U.S. Soldier tries a Canadian Individual Meal Pack (IMP) for the first time ever - Pizza Pasta

The first foreign military ration I have tried and man was it amazing! This IMP is hands down way better than any United States MRE ever. OH CANADA!
Big thanks to all the Canadian Army soldiers that sent me an MRE to review! Menu #14 Pizza Pasta was a fantastic IMP to start with.

Easily the best food show going, Tyler is clearly a natural at this stuff. It does give Bob Ross vibes, who was also in the army.

Happy little MREs

​@@canadiangirl2839 which branch of the Canadian military are you in?

[@robertkemp1864]

I am a Canadian Field Artillery Gunner. We don't get issued heaters for our IMPs because part of our section level kit is a Coleman stove and a pressure cooker. We have a designated member of our section that is responsible for boiling water and heating our rations.

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

That’s awesome I just saw a video the other day on that.

[@patricklanglois9771]

got to give love to arty. As an infantry dude I am both scared to death of arty and love my own gunners. in the infantry we do get issued the heaters( 1 per imp ) because most of the time (outside of WInter warfare ) we don't have the time to set up Coleman that is if we even have time to use the heaters. I've eaten more cold IMPs than warm ones. pizza pasta is not one of my fav for two reasons 1) it gives me a bit of heartburn not a big deal in garrison pain in the ass in the field. 2) it has olives, not an olive guy. my go to are spaghetti and meatballs, beef macaroni ( both taste like chief B) and the smoked meat in mustard sauce .

[@lauriea2971]

Im Canadian and when I was in the army we have 2 imps and 1 heat meal a day in the field

[@marcocanb]

Those heater bags are expensive, we can only get so many on our budget.

[@pumkinheadfan]

@@patricklanglois9771 do they still have the worst one, the Salisbury steak.

[@thecanuckredcoat4142]

The thing to remember about Canadian rations is that our food has a much shorter shelf life than the US MRE, but in exchange we have better quality food. A trade off that most people I think would argue is a better morale booster for the troops in the field.

We linked up with the Canadian’s at FOB Masum Ghar in 2010 and traded some MRE’s. Boy was I surprised and delighted to try theirs. They even had salmon ones that were so dang good. We couldn’t talk them into trading beer though 😂.

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

Yea if I had known about these on my deployments I gladly would have traded!

I am a Canadian cadet and we had a trick for the fruit cobbler In the freezing winters of -45•c We would heat up the cobbler and pour it onto snow and wait for it to become a putty like substance and then we would get a popsicle stick and wrap the tar like substance around it and it was so good you should try it.

That WAS a fancy mre. I thoroughly enjoyed this! These videos are super funny and great man keep it up. Youre boosting morale 💯

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

Hey thank you so much!

[@der.Schtefan]

MRE heaters usually work by making magnesium rust, and use sodium and iron particles to speed up the reaction. At the lowest level it is a combination of exothermic rusting sped up by what is essentially a short circuited battery cell (iron, sodium water as electrolyte, magnesium). In a way it is an electrical heater. :). A similar process is employed with those little one-time heating pads for socks: finely powdered Iron particles are exposed to air and start to rust, producing heat.

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

Thank you scientist! Seriously though that was highly informative and interesting! Thanks

[@JayDubb3BCT]

I was surprised to see it wasnt just big bottle of maple syrup! 😮😂

[@Butterworthdasyrup]

You and me both!

[@MarcSherwood]

Maple syrup is part of the medial kit or in a hydration bladder. Medics carry it in IV bags for emergencies,.

[@CF_Sapper]

As someone with almost 20 years in I can assure you, our food has come a very very long way in 25-30 years, some of the stuff in late 90 and early 2000s was....bad. Things got nicknames like lung in a bag, mystery meatlog(not a typo) The stuff we get now is top tier. The packaging has gotten way better as well, as it use to come in a foil lined paper bag and all the meals pouches came in cardboard box, when we got issued them and we going to be dismounted there would be a little gathering where we would field strip the packaging down to meal pouches and what we actually wanted to eat, this is where the trading would happen and usually there was a box of "extra" stuff that we tossed all the stuff we didn't want into and you could go through to see if there was anything you wanted in it, then everything would get loading into our packs usually into a ziplock bag if you were prepared, the foil lined bag rolled up if you weren't or loose in the ruck pockets if you wanted to live dangerously. A few tricks that we do, the new ziplock bag we still open up and pull out all the stuff we don't want but throw in a heaterbag, roll them up tight and reseal them. IF you get time for cooking, the bags make for a great little oven, you put the meal in the heater bag, fold in half, place inside the main bag with everything removed, place the bread(still inside the package) inside the main bag seal it up most of the way so the "steam" can escape, heats up the bread too once your done all the garbage can go back into the bag and you can seal it up to hump it out. A game changer is you opened the meal bag up wrong, should have rotated it 90 degrees and opened it up with a long side up, it can be done with you teeth but obviously a knife works best. Pears is the best dessert, I will die on that hill.

Very interesting. Good infomation and entertainment value. If you go looking for foreign MREs, then one that I quite enjoyed myself, was the Danish 24 hour combat ration No: 05. Chicken in Curry, with Rice. Do keep in mind though, since almost everything in the pack is made by a Danish company, thus it is made for the Danish tastes. Which usually is very much different than the American one.

So the regular Canadian fruit cocktail as served in cans has a high sugar content juice that dulls the fruits tastes. I think it's mostly pear juice. So probably normal for Canadian palettes. Also Kit Kat Chunky bars have more chocolate on the ends, and the layers are different thickness. But normal for Canadians.

[@JimmyShot]

In Canada you actually eat that napkin like you are taking a pill. It expands as it moves though your system and when you pass it you become self wiping. They think of everything!
