I spent a couple of week working with Spanish mountain troops in Kosovo in '03. They liked our U.S. rations because they were light and you could break down the parts you wanted to carry and just pull it out of a pocket whenever you had a moment. They liked them for lunch. The Spanish meals were more sit down affairs. We would mix the two in the morning and have a sit down Spanish meal for dinner.

So it's more or less interchangeable with the culture of the Moors, who inhabited nearby areas in the Mediterranean. Although some centuries later. The differences would have been more to do specifically with religious beliefs and customs, rather than culture.

Hi there! I am spaniard and I have been a professional soldier in the army for two years, during the first half of the 90s. I have been nostalgic when I saw your video, the format of the army combat rations has not changed: the same color, the same cans...And practically the food, it is the same that I knew 27 years ago, except for some things, like the gum or the toothbrush that I have seen out there. I think that was not at that time What I see, the quality of the food hasn't changed at all. It was, and is, of high quality. It was exactly the same food that you could buy in any food store or spanish supermarket, only that the can was another color, the characteristic olive green, in this case for the spanish army. But the product was the same By the way, what you put on the cookies is condensed milk. Its true use is to pour it over water, and thus make a kind of milk, but it can also have the utility that you want A good video

In Spain it is really common to drink coffee with milk for breakfast sweeted with a bit of sugar. Our coffee use to be more concentrated than american coffee. The condensated milk is to mix with coffee: you get your traditional coffee with milk and you don't need to add sugar because concentrated milk is already sweet. Squids cooked in their own ink is a tradicional food in spain. When the squid is little we call it "chipiron" and it is really common to cook them filled with the tentacles with a sauce made with their ink or tother kind of spiced sauce. We also use to cook the ink from cuttlefish. There is a dish similar to Paella that is rice with seafood and coloured with cuttlefish ink: "Arroz negro" (Black rice) . Ink from squids or cuttlefish gives a really good taste to dishes Related to this kind of "Pate", we don't use to eat it directly. The most common is to extend it over bread slices to eat it in that way , or extend it between to bread slices and do a sandwich Quince jelly used to be eaten as dessert in combination with cheese. the "granurality" is because it is good, withou chemical additives. Quince meat has this granurality. If quince jelly has a a smooth jelly texture it means that the chemical additives are higher

Sweetened condensed milk truly is a wonderful invention. It's a calorie-dense food that doesn't take a lot of space, has a good mixture of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins in it, and is immensely enjoyable to boot.

Those TOSTADA biscuits are actually popular in Spain ^^ Very traditional biscuits we have for breakfast or ''merienda'' (between lunch and dinner) :):) Also I have to say that our food in general is very carefully cooked and prepared in every single meal, we really care about what we eat and it is such a whole tradition. That ''fat'' thing you found in the POTE GALLEGO its called ''TOCINO'', next time have it with spreaded on to bread... SO TASTY AND DELICIOUS :) Im glad you liked it

I have watched hundreds of your reviews, and, for me, this Spanish ration is the winner. All that stuff looks SO good to me. The 2016 Portuguese Navy is up next, though, so we'll see how they do when you get their stuff out onto a tray. Nice!

I love the way the Mediterranean rations always have seafood in them, that's really smart because it adds that extra flavour that most others lack. And extremely nutritious.

[@Lifty]

when i first came across your channel i had no interest in these types of videos or MREs in general but i've literally been binge watching your vids the last few days. your videos are very entertaining and i love the way you edit the stirring of the drinks. hahah keep up the good work!

[@joseluisposevelo]

The green leaf in the Galician stew is called " Grelos" it's the equivalent of the green leaf of the turnip. I'll recommend to everyone to try it. Love your videos.

[@e.graceoldstoneroses9947]

Thanks for the explanation. I kept thinking those greens looked like turnip greens.

[@Citricut2]

I find it interesting that all these canned foods are retail products specially labelled for the army. Seafood and stew cans, powdered soup, are a staple for students and something everyone would have at home in Spain. Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@grendelum]

By far the best looking MRE I've ever seen... and yes, when squid are processed the tentacles are pushed back in by hand.

[@MikeBenko]

Meatballs and "peas". I live in Spain and those canned meatballs are very commonly available. Had them quite a few times on lazy winter Sundays, that Fabada (a white bean stew he had for lunch, the fucking thing is delicious, tho the most common regional variant the Asturiana doesn't have any spinach in it). There's also a simple meatless canned chickpea and spinach stew that is absolutely ridiculous. Spanish canned food is remarkably good, it's an occasional guilty pleasure I have.

[@Huma270490]

One thing is Fabada and another Galician Stew ( Cocido gallego), one is from Galicia and the other from Asturias. Those " spinach" are "grelos", a tipical vegetable in the Galicia-Asturias food. you should try a Galician Stew, but be sure to be on winter or your stomach will melt XDDDD.
