Veggie BURGER MRE -- Menu 12 -- U.S. Meal-Ready-to-Eat Ration Taste Test

[@rockyraab8290]

Your comment about anything tasting good when you're hungry is spot on, Emmy. That's what folks forget about MREs - they aren't restaurant food. But when you're 50 miles from anywhere, an MRE is the best food for 50 miles.

[@Arella17]

Yeah I have a friend who had to live off MRE's for a few years. His dad was military and would bring them home. He said they were better than starving.

[@dt-hf8vz]

i ate a decent amount of these as a kid and i actually enjoyed them very much from what i remember. but maybe it was just me knowing i had something to eat

[@an-wy3gh]

Yes. Imagine in middle of w ar

[@missball404]

exactly

[@kimberlys8422]

I'm from Florida and after hurricane Ivan we had to eat MRE's. They weren't _that bad_

[@tynicole88]

She’s such an intelligent and likable woman. I enjoy her videos and her honest reviews. You’re brave for the things you eat, I live vicariously through you because I couldn’t do it lol

[@lyallp4589]

True! And I love that she never judges people who eat things that might be perceived as "weird" to eat. And yeah she is so honest! Too many youtubers exaggerate their reaction to things they eat/watch/whatever to be more entertaining and she is a proof that you don't need to do that for your videos to be fun to watch.

[@babydublin01]

I agree. It's one of the reasons I watch her videos.

[@TrekJohnDoe]

Tyiana Sedan she is a great hostess.

[@shawnsisler3743]

When my #2 son joined the Marines I just knew he would starve. He would not eat any food that touched another food, wouldn't try anything new, wouldn't eat anything "weird", wouldn't eat/drink after anyone...lol He came home and now there isn't anything he won't try, eats after people, and doesn't even flinch when it comes to drinking after his son...lol It's great.

[@healinggrounds19]

That was my little brother in the Navy! It certainly broadens their palate!!

[@aniaraguz]

I must be tired because I just kept reading this as $2 son and I could NOT figure it out 😅

[@donna6368]

As the mother of a Marine too, please tell him I said "thank you" for his service.❤

[@sarahr7890]

2nd might be a better choice than #2...

[@sanityisrelative]

@@sarahr7890 idk. If he was that picky as a kid and his sibling wasn't I can see how he would be #2.

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING

[@MoFerocio]

@@BenjaminGooseLOL

[@oreoprincess93]

The moment you doused that veggie burger in hot sauce is the moment I realized why my dad (who was in the military for 25 years) drowns all of his food in hot sauce lol

[@alize0623]

oreoprincess93 my grandfather and my fiancé’s father both served in Desert Storm and they drown ALL their food in hot sauce! I always assumed it was a military thing

[@stephenking1218]

Actually it was a bathroom thing. We got used to dousing our MREs in hot sauce when we were close to a bathroom, because the MRE without it bound us up so we didn't have to dig a hole and put a cheek on the ETool. The Tabasco sauce became a symbol of luxury, of easy time with a bathroom nearby

[@tippib2222]

A BBQ vegetarian is what happens when I go out in the sun and forget my sunblock.

[@LazyCookPete]

I recommend factor 30 BBQ sauce.

[@Seabacon346]

[@MrHenrikAndersson]

And you probably taste as bad as one.

[@applecinnamon]

The auto captions translated “itadakimasu” in “meet the lucky moss” and “eat the lucky mouse” I’m hyperventilating 😂

Aaaaww, I hope I will meet the lucky moss on my next stroll through the forest! 😀

[@poulomepanja4068]

I love how she keeps everything real and includes certain bloopers which other KZbinrs would simply leave out to make it look perfect. Well, this makes her more humane and relatable.

[@merlemorrison482]

shake the flame less heater to help with complete heating - also a pinch of salt will energize old heaters

I’m also 30 and felt triggered as I just bought a box of the Costco brand which by the way are delicious 🤤 😋🤣

You're not alone, I'm 42 and think they're delicious. I buy them and have no children 😂

am i the only one who loves these videos also because its oddly satisfying how she tries everything and it is very relaxing lol

[@ashleydeloach3574]

Love watching your MRE videos. Even when something tastes awful, you still have something nice to say.

[@sadshenanigans1403]

Uhhhh. The way you lit the match it was nearly life changing. This was one of those moments that I relize I have been doing something wrong my whole life.

[@catcher0]

literally same

[@InfinityOnRhi]

I came to the comments to see if anybody else had never seen someone light a match like that lol

[@NatohDine]

Wait... how else did you light it?

[@InfinityOnRhi]

@@NatohDine just strike it against the strike pad without any pinchy thing

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

​@@InfinityOnRhiBack when book matches were everywhere that was the cool way to do it. Works for amputees too. The Nisei congressman for Hawaii wrote of it in his auto bio. Wish I remembered the name.

I love these videos a lot for when I need to sleep, no that they are boring it's just relaxing. 😊

[@ananymouse3054]

I think the burger was supposed to go with those bread rectangles. I think.

[@Ellemenopea97]

I mean. They kinda just chuck food in a bag, the rules go out the window when you've eaten the same things for years...

[@dt-hf8vz]

yuuuup

[@humangeneric777]

I recently, out of curiosity, sampled a veggie burger from an ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD MRE. It was edible, but not unlike eating styrofoam covered in a diffucult-to-define black sauce. For those who stockpile MREs, be aware they don't improve with age.

[@Mightea_Unique]

I watch your videos when I have too much on my mind b/c you’re so gentle & calming, they make me feel better... & there’s something so interesting about watching you taste these, I can always count on them for much needed distractions lol

[@emilg89]

Your videos are so calming and hypnotizing. I've been watching for hours

[@Jbeaver22]

Those first strike bars come in an apple cinnamon flavor too. They’re amazing 😩

[@shay_box]

I love how you don't edit out the bloopers. Your videos are so enjoyable!

[@LoLoLifeinFlorida]

I love it when you eat something that's not really good but you're trying to give a positive review cuz it's so cute hilarious! Like you're the nicest critic out there!

[@unclejustin7267]

The vegetarian chili MRE is very good.

[@vikingcarousel1295]

Yay new video❤️ Even though I have my pregnancy-nausea where I get easily sick by looking at food, I can’t stop watching your videos. Calms my hormone-filled mood down.

[@myenchantedlife5262]

The shape of the burger was the same as the bread, so I would think they picked that shape on purpose

[@lancerevell5979]

With two pieces of bread, the idea is to make a sandwich. But to each their own.

[@stratchic]

I love MREs! My dad used to be Army and would sometimes bring home mre to play with as kids. I’m still fascinated by how you heat them up.

[@Eludia]

[@angelv.garrett3365]

I can always tell by the Delightful sounds you make how good or Bad something is. You are just too fun!

[@beaut-ful-d-saster]

I imagine that after eating food like this day in and day out for months, one gets a real and honest appreciation for foods that are home cooked and not out of a can. Also foods that have crunch and texture and aren't heavily processed and full of excess salt and sugar.

[@iceman9109]

[@LessThanThree76]

So if the ”zero” at the bottom of the box means it’s made 2010, how do they tell them apart from the ones made year 2000?

[@Dominus_Deus]

Super Moosie a combination of bag design and menu items help date the MREs, too. 2000 would've had a very different bag design.

Hi Emmy, I love your videos. I can literally watch repeats until your new video comes out. Can you make your Strawberry rhubarb pie? I remember you mentioning it. I also was wondering what type of food do you and your family enjoy eating for Christmas? My family is Cuban so we eat traditional roasted pig, congre, yuca with mojo and salad. Much love and God bless. Merry Christmas.

[@mx5hong]

My college roommate was in the Marines and he told me that he used the entree heating bag as a warming device for his sleeping bag during cold weather training. LOL! And that coffee packet looks exactly like the instant coffee packet sold in Korea. The ones I tried also includes the sugar and non-dairy creamer mixed in with the instant coffee. I think that would be really useful for camping. It's super portable and everything is included in one slim package. Just add hot water.
