You didn't insult anyone at all. I'm Brazilian and your review was very honest. Each culture has a palate and some specific foods. This flour is cassava flour. It is used as food in a series of dishes in Brazil due to its nutritional value. It forms the basis of the diet of original indigenous peoples. You can consume it with other food or with scrambled eggs called "farofa" and in a multitude of other dishes such as beans, meat, barbecue, etc. It turns out that, for palates that are not adapted, it can leave the food it accompanies too dry and reduce the taste. However, it is very typical in Brazil. As for coffee, in Brazil, we drink coffee almost 24 hours a day hahahahaha. And the banana bar is called "bananada", very traditional too, made with banana pulp that is cooked at high temperature with sugar. Personally, I love it! Congratulations on the channel and it was an excellent review!

Thanks for the info and your kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video :))

[@celsojpduarte]

Ótima e resumida explicação!

[@FernandoTieppo]

I’m a reserve Lt. at the Brazilian army, the 5 stars is the southern cross or Crux constellation, it has a lot of meanings in Brazilian history, it’s one of the easiest to identify constellations and it also symbolizes Brazil as a mainly Christian country. Our MREs are made basically from regular food the average Brazilian eat everyday, it’s good nutritious food, the menu you got is not the best one tho, but it’s still decent food… the yuca flour (farinha de mandioca) makes the whole difference tho, it’s a staple of Brazilian food. Great video.

That's a great review pal! I'm from Brazil and you did everything right. The weird canned like taste is probably due to pasteurization, flavor loss to gain shelf life. The ammount of "Farofa" (cassava flour) was about right in the first plate, but you overdid a little in the second, but that's not wrong, everyone is free to put as much they like. In Brazil, people nowadays consume more of the flavoured cassava flour (usually garlic and onions), and it's 1000x better in flavour. Brazillians love sugar, like really love unhealthy ammounts of sugar, that's why the coffe already came with sugar. Some places we say: "oh he got a little bit of coffe in his sugar". The juice brand is not common in Brazil, i've never seen it before, they probably won the bid of military MRE contracts. And as other Brazillians are commenting, you got the worst menu, it didn't came near to represent our national dishes (meat, gravy and rice & potatoes, carrots, and chicken are in our view, worldwide common dishes).

[@Bravebelly]

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it 🙏🏼

[@theonlyD]

Also what most people drink as coffee in Brazil are exports reject with lots of impurity which are burnt to a crisp to mask flavor so lots of sugar are a need. And I can only imagine that the coffee used in the MRE is of the worst quality possible.

Thank you for showing your appreciation towards our MRE package. As many have already pointed out, you're missing out big time on the better option at ration #3, but you already got the message from this one. The yuca flour (farinha de mandioca) is a hit or miss for some people, but it will give any brazilian food a strong, fuller bite and definitely helps you staying satisfied for longer periods of hard physical activities. When i ate my MRE's, i've made use of the provided pans (not packaged on the MRE) to heat up a smaller quantity of water. I've washed my meal packages before hand, set up the little stove with the pan on top, heated the water first, then sat the package on it afterwards. Ive eaten my meals directly from the packs cause i didn't want to deal with dirty dishes afterwards, and the remaining water was enough to clean up the utensils or make some warm coffee. The only sin you've made was throwing the whole jam on a single cream cracker haha. I'd divide the jam and goiabada in equal parts to make oreo-like snacks to eat with the ready lemonade. Candy bars, jelly beans and electrolyte beverages stayed on the jacket pockets to eat during marches or in-between exercises.

Cool video! always cool to see people try stuff from other countries. I wanted to leave some notes here to give a bit of info on some stuff you said/asked! 0:36 I noted this was yet to be mentioned in the comments, I can answer that one: these stars are the Crux, a constellation of the southern hemisphere, it's also present in the flags of Australia and New Zealand, and it's in Brazil's national flag also(together with more constellations of the southern sky, exactly as many stars as the number of states in the country), though in the case of the Brazillian flag, the stars are in the exact alignment/shape as they were in the sky on the evening (in the exact hour/minutes) of 15th of november 1889, when the country became a "republic" 11:54 Mais Doce means something like More Sweet, or Sweeter, so that's likely to be the sugar 21:40 tea is pretty popular in some places of the country, but the big drink is coffee, it's a very big part of the culture and history of the nation(So much so that breakfast is called Café da Manhã, meaning Morning Coffee, and in the northeast region of the country dinner is just called coffee also!) 22:00 that's Guava jam! Had a LOT of that growing up. Indeed a tropical fruit, native to Mexico, the caribbean and nothern South America, they're very good! 42:40 understandable, the farinha, much like any condiment, can be better or worse on some foods/meals, it's all down to each person's taste! Also, if it were a pre-seasoned farinha instead of a non-seasoned(they use the non-seasoned in order to be easier to fit in the average soldier's palate), as they sell here in stores, it probably would have been tastier, as those are generally a mix of spicy with savory (goes great with anything that's got meat) Also on the alcohol thing, there's no need to worry about the soldiers ingesting the thing, the soldiers can just go to any bar at the end of the day or week, the country has not fought any war since WW2(they actively fought in Italy, were a pretty big part of the operations that saw the final surrender of italy and the german forces there) And since they're not participating in any modern conflict, the soldiers mostly eat in the barracks or field kitchens You did it all correctly, this was fun! have a great day!

The love for cassava flour runs deep among Brazilians in the North and Northeast. This flour, characterized by its unique texture, is a staple in most main dishes, making it a cornerstone of their culinary tradition.

[@amarilisribeirocaixeta9085]

Cassava flour is a typical and healthy food, rich in fiber that improves intestinal function, as well as potassium that prevents cramps and magnesium, which helps control blood pressure.Of indigenous origin, it is part of the diet of most Brazilians. With thousands of preparations and variations from region to region.

Just to add: You have the exact pan/cup the military uses (The first you try to heat the food in). These cream crackers are pretty the same I was used to eat every single morning while I was a kid before getting to school. The cold morning, the hot coffee with cream and sugar, the cream crackers (that really taste buttery), these jams i use to do something like a sandwich with 2 cream crackers (actually, that second one is made out of guava. My favourite fruit). The beverages, I often use a little more water. And these flavours are awesome. These gum drops are of my favourite brand (Dori). And just to finish, ME (personally) I'm used to put farinha de mandioca aside with other flavours into my plate: i'm not a fan of mixing all that to an only thang (and by this you can change the ratio spoon by spoon). Loved to watch the entire video. Thank you again

You need to have in mind that the mre foods serve a purpose. To have the necessary amount of nutrients needed in a war scenario and of course its not gonna be a gourmet meal. Its functional meal to give high amounts of energy in form of carbohydrates, thats why theres a lot of those sweet drinks and candys. The farinha is great to satiate the hunger of a soldier that needs to walk long distances or needs to stay long times without eating anything. The farofa (a better version of farinha) is 100% tastier but if you are going to eat that much everyday you are going to have a hard time to poop it out hahaha.

When I ate this operational ration, I liked the protein bar so much that I exchanged it for rice, for the sauce, to be able to eat more, because during the operations when we needed to eat the rations we didn't have anything sweet with us, as they prohibited us from taking anything like that. like sweets, food in general or alcohol, many carried honey hidden in toothpaste packaging, to have something sweet to cheer themselves up during the tiredness. and as everyone is saying, many exchanged and ran to get it before package no. 3 ran out

Yes, many soldiers drink alcohol, especially in the Amazon region. Often, during training, it is necessary to remove the alcohol from the soldiers' kits to prevent them from making any special 'drinks.' By the way, the name of the drink they make is 'gami juice,' and I’m not sure if the sound of the word 'gami' is related to the word 'gummy,' as they mix alcohol with water and the powdered drink from the MRE

Brazilian here, About the powdered juice, a bag like this makes 1 liter, generally this is used by people with low income, who cannot afford to buy fruit and in case it is in a survival kit, it is just so it can be easy to use. carry in a kit like this and boost morale, we know that in adverse combat situations, boosting morale like sweets, juices and treats helps the survivor's or combatant's psychological health on the battlefield, but about flour it is made from a root called cassava, rich in fiber: Helps with bowel function and the feeling of satiety and among other nutritional things, that's why it's in the kit, but the best thing about this kit really is the dinner/supper kit.

About the alcohol gel: It burns in a controlled manner, much lower risk of burns, or setting anything around you on fire. It doesn't release smoke either. Every alcohol in Brazil, be it gel or liquid, is required to have a bitter agent mixed in. Something like denatonium, commonly known as Bitrex. It not only tastes so bad it can make you vomit, but it can actually cause nausea and even kill in certain quantities. Alcoholic beverages, of course, aren't required to have any.

Lembrando que existem outros cardápios e rações liofilizadas e de "emergência", mas não são tão comuns como essas de strogonoff, feijoada e carne com legumes que tem aquele gostinho de "comida de mãe". Ainda, esses pacotes são para 24h, mas já utilizei por até mais tempo como 48 h racionando. Atualmente damos mais ênfase em produtos comerciais visando assim facilitar a reposição em caso de emergência Nacional, uma estratégia de não depender unicamente de uma ou duas empresas. O estranho que vive pouco café nesse pacote e também não vi o repositor hidrolítico, ou não prestei a atenção.

[@KlaussSantana]

I'll only say this about farinha... Start with one spoon spread over a corner of your meal a day... When you less expect, one day you get yourself putting more than one. It's a very versatile supplement that can reach an ample variation of taste and texture. That's also why there's a wide range of farofa flavors witch main ingredient is farinha. Of course it's all about personal preference and taste. And I'm impressed on how adventurous you were about it...

Nice video! Some Brazilians can't live without farinha. It may see a weird at first, but it really goes well with saucier food after you get used to it. It also goes very well with meet, try to dip roasted meat in farinha or try it with stewed meat, it really goes well

Hello Brave Belly, hello guys. Greetings from Brazil. This is your 1st video i'm watching, and damn bro, so far you've got every single thing right! You're actually reading well, knowing well and maybe i'm enjoying more to watch you getting all the things right. Just saw you have uploaded another one. Can't wait to see that once this one finished. You've won a subscriber and a legion of brazilian people coming

[@Arthur1975-Z]

Фарину надо было залить горячей водой, получили бы кашу вместо хлеба. "Бовина" - это говядина. А в остальном все отлично. Напитков много, потому как в Бразилии жарко, и пить надо всегда, иначе теряешь соли и электролиты.

[@Bravebelly]

Thanks for the info 👌🏼

[@luciano12sa]

​@@Bravebellyno hot water for farinha please 😂 I personally prefer a little to the side so I can add crunchiness to the meal.

[@lerandomguy2109]

1) you don't put water in Farinha, you'll piss out every Brazilian on the planet lol (i see you probably google translated it, and it will say "farinha" = Flour, which is not the case with "Farinha de Mandioca" served in the MRE) You mix it with the food (Rice, Beans, Meat etc) 2) this was a 24 hour MRE, it's meant to be consumed thorough the day and not in a single meal. It's made like that for patrol operations on the wild since soldiers will be away from resupply and support for some time, so it ensure good amount of calories in a single pack

[@MarcusLong-Plays]

farinha com agua agua??? ta doido mano

[@soy_guarpo]

Não era praticamente farinha e tipo um mocilon​@@MarcusLong-Plays

[@rafaeltakaki9155]

Hello another brazilian here lol. Awesome video man, keep going, love from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@arlesouza4068]

I love the banana bar and goava jam, It's pretty easy to do in home.

[@Bravebelly]

It was delicious 😋

[@ludmillaflavio114]

In Brazil the most important meal of the day is lunch. That's why our breakfast is basically coffee with crackers or a bread (thins like this 😅). Lunch for us is important because it gives us energy to stay a long time in the afternoon without eating if necessary (because of work or a busy long day).

[@zdrawns]

love the content ty for trying our food ❤

[@Bravebelly]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching 🫶🏼

[@kadikaado]

I am so proud seeing you mixing the rice with the meat, just like a real brasilian would do.

[@RobertoDiAguiar]

Very Nice

[@9401maru]

I have to say, if you ever try it again Brazilian food, go after the farofa instead of the farinha. Farinha is not seasoned and toasted like farofa, so it really doesn't add anything up to the meal, but farofa? Farofa is tasty.

[@Bravebelly]

Thank you!

[@azorbarros3308]

The stars are the Southern Cross. You can also find it in the Australian and New Zealand flags

[@leoalves83]

The stars are a constelation called "Cruzeiro do Sul"

[@andremartins7448]

Misture , o café , com esse café com leite já pronto aí tira um pouco da doçura do açúcar

[@Bravebelly]

That’s a great tip! Thank you

[@13-belinski60]

Parabens pelo vídeo, muito legal ver outras nacionalidades provando nossa comida.

[@Bravebelly]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video 💯

[@RyanSilva-hr8sz]

Hi, Brazilian here, If i had to eat this lunch i would mix the farinha with the beef stew while heating - instead of mixing the rice - this way it becomes "pirão" (traditional beef recipe from northeast of Brazil) that tastes much better than dry (tasteless) farinha with rice

[@honourandtradition8078]

Regarding the alcohol. Most high proof alcohol has a chemical added into it that either induces vomiting or is extremely bitter and with the gel there's the added benefit that it can be used as an antiseptic I guess.

[@arthurmattos4935]

i don't know the name in english but that's the southern cross constellation, here in brazil, located in the south hemisphere, you can use those stars for geo locating, kind ike yours north star or polar star

[@Bravebelly]

Oh that’s a pretty cool tidbit of info! Thanks 🙏🏼

[@KlavierMenn]

Crux, for our cross, Polaris for their lone star

[@RepublicaSindicalista_doBrasil]

Finally I witnessed an American eating cassava flour.

[@sthalba5096]

You have such an interesting and spot on opinion about, everything really. You've pointed out the risk of mental illness during combat, You've also noticed how a few things are legit and well made like the aluminum stand, but also how old school the matches are. You could learn a thing or two by just analysing why Brazil has chosen every and each option and accessories. Awesome video!

[@sthalba5096]

And btw, I don't think you've poured even 1/3 of the recommended quantity of water on those drinks 😂 you're drinking like a 8 year-old wants it to but mom says no lmao a sugar bomb

[@dementesf]

The stars in the emblem represent the Southern Cross constellation. It's the easiest way to navigate at night since it always points south.

[@vivizinha1234567890]

@bravebelly I’m from Brazil, Thanks for testing the army food, I thought your video was cool The flour is best when sautéed with bacon (especially if you dip the roast beef in it - LOL). There are a lot of people here who don't like food with a lot of broth, and they add flour to thicken it. The army here sends the soldiers the closest food possible to what they would find at home, I think this is a great initiative. Try the one that comes with feijoada next time, it's delicious.

[@Jimmy183]

Comi muito quando eu estava no exército em missões nas tragédias que correram em Pernambuco em 2010 .. eu gostava de uma que era carne de bovina com batatas e arroz.... Sou seu inscrito agora ✌️🇧🇷👍 Eu fui do 7 Batalhão de Engenharia e combate de Natal RN, Companhia de Engenharia de Pontes de combate .

[@denisonunglaub]

Im brazilian “enjoy” never heard of that brand I love farinha, I’ll always put farinha on my rice and beans, it makes a world of difference

[@Rodrigo98181]

Hello, I served 5 years and I can say that you forgot the most important thing: lemon juice or "electrolyte replenisher" was mixed with alcohol gel to make drinks in the woods lol Note: each package of powdered juice was supposed to be diluted in 1 liter of water XD You lost a kidney with every sip there, my friend lol

[@Bravebelly]

No way..are you serious about the gel and lemon drink?!

[@Mikey-nb7nt]

😂😂

[@LeonardoDNA]

​@@Bravebelly Usually those types of alcohol have some substance in it to induce vomit if ingested. HOWEVER, those powdery juices have so much sugar that it isn't hard to find the correct proportions to mitigate the substance and get something like a lemon vodka (almost like our beloved "caipirinha") :P
