MRE CHEESE TORTELLINI W/ CHOCOLATE & NUT SPREAD

[@donhermance6173]

Another great video. I love the stories. Be blessed.

[@MeAncient]

Thank you! You too!

[@Sammmeow]

That main is good when heated through. If the mre heater isn't as vigorous as it should be, add half your salt packet to the water in the heater. Usually makes it work better. Speaking from experience

[@MeAncient]

Great advice and thank you for it! Hopefully I'll remember for next time. TFW

Listen brother, I absolutely love listening to stories like these. I didn't get to know my grandpa, and my dad and I never really got along, but military history was always something he loved. And hearing you talk about your stories reminds me of my dad. So thanks my dude. Keep on keeping on.

We do not miss the snow shovel in wintertime but it is expensive to keep in a supply of our springtime favorite, real maple syrup. After ten years, a person can get used to life in the tropics.

Do a series of how you would cook these while your out in the field. Like what you would have on you (in the field) and if you could cook it another way, would you?

[@chicocheche4283]

I’m no expert to say that everything in that trey is like eating a full course meal while being hungry and out on the fields so to my defense it might not seem pleasant or all that satisfying to see now but out there it must be heaven to eat 👍🏻

[@MrJester87]

I remember when I used to get the cheese totalini. It was one of my favorite, but I don't remember there being any pudding. Of course, when I used to get it, it was back in like 2008 2009 2010 2011. It seems like maybe change it quite a bit. I remember there being some type of hard candy instead of pudding

Good idea. Boil up some water in a bigger pot and throw the whole unopened pouch into the water for about 5 minutes. Then add some of the boiled water to soften things up, as necessary. TFW

[@corkbulb2895]

So, I bet you got an older meal. I just ate a 2021 date stamped tortellini MRE, which is probably even older since they stamp inspection dates 3-5 years after manufacture. The tomato sauce was creamy, very liquidy, like tomato sauce should be. Same thing with an elbow macaroni in tomato sauce I ate recently. Also, another thing that shocked me was the FRH (flameless ration heater) included in these newer MREs. Either the design is different, or age seriously degrades them from older meals, but the new one I tried from 2021 got SO hot SO fast that it *burned* my fingertips from just trying to mix it to start it up! Like, adding cold water to BOILING in 5 seconds flat. After I dropped it, it was STEAMING! I have NEVER seen an FRH heat up so fast or so violently. It got the food I put in there piping hot in literally a minute. Don't know why, either old age degradation or newer, more efficient design, but that US MRE FRH shocked me how well it worked.

[@MeAncient]

You may be correct on that . TFW
