MRE Review: Canadian IMP Menu #12 Chicken Cordon Bleu (2014)

[@swgaguy7710]

I'm glad that there are people to show us the MRes there might come a time you need to use em

[@ShowToddSomeLove]

a French baker once told me life is pain

[@SeraphinaPZ]

/slow clap

[@KaiserPepeIII]

ShowToddSomeLove Life is bread?

[@wright5328]

you got it too

[@secondhandguru3558]

Tear drops*

[@Grosse_Douceur]

i see what you did there. Good one.

[@maximilianvonspee9329]

Great work as always man, the real ish bread in these Canadian rations is so nice. I think we can both agree from experience that wheat snack bread is like eating a piece of plastic by comparison.

[@gschultz9]

Pretty much.

[@deliciousMRE]

You made potato soup :) I liked this ration too, maybe because I like stronger flavors , this also an exception in the world of diced/minced/processed meat

[@vincedibona4687]

I love your RevereWare pots & pans.

[@rockyraab8290]

I'm sure it occurred to you in hindsight that it would have been smart to use the chicken broth for some or most of the potato fluid, adding water as needed. I'm doubly sure that's how a soldier would do it the second time he had this meal.

[@gschultz9]

That does sound like a good (and tasty) idea!

[@AdmiralPreparedness]

Pretty nice overall meal ration. Having the extended drinks is comforting so one can sit around after a day of war fighting and relax to a nice hot or cold drink, lite snack.

[@thomasbiel7741]

Good review and ration. Thank you.

[@Iridium242]

Wow, I had a friend in Canada send me 2 cases of these MREs and not ONE had those chicken cordon bleus in them. That looked pretty good, most of the MRES from Canada were fairly decent.

[@gschultz9]

Too bad you had to miss out on the Cordon Bleu. The Canadians seem to be really good about changing up the menus on a regular basis. The good thing about that is it keeps you from getting sick of something too quickly. The bad thing is that one (or more) of your favorite menus might disappear before you're ready to say goodbye to them!

[@sharonmaurer2882]

Really enjoyed the video and looking foward to more:)

[@Daves45auto]

I recently tried the IMP as well and I was pretty impressed overall. The onion mashed potatoes reconstituted better for me but I did a lot of stirring and it was still a bit thin. Good video!

[@10191927]

You know what I would've done, used the sauce from the cordon blue and hydrated the potatoes with it, that way the sauce isn't wasted and makes the potatoes taste 10x better.

[@KahlestEnoch]

Yay a canadian one, I really want to try this one. I have noticed that with the Potatoes they haven't added enough of the potato mix for the amount of water I think you should just add a small amount and then add more as needed so you don't make potato soup.

[@MsKestrela]

That's a ration I'd be very happy to get, I think. Great review, as always.

[@amanacatandhisdog8836]

Looks like a good meal. You always do a great job w your descriptions. I am not a big coffee fan so I would have been tempted to combine expresso and latte together.

[@bostark7722]

always use less water then it says-holy potato soup...nice...cheers G-man

[@SnickerSkye]

"Pain" is bread in French. Pain hamburger is just the French translation. Since Canada is a bilingual country, our packaging has both French and English translations on it.

[@secondhandguru3558]

When you have runny potatoes add a little starch to thicken them up

[@ZombieBitesAgain]

good job and review gschultz i am from canada

[@kopicafe1]

I hear your intro bells alot at pilot and flying Jay truck stops. Any coincidence?

[@dillonsnyder1172]

Pain Hamburger, a classic. Kind of funny if you're an American. (Insert Duke Nukem voice)

[@MultiMagnum62]

Great job G !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the IMP's. They used to have A lot more amenities, comforts than U.S. MRE's. They have cut back lately however. Bad luck on mashed potatoes, main and all other items looked awesome ! Peace, John, Magnum.

[@TxRanks]

Had to watch this one after your recent one.these tend to be more expensive with shipping and all but mre info only goes to 2008 on the imps really wanna see what I’m gettin if I buy one from 2014

[@mordeys]

I wonder if out in the field they may add the hot liquid from the main to the mashed instead of water or as replacement to part of the water? great video thanks.

[@samurphy]

Precisely.

[@PartOfTheGame]

Never been this early before. Glad I was up to watch.

[@gschultz9]

Me too!

[@guigal2]

It would be nice if they breaded the chicken, and put it in without any sauce so the breading wouldn't get soggy. But I guess that might be too complicated.

[@mikenauer2403]

mmm look yummy

[@AgentTasmania]

That brick shape probably makes packing loads of them easier and neater.

[@gschultz9]

Definitely. It's a good design.

[@olmatedropbear7862]

Great one. Fantastic looking meal. Did it also have mushrooms in the chicken? I am not sure of the darker part. Cheers mate.

[@gschultz9]

There weren't any mushrooms in the chicken. The dark part you saw was probably the ham (which was pretty dark and was almost black on the edge.

[@Hadra568]

The cordon bleu is Decent

[@METALMAN4Wii]

Arby's has a pretty good chicken cordon Blu!

[@markhawksford785]

METALMAN4Wii *bleu

[@METALMAN4Wii]

"Screams who sent you"?

[@markhawksford785]

METALMAN4Wii I just had to dog.

[@gschultz9]

You know, I think I had that some years back, and it was very tasty!

[@METALMAN4Wii]

gschultz9 Yeah they have a few good things like the potato cakes and their curly fries!

[@hamzakhamlichi190]

I'm looking forward to this video (I'm still shocked 1080p screen watching in 480p still looks good lol)

[@gschultz9]

I'm glad to hear that it does. I know that everyone has long-switched to HD, but unfortunately my ancient equipment will still not allow for me to do it. Hopefully I'll be able to upgrade soon...

[@hamzakhamlichi190]

Dont worry about upgrading man/ this honestly looks good and im a guy who enjoy gd quality vids and i must say im content (:

[@ricktimmons458]

that looks great. hope the USA can adapt and get our troops this meal.

[@1234hfgv]

does the candain forces recive frh sepratly on the field? how do they heat their food?

[@samurphy]

There are cookers issued to each unit for group meals. Additionally, there is a solid fuel stove that nests with the Canadian canteen and cup system for individual cooking. Each member should have that stove along with some solid fuel tabs, hence the matches.

[@Hadra568]

You can also get frh separately

[@hazoish7670]

You mean ready to drink?

[@jasonscollection6357]

ever thought about patreon? the community could aid in some new production material for you!

[@gschultz9]

I've thought about that, but do feel strange asking for money.

[@jasonscollection6357]

small price to pay for awesome new content

[@Pythonassum]

Lol I heard "sliced piers" for "sliced pears"

[@alianchild]

Never, EVER, put peanut butter or anything else on your bun until you open your main. NEVER!

[@bainaborrokannago6517]

Can anyone advise a supplier of Canadian IMP to India? Any help would be huge. Thank you in advance.

[@johnhenry8424]

Add water to line. Do you not see the line under the writing? Yeah! Welcome to Canada

[@ladybassplayer23]

What's the oldest mre you ever reviewed

[@robertsheetz6067]

The cheese in the Chicken Cordon Bleu .... Is Bleu cheese

[@xuntld12]

DUDE JUST FUCKING EAT IT, TAKES YOU FOREVERRRRRR TO FINALLY EAT IT.

[@gagaface26]

xuntld12 skip ahead in the video?

[@philipmelton2066]

The Potato's are supposed to be like that,more of a Potato soup, not mashed

[@suzieq4750]

U.S. should switch to Baxter's! Stop feeding our troops dog food!

[@NativeWarrior88]

suzieq I'd be pissed if we switched to Baxter's. I think they're food is nasty. America mres aren't that bad.

[@secondhandguru3558]

suzieq Agree!

[@shannonfriet6291]

Pain hamburger!!!!!lol!!!!!

[@zhaneranger]

Just think of it as a potato soup

[@jane-annarmstrong6562]

I would have put the chicken in the bun and made a chicken sandwich!

[@vincedibona4687]

Not breaded & fried - that's not CCB.

[@limpetarch98k]

Even " cooked ", that chicken is so pale it makes me wonder if you caught salmonella, especially when considering your last video is from 3 years ago as of now.

[@mrsmayhems]

Fun fact for those who don't know Honey is the only food that doesn't spoil because of its low water content.
