Thats quite disappointing compared to most other MREs containing some sort of heating.

Yeah, the flame-less heaters as well are literally just the US ones from MREs. I guess it was a logistical problem getting the 2 companies to work together.

The Frank's Hot Sauce is one of the less "hot" sauces. It's got a nice flavor and a bit if heat, but it's really not one of the mouth-scorching nasty sauces that make you wonder why you even opened the bottle as it leans in the direction of toxic waste.

[@jaylittleton1]

We normally had our rations unheated as making a fire is not always wise. If it is a sunny day, laying them out on a dark surface did some good. If we had a vehicle, then lots of heat was available. Anyway, most military rations are formulated for cold "rough" meals.

[@lsswappedcessna]

I've heard stories about U.S. army soldiers frying eggs on the jet exhaust port of an M1 Abrams tank.

[@gorillaau]

you used to be able to heat a pre-cooked meal on the exhaust manifold of a car and going for a drive. These days, I'm not sure if it still works.

[@howlingwolven]

@@lsswappedcessna Those stories come out of most desert campaigns. In WWII, troops were frying eggs on the top armor plates of their tanks, so I'm not surprised that continues on.

[@lsswappedcessna]

​@@howlingwolven The Abrams also runs a gas turbine engine, of which are notorious heat machines. Jet exhaust is normally much hotter than regular piston exhaust (wankel exhaust shares this trait, but not at the extent of a gas turbine engine). Engine exhaust is normally around 1200 degrees Fahrenheit (which is why to this day, the two-stroke Saab's pistons being aluminum bugs me), wankel exhaust is around 1700 F as far as I could find, and the Abrams is in excess of 1700 F. Plenty of heat to get the armor panels around the exhaust port to at least 160 F, which is the temperature needed to properly cook an egg.

[@stevestruthers6180]

Baxters products are widely sold in Canada. IMP (Individual Meal Pack) rations used to be made by Reddi-Chef in Montreal, but they went out of business or they lost the contract. Then Wornick Foods in the US started making some of the main components of the IMPs (they also make a lot of the MRE packs for the US military) and then Baxters took over and started making the main menu portions of the IMPs.

[@Lost-In-Blank]

Comfort food we all remember from growing up. I remember as a kid growing up in Canada 45-60 years ago.Weiners and beans (frankfurters and beans) -- long time classic inexpensive Canadian lunch for kids. Take a few hotdog weiners, slice them up into 1 to 2 cm lengths, put in a sauce pan, add tin of beans, and heat to desired temperature stirring occasionally. Serve in a bowl with bread on the side, or serve on top of toast on a plate. When making it from scratch it is good to heat it up and let it simmer on a low heat to let the flavours mix. Likewise in modern microwave, heat it up, let it sit for 5 minutes, heat it up again, and serve. (Or course if it has all been sitting together in a pouch for a year the flavours will already be mixed.)

If I recall correctly it was a 1:10 drop ratio. 10 being the water. For every drop of the Dehydrated Water you get a supply of 11 drops to drink. Now you can stretch that out by going 1:20 but the water tastes a little thin. You can go the other direction and go 1:5 but that water might be a little strong for some people. Heaven forbid you went 1:1

The way the fat and saturated fat labels work is actually based on your recommended daily intake (for a 2000 cal diet). So the 15% means "This contains 15% of your daily recommended amount of fats." and the second number means "This contains 16% of your daily recommended saturated fat" which is also to say "This has about the recommended ratio of saturated fats to unsaturated fats"

I do not miss them though.

[@_Piers_]

Frank Red Hot is just terrible marketing. Their sauces are delicious, especially the Chilli and Lime...but they're not very hot at all. I'm sure the 'Red Hot' puts off a lot potential buyers.

[@monkeyjuju7441]

Honestly I think the matches are better than the chemical heaters, maybe slightly less optimal than the pop up stoves with fuel puck things, at least for survival anyway. Mainly because if you're somehow stranded if you have the chemical heaters you're pretty much screwed as far as fire goes unless you also have matches or a lighter, which a surprising amount of people never carry and almost no cars come standardly equipped with one and even if they do your dead battery nay very well be the reason you're stranded, rendering the lighter useless. On the other hand if you just have the MRE in your trunk, hiking bag, or whatever as a quick meal in case you end up out longer than expected or whatever you've got matches, therefore fire but then again still need water. The stove is like the perfect cross between the two imo since you don't need to find fuel for the fire, and it comes with a source for creating the fire and once your food is cooked you can knock the fuel thing off the stove and create a full fire easily without worrying about kindling or wasting your matches.

[@FeelOfWartune]

The new ones in the dark plastic containers with the heat cells aren’t too bad but they’re still MRE’s and they will always have that odd iron/vitamin/plastic/gasoline taste. Mmmm goood....

[@Enjoymentboy]

Back in the early 90's a friend of mine in the Canadian Forces was stationed in Cyprus under the UN banner for a year. When he came home he brought a few MREs for us to try. One was labelled as "Western Omelette" but was more affectionately known as "Lung in a Bag". While it truly did look like a lung had been surgically removed and vacuum sealed in a bag I am 100% certain a real lung would have tasted truly wondrous compared to this thing that was being passed off as food. He told us stories of the guys he was stationed with gambling and betting their MREs instead of money and often when they lost they would be left with ONLY the western omelette left over as NO ONE would accept them as a wager. They'd actually freely give them away to the losers. Some guys went so far as to refuse to eat them and wound up in the infirmary after passing out from not eating for days in a row when all they had was "lung in a bag" to eat. My how things seem to have changed. :)

In U.S. terms- you've got: Franks & Beans, (hamburger shaped) bread, grape Gatorade (sports drink to replenish after exertion, potassium nitrate, salts, etc.) Frank's has a wonderful flavor, and is very medicinal. You could add the jam and fruit to the sports drink bag, 1/2 the bread, sugar packet, water. Knead it very well to a mash. 1 week later you'd have Hooch. Get soused, everybody's drunk, no war.

[@Skarflite]

Frank's Red Hot. They have this tag line "I put that sh!t on anything" (! and all), and I do. They sell this buffalo sauce. Its thicker and a little milder. So good.

[@petersage5157]

If you're "in the field" and you have MREs in your pack, it's a fair bet you also have a canteen and a mess kit. Build a fire with the driest twigs you can find, boil some water in your tin cup, and choke down some food. In my experience, most things that go into MREs can also be eaten in their freeze-dried state (probably so you don't have to light a fire that would reveal your position to the enemy - remember these were engineered as war rations), but don't forget to drink some water with them as well or you'll dehydrate yourself trying to digest them. That pack of sliced pears brought back memories of a pack of dehydrated pears I had when I was in the US Army. The flavor of those juices condensed into a freeze-dried brick knocked my socks off; best memory from any MRE. That purple drink probably tastes purple, like NyQuil. It's one of those flavors that you never forget, and never really leaves your tongue. I can still taste the last dose I had in 1998.

"This just needs vodka added too it" Doesn't everything... 😏

[@dizzym9554]

Franks RedHot is a good sauce. I've never found it *really* spicy except in bulk, but it's got a little burn to it.

[@DomesticWithAnMD]

As someone who buys groceries in Canada, I can confirm that the package of beans is indeed saying that saturated fats make up 16% of the fat content [15%] of the beans and sausage (the same as you alluded to with the British system).

[@jesutherland]

Oh man I LOVE Frank's Red Hot, I use it on eggs with breakfast. So great!

[@oldskoolhead0]

you could put the jam in the museli if you want to use the bun for the main

[@mikedrop4421]

Where's Ralphy? You guys definitely make my favorite MRE proxy taste test duo!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Not a bad MRE, eh?

[@FlatBroke612]

Dwayne Wladyka no doot aboot it b'y. Keep yer stick on the ice!

[@FarrellMcGovern]

Pretty good, eh? Certainly better than the ration packs I got when I was in the Royal Canadian Air Cadets (51st Squadron) in the late 1970s!

[@mr.winters1733]

Oh yah, eh? That fucking innuendo, though 😅

[@JonasC22]

Not bad but could have used some kraft dinner eh, and maybe a jelly doughnut from timmy's to chase...take off you hosehead ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@thekaiser4333]

I like the "PAIN BURGER" How can one top inflicting pain on the enemy? Only by an enemy inflicting pain on his own soldiers.

[@tim2269]

They had small cubes of sterno cubes in the 70s labeled in English Poison and in French Poison.Poisson is French for fish.We heard a French Canadian soldier died thinking he was eating fish

[@monsternovideo2659]

one of these times you'll have to try the mre cookie (pour coffee creamer & suger in one packet mix then light it on fire)

[@Cpt1nsano]

You've morphed into Ashens.

[@pileofstuff]

Nah, this one isn't decades beyond it's "best before" date.

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

Not quite, Clive hasn't yet tried opening a bottle of 180 year old olives ..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZbTfqqLj6iEkMU

[@Henchman1977]

Nah, morphed into Steve1989, and that's OK.

[@andruloni]

Clive doesn't morph into people, he assimilates them

[@maicod]

+Niko Andruloni well said !

[@davenorth1265]

I like the experience of you eating things nearly as much as I like the experience of me eating things. This must be how my dear old Granny felt feeding 8 year old me 4x kipling apple pies covered in angel delight.

[@tablatronix]

redhot is one of the mild generic hot sauces, used with butter in buffalo wings for example. It is not of the blazing rectums variety.

[@steamboatmodel]

Most of the ingredients are from Canadian manufacturers package to Military standards. The last time I had the raisin/ grape drink it tasted like Welches grape juice. It is better than Tang which is rumored was a byproduct of dog food. The Canadian Armed Forces are expected to be intelligent enough to use a stove or find some other way of heating it if they wanted. the main thing about these ration packs are the meals are known ingredients to personal and they have a long shelf life.

[@rossweittenhiller9354]

I like that you used a glencairn glass for the drinks!

[@bigclivedotcom]

Thanks to Ralfy my brother being a whisky buff, there's an excess of them.

[@Spacialvekter]

11:45 Is there something you'd like to share with the class, Clive?
