Americans try Canadian Poutine Military Ration

[@jonjieft]

tips from up north : the 16 on the IMP is the year of the batch it came from, so that one is from 2016, the first ration heater you used(if you read it) says to wrap it around the meal, don't put the meal inside of it. We all have done the same mistake until some one finally decided to read it. as for this meal, most of us call it chicken stew with fries. cant call that thing poutine

[@lindsayder]

As a Canadian, I watched this to verify my suspicions that this mre would be disgusting. Also we would call it a chocolate bar, not a candy bar.

[@1blairgrant]

Hell yeah, I also read the French stuff out loud in English

[@rrhine]

Matches are always included as most of the time a Coleman stove is used to heat rations. It’s always available, especially during winter operations as the heaters may not have enough to them to warm up the food.

[@PinkHusky433]

I used to just put the pouch around the fire... that we lit up with those matches. It was faster than to boil water onto the Coleman stove and shoving the pouch in the boiling water.

Big fan from Edmonton Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 and I have a back full of maple 🍁 leaves surrounding my family cost of arms from 1699. I’m a very patriotic Canadian. It’s my country. I have to share with you that when I backpacked through Europe and a few years later Asia way back in my late teens and early twenties in the 80’s, aMEricans put Canadian flags on their packs and maple leaf lapel pins on their jackets because Canadians were much more welcome than (what was said at the time) rude aMEricans. As Canadians we always seem to find each other on over seas adventures. I’ve met fellow Canadians at the very southern tip of South America. So … maybe 🤔 don’t be too harsh when throwing out glib remarks about Canada. There are a lot of us that like your stuff. Keep it up! 👍

[@HBADGERBRAD]

Oh and you can always spot a fake Canadian by just asking him where he’s from in Canada and how close his house is to the North Pole! LMFGAO 🤣😂😅

[@enneir]

Just ask them to spell and pronounce Saskatchewan! (I'm fr SK:)

[@BigDaddyWashington]

Why are you capitalizing ME in american?

[@enneir]

​@aaaaaadasjfodsfdjfbdshifb it's not a myth. I backbacked through Europe twice for 6mos each, and every hostel I met Americans with Canadian flags on their packs and day bags They said they get treated better. I of course made fun of them and made them learn how to spell my home province. Don't believe it, that's on you. But I've seen it numerous times first hand. We're the easiest accent to copy.

[@MaxBaker288]

Being retired from CAF, this MRE was one of the worst haha

[@EricLarocque]

Canada has two official languages English ang French !That's why you see it on products and signings

[@rschrader]

What about adding some bloopers in at the end of every video?

[@Vermilya]

I thought it was the whole video? 🤣

[@robertcooper5375]

Yes.....😂

[@SamanthaMagdalena]

Canada has 2 official languages: English and French. That's why you'll see all packaging with both languages present! Companies are legally obligated to do so :) As far as rations go, my best friend was on the military, and they used to have a box full of rations that they would pick from and they'd do games to decide who got to choose first. Apparently it's very hit or miss 😂

[@Ottawajames]

Buddy said "fine wine from Canada" jokingly, but Canada does produce excellent award winning wines. The Niagara region in Ontario and the Okanagan region of British Columbia are perfect climate and conditions for producing world class wines. Ice Wines are particularly sought after. You fellas ought to do a tasting.

[@ironwarmonger]

There use to be a Canadian Stand-Up Comic, I can't remember the name, He did a routine about the difference between the U.S. Flag and the Canadian Flag. The U.S. flag ever aspect as meaning, 50 stars one for each state, 13 Strips for the original colonies, and even the color each has a meaning. The Canadian Flag, it is a leaf.

[@WhirlyGirl_2679]

Canadian here. What you referred to as “meat” is actually cheese curds. The cheese has to be curds to be authentic Canadian poutine. They get all stringy like that when melted. For poutine in a bag; however, I was surprised at how close it looked to something you would get at a restaurant, pub or “Poutinerie” (literally a restaurant that only sells poutine). Gotta go now; watching hockey while getting a maple leaf tattoo. ✌️🇨🇦🍁

[@Steelwolf171]

The thing about poutine is that it's at it's best ten minutes before you order it. The minute it gets to your table you have about twenty minutes before you have a congealed cheesy potato gravy brick (which still isn't bad... potentially). As for dehydrated in a mre, well think you can add that to the list of Geneva no noes (or as we call it, the Geneva checklist)

[@YTGregfield]

Being given the poutine MRE in the field felt like being the kid who was given pizza Lunchables to bring in elementary school, instant #1 cool guy in the platoon status.

[@doxin_lover1278]

YES!!! A new one just before I go to work....and it's Canada 🇨🇦 yay

[@dorisw5558]

I would get the maple leaf tattoo even without being Canadian (it's my favorite North American country), as for the MRE, my dog's food looks more appetizing

[@on_ur_six6219]

Pulled beef IMP is definitely peak, that or the Montreal style one

[@PinkHusky433]

Back in late 90s to early 2000s, Bangers and Mash was a very good one...

[@Canada-_]

Im so glad you're actually heating it up soo many people think because they dont come prepackaged with heaters we dont use them. I believe it is more common to heat it in a canteen cup filled with water over a fire.

[@Natashakiable18]

I love Bruno's ratings because he hasn't tried too many of the MREs in the past so he's rating them based off what he's tasted before. Knowing me, I'd probably do the exact same thing since I've never had one ever. lol Also, poutine is so good! I've made my own version of it a while ago, definitely wasn't the best, but it was my first time trying to make it so I still give myself a pat on the back for it!

[@TorontoScottishRegiment]

Hey I think we sent you this one! Glad you all liked it. (Sorry about the ration heater).

[@oObLackParaDeOo]

'It's okay' 'it's not bad' 'it's not terrible' - I just love you guys 😂 and Bruno? and his Coooaaarl instant TWD 😂 best one ❤

[@Vortechtral]

It feels like the music coming up to the end when you guys are talking about what to score the pack was getting louder and louder, like there was a band in the background playing louder so you guys would finish and get out so they could go home. I was waiting for the music to get faster as well :P Always love these videos!

[@garnethall9767]

I have a Maple Leaf tattooed on my left arm, right before our final field ex on the QL2/3 in CFB Wainwright AB. Our platoon Sgt was super pissed with us and consulted to have us charged with self inflicted wounds. Mostly to scare us I think.

[@LeaveMeAlonePlz]

I remember being threatened to be charged with getting sun burnt at CFB Gagetown......and for having a pool at the shacks.. Good times lmao

[@VincentLander]

All federal government level institutions/organisations have to produce documents/label items in English and French because they are our two official languages. We don't have an official bird, but my vote goes to the Cobra Chicken (aka Canada Goose). Another fun video, although it's too bad the poutine wasn't as good as the pizza pasta meal Tyler tried solo a while ago. Cheers from Ottawa! 🇨🇦

[@Samantha-vf5vj]

Each Province has a provincial bird!

[@WhirlyGirl_2679]

Canadian here. The national bird of Canada is the Gray Jay.

[@VincentLander]

@@Samantha-vf5vj Yes, but the country as a whole does not (yet).

[@sebastienbolduc5654]

We have two official languages in Canada, excluding Quebec. Quebec has one official language. I'm amazed at how many Canadians don't know this. Quebec doesn't have to legally recognize English as an official language, nor will it ever, but they get to shove French down the rest of the country's throat. Quebec is the only province in Canada that is treated like a U.S. State. Unfortunately we have a two-tier system within our Commonwealth concerning the provinces right to rule themselves. Quebec also has its own legal system, Charter, and the RCMP have been replaced by their own police force (SSQ), etc. All Canadian provinces should be treated equally under the Charter btw, but they aren't. Although I am not a Trudeau supporter, Pierre was correct when he said that he didn't want to live in a country where some Canadians have more rights than other Canadians. That was in reference to recognizing Quebec as a country within a country. As long as Quebec remains in Canada they should be forced to recognize English as an official language. Btw, look at my name and guess where I am from. 😉

[@evilcritter]

​@@WhirlyGirl_2679 We have a tree, a tartan, a horse, 2 sports, and the beaver as official national symbols. Canadian Geographic did a poll and picked the Grey Jay, but the government has not adopted it as an official symbol.

[@stanleydragon9548]

Canadian ration packs are called IMP (Individual Meal pack) not MRE (Meal Ready To Eat).

[@meinnase]

You can often revive FRH's by adding a bit of salt, also if both your lights in the back flicker at the exact same time, changing the bulbs wont do anything lol.

[@indyforall5011]

Are we just all going to gloss over the ghosts flickering the lights or… 👻 😂

[@LordKosmos]

"...or things that you would like changed..." You could maybe starting by changing that damn light bulb. XD Great vid as always guys, enjoy the vibe.

[@bakerbob533]

I think the number of people with maple leaf tattoo is way higher because of Toronto's maple leaf hockey fans

Have you thought of writing to the different delegations at NATO in Brussels to see if they would send you their best? They could make a competition and have the troops vote for their favourite to put forward. It would be brilliant. Shower thoughts... 🌎🌍

[@jaemusmcnerney1885]

[@usualfulful]

As someone with relatives in Quebec, it should be stated as everything is in French and English because some of those French Canadians have quite the ego. We had my uncle and his family visit us in Germany and his wife refused to speak English because she was from Quebec and considered French Canadians superior. Three generations of my family had practiced English to accommodate her and she was like “Non!” Believe me, eating this MRE was much more enjoyable than our meals with my aunt, who made it clear that she was better than everyone else. At least you had pleasant company with your MRE. BTW I love poutine - my favorite quick fix dinner.

[@jfajr5596]

I’m French canadian from Quebec and i will never consider me as superior as anyone else. The ones with their big egos are idiots

[@gheald5245]

Have only had a single MRE in my life. It was in the 80s or very early 90s and it was a Canadian MRE Chili Con Carne. From my memory, it wasn't that bad. This Poutine MRE does not look very appetizing at all. Specifically texture wise it looks horrible. But as a Canadian, I know what good poutine should like like, so could just be my personal preconception.

[@marcorosso2338]

Cool review friends. These, Like our U.S. MRE'S, hash browns for example, would be better with, crunchy potatoes. Alas, we as A human race, are not that good yet. At least in MRE format. We can hope? IMP'S are awesome. The pain, buns, are not cut into completely, so halves do not rub together and make crumbs. So I am told, from Canadian. FRH'S suck, as A general rule. aftermarket beats military, hands down. Your episode surprised me on results? usually opposite? I am glad, you had some fun and enjoyed most? Please remember, given the situation, this and others, would be A welcome meal. Yes, real Poutine is better, like hashbrowns or other. Hard to reproduce in rations however. Peace, John. Ky.
