FRENCH Military MRE Review | RCIR Ration De Combat 24-HOUR Taste Test NATO Forces Meal Ready to Eat

[@viamontes1]

In France, there is a well-known combo, duck foie gras with fig jam and a light dash of balsamic vinegar. When I saw you putting jam on the pie, I was sure you were going to have a good surprise. I really liked the fact that you were testing different mixtures, adding chocolate to the rice pudding, etc. we lack better energy drinks and better eating utensils in our rations.

[@rivethead138]

Do you put that on bread or crackers? Because that sounds really good.

[@viamontes1]

@@rivethead138 On toasted rustic bread, on a slice of gingerbread or on fig bread !

[@kevinstrade2752]

I've had rations from a dozen counties, French is my favorite. Quality is 10+ and it comes with enough accessories to heat and process your food. Just add water to some. I heard they actually have gourmet chefs over see the making of these. I wouldn't doubt it. Fantastic!!!

[@rifleshooterchannel208]

Gotta have something good to eat when you surrender I guess.

Crime of Lèse-Majesté... apricot jam on the Duck Paté, you killed me LOL

[@goupigoupi6953]

Tuna salad: To be consumed cold. It's written right there on the can!

[@raideurng2508]

God damn, that is, by far, the best ration I have ever seen. Usually there's some stuff I'd personally not touch but it all looks really good. I have a feeling those aren't being handed out constantly on deployment.

[@marcjohnson4884]

I was in the Air Force and Army Guard, knew the French ration had the best rep. When I got to try them, they were great. You know the best way to eat each item.

[@csr870]

Great review rr what a great ration everything looked great

[@thisandthatwithmatt]

Love the review!! That chocolate musli is hands down the best! Nice touch on the jelly du’ pate lol😆😆. I always cringe when you put scalding hot water into a glass! Thanks for sharing as always!!

[@dianepusateri5841]

Like I said before..I just found the channel. I like your descriptions of the food that's being tested. Some is kinda gross but I like it lol

[@rteague1312]

Awesome review, my friend! I would never have thought of using the strawberry jam and the pate together! Way to think on the fly…keep the reviews coming!

[@thepsychomagus]

my favorite thing to add to rice pudding is cinnamon but when you dont have it that was a nice idea to top it with the chocolate

[@mrjaspersrevenge]

The bayonet goes to the MAS 49/56.

[@MultiMagnum62]

Very cool Amigo! These are great rations. I have tried 3, and, due to my luck, never got one on film. LOL. Always A malfunction. The Nougat bars, failed me on all. Smelled like paint thinner. Rest of all components, were excellent. Those folding sporks, not much use, but they are cool. Mine are here somewhere. I have done the same thing, with the salades, just not tuna. The ones I tried, did benefit from heating, in my opinion. I am glad you enjoyed the majority of the food. Peace from Ky. John.

[@estright9293]

mas49 and some high end mre.s are definitely a exquisite pairing 😅

[@KaylynnStrain]

love this tuna salad heated, have never tried that Asian soup before

[@funyunmaker3182]

I don't think I have found any of the salads that tasted better cold than hot. Great review 👏.

[@AvmechZ]

I guess you never tried a Polish ration they are the best!

[@marilynscull4585]

Awesome review RR

[@slim13outdoors99]

Nice review!

[@mikekreischerreviews3420]

Great review dude. I have enjoyed every French RCIR I have dived into. If you get a small can of the pickled tuna it is absolutely phenomenal. The apricot jam is great as well. There are just so many great components in these rations.

[@mikefranklin1253]

It's important to learn to mix contents of combat/survival rations to boost the taste and create variety.

[@ManicMechanic82]

OooOH HOh HOh HOh HOh HOH! We have Le Escargot in our-r-r-r MR-rEs! No? Seriously though the French MRE gives you the best Accessory pack ever which I consider to be vital in any emergency situation!!! They also give you extra fire/stove tablets which can be used for making an emergency fire!!! The trash bag is also extremely important and can be used as a small makeshift tent if you can tack against a large boulder or cliff side and a fire heat that trash bag tent to over 90 degrees which could save your life in a cold weather situation or environment!!!! I find that to be essential and extremely useful!!! Also the tissues are great fire starting material as well as toilet paper! mylar blankets are small and easy to include! All of these things can fit easily a bag. Along with anything else can be helpful even ext bullets! and anything that will fit into the bay

[@rushmixtape6508]

Do more MREs!!!! I need more!!!!

[@andrewcombe8907]

The French ration is excellent save for four issues. 1. The matches are hopeless. Like truly hopeless. I had to use a lighter. 2. Once you take the plastic wrap off the cardboard box perishes pretty quickly if it comes into contact with moisture. 3. There is no dairy whitener for the coffee or tea which can be a problem if you like milk in your hot brew. 4. The weight due to lots of cans makes carrying three days’ worth of rations a punish. Other nations are moving to retort pouches to save on weight.

[@pupupupuducul4791]

Thumb up for trying to improve your meal by mixing what you have, that's french style! (even if it's disgusting... RIP duck pâté)

[@jpc7118]

The Baîonnette of the FAMAS.... How does it come you have one ?

[@ReadinessRations]

I bought it from a company that imported it from Ethiopia

[@misolgit69]

and if you notice not one component of this box is military it's all civilian meals and snacks supposedly available on open mkt although they obviously produce X amount for the military

[@raideurng2508]

The French are well known for doing more with less in terms of military procurement. Why not use civilian items if they meet the requirements and are cheaper? Something I never really understood about US MREs, but the US makes a shitload of MREs so economies of scale I guess.

[@alexandrelarsac9115]

@@raideurng2508 the point is to give the soldier a home like experience with food is used to from childhood.

I am disappointed it isn't just cheese, wine, and escargot. Goiod review though, it's interesting seeing the different MREs, some seem to be very high quality and others questionable at best.

Why does this guy talk like this?

[@lucifermorningstar4606]

Like the British, the French have mess tins... Cooking them in the tin it comes with is a last resort.

After seeing a lot of these European rations, it's honestly embarrassing to see what our guys get.
