COMPARING 2 SPANISH MREs FT. ACE VIDEOS

[@eslSlightz]

The food in the Spanish MREs looks definitely more wholesome and “natural” than in the American MREs 😉

[@MeAncient]

They have all been delicious, for sure. TFW!

[@0FoX0]

@@MeAncient You should try and get the breakfast nº1 MRE, it comes with all those delicious cookies you mention in your videos, you will definitely like it. you put a lot of passion into each video and it shows. I know for a friend in the states that using amazon, he was able to found the tuna salad and even squid in ink (and lots of spanish products). It takes a lot of time to prepare, so even us buy it canned to eat at home. Try and Search this brands: Calvo (this one for the tuna salad), Albo, Ribeira for the squid. Hope it can help you. Thank you for your service, and a big hug and greetings from Spain.

[@minhducnguyen9276]

If there's one thing in common in most MREs is most of them have stew dishes but Americans MREs for the most part don't have a stew.

[@sergiocanoalhambra1794]

The gravy is usually made with carrot.And for anyome wonderimg those squids in Spain are calles chipirones, they just put them inside out so remove the hard part and the tentacles stay inside. Glad you like our MRE 😃

[@MeAncient]

Sergio, those squid were OUTSTANDING!!! TFW

[@pandamilkshake]

As a Spaniard, it makes me really happy to see foreigners appreciating our food. Yes, our soldiers eat like kings because the philosophy in this country is that a man with good rest, good food and lots of s*x is a happy man so that translates over to the military 😂 Edit: Over here we do not "season" our food like you're used to. We use natural ingredients, herbs and let them cook in their own juices. Things like garlic powder and other powders are very rarely used in Spanish kitchens.

[@The_ZeroLine]

Does that mean state paid prostitutes travel with the soldiers?

[@pandamilkshake]

@@The_ZeroLine No, it means that the wives/girlfriends can travel with the soldiers to wherever the bases are and they have about 8 hours every week day to be with them and the entire weekend, except if they get deployed.

[@pandamilkshake]

@@The_ZeroLine Even prisoners get a minimum of 1 hour, one day per week to have intimate relations with their spouse/girlfriend/prostitute. Even though prostitutes are not allowed, they always say "it's my girlfriend" and with no way to confirm that, they just go through. I am studying to be a prison officer so...I know 😂

[@russellcook4792]

[@pandamilkshake]

@@russellcook4792 Depends. Tuna from a can? No. Natural tuna used in dishes as in cooking it? Yes.

[@pandamilkshake]

Fun fact: We (civilians) often times buy MREs when we want to go camping, hiking etc. They're lighter and cheaper than going to the grocery store and they're tastier than pre-packed, dehydrated meals you can find.

[@AFVEH]

I'm a Spaniard, not in the military, but I did go to Marine (Infantería de Marina) military camp when I was younger, so I've had my fare share of these MREs. When I first tried them, I thought they were awesome (and we we were made to eat them cold as part of our training, so I can only imagine how good they are heated up), right up there with the food you'd get at many typical Spanish bars, and they are always typical Spanish dishes, so they're a really good introduction to Spanish cuisine which anyone in the world can get shipped to their doorstep. In regards to the squid, I love it, but I understand a non-Spaniard being skeptical about it. It's very much an acquired taste and very different to anything else when it comes to its flavor. My favorite Spanish MRE is the one with Cocido Madrileño as the main course, I don't remember what number it was, but that one's great.

[@keybiscayne17]

Spanish MRE’s are some of the best ones out there. Dutch and Danish MRE’s are great too! The sheer quantity in both is insane!

[@MeAncient]

Giorgie, I'll have to try a Dutch one soon. I enjoyed the Danish one I had already. TFW

[@charlesperez9976]

Spain. They just know how to can food. I have eaten canned Barnacles!! That jelly,it is best on bread with cheese,slices of pectin and cheese. Nobody cans tuna or squid or sardines like the Spanish people. Years ago,in the discount cart at my local grocery,for 50cents each,were Spanish canned goods. Nobody had any idea what was being given away. I purchased all of it,the tuna,anchovies,squid,octopus,clams,for Pennie’s on the dollar.

They are! I really recommend those squid in their own ink. If you don't have access to the MREs, perhaps a specialty food store or the canned fish part of a large supermarket might have a can or two. As always, TFW, Christine!

You should at least try some SQUID IN ITS OWN INK. Even if you buy just a tin of squid because you cannot find the MRE. TFW

[@armaggedon390]

That looked delicious. The pork, the tuna salad, the stew... Spanish MRE never disappoints. I bet those jams would have tasted good with crackers. I wish I could find some of that tuna salad around here, that'd be nice. Thanks for the video.

[@MeAncient]

That tuna salad would be great if found around here. TFW!

[@kaekae4010]

As Spanish I can confirm that we love fresh food, but we also have a quite unique canning industry. For all those interested, I think that you can buy practically anything online. Tuna salad is very typical in the Mediterranean (not only in Spain) I believe that canned fish, especially in salting and brine, dates back to the time of the Phoenicians, Its canning industry dates back to several centuries BC. From Cádiz to Greece. Tuna salad may be one of the oldest and most widespread meals in the Mediterranean. Now in summer on the table of practically every house. In addition, tuna is an almost mandatory ingredient in any salad. I can't live without a salad and gazpacho in summer. I know that the Spanish military, not accompanying that meal with fresh bread, makes it a bit hard, it would be perfect to feel at home.

[@MeAncient]

Maybe the crackers issued would help. TFW and thank you for your perspective!

[@geno5360]

That Tuna looks gourmet! Almost like something you're to eat as a warm meal rather than just as a cold salad kinda deal. Man both of these menus look like they rock.

Wow that’s a high quality MRE. Them soldiers eatin good! Love the vids with you and Asa

[@pandamilkshake]

That's because we believe that a well-fed soldier is better prepared for battle than the one who isn't. It boosts morale, soldiers get their calories naturally etc. If a soldier gets hungry and hates the food, he is gonna postpone it as much as he can, thus being more exhausted and weaker. If they like it, they'll eat, get their energy back and keep moving. That's the logic behind it. Also...our food is just *that* good but hey 😂

[@petronioaznar]

Spanish here,...that tuna is a salad and any salad in Spain we eat unheated. I am stunned to see those dishes are served in MRE 👍

[@MechaEmperor7000]

If you think this is good, I recommend trying out imported canned spanish seafood. I had some recently and it completely changed my ideas on what canned foods are. the Spanish have turned canning into an artform. EDIT: On the subject of the Squid, the Vietnamese also have a variant of stuffed squid where they add minced pork to the tentacles and serve it with a light tomato dressing. It is obviously not canned as the squid is just lightly poached in broth, but it looks really good. There's a few recipes floating on the internet, or maybe check out a vietnamese restaurant that specializes in seafood.

The canned tuna salad is usually called "ensaladilla rusa" (translates to "Russian salad",) although outside of spanish-speaking countries it's often called salade olivier (there's a video by My Name is Andong on youtube if you're curious about the history of it). There's a canned version by Goya available in stores that have a lot of latin canned foods. The stew is called "caldo gallego" ("galician broth") and is from the north of Spain; it's a very winter-y food and ingredient-wise it really does have a lot in common with southern US cooking -- ham hocks, beans, potato, greens and usually some sort of sausage (chorizo or morcilla (blood sausage) is traditional).

So i goggle it n the quince fruit been grown in England since the 13th century apparently. But they are also found in other parts of the world grown for years longer I think.

Regarding the quince fruit jelly vs apple jelly dessert. Quince is just like a watery and very crispy apple. It's basically just a similar flavor with a slightly different consistency, so when cooked down and prepared like here, it wouldn't be noticably different.

Thanks for the info regarding Quince. I, of course, did not know. TFW

Buffet on a boat! Gentlemen, you truly went "over the top" on this video. Wonderful family project and yes, I am now looking for my mid-night snack. Some of the relatives had quice bushes as part of their landscape. My resourceful GrandMother gratefully accepted all unwanted fruit and turned it into jam for the household including a special no-sugar version for my diabetic GrandFather.

Now that's some cool history, Jack. TFW and sharing!

😂😂 Its all fun and games and tasting spanish MREs till you set the boat on fire.. 😁 These MREs look delicious!! My goodness.. I watched a documentary a while back about the seafood canning industry in Spain.. some of the highest quality canned seafood in the world comes from Spain so its not surprising that Squid is so good! Glad you enjoyed 👍
