New Zealand Operation Ration Pack -- tasting a Kiwi MRE

[@crazymonkeygurl0077]

I really like how you aren't over reacting. like you never spit something out. you just say something like "that's not very good". Not like some other people who would freak and spit it out. I feel like I'm getting an honest reveiw

[@ksierra4444]

This is so old but have you seen her do the pacqui (?) Chip challenge? It's amazing.

[@ameliawilder28]

You should watch Steve1989MREInfo. He eats military rations that date back to world war one. He even ate beef from I believe 1899. And he said it tasted good

[@jhod555]

She is FAR too gracious to be ridiculous like that, and I really appreciate it as much as you do. (she wrote, four dang years later)

[@oreos12345]

And i love that she always show a bright side on all of the foods, like IM SURE THIS WILL SAYISFY YOU WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY, THIS WILL SURELY BE A BLISSFUL UN HEAVEN i love hr so much

[@lisarenee3505]

You are correct about the instant beef soup, something like that is absolutely wonderful after you've been cold for several days. Once when I was in the US Army I was doing some "war game" type training in the field at Ft. Polk, Louisiana. It was winter and we had been rained on literally non-stop for six days. A humvee pulled up to our patrol base with some containers of hot instant chicken noodle soup, and to this day I still say that it was the best meal I've ever had.

[@alyssashih2895]

I would like to know what that sensation is like....

[@deanminchella5119]

Thank you for your service.

[@lisarenee3505]

+Dean Minchella Thank you for your support. ;)

[@deanminchella5119]

lisarenee3505 No problem. I watched some documentaries on Afghanistan and the Middle-East and on PTSD; it's horrible. I try to thank whoever put themselves at risk now that I know the seriousness of the condition.

[@RomarieW]

You are such a doll Emmy. You are so considerate of what our service men and women around the world go through when you try their food. It would be so easy for someone to focus on the negatives about the various MREs you've tried - but you focus on the good. I remember my Dad bringing those home from deployments and weekend training and thinking they were just awful. It was only when I got older that I realized that those men and women are thankful for anything that reminds them of home. Stay Sweet - We just love you!

[@emmymade]

Romarie W Daww...thanks. :)

[@gschultz9]

Another brilliant ration review Emmy! It never ceases to amaze me how you can make a clear and concise video like this and manage to be informative and comprehensive. It took me THREE PARTS to cover the NZ ORP (around 45 minutes total). Thanks for the shout out too!

[@emmymade]

Thanks for the kind wordsgschultz9! Now that I've tasted my NZ ORP (and the surprise is over) I'll take a look at your videos and I'm sure I'll learn something. :)

[@gschultz9]

emmymadeinjapan That's great! I hope you like our takes on the ration. Hopefully my three-parter won't cause you to learn how to sleep! LOL

[@TheCanadiangirl4]

gschultz9 I've watched a number of your videos along with your friends and I always enjoy them. All three of you do a great job of explaining the ration packs and what may need improving with some of them.

[@gschultz9]

TheCanadiangirl4 Thank you for saying so Canadiagirl! I appreciate it very much, and I'm sure my co-horts would agree!

[@TheCanadiangirl4]

gschultz9 You're welcome :)

[@Nucl3arDude]

Having eaten these in the field, best thing to do is: combine 1x chocolate drink, 1x peanuts and raisins, 1x fruit grains inside 1x muesli. Add water. Makes a quick breakfast straight after stand to and one that has almost half your day's caloric needs in one go. (All should be mixed in the same bag as the muesli and eaten from there). Save the scratchy pad for rifle cleaning. Potato and chicken boil-in-a-bag is fucking vile. Morale Booster: Boil anything other than the chicken and potato boil-in-a-bag in 1 cups canteen 1x Boil in a bag, chuck the noodles in there, once noodles are done, chuck the soup in there with the noodles. Minimal water used. Pour into the frying pan you should be carrying with you because fuck mess tins, add the curry or vege tagine (if someone knows what the fuck that is, please tell me, we're not sure if its even real food) to the noodles. This takes longer to prepare and eat but is good for morale in the field if you are in an entrenched position for a long time. Super brew: All the coffee, all the chocolate drinks, some sugar to taste, all in your cups canteen, melting some chocolate in it too if you're inclined or maybe adding the condensed milk. Guzzle that shit in place of breakfast if need be if you need that caffeine or both if your platoon commander is fucking around or you're still waiting for a tasking. Medical: When you have the shits, eat the condensed milk straight, plugs you right up 'til the next time you can see the upper tier of medics. Most of us also toss the accessory pack's nebulous shit before we head out into the field. A lot of us have our own coffees. I for instance have a lifeventure thermos that I chuck a sachet of nescafe cappuccino into, recycling any leftover clear water into that and shaking up inside the thermos to not have to clean another item with your finite supply of baby wipes. Also, the cheese is also known as BBC (Bring Back Cheese, for a while they were in tubes, and would explode, so after protest the tin was brought back), if you eat enough of them, you apparently have funky dreams. One guy I heard of woke up 5m outside the harbour away from his hootchie after eating 8 of them the night before. Also if you have assorted cuts on your hands (if you're a gunner, you better have them otherwise you're not working hard enough, and a lot of us have them on our knuckles) the moist towelletes burn with the fury of a thousand suns, use your own baby wipes. The ratpack's bag itself should be saved too, because you can make makeshift chest seals with them along with an infantryman's unusually large supply of insulation tape, or as your nebulous rubbish bag.

[@Gracieisawsome]

Cool info, made me laugh.

[@UppercutLawnsQueenstown]

NuclearDude im infantry that this was funny, the cheese dream thing is true too, hear people spaz out in the harbor sometimes after a cheese feed.

[@foxhound8328]

NuclearDude Agree with you 100%. I usually put the orange sports drink in with the chocolate drink before a long pack march, kinda tastes like Jaffa - well that's what I tell myself anyway. Props to Emmy for eating the muesli with nothing more than cold water, that's freakin disgusting. With a bit of imagination, some time and someone elses gas bottle, we can turn the ORP into a feast fit for a king. Except for that vege tangine, not even vegetarians or any member of the human race eats that.

[@Nucl3arDude]

foxhound83 I surprisingly enjoy the tagine with the noodles, but never, ever do I touch the chicken and potatoes.

[@UppercutLawnsQueenstown]

foxhound83 first time i had menue d was after a few wet days no hot food, we got re sup with them and i thought the tangine was the best thing ive ever had, i even traded chilli and rice for another one, next day i realized my mistake, if your not starving th tangine is aids.

[@KiwiDudeMRE]

Great review Emmy! Again, awesome to see a humble NZ ORP so far from home. Hope you enjoyed it.

[@imrebeccap]

So excited that you and one of my other favs (Emmy) collabed!!!!

[@jumpinshade]

Kiwi Dude she is cute isnt she ?Sadly no boss in emmy's videos ^^

[@kardstore]

Kiwi Dude If Emmy starts doing MRE reviews regularly, I will have to add her to the "Holy Trinity" of ration reviewers Gundog4314, GSchultz9, and Kiwi Dude and think up a new name for the four of them.

[@emmymade]

Thanks Kiwi Dude. I LOVE tasting ration packs. I find it so interesting to see how culture can reveal itself through plastic packets of food.

[@sarchlalaith8836]

Dan Hayami do you have Steve in there too?

[@jonathandpg6115]

I love the way she doesn't give up on it and instead tries to see if she can adjust it.

[@TheFruityKiwi]

Hmmm, I have a feeling the Onion flakes were supposed to go with the beef soup perhaps.. And the fruit bits can go in the muesli to make it sweeter!

[@emmie9435]

Or with the sweetened condensed milk :)

[@matttorres5510]

Emily Lowery beef soup + noodles+ onion flakes I think?

[@225kristent]

Matt Torres the noodles came with a chicken flavor packet so I don't think it should be added to the soup, but I guess it could be if you leave the chicken flavor out

[@bedzy]

TheFruityKiwi the fruit bites are just for a small sugar hit or as you said to put it with the muesli, but each to their own😂

[@gitaaji2112]

Seriously. It's something about the way Emmy eats. It makes the food looks a million times more delicious.

[@DreamVintagewithDJ]

[@joannegray5138]

My foster cat Loki (he's a stray who wandered into my house last year) loves your videos, Emmy. Whenever I'm watching them, he jumps up onto my lap and I have to angle my screen so he can see properly. He keeps reaching out to try and pat your face (unfortunately this pauses the video) so I suppose he's a fan (my other two cats are indifferent). Don't know what your magic is, but keep on posting your videos - Loki can't get enough of you. ;)

[@OneJutsuMan]

XD

[@alyssashih2895]

Your cat is so cute!

[@RosieHip24]

How is Loki doing currently?

[@prosperitypea8180]

I love how down to earth she is. I also love how she always is considerate of the military, if she doesn’t like something, she always acknowledges that they’re hungry and that it would taste good when you’re tired.

[@BishtrainerTai16]

Seems like adding a simple tube of condensed milk would brighten up all the MREs in the world.

[@bellaxfatal]

I am honestly addicted to watching MRE review videos by all of those guys. They all do a great job. And of course, I LOVE watching your videos, Emmy!! I think it's pretty neat that you all are colabing together! My daughter just started watching the MRE review videos with me, and guess what she asked for as one of her presents for her 10th birthday?! Lol! A couple MREs to try out. She is her mother's daughter, after all. ;) Keep up the great work, and keep your videos coming, I'll keep watching!

[@emmymade]

bellaxfatal haha Thanks, and I hope your daughter enjoys tasting them. Maybe a little camping trip or even eating them outside for the full effect. :)

[@kateoconnor389]

+emmymadeinjapan 1 thing that I really like about your vids is your voice. its very pleasing.... im not wierd, it is. I also enjoy how detailed your descriptions are. keep it up! :)

[@skittlemenow]

Someone on the KZbins did Marmite correctly?!? My mind is blown!

[@vtecpreludevtec]

Vegimite or Marmite,in N.z. we love both,Aus vegimite only.

[@vtecpreludevtec]

Dam,no marmite cheese combo.

[@thechosenone9404]

What's marmite

[@kster809]

Marmite is a sort of spread made from yeast extract. It's got a very strong salty/umami flavour, so people who actually put it on bread tend to spread it thinly as it can be overpowering if you use too much. People tend to either love Marmite or hate it! Edit: Emmy kind of said it already, but I'd say the best way to describe the flavour is like soy sauce except highly concentrated!

[@Kirthten]

dude just putting a thin layer is gross I smother butter all over the today and very carefully apply a thin sheet if marmite then do it again on either slice. Boom it goes thwap into my belly

[@paigeprins-haakma5073]

i love emmy. she is pretty. honest sweet and she doesn't overreact on things she doesn't like.

[@tunnelrat5622]

There's a flint on the bottom of those Match Tubes. Also when we were augmented with NZDF, they taught us to mix the instant noodles with the entrees, to make a noodle dish. The Yeast Extract is Marmite, something the Kiwis LOVE. Strawberry Jellies were added to our Muesli Oats with the Condensed milk with boiling water to make oatmeal. When we were not on base, we carried Hexamine Tablets with a Hexamine stove and cooked on our Canteen Cups, Cleaning it with the scouring pad. Other than that, I definitely prefer the 24-hour Rat Pack over our MREs any day! Awesome Video!

[@_heart__eyes_]

Onion flakes + beef soup= French onion soup

[@SnickerSkye]

Throw in a few globs of that cheese and it would be even closer to proper french onion soup!

[@1MSally1965]

[@laurarubio7671]

[@nightbl00ms]

[@sheilasantos7154]

[@paws_purrs23]

[@padthaifries]

Rachel Taylor I remember them from my childhood - always guessing what colour was inside before biting into one!

[@emmymade]

Rachel Taylor Ha! Interesting...

[@mettahuttravels3183]

Dear Emmy, thanks for the video it was very informative, having been in the NZ army I can tell you that not much has change in rations packs over the years, but I have noted that most people doing this type of video are tending to use the hand wipe after the meal but as you can imagine being in the field it is of the up most important that hand hygiene is maintain, so no gut bug can take hold. Thanks again.:-}

[@chrisp33]

What I like about this ration is the modular nature. By mixing and matching the items one could get quite the variety. Nice.

[@niinnss]

Am I the only one who thinks that Emmy would make really good Asmr videos ? Her videos are so relaxing to me and I enjoy them a lot !!

[@medusa51]

This new zealand operation pack is more generous than the others.

[@Telonelemon3]

Small countries with small militaries are able to supply better food.

[@Margar02]

+Chessqueen It's got more variety and interesting things, but if by "generous" you mean "a lot of food," it's because each one is 24 hours' worth, not just one meal.

[@medusa51]

Margaret Gardner Well I don't know if this is the case with them (I do need to see what it is like to be a soldier for one day- I am saying this as a female after all) but I think it might be sufficient for the whole day and then some.

[@Facehate666]

+Chessqueen They gotta supply the Maoris with food. They're warriors!

[@laflamed]

What do they eat for breakfast

[@NZsapper1]

Kiwi rat packs are all about the mixing and matching to personal taste, there is no wrong way to go about it. I mix my Peanuts and raisins in with one of the meat packs for a bit more texture and sweetness. Others just use it as a snack. Depending on how many packs you are given at one time, it is possible to make a cheese cake in the field. Using crushed crackers and biscuits as a base, the sweetened condensed milk, canned cheese and lemon sports drink satchets (or chocolate drink) as the main layer, with jam and strawberry fruit grains on top. It is easy to be creative when you have the time.

[@mandolinic]

The little tube of condensed milk is a brilliant idea. Much better than sachets of milk powder or tea/coffee "whitener".

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

And they've gotten rid of it.

[@kayjoy78]

I've watched you since the beginning and wow have I seen you grow :) youre so much more comfortable in front of the camera now and having kids and just continuing in life has made you blossom so much :3 you have a special little glow to you and I love it. Love you Emmy! :D

[@emmymade]

kayjoy78 Thanks. :)

[@d0ryane_]

+Karim Ziadé lol

[@simonholdsworth6867]

Canned cheese is the best! Also you can add the trail mix and chocolate drink to the muesli, makes it much tastier and fairly substantial breakfast. We usually just threw out the onion flakes and drinks we didn't want. Oh also those scrubbing pads are great for cleaning weapons.

[@iriss3460]

Clinkers are kind of like a cinder toffee coated in chocolate. They come in green, yellow, and pink but don't really have a specific flavour. A popular road trip game in Australia is to try and guess the colour of the clinker before you bite into it!

[@careytaylor-forbes2505]

Excellent review and you hit the nail on the head when you said there were lots of things to mix and match. NZ ration packs have been like that for a long time. I was a medic in the '70s and the only real difference was the "entrees", as you put it, came in tin cans instead of foil packets. We still used our canteen cups for a lot of our cooking on the issue hexamine cooker and the boiled lollies (hard candies), tube of sweetened condensed milk and the oat crackers were salient features of the pack then too. We used to get a tube of honey, though and a standard 100g block of Cadbury's "Energy" (medium dark) chocolate.

[@kusum8702]

I love that you ate the marmite correctly and loved it! Everybody judge Marmite and Vegemite so poorly it actually is good they just eat it wrong lol Thank you Emmy!

Hey Emmy! My class and I just went to the Waiouru Army Museum (NZ), For lunch we had to make a ration pack, we used the traditional way of doing it, a tiny tiny stove, with 3 pans, we had the sweet and sour chicken, with instant chicken noodles, and a beef stew. We had to cook all three of them on one stove (mentioned above), biggest one down the bottom, and then the other 2 on the top. The long match is in fact a flare! And the short one a normal one... They both are waterproof. We also had the same content (condensed milk etc). Green thing, was a scrub.

rat packing is how I learned to improve MREs. all but one of my drill sergeants were Pathfinders and they taught us to not eat or drink everything that you get. put some things back to enhance your other MREs. and if you happen to be in a area where the kids are genuinely friendly and you can trust them, you can trade your candy for some fresher local food or a soda like drink.

You and that sweetened condensed milk made my night. Definitely got some good 'medicine' out of watching that! Thanks as always, Emmy! XD

[@stephanieclark1487]

I’d def added the beef soup to the noodles and that’s been good I feel like or the noodles to that first lamb stew. So many combos to improve on these. My husband was a marine and apparently guys will swap MREs for flavors they like better. I don’t blame them

[@kamiko70]

you have he cutest response to things you try! i love your videos!

[@MrAndyB]

I echo the Marmite/Vegemite sentiments already here. Too many people spread it on thickly and it's just disgusting like that. A thing layer is all you need. Pair it up with some cheese!

[@nojamguy7561]

Andy B And butter

[@joshlanders]

Branston pickles, however, should be put on thicc.

[@Flowers_gasping_under_rubble]

I use butter and spreading it thin makes it taste awesoem plus it lasts for longer XD

[@AtHomeGypsy]

I'm a small caterer and love learning all the things you show, food and cooking... it wasn't until I showed your past videos my partner took interest. Thank you :)

[@forest3569]

her hair reminds me of a cool surfer

[@TheScratchingKiwi]

Thank you for doing the marmite correctly. Cheese on top of marmite is amazing! Clinkers are a kind of fruit flavoured hokey pokey covered in chocolate.

her reaction to the muesli is hilarious, i grew up eating muesli that looked exactly like that and my dad still eats it. it isn't bad you know! is raw rolled oat muesli for brekky an aussie/kiwi thing? i had no idea it wasn't common in other western countries

[@itskimmi21]

it’s very popular in UK too! i grew up eating muesli and i still love it as a 20 year old!

[@2celestialchix]

Har-dee har-har! Thanks for these awesome videos and linking us up with some cool new channels!

[@aliese66]

Guess what's going on my shopping list?? Condensed milk! I have to try it now.

[@arricherie]

aliese66 wow im surprised you never tried condensed milk before. lol.

[@sydneycg]

never tried it either!

[@puttytat007]

aliese66 It's so yummy in some countries they make two holes at each end and eat it like that. :D

[@doriosity5811]

SydTV098 you HAVE to! it's amazing, it's like everything you want in a vanilla pudding, except milky and caramel like.

[@julietran5506]

you should try avocado mixed with condensed milk

[@JAXKOfficial]

The ending just makes me love you even more LOL. Great video as always Emmy. I'd love to get my own ration pack one day in the near future. Also, Har-Dee Har-Har-Har!

[@bluewardog]

RadioMan being a new zealander i wouldent be suprised if they went "coise mate"

[@KorribansFallen]

+bluewardog - and a Book on how to con the NZ Public by John Key :-P

[@ellenspear50]

It's not surprising the stew is a little sweet -- kiwis seem to like sweetness in their savory food. It mystifies me, an American expat trying to get along in NZ. Muesli (isn't it Swiss?) is the big breakfast food here. Commercial mueslis are oversweet. My partner works for NZ Defense Force, and I'm pretty sure this is what he ate while on a training session in caves on the south island. (No Tim Tams -- I am surprised.)

[@casspurrwaspurr4716]

wow maybe it's just me but you make noodles very differently. How my family and I make it is we boil them until soft *obviously* then we drain nearly all the water leaving a tiny bit and then add the flavour because that way you get more flavouring to them. And then you can either tip out the rest of the water or not.

[@foreverinbloom14]

Most people eat it with the water. Like those prepackaged ramen cups, you're not really supposed to remove the water after you added it in

[@casspurrwaspurr4716]

***** oh i see, well personally I think it'd taste much better without the water, but that's me =)

[@BishtrainerTai16]

+CASSPurr Waspurr I like leaving a few spoonfuls of water, so the flavor is more concentrated but not totally dry.

[@casspurrwaspurr4716]

BishtrainerTai16 yeah on certain days I do too.

[@livefortodayxo]

yasssss. was thinking the same thing hahaha drain them noodles girl ain't anybody eating soggy no goreng hahaha

[@catsrcute12]

I'm obsessed with your videos!!! Keep up the good work!
