Add the cereal/oatmeal to the pears (or other fruit pack) after heating. That's how I used to do it.

[@user-id8yo4zo8x]

Yup midnight snack

[@CadWeapTech]

1.That energy bar had to be expired as fuck 2. the cereal has powdered milk in it 3. I tend to use the beverage bag for the coffee and save the other drinks for my lunch and dinner 4. It is indeed a tradition to eat the "mint" 5. Our service rifle is the C7A2 or the C8 Carbine (The Canadian version of the M4.)

Ketchup comes from the Hokkien Chinese word, kê-tsiap, the name of a sauce derived from fermented fish. It is believed that traders brought fish sauce from Vietnam to southeastern China. The British likely encountered ketchup in Southeast Asia, returned home, and tried to replicate the fermented dark sauce

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

Wow I had no idea! Thanks for that!

[@robertsmith4681]

I heard of a stuff called "nuoc mam" which is basically rotten fish juice in brine but never in terms of the origin of ketchup. Interesting, thank you.

[@Siluialwin]

In Canada we do not call it Canadian bacon, we call it peameal ham or peameal bacon, or possibly back bacon in some areas, if it says bacon it is just regular bacon the same as in America. Canada is only cold in the winter it is hot in the summer. In fact 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the U.S. border and more than 70% of Canadians live below the 49th parallel (so around 60% live south of Seattle). Most American's have this vision of Canada being very cold, and it is in some parts of Canada in the winter but not all of Canada all the time. But even the more northern parts of Canada (where I am from) it can be very very cold in the winter but it is still hot in the summer.

In British Columbia it's called "Back Bacon"

[@dominiquelegaultstauffer4109]

In Québec "Canadian" bacon is ("bacon de dos"/back bacon) or ("bacon en semoule"/peameal bacon), never had either tbh. The only bacon I ever had is the "American" bacon, which we plainly call bacon.

[@stevestruthers6180]

I'm from Ontario, the only time we call back bacon 'peameal bacon', is if the edges of the slices have a cornmeal rind.

[@cityandlocal]

New to the channel! Loving the concept and production style! As a Canadian, I gotta say that Canadian bacon is an American invention. I still don't even know what that is lol. I'll rock the maple syrup stereotype proudly. Don't drink that swill on tables at diners. Anything called table syrup is just maple flavoured corn syrup. Gotta get the real stuff!

[@antonioarroyas7662]

What we call peameal bacon is what they call Canadian bacon.

[@jackiebuttnor8410]

"Canadian Bacon" is Back Bacon. Americans are silly when the find something they don't understand. They make up a name instead of asking what things are. 😂

[@bthalko]

If you're doing a Winter EX, you tear down the IMP and tuck it in pockets on your kit. Usually the main meal and bar goes in a pocket next to your skin to keep it warm-ish, so it's not terrible. They're pretty dense at the best of times, as it is.

Canada doesn't use bullpups, they use locally made M16s and other AR platforms, and I think Australia also recently switched from the AUG to ARs

[@stevestruthers6180]

The C7/C8 rifles are based on the Colt Model 715, which is roughly functionally equivalent to the M16A3. Numerous improvements, such as a heavier, cold-forged barrel were made to the original design to create the C7 rifle and C8 carbine. The C8 is closer to the M4 in terms of overall dimensions and functions. Fun fact: Canada exported the C7 and C8 to the Netherlands and Denmark, and the British SAS and other specialist units in the British Army acquired a number of C7 rifles. So it's not just the Canadian Forces that is equipped with these small arms.

[@BarnDoorProductions]

Ketchup is originally Chinese. Called 'katyap', it was a dark, strongly flavoured fish sauce. It has changed a lot over the century and three-quarters of its Western life.

I am canadian can confirm we all have frozen ponds behind our igloos to play hockey and to get to and from school or work we have sled beavers not sled dogs

[@evilcritter]

I was going to say, my neighbour used to make a little rink in his backyard so the neighbourhood kids could play hockey. But there were also lots of frozen ponds to skate on. And a park near where I lived most recently would build a little rink on the basketball court so people could play hockey in winter. Stereotypes exist for a reason! I've never played hockey. But I'm female, so there was far less expectation of that.

[@RandomTorok]

It's why Gretzky was so good. Every year his dad flooded the backyard and the kids practiced every day.

[@dyndor]

Funny you said “trachea.” When I first joined the Canadian military in 1995, there was a MRE (we called them IMP) which was referred to as “lung in a bag” which was an omelet. My favorite was the beans and wieners, I actually really liked it.

Holland 1944 Grandfather being French Acadian (Canadian Cajun's basically ) He took with him 3 lbs of Smoked dried Moose strips overseas Knowing he isn't going to find that in a Canadian MRE...Longer story short A family of dutch dragged his wounded butt into the cellar of the house Where he slept 11 hrs from blood loss And exhaustion They tended his wounds When he woke His bag And boots at the foot of the bed Untouched He asked them for the bag And yup his Jerky And MRE still there Which he gladly gave them ------ He later requested to his CO to give them a few more MRE's Which the CO denied ..His unit found out how the dutch people helped him And others Each man chipped in (50 or so) Bring it to the family which helped a few others too ..The final thing was "A supply truck was hit that destroyed all the rations And the camp needed a new supply VERY BADLY !" ...turns out the CO made the story up He felt bad with his men after what they done ...Grandfather said most of us were tired of corn beef Or what might of looked like food

I could do without hot sauce, even though I think it would be really nice. Though if you have something like Mexican or whatnot in MRE, hot sauce should be mandatory. But every ration should include few salt, pepper, chili packets, one for every meal at least, maybe couple extra pepper and chili. Those cost nothing and can make food so much better. Rations usually include salt and pepper, but chili should also be mandatory too.
