Taste Testing a 2019 Polish MRE!

[@gballs007]

As someone who has tried over 25 different countries military MREs....Polish ones are in the top 3 of best ones...and they still make their own homemade main meals, unlike many of the other countries who now use commercialized companies to supply the main meals (3 different companies provide the meals for over 15 different countries now)... you definitely started off trying the international ones the right way...

[@MeAncient]

That's good to know, Drew. How did you come about trying all those different meals? TFW

[@gballs007]

@@MeAncient Not sure if you are aware, but trying all the different kinds of MREs and Rations from all over the world became a popular hobby a few years ago.. There are a few youtubers who were the first ones (and most popular) reviewing them and it grew to having 1 million+ fans of it and got lots of people interested in trying them all. The main person who started it is Steve1989 (He. Reviews all kinds of rations (edible and non food) old and new. He really has a passion and wanted to make sure there was some kind of historical documentation of these items and lots of them would be lost in time without someone doing it. Def worth checking out. Do you have an email or address to send you something ?

[@MeAncient]

@@gballs007 Drew, the way I found out about the popularity of MREs is that one day when Ace and I were boat fishing we decided to do a catch and cook. The catch part did not go so well. After we ate the meager catch, I remembered that I had stowed a few old MREs that I had been dragging around from way back in my active duty days. Well, Ace recorded me opening the MRE and trying some (It was a little too old for me to eat all of it, but, as I recall, I did sample everything.) His comment section lit up with people excited about MRE tasting. I never would have thought that MREs would be such a big thing. But that's when I decided that if I ever did start my own channel, I'd try opening up the MREs I had left over from USMC days. Since then, Micah and Ace have both bought me more and I've found a few myself. I've also seen Steve's channel but haven't every watched one of his videos all the way through. I don't want to be influenced by other channels. I like the idea of doing my own thing with my own unique perspective. My mailing address would be Ace Video's address : PO Box 16893 in Bristol, VA. 24209 Put Ace Video with Attn: MeAncient on any correspondence. Thank you for watching and the input, Drew.

"Suchary", pronounced as [soo'Harry] means literally "dry biscuits". It comes from the word "suchy" [soo'hee] which basically means "dry". Very traditional biscuits here in Poland. "Specjalne" [speh'cee'alneh] means "spacial". They are hard. They've always been that way as far as I can imagine and remember. They tend to be more salty (a bit) , sometimes with addition of some spices, but definitely not sweet. "Makaron" [ma'carron] means pasta indeed. "Makaron po bolońsku" [ma'carron poh ball'onscoo] literally means "pasta a'la Bolognese". "Malinowy" [malee'novee] is an adjective and comes from a noun "malina" (raspberry). Hey, no offense taken for mistakenly taking Polish for Czech 😉 The pronunciation I gave here is obviously as close as I can provide. In Polish the letter "w" is never pronounced as in the word "wood", but as in the word "very" 🙂 The letter "e" is never like in the word "Lee" but rather in the word "letter" (the first "e"). I hope it all tasted good, for an MRE of course 😉 The easiest way to tell the Polish language from the Czech language (by what's written) is that in Polish there's no diacritic signs such as "š" and "č" (those V-shaped additions on top). Instead, in Polish, we'd use two letters "sz" and "cz". Both in Czech and Polish they are pronounced as "sh" / "tch" almost as in the words "shoot" or "perch" (or Czech! 😁). I loved your boot camp stories 👍 Damn, I'm hungry now 😁 The spam is called "mielonka" [myeh'lonkah] in Polish I guess from looking at it, and if it is what I think it is it is best to take it out of the can and use a knife to slice it and put it on those crackers. Then, they would go very well with sweet coffee ☕👍

Greetings from Poland! Really liked your video. The small meat package is something like a chopped pork / luncheon meat, you can heat it but it's usually eaten cold as a spread on bread / crackers. You can buy the fruit drink "pellets" in a bigger package (at least in Poland), children often eat it as candy instead of making the drink, at least that's what we did :) And not sure how it's usually in US, but when you check calorie content, it's often listed per 100g and not per package.

Hi, ex-polish military here :) So, - you got a fairly good menu (although hungarian gulash is by far the best), - you got one vit. C and one coffee candy - large zipper bag was usually used for water purification, but the tablets were in a larger 24h patrol ration, - panzerwaffles are kinda legendary around here, You can replace teeth broken by them - with them, - the raspberry instant drink is supposed to be drank with the straw while the bag is zipped, - salt works great added to the flameless heater water, - spam cans are the best ashtrays, - the shortest recorded unit of time is the duration of xylithol chewing gums taste, - the only purpose of the honey is to make everything sticky, also, for some reason it helped with the insect bites, perhaps someone knows why, I always added the honey to the heater pack, liquify it and used it to make the raspberry tea sweeter, sugar can give quite an energy punch during long marches - the green plastic bag is made from a very thick plastic, which works great as a tinder (SORRY GRETA, DEAL WITH IT), - I know it will sound a bit disgusting, but the wet wipes used as a toilet paper is the best thing that happened to the army since the beginning of time. No more japanese “itchybutty” syndrom

"Suchary" is a kind of crackers and the name comes from "suchy" that means dry. Nothing common with sugar, saccharin. They should be eaten slowly, apart from other meals, through all day by scraping little by little with teeth. It gives catching taste and fed feeling. No jam, butter or dive into tea, it`s not bread or roll

[@andrzej3511]

How do you want to test the MRE when you don't know what you are testing and how to use it? Polish MREs differ significantly from those unified in most armies in the world. It would be advisable to go to a little trouble and translate the directions for use. Properly used, Polish MREs are one of the best in the world, both in terms of taste and caloric value. I know something about it - I am Pole. In Polish Army is used to say: a good bowl (jargon: food) as important as a good weapon. Isn't it? A small can of ground pork, without heating, is added to a serving of rusks, usually eaten for breakfast. Fruit jelly, jam is usually eaten with rusks for supper. The main course, that really needs to be heated patiently, even longer than recommended in the manual - it warms up slowly - this is a comprehensive lunch. The big advantage of the polish MREs is that the soldier does not run to the latrine every five minutes. It may seems funny to someone, but in combat conditions it is really a very important property. Everyone who was in the army knows it very well. It is strange to me to watch a soldier eating in a cap, no Pole will eat like that. Soldiers always take off their cap or headgear, even helmet, at meals - this is the custom both in the army and in civilians. Eating in headgear in Poland is treated as an extreme lack of upbringing.

[@mikemathews9277]

The way I remember boot camp was you get in bed and before you know it it’s Reveille ,PT off to chow hall for Breakfast and PT throughout the Day Shark Attacks and do your requirements for training drilled for your constant Stress requirements……… they always keep you busy and then eventually you graduate……those who couldn’t figure this process out made me more appreciative of the Drill Instructors ability to show you can dot it and Get The Job done!!!

[@MeAncient]

I was so worried about the physical aspect of boot camp. I kept telling myself that hundreds of thousands of other guys had made it before me back when it was more difficult so I could do it too. Then, the easy part was the physical (I felt like we were always 'playing' on an adult jungle gym or I was doing what I did as a kid, camping, shooting, running; basically just having fun outside. The part that I had trouble with was drill. I'll tell a few stories about that in a video to come. TFW, as always, Mike.

I'm not surprised you found the Kofik to be strong. The point of it isn't to be a dessert candy as such, but to be a nicely portable replacement for an actual cup of coffee, caffeine and all.

It was REAL good. TFW

I don't know why I enjoyed this story so much

[@golem3080]

what you got here is the cheapest polish MRE thats basically just a lunch, you should check out the 24hrs polish ration with 3 full meals, those are quite tasty

[@genius1198]

You know you are definitely right you should be doing a taste review on all MREs like an everyday thing because not only do you have the background experience with the old MREs you have the new experience of excitemen along with a good sense of taste for everybody to enjoy ,your experience to make it feel like .....we are experiencing it as well..... definitely the best MRE review and I watch a lot of them thank you and you can thank yourself for that....

writes from Poland, great video and tasty :) best regards

[@workgd3083]

awsome video, i think it serves its purpose especially the coffee candy, imagine you are really tired escaping the danger and you need to stay awake, this would be very handy in that moment

[@MeAncient]

Indeed! No cooking or heating up. Like a caffeine pill. TFW!
