (and, honestly, more intelligent) than you. The entire western world eats beef and nothing bad has ever happened.... So clearly any reverence you have towards cows is misplaced and wrong. It doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to believe what you want to believe, and do whatever you want to do. But fuck off judging other people just because they have shed the shackles of their past.
      When the ideas of your customs are proven to not really matter, why hold on to them? A lot of others countries who don't follow your ancient cultures are doing a lot better than your country. That should tell you something
      Im only being so harsh about this because you passed judgement first. Don't judge others unless you yourself wish to be judged. There is nothing about your customs that are meaningful beyond the meaning you yourself give to them. Thats fine. But it also means your customs are ultimately irrelevant, and are of no need to someone who is living a modern life.
      This has nothing to do with "identity" and everything to do with common sense, scientific fact, logic and moving forward into a better future for everyone, instead of desperately clinging to the past. A past that was defined by people who didn't know what we do know today. You are only limiting yourself for imaginary reasons

      You try to divide contracts up to ensure supply even if one or another company goes belly up due to whatever, or demand outstrips supply. When Grumman was making Avenger Torpedo Bombers in WW2, the demand far outstripped their capacity to provide. So Grumman subcontracted out to General Motors (GM) and Brewster for additional units to help make deadlines and expand production base.

    DE stands for Douwe Egberts, It's a Dutch brand and definitely not generic. It is the most common brand of coffee in the Netherlands, the country with the highest coffee consumption per capita in the world. It is now owned by Mondelez. I'm quite surprised to see it in this package, though.

    • @janman
      @janman PÅ™ed 6 lety +4

      Inaccurate though. You are referring to endlessly perpetuated false statistics of average Finnish coffee consumption per coffee consumer, not per capita. Google can give you any information you desire, I thought the Finnish were excellent at filtering out fake news. I don't know exactly how the coffee smuggling activities to Russia effect the statistics.
      Coffee culture in Finland, the Netherlands and most other countries in the northern hemisphere that experience distinct seasons, is fairly similar. Like the Brits have their tea time, we all have our coffee time at set moments throughout the day. Coffee is cheap and often free in the NL. It also "helps" that having been the colonial overlords of Java(synonymous with coffee) has brought the goods to our country and the general public en masse cheaply very early....passing by the expensive Arabian/Italian variations.
      I did make the mistake of saying DE is now owned my Modelez. They do own 49% and have merged all global coffee activities of the two, but the majority of the shares in the hands of German investors.

    It depends on the type of tea! I don’t squeeze any that get super bitter. But when I drink chamomile at night I usually squeeze the bag.

    i’m a tea squeezer, and i have it with honey and sometimes a touch of lemon , makes it super good, but apparently you’re not suppose to squeeze the tea bag but so many people do so I don’t think it is too bad. also I love your videos emmy I live vicariously through you when it comes to food!

    Hi, Emmy, this is a super late comment, but I love your MRE videos! I myself don't even take the tea bag out of the water when I drink my tea, which I guess makes me weird in the world of tea drinking. I also use two tea bags, regardless of size. But Typhoo is an excellent tea brand. The extra strength variety makes the BEST iced tea!
    Love your videos and everything you make :)

    If you want good tea, try Yorkshire Gold. The orange hot chocolate is amazing with half a shot of a shot of a nice rum in it. Excellent for cold nights.

    I used to do cadets, and when we went on our annual camp, we had to spend 72 hours in the field. We had to find out ration pack on this camp, and I’m was it worth it. The food was a lot nicer than expected. I had the Orange hot chocolate in mine and it was so good! Definitely one of the better things in that ration
