MRE Review 2016 French RCIR Menu 10 Sent In By Traversing Food !!!

[@GuppyCzar]

There's no level of joy like Nathan with a French RCIR.

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

Those mains on the French rations are fantastic.

[@nuked99]

Great review Nathan and really happy you enjoyed the ration! The mains always look so fresh in the French rations. Now i really hope one of my other French rations has the fish soup! Also drove up my sub count quite a bit. Really appreciate that and always glad to support the channel. Cheers!

[@NathansMRE]

Good to hear Steve just seen your video, thanks again for the ration

[@cwatson42785]

Happened to stumble upon your channel and really like it! Great stuff bud. Subbed! Also I checked out your Amazon store, are you a fellow German car owner? BMW? I got a Audi. They sure make great cars!!

[@fredthorne9692]

A gastronomic tour de force. As always, your attention to detail is magnifique.

[@pennythejet]

I tried the Menu 4 French ration and the mains were fantastic!

[@ForeignMRE]

Great review Nathan. Thank you for the shout out.

[@NathansMRE]

Thanks for watching guys

[@samsworldofrations6996]

With the French ration packs you get exactly what it says on the tin. If it says pork and potatoes you get lumps of pork and slices of potatoes. Awesome 👍

[@SFRC56]

Hello from France :) You can use the first plastic as a bag too :) Nice open card board open this time ! ENJOY :)

[@tristanward5147]

Love these videos, especially the vintage MREs. Only complaint that I have is that I can never find the link for his knife. And I keep looking. Anyway, thanks for spreading the knowledge about the taste of MREs

[@kermitthehermit5949]

The chocolate pudding is actually pudding and cake. It is very popular in France. There are two kinds of pate. There are the real smooth one and a coarser chopped one. The coarse style is called country style. The fish soup is excellent. It is almost a gravy. I saved mine and used it as such over mashed potatoes. Tasty.

[@TimIredale]

Well that was some timing. I have just tugged in to a few bit from my Menu 2 that I had left over. These ration are some of the best. Cheers Tim.

[@samsworldofrations6996]

One of the MRE community favourites,French RCIR. Great review Nathan 👍

[@gregkerr725]

It seems a lot of the European rations have main entrees that are tinned or in thick aluminum foil type containers. Some of those meals look really well prepared and really tasty. Is there anywhere those individual entrees can be purchased? Any importers? I've not seen them in stores...only frozen junk here in the U.S.

[@D_ROCK_8791]

I got an RCIR and my fruit patte bar was the raspberry one and was my favorite item in the ration

[@orremm]

The French sure know how to eat right.

[@SilvaDreams]

I think the difference with the hot chocolate is it's not a heated chocolate milk as it is a traditional Hot Coco which is generally Coco powder, water and a bit of suger. (I grew up drinking both as my Grandmother made Hot Coco in the mid-west winters)

[@PierreaSweedieCat]

Holy cow! This is almost a meal for 3! I would eat that! And naturally, you enjoy it to the fullest. You and Steve1989MRE, are the experts. (By the way, no need for an apostrophe in Thanks.)

[@klownmittenz8715]

I remember back when you did reviews, not spent half the video pushing more product than Wal-mart during Christmas season.

[@ricklane8554]

Luxurous ration from France! I wonder, does the soldier have time for such a big meal? ;)

[@cartouchator]

it's a ration meant to be nibbled on throughout the day. for example the biscuits are meant to be munched on while walking. It also includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

[@ricklane8554]

Roger :)

[@redneckbig11]

Awesome review Nathan, the French sure know how to do a military ration, look at all that good stuff.

[@bx8garageman]

More fun Nathan thanks for Sharing!!! The jelly candy just stirred up an old memory from my childhood my dear old Mom brought home Chinese jelly candies when I was kid! Thanks again!!!

[@reneeallen3569]

Hey Nate! Great review! If any ration does you in, it would be the one with the squid. 😂

[@christopherbiegel9553]

Do you know of a source for these types of canned mains (just the cans)?

[@kenbirkin7753]

NATHAN whats the best mre ? French, Russia ? I want to hold a Christmas MRE party with Japanese candy box for desert, everybody gets a number and then blind choice of MRE

[@drecksheep]

Biscuits de CAMPAGNE the Best in the Wolrd,sweet and salty.Greetings from Germany!Top Video ;-)

[@HistorySavior1941]

Wow!!! One heck of an ICIR!!! Great review buddy!!!

[@markdriver7911]

we have the same thing as the pork in the can in the uk and its called rigglets exactly the same with a top coating of fat

[@karaschnaus2918]

Flourless Chocolate Cake... if regular chocolate cake and a chocolate truffle had a love child!! So delicious!

[@mallowhoney]

It might be more of a British style pudding, where it's usually more of a cake than what we think of as pudding.

[@kitsdollies2466]

Awesome review nate! just a bit of a french lesson for you, Poisson is pronounced kind of like "pwah-sawn" though more french sounding obviously.

[@jennb6245]

I love your review videos! I am definitely gonna have to try a foreign MRE soon! My home school kids want to try some so bad! They love your videos as well!!

[@michellesovereign4564]

The French components are all good to me except the fish pate (menu 14 I think) and the peach bar..that tastes like wax. Overall good food. Nice review ☺ Edit- I think the curry one is best soup. Fish one only when outdoors and really hungry lol

[@docthebiker]

U're right it is not Chickpeas but Pasta AND Lentils in the salad. Which for authenticities sake you should have tried a mouthful of it cold, before heating it up (philistine). Nearly all the food in the MRE is pretty familiar to the French squaddie. It's all stuff you can get in French (super)markets and pretty good brands too. Maybe not the powdered Iced Tea, but the bottled tea (avec peche) is as popular (if not more popular) than Cola here. I think you'd probably wet yourself with anticipation if you wandered down the canned goods aisle of my local Intermarche. "In between pudding and cake, not bread" Gateau ;p Protip: Check if cans are blown rather then rely on Best Before date. Oh and Hot Musilli? Sacre Bleu, Do you think that is a Scottish MRE that you must cook the oats? How do you think you would portion this out through the day? Tip: In France the main meal is eaten at noon, and lunch break is 2 hours.

[@daphneshupe575]

Oh! It's your favorite Nathan...Zee French MRE! Lol. Thx for another kick ass video! Much love my friend Daphne Bluefield West Virginia USA

[@funkyalfonso]

Soupe de poisson...tomato and vegetable soup? I can't stop laughing. Help.

[@ZombieBitesAgain]

nice french mre review nate good job and i will subscribe to Steve's channel budd 😁

[@KahlestEnoch]

These are awesome rations, would love to try one. But that soup.... the french got the name right poison LOL. I hate fish. I would eat this one all except the fish soup. Thanks for the great review.

[@jdshillbilly1229]

Great video! Excellent review.

[@geneard639]

Every time I see a French RCIR (MRE) ….I just know I joined the wrong damn military. *sigh*

[@KaylynnStrain]

great gift and nice shoutout to his channel!!

[@tracyphillips3325]

Great review Nathan. Excellent 👍

[@Viperbob]

Spoiled by the French food. Decent meal for a change, enjoy. Great review, I’ll getting spoiled by these great reviews.

[@farpointgamingdirect]

I heard you say "worsh" instead of "wash"...are you from PA?

[@cfaye713]

farpointgamingdirect they say it in Wyoming also, drives me up the wall.

[@Maya_arn]

Rillettes (this kind of pâté) is grainy, it’s normal :) And In general the coffee in France is more bitter

[@bluej511]

Rilette is soooo good, its not a pate its almost like pulled pork but different. The fat on top is to keep it preserved, I personally font eat it but its very good. And the peach drink was a peach iced tea lol

[@nicolasbuist141]

tartifellet is crazy good i can recomand u guys enought to try making some at home

[@AKayfabe]

that Pate seems more like a terrine not really a smooth Pate.

[@Snipeyou1]

Magnifique!

[@joeturner1597]

Green tea with mint is Moroccan. They drink it like the Arabs drink coffee. Legion Etrangere nostalgia I would imagine.

[@Your.Uncle.AngMoh]

Again, no dang milk or creamer for the coffee. I'd be packing some commercial creamer like Coffeemate® in my kit, along with a pepper grinder and a couple of bottles of hot sauce. Great review of a fantastic looking meal kit. Re the rillettes au porc. I pinched this from Wikipedia to save me time typing: "Rillettes (/riˈɛt(s)/; French: [ʁijɛt]) are a preparation of meat similar to pâté. Commonly made from pork, the meat is cubed or chopped, salted heavily and cooked slowly in fat until it is tender enough to be easily shredded, and then cooled with enough of the fat to form a paste. They are normally used as spread on bread or toast and served at room temperature." There's usually a fatty layer on top. By way of comparison, with Russian MRE's, it should be closer to the фарш- farsh than the паштет- paté. I'm not a fan of almond nougat. Even freshly made, it still smells a bit weird to me. We have something that usually gets called potato bake, which is just sliced potato and onion with lardons of bacon or bits of ham, cheese and cream in a casserole dish and baked in the oven. That tartiflette looks very similar.

[@user-xp6qi9cu7q]

The pork is totally ok IT IS NOT A PÂTÉ it is "RILLETTES" a traditional meal with mixed shredded pork meat and pork grease. That is why you have some white sometimes and this texture, it is totally normal for rillettes. You are supposed to eat some with baguette bread (paradise).

[@crowdad284]

Everyone’s saying how great the review is but I’m just thinking about how hungry this made me. Also I love pâté.

[@user-xp6qi9cu7q]

Not fruit pâté (it doesnt exist : pâté is only for meat products). Its pâtE (not pâtÉ) so it means "paste" = fruit paste bar.

[@marissagiammanco4552]

Great video as always. love from cape girardeau

[@NathansMRE]

Nice to see some locals in the comments, I live about 20 min from cape

[@scarface822]

100th like ;) nice video man ;)

[@sparkygroover]

It'll expire a day before my next birthday lol.

[@carstenmichel8905]

Nice review of this RCIR Nathan. Had the RCIR with Ostriche stew a while ago. It was awesome. The only thing i didn't like was the peach drink. It tasted not that good as i expected, a little bit strange to me. The bars were the same to your ration. They are great, especially the nougat bar. Yummi.

[@user-xp6qi9cu7q]

The peach drink is not supposed to be well tasty its just supposed to be efficient because it is an ISOTONIC DRINK to hydrate your cells with mineral SALTS. The peach flavor is just a bonus a make it better. The goal of this product is not to be a flavored drink, it's for your physical condition.

[@TheStupidFoodReviewShow]

Poison soup!?

[@PraveenKumar-cj4mu]

Jesus in a Tortilla 😂

[@user-xp6qi9cu7q]

"Poisson" means "fish"

[@mathieubartrolich3338]

French are Best 🤙🏻👍🏻😎

[@toryknotts8026]

Just found a cool MRE website. MRE mountain. It has the caffeinated chocolate stuff

[@jacqueslemiere]

pâté must be some kind of rillette,

[@user-xp6qi9cu7q]

Gâteau au chocolat = chocolate CAKE. So it's NOT a pudding.

[@sjmoorez]

I have tried most of this ration. Really didn't like the pasta salad but I did eat it cold :(

[@5teep]

5 second rule for that bit on the floor!

[@bobjoncas2814]

..more French fine dining.looks yummy..

[@jamesderynck1219]

[@Lazyhiker29]

The pork pate looked like deviled pork spread

[@albundy2580]

Got the knife!

[@NathansMRE]

[@gazbertram5559]

[@RichardStefanits]
