MRE Review: Menu No.4 Pork Sausage Patty, Maple Flavored (2010)

[@halshoppers8177]

Where i live in northeast Pennsylvania in the US, its VERY common to put syrup on sausage. Its the best thing, no matter what flavor the sausage is (elk,beef,deer, or even the spices put into the sausage) we put syrup on it. Its the best and the only way to eat it😊

[@nixxthefox]

SAME

[@tophton7801]

These videos are like a big warm hug to my OCD.

[@Trizerr]

I like how professional you are about this, its a very good change compared to all the over performing people on KZbin these days.

[@DaliwolfBacon]

I put the maple syrup on the muffin top and it was really good. I also put some on the pork and loved it. The pop tart is MUCH better toasted in a toaster. Apple butter is always kind of dark...even the fresh stuff. I live in Wisconsin where we make a LOT of apple butter. The granola was pretty good too. This is my breakfast MRE of choice. Nice video!

[@justinjames4516]

Is it weird that all the different sounds on these videos really satisfy me lol

[@sonyvalencia]

Look up asmr videos.

[@TenRingGaming]

Yay! And I was just lamenting how long it's been since I've seen a new mre review.

[@rockyraab8290]

Your blooper reminds me of one of my own. During a NASA Delta rocket launch, I was doing the live commentary and referred to the strap-ons as solid rocket moster booters. That got quite a laugh from reporters and astronaut Kathryn Sullivan. Priceless.

[@gundog4314]

Hey! "Go Aheads" are my drinking game punchline. Get your own LOL

[@solidsnake2112]

Out in the field I'm sure this is the equivalent of a five star meal.

[@tolik3126]

I'm sure Snake would like it :)

[@solidsnake2112]

Raiden seems to have more of a love of rations, it's better than Rose's cooking. lol.

[@jasonvoorhees6657]

+SolidSnake2948 snake... snake... SNAAAAAAAAAAAAKE

[@zyx362]

The way he's so organized is adorable lol that little tray is so cute

[@MrChimpsushi]

Why the hell is this so fucking interesting? I stumbled on this video and have ended up watching a guy unpack his breakfast, thanks for that it was strangely fascinating and also quite amusing when you said "put the whole thing on a rock or something" and then bam you had a rock, take it easy gents.

[@SanAndreas091]

strangely satisfying to see you eating those MREs. have a nice meal, schultz

[@sonyvalencia]

You might like asmr videos.

[@mememanfajeans4279]

i some reason still find these videos oddly satisfying

[@stabulouskoda834]

I love that you actually use a rock indoors to prop up the frh haha really enjoying your reviews you're knowledgeable and very calm but descriptive as well it's *nice*

[@cookiekill27]

My favorite section of every of your MR section is the Beverage part of I have no idea why haha great video 👍

[@ImWutzPopular]

Glad to see another review up!!

[@Jaybird196]

ImWutzPopular I was going through withdrawals ;) .

[@charliep5991]

Jaybird196 same here

[@daviduuwastaken]

Man, can't stop laughing at the paster toastry blooper.

[@herculezgodofgainz2906]

I'm enjoy eating top ramen when I watch these videos. I feel like I'm munching on an MRE

[@dtaylor10chuckufarle]

You nailed it dude! I always wondered about the table syrup, but you are right. Pretend the maple muffin top is a pancake, so put syrup on it! Genius. Dan

[@mcgreggor]

gschultz great review as always. I love that glass you poured the orange drink into. where did you get it?

[@suRGEangl]

I loved the fail from 15:40-15:50 xD Great vid, keep up the good work!

[@lordwalrus900]

My mouth was watering the whole time I watched this...

[@RJM1011]

For five years old that looked good I would be happy with it good video thank you.

[@mygoodlifeplants]

This was Menu 4's BEST DoP! gschultz, this is like torture watching the BEST mre ever! I look for these every now & again and I can't wait til' I get another 2010 DoP Menu 4.. such an awesome MRE! Thankyou for the awesome video!

[@gschultz9]

Jan Thomas Thank you for watching and commenting Jan! It's amazing how much they tinkered with the Maple Sausage menus for the first few years. It really is a good one!

[@rockyraab8290]

Jan Thomas It is now Menu #17, and in 2014 the sides were the Maple Muffin Top, Cheese Spread, Crackers, and Nuts and Raisins Mix. All else the same. Oddly, they put both of the "breakfast" meals in the B case, and none in the A case of meals. I personally think there should be four breakfasts, two in each case.

[@hiddenrainn]

I need an MRE right now. Because it's 1 am in the morning and I'm hungry!

[@joebryer]

I really liked this review more so that it trow me back a bit down memory lane. This wery menu was my first ever MRE, thnx Gschltz for a nother job well done!

[@s0nnyburnett]

Just looked it up, didn't know the FRH produces hydrogen. Was wondering why they didn't allow it on planes.

[@justmonika2732]

gschultz9 Are the meals usually pre-cooked? Or does the FRH actually cook the things?

[@MrPlusses]

The designer of this meal really had maple flavor running through their head. It should have come with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Maple flavored toothpaste of course.

[@Jaybird196]

MrPlusses Too much maple -_- . I'd hate receiving this MRE, as I don't like maple-flavored ANYTHING. 'Still beats the veggie omelet, though.

[@Fiends4]

Another great review. Looking forward to your next!

[@chadmorgan7976]

Hi - love your vids and reviews/comments on MREs. Question - why do you consistently mix sugar and creamer with the (oh so good, needed, desired and expected) coffee? Why not try some coffee "by itself"? I submit that many people, most perhaps, have coffee without the accessory packs, at least regular enough to question reviews with sugar/creamer used constantly...I admit its an acquired taste.

[@9KOMMIT9]

Where do you get mres? I've been wanting to try some but I can't find them anywhere.

[@lincoln668]

anybody else extremely hungry for sausage now LOL

[@stevieruhle5347]

This one is my strait up FAVORITE!!! the maple sausage patty is so savory

[@Melinda_LL]

I happen to love paster toaseries.....lol :) That made me giggle.

[@samidellaidella532]

Am I the only one who is thinking that this whole meal is just empty calories? Once the sugar high wears off, I imagine the soldier would be ready to eat his or her boots. I know most are carb heavy, but this just looks exceptionally so.

[@truthfilter]

Samidella idella that's what i'm wondering would you actually feel full and satisfied ?

[@CPTAwesome9000]

Coming from my experiences with MREs and having to eat them as my only option, as long as you don't eat the whole thing and you pick wisely (no vegetarian.... God no vegetarian) then these do the job pretty well tbh. My favorite is the meatball and marinara and I end up destroying a toilet afterwords but what do you expect. These aren't that bad.

[@Andy-im3kj]

They're certainly not empty calories, as they are manufactured to have a surplus of caloric value, whereas to provide the necessary caloric energy required for the amount of work done in the field. And I can tell you doing what you do as a military servicemember, especially infantrymen, you bust your ass doing your job, and MREs definitely provide essential fuel for your day.

[@samidellaidella532]

Andy Flores i believe you misunderstood. What I was referring to is this particular MRE derives its calories mostly from sugar. In my opinion, this particular MRE is a poor excuse for a meal. Hence the "empty calories" from sugar. Empty calorie taking on the usual meaning, ie sugary junk food. Sugar might give you an initial rush of energy, but the sugar high is also inevitably met with a lethargy later on. Not particularly advantageous to a soldier in the field that might not get another timely meal until much later on in the day. If your opinion is that this is a "good" breakfast for our troops, so be it. I will disagree, the US gov. can provide a better breakfast option that this particular meal that is hearty and not sugar laden and filled with empty calories.

[@chadmorgan7976]

They could keep all the accessories and substitute the patties with Haggis...that would be awesome...any reviews on "exotic" instant or pre-packed foods forthcoming (hint hint)?

[@ThunderPaladin]

YAY A NEW REVIEW!

[@Dwights_trash_can]

" never had a flamless ration heater scream when I put pressure on it....I guess I'll put it out of it's misery " lmao!!!!😂😂😂 i may have laughed far to hard at that !

[@Jaybird196]

GSchultz, you mentioned a beverage base, type 3. How many are there, to your knowledge?

[@gschultz9]

Jaybird196 You know, that's one thing that I'm not really familiar with. Will have to do a little research and read up on the types (they do that with the instant coffee too sometimes).

[@Jaybird196]

gschultz9 Well, if ya' do, I hope you'll make a vid about it. Others might curious, as well :) .

[@robertleckie9697]

+gschultz9 is it still good

[@smartuy1]

How do you tell if it's 2010 or 2000 on the date stamp?

[@miamihotline5781]

You seem like youre in a good mood today!

[@chadmorgan7976]

Final comment - I agree with your assessment of the syrup - not something field suitable and a bit much for the overall flavor spectrum of the MRE. Doesn't really need it, as you state, alhto surely a welcome item for sweet tooths. You are a good reviewer - thanks for your posted vids. Highly enjoyable and educational. You have a good process, I think.

[@joey_bookworm6169]

A question. Does Asia Countries like Singapore, Malaysia and Japan have any MRE?

[@厭世野孩子]

Japan have

[@shortcaaake]

Paster Toastries: Now in brown sugar.

[@coleyokoyama8919]

GSchultz did you serve in the military?

[@thedancingangel7274]

This actually looks REALLY good!!

[@ReclusiveMountainMan]

The syrup goes on the maple muffin top. YUM! Tastes like a pancake dipped in maple syrup.

[@pavneetsidhu9455]

Finally, a new video!

[@TheDancingPrancerette16]

Is the apple butter supposed to be that brown?

[@Cr125stin]

I liked this meal. The 2012 one is ok but the apple butter was great.

[@MultiMagnum62]

Needs more savory than sweet, you have No control., We get dealt our cards in life, we Adjust hands well deal with, GREAT RVEIEW !! Keep up great work !!

[@Kanekals]

well I've never had a ration heater scream at me before

[@nonexistent7974]

The table syrup is used as energy like all the food, because your constantly moving in combat so your using all the energy you have

[@ColdCoorsBanquet]

This is my favorite menu.

[@RK_Real]

where do you buy these mres

[@andreasnyh5740]

search online;)

[@MEGACAMZ]

+RookieHplays Ebay.

[@BroImMcLovin]

+RookieHplays There's a camping store near me, You can buy them individually or by the case.

[@case9903]

+BroImMcLovin what is the name of the store?

[@BroImMcLovin]

+Eli ALexander Einsteins

[@Linda7647]

Love the tray. Need to get me one of those. But yeah, way too much sweet stuff with this meal. If you're out in the field and need an energy boost, this'll do it. LOL.

[@brenyngrubic2853]

Yay matches are actually in this one ☺

[@jamesconnor2996]

Great vid I love watching these!!!! Keep it u!!!!!💩👍🏿

[@captainobvious9233]

I remember getting first these in Basic Training (The older ones in dark brown packaging. They didn't have the heaters) and I thought they were the best things ever. However, I quickly grew sick of them. Have you ever tried the old hot dog MRE? (AKA Five Fingers of Death)

[@gschultz9]

Captain Obvious I had the same experience. The old brown bags (including the dreaded four fingers of death and chicken a la s**t...) seem awful now, but when they were new and your only alternative to starving or eating bugs and bark, they were pretty darn good. And they've only improved over the years!

[@spyredrum3447]

could you tell me how to get the mres

[@elizabethshaw734]

much of the world and I'd venture to guess that it's close to 80% does not eat a sweet breakfast, not as a regular thing anyway. the choices range from soups and rice porridge and the other endless savory possibilities for breakfast.

[@joshpaquin4841]

We're do you get your mres

[@itsaturtle1689]

Have you been in the military since you know how to do all this stuff

[@americangooeyduck5743]

I know this is from 2015 but that’s surprises me I didn’t think tasters choice has existed since like 1995 LOL

[@fuerte2014]

Did you ever serve in the military? Keep up the good vids man

[@gschultz9]

Juan Fuerte Yes I did. I will do my best!

[@jennjeffs4893]

That's a lot of sweets! I think they should include a bread... like the bridgeford breads they use but make it a Biscuit type to make a breakfast sandwich...

[@gschultz9]

You know, a biscuit would go GREAT with this! They did make a biscuit for a few years, but only included it with the Pork Sausage in Cream Gravy (and only for one year) and the Beef Brisket. For some unknown reason they discontinued the biscuit quite a few years back. Maybe there was some good reason (they didn't age as well as other bread products? they were prone to crumbling?), but I would really like to see them back in MREs again.

[@lloydhembury925]

The best part about MRE's is you can mix and match with your war buddies!

[@elizabethshaw734]

I would think that this breakfast would turn you into a coffee drinker! :-) lol

[@DragoChronicSmoker42]

when it kept showing close ups of the food i laughed so hard

[@k21schmi]

This was my least favorite meal to get when I would go out to the field

[@sedrose8298]

What is the most expired MRE you have gotten

[@xboxfin3st869]

Haha I died when I heard I've never had a flame less ration heater scream when I pressed down on it before haha so funny

[@koreanpopoe8019]

where did he get this

[@heardthatalreadyb4853]

Prob one of my favs! Looks so yummy . I bet close to mcd's huh? Or better lol

[@noahperez400]

The hell, I had this during beast week in BMT and it never had any of this.

[@Wnova-st5bj]

More vids ?

[@billymorris2425]

over the time u have had pack that has all the small thing how many toilet papers and matches u have collected

[@METALMAN4Wii]

If it's Canadian the maple syrup is for drinking 😆.

[@kaboombunni8242]

Oh I've had one of those they are so good

[@sultansofswingers]

I'm still in the womb I'm so early

[@Hehhehha]

Yes! I love the pork sausage patty!

[@9KOMMIT9]

Great video! Keep it up!

[@odinactuall]

haha the orange juice powder me and my buddies use to hold on to them then eat them like pixie sticks later

[@wattmanforever]

finally a new videeeeeeeoooœ

[@karakaiser8887]

"Commercial sale is unlawful"

[@jackkemp7439]

Do you know how much toilet paper is in one of those little things?

[@izzykim4056]

YO M8 ISNT APPLE BUTTER SUPPOSED TO BE WHITE OR SOMETHING idk as long as you didnt get too sick after imig its okay

[@MichaelRoma91]

Man I can go for a paster toastery right now..

[@MichaelRoma91]

All jokes aside, idk how I stumbled upon the weird world of mre review videos, but I do enjoy them for some reason. I appreciate the effort of displaying professionalism and passion in such a specific topic. What I'm trying to say is do what you love I guess haha

[@ogbobbye]

you said you didn't understand the need of the syrup you need to look at these mre as fuel not food. the reason they would put the syrup in a meal that is to taste already sweet is the added calories giving you more energy. Taste and appearance is less important than the main goal of the MRE which is of course to keep a soldier going in combat. You do very good reviews but keep in mind the real reason for all the the stuff in a MRE is to put fuel into the body.

[@yummaliciouswater]

you put the syrup on the pork patty :P

[@gschultz9]

+yummaliciouswater The only reason that doesn't seem like an obvious thing is because the sausage patty is ALREADY quite sweet with the maple flavoring!

[@kassemz3567]

Hate how sweet and unnutriocous are mre's are compared to other countries. Cant wait till boot camp though. These MREs im seeing can wait for sure though.....

[@ajackson4980]

October 27 is my birthday!!!

[@limbobopyonose]

this vid made me hungry!!! i have an mre never ate it tho!!!

[@gabrieljennier5534]

i had a pork sausage patty same as u menu 4 but not the same thing inside its a bummer but i have a bunch more in my closet

[@gschultz9]

They do change them slightly from year to year. Maybe yours was from a different year?

[@gabrieljennier5534]

gschultz9 yeah most likely

[@Frostedfk]

Don't know why people always hated this one I liked it. Add syrup to the patty

[@gschultz9]

I think the overabundance of sweetness in this one turns a lot of people off. I actually have a bit of a sweet tooth myself, so I have no complaints about it!

[@pineytheelder3898]

I had one of these it was delicious

[@The_Conspiracy_Analyst]

US government property, the warning says to you, eat the sausage patty, because you are too!

[@vaporwave2345]

I LOVE PASTER TOASTERIES!

[@wooduu]

I don't like this one due to that fact to being so messy with the syrup sometimes exploding.

[@gschultz9]

wooduu Yeah, like I mentioned in the video there could be some use for the syrup, but I just found it unnecessary. It's like they just threw it in because it was a "breakfast-y" thing to do. And it really does seem like a bad thing to have when you're in the field. It's pretty thin, so it runs all over the place and makes anything in its way sticky.
