MRE: Canada Individual Meal Pack, Menu #12 "Pulled Pork" ~2019~

[@JC-qu7tn]

That’s a solid menu !!! The potatoes in the pulled pork is kinda sacrilegious, maybe it’s a Canadian thing. Where I come from it’s on a bun or white bread with a side of onion and pickles! You should try Stubbs BBQ sauce, it’s my favorite. Sweet baby rays isn’t bad either though.

[@TravisStewart42]

I've never seen potatoes in pulled pork in Canada, and I've lived in New Brunswick, various places in Ontario, and Vancouver; so I've had it all over the place. I think it is just one of those weird things you have to roll with when a ration creator sets their sights on a food. They decide it needs to be bulked up, and they don't care if it is sacrilegious. At least it was something fairly neutral in flavour, weird bit probably not bad.

[@Amsayy]

I’m guessing it’s a way to add cheap bulk and calories to the meal more than anything.

[@micahj9828]

No pain burger. No cracker for your pb&j. Potatos as fillef in your bbq. No frh. Canadia is an odd place. They did give you 2 yella drank. So you have that going for you, which is nice.

[@anthonyseabury5487]

Love your vids! Would you go into more detail bout your hot logic setup, and how you use it for MRE'S please?

[@gundog4314]

Sure, I'll try to remember in an upcoming vid.

[@anthonyseabury5487]

Thank you, Sir!

[@carstenmichel8905]

Nice Gundog. Had this one a while ago but with a Hamburger bun. I think it was a 2017 or so. The only component i did not like was they date square bar. It was super dry. The rest was good

[@gundog4314]

I wonder what is up with that date square? Mine was moist, looked like Gschultz's was too. I think you were screwed over Carsten HAHA

[@carstenmichel8905]

@@gundog4314 don't know, maybe i'm just used to eat real dates that are not that dry

[@dubc3615]

I recently picked up 2 IMPs first was Poutine and I tell you what it was fantastic. 2nd was Shepard's pie but had some pouch bloat so didn't get to try. Another great review sir always makes my day better!

[@truckermre]

Dub C Shepherds Pie always does that. Still safe to eat!!

[@dubc3615]

Dang that's what I get for being a MRE noob.

[@truckermre]

Dub C hahaha it happens. I don’t take chances either

[@banshee107]

Looks pretty good

[@darrenspohn8376]

I thought they were finally packing a frh with the imp.

[@gundog4314]

I think they are handed out separately but who knows, maybe 2020 is the year they add them to the bag

[@CarboniteDreamer]

remember its not "gourmet" unless you add something that shouldn't be there potatoes in pulled pork i mean when your hungry it'll fill you up, but tortillas..really? that date bar looks good i like dates their one of my favorite desserts dietary fiber vitamin b6 iron decent boost of protein magnesium and a big boost of potassium so that would be an amazing evening meal. gotta agree on the sweet baby rays love that sauce. thank you for a great review even without the sauce i wouldn't balk at eating that but i might only use the tortillas for the pbj.

[@anthonylorton2421]

Looked good.

[@Andovarius]

I took your advice and got myself a Hot Logic Mini. Wish you could have gotten a commission on it...

[@gundog4314]

How do you like it? I use for all kinds of stuff from food to heating up socks or gloves on a cold winters day.

[@Andovarius]

Lol, never heard of Gundogging up my socks! I’ll try that this week...lots of snow and cold here in Wisconsin

[@gundog4314]

Your feet will thank you HAHA

[@shannonfriet6291]

Sweet baby rays woohoo!!!!! Nice review thanks gundog!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!

[@mkbarber65]

Nice review Gundog, glad you enjoyed the pulled pork and I agree it should have the ‘pain hamburger’. The date square is a real taste of home-comfort food. One of my favourite desserts, awesome that it’s in the IMP’s. Take care and stay well sir!

[@pricer1707]

Looks like a lot you can play around with in this to keep it varied! Great review as usual !

[@theoldgrowler3489]

You forgot the Tabasco!

[@gundog4314]

It was hidden under the other bun half, I did try it after the fact. What's the next beer on the tasting notes?? Hoping a nice Lager or Amber. Cheers P

[@eagle6754]

First IMP Ihave ever seen without the "Pain!"

[@GrimElegance]

Sweet baby rays is good.

[@Amsayy]

I’m wondering if the potatoes are a way to add bulk to meal at a low cost.

[@geno5360]

Potatoes as a filler inside pulled pork? Does that strike anyone else as particularly peculiar and strange? I saw Gundog mentioned it too but that's a weird one. Do Canadians do Pulled Pork different than we Americans do?

[@truckermre]

Geno E no, not normally lol. Never know what to expect in a ration 🙈

[@geno5360]

@@truckermre Interesting stuff. So there's not even a remotely understood rhyme, reason or logic related to authentic Canadian cuisine for putting those potatoes in?

[@truckermre]

Geno E no lol. None at all. Maybe it cuts costs for the IMPs, by reducing the pork and adding potatoes??? Some of our IMP menus are a little bizarre 😂

[@geno5360]

Shoot if they wanna save money so badly they can just put fattier cheaper cuts of meat and more sauce compared to meat and maybe even add potato starch and corn starch to make the meat stretch more I just found that decision peculiar. I guess depending on the meal it could still better than what they do for Americans MREs by mixing meat substitutes like TVP into it but pulled pork... Not so much. By the way I'm sure you already know but I love watching your videos CT! Always excited for the next one!

[@truckermre]

Geno E thank you!!! 😁 yeah, this is my assumption why the potatoes are in there, it sure isn’t normal to have them in there lol

[@winginitwithirishcolleen6692]

Yum! The pain bun definitely beats the heck out of the tortilla. I’ve never made pulled pork with potatoes BUT it sounds good. Great review!

[@sarchlalaith8836]

Pulled pork is so over rated. Its got so little flavour until smothered in sauce

[@gundog4314]

Well all meat really has little flavor which is why most people season it up before cooking. I mean the rubs and flavor injections at BBQ competitions is insane but the BBQ is ohhhh soooo gooood

[@vipergtsmre]

Great menu and review!

[@PinetreeLine]

Love me some date square! Grew up on that as a dessert. Love the additions you made! Great review brother!

[@TravisStewart42]

I'm not that into sweets, usually prefer something savory, but date squares are one of those baked goods I can't say no to. So moist, love the texture. Right up there with butter tarts for me.

[@JenniferinIllinois]

The Canadians put a hamburger bun in every other IMP but the one that really needs it, nope! Weird.

[@arandomperson3516]

Pain hamburger

[@trevorbodnar5495]

Pulled pork, tortillas and peanut butter and jelly? And here I thought they were getting better about having odd combinations.

[@olmatedropbear7862]

That whole ration looked amazing! Yum! Yum! Yum!

[@ReadinessReviews]

C T is a class act! Awesome review on a fantastic looking ration meal. I need to try a date square.

[@sharonmaurer2882]

Great review as always. Love me some pulled pork and rays is the best:)

[@tedsmart5539]

Prefer a Coffee Crisp bar to M&Ms.... it's a Canuck thing

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

You ever get that thermometer to test water etc in your heater.

[@Andovarius]

Jimmie Burleigh The manual says it will not boil water, but it obviously gets pretty close

[@tracyphillips3325]

Can't go wrong with Sweet Baby Ray's barbeque sauce. I love the Date Square. That is a great IMP. One of my favorites. Excellent job buddy 👍

[@SmittyMRE]

Heck yeah, glad you got to try that bad boy. CT is a heck of great dude.

[@loosemoose4134]

Feeling crappy so I’m up late. Guess my last video before turning on Steve to help me sleep will be a good one.

[@gundog4314]

Try listening to this guy, Nathan Lowell, he's got kind of a Bob Ross soft voice that just knocks me out. Ravenwood is my "go to" book. scribl.com/browse?search=Nathan%20Lowell&page=1&bf=all:ebooks:audio_ebooks:podcasts&ac=0

[@truckermre]

Damn. The 2018s came with hamburger buns... so weird they changed to tortillas 🙈 great video!! Thanks for the shoutout!! 😁

[@davidv2002]

probably included them so you have 2 breads, one to use your pb and j with and one for the pork

[@billykirby4175]

yummy but I am not a fan of sweet baby Ray's

[@rockyraab8290]

See? Who says a ration dork can't get a date? LOL! (Another great review, my brutha.)

[@itsmeladyg2]

You got my taste buds primed up for pulled pork I have a big pork roast in the slow cooker over night to make pulled pork later today. Good video review

[@bigt9905]

Uh...you obviously don't live in the Southwest. Tortillas and pulled pork are like peas and carrots...

[@gundog4314]

Nope and everyone knows REAL BBQ is east of the Mississippi HAHA Seriously, I wonder why? Seeing as potatoes aren't an indigenous staple of the part of the country. I grew up in SoCal and never saw it there same with Yuma, AZ or Albuquerque, NM but then again I ate mostly authentic Mexican rather than BBQ. Cheers Big T!

[@alrighteeyore6764]

I had the date square cold and thought it was nasty lol

[@gundog4314]

I love oatmeal so those oaty tones really carried over for me and won the day.

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

Do the chili next. That will be interesting to see their idea of it. But yeah I agree about the bun. But what you expect it's Canada (no offense) Heck the could of put both I would call that BBQ pork with potatoes not pulled pork.

[@rogerm9376]

need to send items that make it on video.

[@MrShadowknight2000]

Sweet baby rays is awesome

[@marilynscull4585]

This is my favorite IMP

[@aserta]

Tic Tac is pure sugar, so why the heck is it in there? Sheesh.

[@Amsayy]

aserta likely because there’s a contract with Ferraro, the plant is local. But it’s a missed opportunity to not include Nutella in some of the IMPs since it’s done at the same plant as the tic tac mini pouches.

[@macsenpuma]

I like the Sweet Baby Ray's Chipotle myself.

[@itb1820]

I need closure on kiwi dude

[@gundog4314]

I do too. I miss my buddy, but everything in life is always moving forward, same for ration reviewers I guess. Cheers

[@MrShadowknight2000]

Cheese spread would have been a great addition to this menu

[@youtube.commentator]

New sub, thank you for your service. Please don't ever tell us about canadians pulling their pork again 😄

[@MrShadowknight2000]

The date square looks like a chocolate brownie

[@KaylynnStrain]

Would love to get a date swuare in an IMP

[@JonMadsen70]

:)

[@jhill4874]

After watching all these different MRE/meal reviews, it seems to me that these companies go out of their way to mismatch items in a meal.

[@gundog4314]

I know right?! I call it the spinning wheel or dart board method...whatever the dart or wheel lands on is what goes in the bag.

[@braniganirby7676]

2019MRE🍕🖕🏼😂🖕🏼

[@braniganirby7676]

😳

[@MrShadowknight2000]

You should visit my area for some great BBQ it is awesome

[@UbiqueGrid]

Sweet bbq sauce is what you’ll find across Canada as the main choice for pulled pork, mesquite in my opinion is gross
