MRE Review: Italy ~Razione Viveri Speciale da Combattimento~

[@thearmyantnation7246]

Italy is one of the best cultures. Go Italians!

[@gundog4314]

The Armyantnation Love the culture! The traffic...we'll not get into that LOL

[@Modelero]

gundog4314 i'm into that eveyday lol the thing on the chocolate was sugar, it get exposed with humidity :D

[@Lallaa05]

Oh yeahh im proud to be italian!

[@thearmyantnation7246]

+Lallaa me to.

[@KLEEVAGE]

Lallaa that's nothing to be proud of!!

[@SpaceLizard1]

Nice video, but you might want to know that those Amuchina tablets are not really water purification tablets, they're a disinfectant, turns water into it and then you can clean items, fruit and vegetables with it in order to remove the bacteria. It is however possible to be used as water purification tablets, but only in an "emergency situation" as written on the instructions, one tablet in 15 liters of water (not 1.5L), as it is noxious if ingested. Still have to admit those Wurstel look very tasty!

[@luisparga5707]

SpaceLizard1

[@Buio0209]

The rise salad, in Italy, is eaten cold. It's a typical summer food!

[@kilokal5978]

Rice* oh ok good

[@Ween745]

This is the first time I've seen a toothbrush included in an MRE. The US should take note, it's a good idea.

[@carlosflar]

the spanish breackfast rations include a toothbrushm it comes in the breackfast and is suposed to last you for the day, its encapsulated and you get a portion of toothpaste with every meal

[@lazzaleppi5285]

I love when he puts 8 ounces of water with that tiny packet of coffee lol. They are Italian rations, not folger's crystals

[@xneapolisx]

😂😂😂

[@michaeld8975]

If we could get this menu in our ration line up. It would definitely make it into the Top 10. Hats off to the Italian Ministry of Defense. Thanks Gundog for bringing this to youtube!

[@gundog4314]

Mooky Mann Rations like this are very comprehensive and seem to have tons of stuff. Kind of why I really like the simplicity of Japanese rations too. Both have their merits. Cheers

[@johnlennon2752]

A differenza di altri paesi.... Mangiano come signori anche i nostri soldati... Nice Video Dude :D

[@indyracingnut]

When do these Italians have time to fight with all this food to eat? Easily one of the heartiest MRE's I've ever seen.....

[@petrusx7169]

Militars usually eat many things, because they have to save energies and gain them if they're tired, so the meal offers many things, so you'll never be tired. In Italy we don't eat that much, or we would explode

[@Amsayy]

Omg Italy. 😍 that condensed milk should be in every mre ever

[@carlosflar]

you get similar ammounts in spanish ICR and some polish rations too

[@gennarodimartino9740]

Aha you right we include a tons of milk but vitamin milk to be a stronger and energetic person

[@superandreanintendo]

A lot of stuff in the breakfast you may think it's unuseful are put there because will be used all the day. Chocolate and gelatine usually are put in the military vest's pocket when needed during the day.

[@superandreanintendo]

The energy bar is in the dinner package beacuse is there for late operations, like the chocolate in the breakfast package.

[@Italia311]

Ragù is sauce with ground beef and the other was basically hot dogs. Insalata di Riso with turkey in a can...you can add it to the rice salad

[@s1mo]

Dove sono le lasagne? E la pasta al forno? E i 2kg di focaccia?

[@swagmaster6922]

Ma sopratutto, dov'è il mini mandolino portatile?

[@leonardodibella953]

+Fadebola Ahahahahahah

[@s1mo]

+Steven Gutierrez Yes, I was just wondering about 2-3 kg of food missing :)

[@XNerinoX]

per una volta che uno vuole essere ironico :)

[@s1mo]

:)

[@YuNOmeme]

your supposed to drain the rice salad before eating. using the lid to make sure you only pour out the water

[@BDOT911]

of course the Italy ration is incredibly massive lol

[@vincenzoluongo00]

BDOT911 le tagliatelle della nonna pi.....ok la smetto

[@gennarodimartino9740]

And you junk food we are massive but in America is junkkk burger chips chicken legs and others we eat vitamin food..... L'ho spento!!!!!

[@thecrazydestructoniz]

that coffee it's for an espresso ç_ç

[@moony998]

SicilianScoundrel vaglielo a far capire

[@Gracieisawsome]

I love sweetened condensed milk in coffee! It's so sweet and yummy. Plus, you don't have to add extra sugar.

[@hansedavion2844]

One of the only countries that still issue tins of food that’s hearty and filling !

[@claverhouse1]

The chocolate isn't "oxidised", it's just the fat content coming to the surface. It happens to all chocolate after a little while and is harmless.

[@kinskins100]

+claverhouse1 It can be because of oxidation that that happens. It's called blooming. Its mainly caused by heat though.

[@andreanaples07]

nice video :) just two things : in Italy we eat rice salad cold Southern Italy (expecially Naples) peoples drink coffe very tight, with just a bit water, almost half of a little cup

[@luisparga7830]

andx479

[@AnTran147]

I kinda want this MRE. Not just so I can try out MREs, but also for that cool little stove.

[@AOTD3025]

An Tran That style of stove is actually not that uncommon a design; I've seen several variations of it over the years in various outdoors-related/ camping gear catalogs. Here's one that turned up on Amazon, for example: www.amazon.com/Esbit-Ultralight-Folding-Pocket-Tablets/dp/B001C1UGVO/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1437019814&sr=1-1&keywords=portable+stove+with+fuel+tablets As of this writing, if you scroll down to the bottom and flip through the "Customers also bought" section, you should see two other variants.

[@AnTran147]

Jerry Hong Ah okay, thank you very much!

[@contingencypreps9065]

In the 80's the Italians also had an airplane bottle of whiskey, and a small bottle of red wine....

[@Jaybird196]

Contingency Preps Sometimes, I miss the 80's :) .

[@contingencypreps9065]

Yep! Me too!

[@liamm.777]

+Jaybird196 savage

[@Jaybird196]

Cheesy Nachos Huh?

[@stewarthayden]

+Contingency Preps WOW!!! WHAT AN ARMY!!!!!!!!! AMAZED!!!!

[@domonthecobb]

Good review, mate! So far I've really liked what I've seen from the Italian, French, and German rations which figures because I quite love the cuisine found in each of the respective countries.

[@jakesnake7728]

Italy gets it nobody wants to fight when they're hungry.

[@johnsanders186]

Nice vid gundog. i have a top tip for cooking in a can if ya wanna try it. Take any wrapping off, bash the side in to make a big dent. When the steam inside begins to push it out, with a cloth give it a shake (to stir) & back over the heat, then agan half way thru. Then when the dents not quite fully out (so the contents doesnt spray out) crack the top, rest a couple of mins then open fully. I've found (usually) it pours out better & hasnt caught as much where direct heat has constantly been. :D

[@neilarmstrong4099]

Absolutely hands down the best ration I have seen yet. I would defect right now if they would have me.

[@1150Mikes]

In the old British army rations when they used tins instead of boil in bag they pierced the tin and sat it in a mess tin with water a lot of soldiers didn't open the tin and they exploded

[@Jaybird196]

Mike Clas That would be an embarrassing way to get sent home from war ;) .

[@daveclarke4609]

Ten man tea bag...! Sounds really wrong

[@hansedavion2844]

Artic ration packs they where the bees knees and ten man rat packs hit the spot with salmon and tins of sweets, now days it’s crap boil in the bag or add water only thing I use water for was brew and with tubes of condensed milk even better, Italian rat packs go some way today of keeping old foods which you eat on daily basis oh the alcoholic cordial was there nip after dinner in evening.

[@kristymcjennett2703]

I believe the little gelatin is called a Turkish delight

[@coltenmeyer2775]

No turkish delight is more dense and is covered in confectioners(powdered) sugar but kinda the same concept but if your familar with gum drops like we have in america its just a gum drop in bar form lol

[@jiblyjably]

+Colten Meyer It's actually just a fruit bar. Kind of like a dumdrop but different.

[@ParrotEater]

+Kristy Mcjennett Its not turkish delight

[@ParrotEater]

There are many diferent turkish delights, like with diferent flavours, but they are always covered in powdered sugar yes

[@coltenmeyer2775]

Usaully true turkish delight is made with rose water which isnt everybodys cupnof tea but yeah i like the one with pistachios

[@griffgoldstein6378]

What a hearty Ration! These and the French rations put our MREs to shame!

[@Daxored]

+Jacob Conrad i Heard that americans exchange 1 of our italians ration for 5/2 for an american one

[@gundog4314]

@ Breydon Casey I never said I never screw up names of things, watch more of my stuff and you'll see that LOL! As far as my travels its more for the history than the food. Cheers

[@HavanaSyndrome69]

+gundog4314 When you put down the tort with ragu and then looked at the package and it said tort and meat sauce and you said, "It doesn't say what it is" or something like that I yelled at my computer that you were just holding it in your hands a second ago! Ragu is meat sauce! Keep it up. I liked this episode especially.

[@RB-gv5os]

Hey Please I trained with Italian Soliders,before how can I get my hands on one of these please ? I loved them when I was there they had more than we did as you have shown also I could not find the WWII Rations as you shown . ? can you also help me there as well but most of all the Italian meals,thanks so much .

[@Caseyedwards-Turbojackelope]

+gundog4314 :O

[@gundog4314]

+ROD B The Italian ones are rare. I only found one on my own and with the shipping it was nearly 200 bucks. Needless to say I didn't buy it. The world war 2 stuff is on reprorations.com the k ration ones www.angelfire.com/nc/stug/

[@demoniack81]

Shipping to and from the US costs a fortune. I was trying to get an MRE case shipped down here and the shipping alone was over 100$!

[@bcgrote]

LOL, I had to go make coffee, it looked so good! I wonder if they will ever start putting the small silicone finger mitts in the packs? Any time you have a can, it's gonna be trouble! Did the sweet biscuits taste like Nilla Wafers? They reminded me of them. What a nice meal pack! Tasty, filling, and you can always snack on the many biscottos.

[@gundog4314]

bcgrote Oddly enough the sweet biscuits didn't really have a sweet taste, just a sweet smell

[@elizabethshaw734]

you drain the liquid from the rice salad and it is served cold or room temperature it is not a hot or warm dish. I would be very surprised if it said to heat it as I lived in Italy for some time and we never ate that sort of thing heated.

[@lagubaratterbaru6205]

Hi Gundog, this is the first of your videos for me :) I had a tip I wanted to share, but first say that it was kiwi who mentioned you and got me here, so I grinned when I heard you name him. Tip: Cooking fuel tablets actually work better if you take one and break it up a bit and place the pieces close to each other but not necessarily touching. Think of a Swedish log torch/stove and you get the idea. Be good!

[@gundog4314]

+Savage Insight Very good tip! Cheers

[@bootleheadianminecraft8865]

gundog4314 well I don't like coffee so I be screwed right there I like hot tea

[@Elizabeth-nt7uq]

I really enjoy watching you do these kits. They remind me of huge versions on Japanese Pippin. Ookin. Kits! It must be fun to put them together. You are a joy to watch as well 🌞

[@Jaybird196]

Damn, Gundog! You actually startled me a bit with that exuberant "Buongiorno!" you threw out there O_O .

[@gundog4314]

Jaybird196 Well at least no screaming buzzer alert this time LOL

[@Paches92-]

I shouldn't be surprised the italian and french MREs look the tastiest!

[@candidethirtythree4324]

I am extremely interested in how foods are preserved throughout history and across different countries so these videos are great for assuaging my curiosity. Thanks for doing this because I would never have seen these things on my own.

[@taspick]

the lab

[@Synrgiii]

Candide Thirtythree lol i love how there is no connotation that i am pushing conservatism...thats classic polarized political idealism...if there not for us their against us...also deflecting, never said anything about education.

[@jennmac85]

The chocolate bar has bloomed, it happens when the chocolate gets warm and the fat starts to separate from the cocoa. Still perfectly fine to eat it has just come out of temper.

[@gundog4314]

Yep, I am about to do a vid on the "Bloom" soon in fact. Cheers Jenn!

[@ZombieSC]

So would the Ristora make the turkey or the sausages taste better? J/K. ;) Thanks everything looked delicious.

[@MsPhantom951]

That is the sleekest ration pack I've seen yet. Got to give it to Italy for aesthetics.

[@imtilde]

pretty sure you're supposed to drain the rice salad beforehand, that liquid is not a sauce but it's just there for the heating imo

[@GreenAppelPie]

That would make sense I was thinking it was a bit watery.

[@buster0505]

You're suppose to close the cooking range with the fuel underneath the hole, then set the can on top

[@catherinesinha6504]

Might be nice to melt the condensed milk and chocolate together to make a warm choc spread for the crackers

[@Sparrow9612]

Oh, no fair. Canned tortellini isn't sold at the stores I shop at anymore. I've made the boxed kind, but its just not the same.

[@SirToby1076]

Wow, that's the most complex combat ration kit I have ever seen :) And that's a german speaking, you maybe all know that we love complex things :p

[@901help2]

came here from one of kiwis videos, gotta say you both do really entertaining MRE videos, haha makes me want to order some. Keep up the videos!

[@alicetwain]

The dinner was supposed to be a cold one, both the rice salad and the turkey are supposed to be eaten cold.

[@chicadee6167]

Coffee, sweetened condensed milk plus dark chocolate bar. Could be yummy!

[@kinluc06]

The Italian ration looks very good. Nice to have breakfast,lunch and dinner all in one pack.

[@kidkingpin]

kinluc06 ubet üver shtainei in püverst!

[@MultiMagnum62]

I actually got first view for once, LOL ! Was waiting on Kiwi Dudes update before bed, yours came up first. Almost noon, in Ky., I have to go in at 9:00 p.m. tonight, guess yours got watched, and Kiwi's will be for when I get off work tomorrow A.M. Night, great review, Peace, Magnum, John !!

[@bigGisnumber1]

But it's like 11:40 in the morning

[@MrLins-wv3tg]

Giuseppe Spada tanta stima

[@SlavicCelery]

Just so you know, whenever chocolate looks like that, it's not because the chocolate has gone bad. When chocolate gets down to freezing and then warms up again, some sugars crystallize on the surface of the chocolate. I found out about that when I had a job filling vending machines. People would claim the chocolate went bad if we let it sit too long in the van during the winter time. So it's just indicative that the ration went through some heating and cooling cycles.

[@gundog4314]

+Timothy Soen Best explanation I've heard to date and I've had chemists comment on the same topic. Cheers

[@Dios67]

+gundog4314 Looked like it had a hair stuck to it too, lol.

[@GreatSageSunWukong]

I just started watching your vids yesterday after it popped up in my feed, I have never eaten ration packs but for some reason I love seeing what ration/survival food people get around the world. Anyway I just wanted to ask out of all the ones you've tried which countries do you think is the best and which the worst?

[@PaulBuikema]

Well done Dog, tins of foodie challenge, you make it look great as usual. See you on the next one.

[@carlogigli2606]

when i was in the italian navy, we used to mix the condensed milk with the little botles (3) of brandy that came with the pakage

[@samuelvargas2239]

es la primera ración de combate de todos lo menús que he visto que en realidad se ve rica ...desde el desayuno hasta la cena

[@tardiscommand1812]

Now that’s a proper MRE! I could imagine the Italian songs that would be sung during a scoff

[@mat2941]

Dude you were supposed to drain that rice salad lol, anyway awesome video!

[@bitsnpieces11]

+matteo castellani I think it's actually soup. Shake to mix it up, heat up and eat. Turkey/veg/rice with olive soup.

[@TheXVenus]

+bitsnpieces11 no it's not.. it's supposed to be drained.. i'm italian,we eat rice salad every summer and it's better to eat it cold😂

[@Linoxis]

Thanks for the compliments gundog

[@qtube1208]

I like how for dinner he pours the large can full of liquid into the smaller sections of the tray and saved the large section for the small can of meat. I know its probably a Choch move saying something, but I can't be the only one who noticed!

[@AdmiralPreparedness]

I wonder how much of that menu is thrown away. Or, shared. I'd need a nap after eating each meal of the day.The tooth picks are an add on to my SHTF stash. Dented cans worry me a bit. The Ristora Tube interest me very much. Cheers.

[@BC-bt7hu]

That's why there's a bag off coffee in each meal 😉

[@brenyngrubic2853]

Never knew you went to italy I have family in venice they own a reastaurant. Cool stuff I always enjoy the three of your guys videos

[@gundog4314]

brenyn sanches I love the place and can't wait till I go back. In fact I think a whole European holiday may be in order. Cheers

[@Mnemotron2010]

gundog4314 your "buongiorno" was very funny!.Greetings fron Italy!

[@bigtrajik1]

One hell of an outstanding video. Keep them coming!

[@SteveInScotland]

We have "meats" in jelly here in the UK but we never hear them, most people don't eat the jelly, some do though.

[@Kholdstare0503]

Have you tried the chlorine tablets before to see a difference?

[@Bill23799]

Hey gundog I am envious of you. My grandfather came to America at turn of last century from small town in southern Italy called Piso. It is a coastal town in the " Toe " of Italy in Calabria. I traveled to many countries when I was stationed in West Germany in 70s and 80s but i never got chance to go to Italy. Your Army unit must have been selected to field test that Top secret new piece of equipment the US Army came up with then. The EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle. As i recall it went through it's field trials initially in Italy. I would gladly trade my 80s era MCI meal for this Iutalian MRE, it looks awesome. thanks

[@gundog4314]

Bill23799 I was pretty lucky when stationed over there. I was on a Bundeswehr Heer Kaserne and we got free train tickets within the FRG. We drove to Venice for a long 4 day weekend. Was great till I got majorly sunburned on Ledo!

[@Bill23799]

wow i bet that was great. We had a German Kserne down the road from River's Barracks in Giessen where i was. On organization day we would invite our comrades ( Rads ) from down the road to join us. They absolutely kicked our butts in soccer ( futbol ) haha . Of course we beat them handily in Basketball. volleyball was up for grabs. Neat thing was Bundeswehr unit also setup a army field kitchen for the event. Best kartoffle suppe i ever had.

[@smarkl54bbin]

Gundog where did you get the Italian ration? I am interested in buying one for myself & trying it. Thanks for the review.

[@gundog4314]

Mark Vehar I got this one for a trade. I only have found them on ebay for sale but the shipping is off charts crazy of around 80 to 100 bucks.

[@B7575H]

Mark Vehar i found one on ebay that is cheap i just ordered 3 packs

[@B7575H]

gundog4314 can you not make a review of some danish 24.hour rations i have a lot of them myself and there are many menu choiches

[@gundog4314]

I've never been able to get one as of yet but it would be awesome to try!

[@B7575H]

gundog4314 you can have one of mine

[@Jaybird196]

I wonder if the gum-drop-esque bar is anything similar to the "jelly bar" found in some aircrew emergency rations circa the Cold War?

[@PartyChicken407]

Wow... I'm actually glad I got to see this : makes me feel better about the Canadian IMP's we get. Most of the time we are in the field they give us Flameless Ration Heaters bags too so in reality it is fast and easy to get the package open, get eating, and toss away the garbage instead of having to transfer foods out of cans.

[@kickinbackinOC]

Bran tablets? CAN OF MIXED FRUIT? Sopako, Ameriqual, et al, ARE YOU LISTENING?

[@katokhaelan4881]

Great video like always. Thanks Gundog!

[@Typhonis007]

So Gundog. French or Italian rations. Which is better In your humble opinion?

[@Diebulfrog79]

It's more like a up-dated B1 ration than a true M.R.E. Miss the booze ration and dextros tablets. Most E.U stuff and local stuff mix in. Like I say it depends on the military budget. Good video.

[@paulconnors2078]

What type of videocam do you use to make your videos? The quality is very good.

[@CP140405]

Your "Go Ahead" count was way down on this video! Yeah, gotta love Italy. We loved Rome and spent a week just walking the "streets" of Venice. Thanks for the review. It's always interesting to see how other countries feed their troops.

[@gundog4314]

CP140405 Thanks! I absolutely loved Rome minus the traffic. The pace of life, the food, the history and of course the wine!

[@alk7934]

I was screaming "Put some Ristora in that coffee!" throughout the entire video! Other than that... Good show!

[@gundog4314]

LOL! I literally did ZERO prep for this review. I opened the box put it on the desk and started rolling....at least I learned a lot from the comments that my 2nd review of one of these was a lot more put together HAHA! Cheers Albert

[@bryanp9504]

@gundog4314 do you finish eating the rations after the video or do you toss what's left?

[@DimerNL]

Informative and entertaining video as usual.

[@secondhandguru3558]

Thank you for your service gundog!

[@TheMarioBrothers]

I hope you did this video long time ago, because on the pack there is written "best before 06/09/2014"

[@viandantesolitario8282]

E la pizza? Voglio il mio pranzo stereotipo

[@frenchhammock5019]

Great, but I think the rice salad liquid is drained solely because of how salty/olive...y it makes the meal. Super interesting stuff, great to see the MREs from various nations and have a little look into the food of the army

[@rockyraab8290]

LOL! Leave it to gundog to put the big can of food into the small tray hole, and vice versa! (Had to throw a tidbit of Latin in there for an Italian ration...)

[@EBOOKER83]

I love these all day rations....makes for a really interesting video! Great job! Im goign thru and re watching some older videos!

[@gundog4314]

Be kind HAHA! Some are pretty darn rough not to mention long. But you'll definitely notice a huge change from then to now!

[@Typhonis007]

Sounds like the ration could use something to handle the cans when they are hot. Would the French thing work or something else?

[@guidosantoni6004]

Whould you like to know another intresting thing about that MRE? If you check the fuel tablets you'll find out that they are made of hexammine. Hexammine can be nitrated in order to obtain RDX which is a powerful explosive.

[@gundog4314]

+Guido Santoni Yep, all kinds of things and ways to make you day from good to bad. Don't try this at home kids. Cheers

[@Ayo1212]

Could watch these videos for days

[@kathiel3293]

I LOVE WATCHING THESE VIDEOS !

[@mistbooster]

Melt a little bit of the chocolate(half a bar) in the coffee, dont add sugar, but add about 2 teaspoons of the condensate. U will love it!

[@gundog4314]

Yeah, that was a tip after the fact of the review. If I ever get another one of these I'll make sure I scour these comments for tips, translations and the like. Cheers!

[@bigkenny66]

Although it appears to be tasty in this iteration, I am glad that we weren't the only ones to have a Dog and Vulture loaf (the turkey) in our MREs. At least we had the good sense to rotate that one out of the menu selection.

[@StellariumSound]

At all possible to divulge the title of the introduction song? I notice that you have a habit of putting in audio in your videos and not providing a name or a link to it.

[@gundog4314]

StellariumSound Most of the songs I use are right in the KZbin audio library under the "Create" icon in the creator studio. I tried using mainstream sound bytes but kept getting flagged for third party content so I just use the free stuff. Cheers

[@doraran2138]

You and Steve have become one of my surf destinations. I wonder during NATO maneuvers how many Italian MREs get swapped. Those Italian MREs look exceptional.

[@guidosantoni6004]

you shoud try to mix coffe, condensed milk, sweet biscuits and chocolate for obtain a "field tiramisù"

[@gundog4314]

+Guido Santoni that would have been fun to try. that is one reason I always try to get info and tips from people that actually used the stuff in the field. Cheers

[@guidosantoni6004]

you are welcome. if you want to try again italian MRE i suggest you to find the module with the small bottle of cordial. anyway, here's the recipe: 1. Make some coffe. No need to add sugar but if you have cordial add it; 2. Soak the "biscotto dolce" inside the coffee and put them in a container (a mess tin will do the trick) making a layer; 3. Cover the cookye layer with condensed milk. At this point you may add chocolate chips if you want; 4. Do the points 2 and 3 as long as you want or at least as long you run out of ingredients; 5. Let the thing stay for some time in a cool place; 6. Enjoy it! Another trick that i used to love is to cook the meat inside the sauce left from the 1st course.

[@thomasjones5383]

Thanks for the video. Again, I love this stove, even better than the Russian one. Very hearty meals.

[@EQINOX187]

great video but regarding the chocolate the white is not oxidisation it happens due to heat cycles for example it warms up but not hot enough to melt and cools down and the more this happens the quicker it goes white

[@nostrodelaantares8416]

true.

[@sarahmarie9396]

Big thumbs up from here in Rome! Insalata di Riso is usually eaten during the summer and is a cold dish :P but im sure it was just as delicious warm. Complimenti e un grande saluto!

[@gundog4314]

Sarah Hammond Cheers Sarah!

[@lenswork4]

Anyone know where one could buy the tinned food in the Italian, French, or German MRE’s? That is, to buy just the mains that are in the small tins or foil trays. Thanks.

[@twistedshrimp8239]

So... You've been to Italy multiple times but you get ravioli and tortellini mixed up?

[@demoniack81]

*he heats up the rice salad* Oh, and by the way the wurstels really do not go with the tortellini, lol Had a few good chuckles here and there. Nice vid.

[@gundog4314]

Yeah, if I had it to do over again. The guy I got it was German, great guy but neither of us had a clue of what went with what or how. Perhaps next time if I get another. Cheers

[@thx-wp2yp]

wow the italians have some good rations

[@pg123ab]

Hello, I remember the Cordial Brandy they gave us and it was great, as well as the chocolate who was really good grade. Ration K was horrible....We ate it once and it was one step before food poisoning...
