[@Steve1989MRE]

Thanks Hank! I try to stay consistent. Now I may be doing a camping video - don't worry it will still be on a tray. It may or may not work out but when it comes to doing anything different for a slight and occasional change that would be about it. Thanks again man and see ya on the next one!

[@bedtimestories4927]

The prob;em with those canned foods is that you cant actually heat them on fire. We did it in the army and no one told us not to cause no one knows. The cans are lined with plastic and are toxic when heated. Instead, just pop the lid to a hiss and boil it in the water in a canteen. Heats evenly and is safer plus the food wont burn. Cool reviews as always. Let me know if you want to try an Estonian ration.

[@samy7013]

Good info! Thank you for sharing it!

[@DravgonPL]

Not every can is lined with plastic mate, there is a good portion of rations you can safely heat up on fire

One good way to heat on those stoves is to dent the side of the can and put it on unopened, on its side. Turn occasionally and when the dent starts to pop out a bit, wait thirty seconds or so then open

[@RandomByte89]

That is pretty clever. Need to remember this.

[@-Zevin-]

4 year old comment but it's worth mentioning for any future people that see this too, in the Belorussian military, just like the Russian military they are issued and carry 3 piece mess kits still, just like in Soviet times. It's a cooking bowl lid and pan, you wouldn't cook any of these in the can, they would be dropped into the mess kit and stirred, so you would end up with even cooking and no burnt bits. You then would eat from the mess kit instead of a tray.

[@huhwhatidunno612]

[@TheAugust8]

Belarusian food products in Russia are considered much better than local ones, because in Belarus there are still have Soviet ГОСТ quality standards (ГОсударственные СТандарты or State Standards) that describe the composition and technology of products and the deviation from which is seriously punished if it declared on the package. Therefore, the quality of Belarusian food is much less affected by cheap substitutes for natural ingredients. So, for example, choosing between Russian condensed milk or pate and Belarusian one, more often choose Belarusian. Sorry for Google Translator.

[@Msciwoj-j4x]

I'm Polish and I also love quality of Belarusian food))

[@nuttex]

>Belarusian GOSTs equal superior quality Yet another example of Bulbash delusion at display here, lads. Next you're going to say with a straight face that Soviet GOSTs ensured high quality of food.

[@MetaLexxer]

I found shredded newspaper in some of the store bought/packaged food I bought in Russia. Near the same time an associate of mine cracked his tooth on a rock contained in cereal from a packaged/sealed/labeled box. Oh, and don't drink anything from those thick glass bottles as they are easily re-purposed and sealed/re-capped by anyone.

[@kirya312]

MetaLexxer they were actually reused in ussr, because there was two types of bottles - brown for beer and lemonade and transparent for stuff like milk. But now I think its not possible, because every company has their own bottle. I live in russia and the worst thing i ever seen in food was an olive with pit that break my father’s tooth.

Hey Steve, you might have actually eaten Cowberry before, as it is also called Lingonberry or Partridgeberry (as well as a bunch of other names like wild cranberry). It is a member of the Vaccinium genus of plants, specifically Vaccinium vitis-idaea which include cranberries, blueberry, and huckleberry. It grows in the northern hemisphere and is popular in the US, Scandinavia and Russia (and surrounding nations). Hope this info was useful. Cheers from frozen Ohio!

Kisel is like an offshoot of jello but it is liquid. Can be quite dense though, depending on how much water you use. In Poland it is mostly served in pre-highschool or primary schools but adults eat kisel as well. It is always a cheap dessert but just with creme freche or fruit chunks it can get really delicious and savory.

[@justshane2805]

Kisel is also served in kindergarten and junior school in Russia, and it was one of my favourite drinks, even now it's hard to beat if you mix it with fruits

Steve great job, it must be really cool being able to sample military combat rations from all over the world. It's amazing that this small country on the other side of the world that didn't exist when I was a Paratrooper in the mighty Airborne Infantry is able to make an MRE that's appealing to the eye, but also tastes far better then any of the canned U.S. C-rations (except for Chicken or Turkey Boned & Ham and Eggs chopped). In addition the cans don't require a P38 to open them. I have a very funny story that involves British combat ration sausages, a field expedient stove, a German Mann truck, an Iraqi anti tank ditch and an Iraqi land mine. I'm a subscriber, if that helps. its about 0315HRS so I'll type it to you when I find one of your new videos, if you'd like to hear it.

That soft bone deal is what you get from a quality French cassoulet or duck confit. They are usually cooked twice - once in the big stew pot, and again in the can at high pressure once the cans have been sealed up. The duck legs still have the bone in them, but usually it is so well cooked that the bone just crumbles when you bite into it. A bit like when you get canned red salmon fillets which also usually have the bones still in them - they are pressure cooked in the can too, so the bone has the consistency of wet chalk. One major advantage of this kind of cooking is that the calcium content of the bones is far more bio-available: The mineral component of bone is calcium phosphate, which your stomach acid reacts with to form calcium chloride, which is very water-soluble so you absorb pretty much all the calcium. A bit like when you take an antacid tablet - these are usually calcium carbonate, which also becomes calcium chloride in your stomach by a similar reaction, so eating antacid tablets is a cheap and effective way of boosting your calcium intake if you need to.

Steve your a one of a kind brother. Love hearing you eat and explain how delicious these MREs are. I have to say some of the other channels they pool at their food, and complain on how it’s not basically what their muse too. You my friend you don’t waste a drop of food . You’ve certainly got me into trying different MREs and I sit and watch your videos while I’m eating those MREs . Please come back and continue to do MEEs ? Thanks buddy ❤️🙏

[@illiminatieoverlordgurglek140]

I'm not in the military, but if this ration was dropped for me to survive in some disaster area I would be very pleased. Looks very tasty and seems like the kind of food that keeps you feeling nice and full for a good while!

[@tommyjoestallings855]

This meal reminded me of a scene from the 1984 version of the Razors Edge when British paramedics offered their American counterparts some of their rations. The Americans had some terrible slop while the English had canned shrimp.

[@TheEvilWithinFan]

The crunch from the wheat bread is oddly satisfying.

I remember eating rations out of Russia in the 90's a bunch, and this really really reminds me of those, even the stove is exactly the same (except fuel was separately packaged from the stove)

Just one hint heating russian mre in cans over fire: put 1/3 into mess kit or plate before heating, heat other part while mixing it with spoon. In result mix it up and have a nice and warm meal with no "black crispy things". :3

If you cook it for long enough in a stew or something, you can always eat the bones.

[@KahlestEnoch]

Nice ration. Have only seen 1 from Belarus before. Looks fantastic. Yum beef Kasha for breakfast. It would not surprise me if that was pumpkin in the chicken pate, there are no vitamin supplements or fiber pills. Pumpkin is high in fiber and will help keep you regular. Lunch looks good would love to try that chicken and sauce. Kissel? Possibly fruit soup? Yes Fat is flavor. I wonder if you let the Kissel cool right off will it turn to jello? That looks fantastic for dinner. Thanks for the fantastic review

[@victorianoble3374]

In Russia we just drink it. At least I don't know anyone who makes kisel so thick that you can't drink it anymore.

[@JohnDoe-kg5zm]

You can drink kissel hot or cold, as you wish. When kissel is hot it tastes less sugar.

[@JakeGreen86]

At last now I can listen to this while I try to get some sleep.. listened to some old vids last night lol.

[@boris1986]

I'm from Belarus and what is interesting, you can't buy this ration, but you can buy every peace of it in almost any store. Well, for now, with war and everything anyway. Thank you for your video! I definitely gonna buy some of those "Berezowka-style chicken in sauce", I saw cans in shops, but was suspicious of them earlier.

[@jdreams7928]

Of COURSE we would watch a camping review!

[@Happymrsnowman]

Excellent video Steve! I always love seeing stuff from the eastern bloc. Kissel' has cornstarch or potato starch in it traditionally. It's basically cooked down fruit juice with starch in it, meant to be drank hot kinda like tea. Very warming and comforting drink. I imagine it'd be pretty good as a morale booster.

[@eriklewis1671]

I personally like the military survival kit uploads. Wish you had more of those. Oh, and I've got to say your pretty brave on some of the things you choose to eat. Nice vids. 👍

Dear Steve1989, you got one thing wrong in the video, Kisiel (or Kissel how you call it) is more of a dessert rather than a beverage. You're meant to wait for it to get colder in order for it to got thicker. c:

[@indianasquatchunters]

Jasiu I'm an American and have never heard of Kisiel. But I was thinking that it should cool down tho, it seems like it'd be better cold or room temperature.

Steve, the lighter roast contains more caffeine. The dark roast has had most of the caffeine roasted out. So, if you want to stay awake, a light roast for breakfast will get you going.

[@Aggrofool]

Nice!

[@GigaBoost]

This is a myth! --- Many people believe that coffee roast has a significant effect on caffeine content. Some claim that dark roast beans contain higher caffeine levels; others assert that dark roasting destroys the caffeine and that lighter roasts contain much more caffeine. The truth, however, is that the roast of the coffee has little or no effect on the caffeine content since the compound remains very stable at the temperatures to which coffee beans are exposed during the roasting process.

[@videopokernetwork6824]

@@GigaBoost thank you. Then how is caffeine reduced and and why do people, with regards to bold v. lighter coffees believe otherwise?

[@GigaBoost]

@@videopokernetwork6824 it seems like an easy assumption to make, like the caffeine is 'burnt off' more during a dark roast - but it's not accurate. Type of bean is going to be magnitudes more important than roast for caffeine content at the end of the day

[@corn_pop6082]

This hit home in a good way. Both my parents born in USA but my paternal grandparents were White Russian (Byelorussian -- "BeloRussian" as Steve gives it doesn't give correct pronunciation). Now, I'm old, so my granddad as a calvary officer in the tsar's army, but somehow he got posted to a Cossack regiment. Cossacks aren't Russian, ild tribesmen from southern steppes so I don't know how my White Russian grand dad wound up serving with them. He did bring his cavalry sword over to US and presented it to my dad, not the oldest of his four sons. Cossacks were used to bloodily put down 1905 Russian Revolution and we always wondered if granddad swung it to quell the revolt. Family history says he decided to get out after that 1905 slaughter. He never talked about it but was proud of having been a soldier. He even did a tour guarding tsar's family and an aunt recounted how he loved bouncing all the tsar's children on his knees. He and his wife were safely over by 1910. Tsar's kids all butchered by Lenin after 1917 Revolution. Glad he got out. Nazis obliterated White Russia to the ground. Doubt any family records survive, as opposed to our Italian side, where good church records kept of births, marriages and deaths, A brother traced our Italian side to 15th century. White Russian records burned and smashed by Nazis, who considered we Slavs sub-human. All brought back by this ration pack. Thanks much, Steve.
