What do Soldiers Eat for Breakfast?

[@Tadicuslegion78]

I am 100% convinced the McDonalds McRib is made from the same meat product used to make that MRE Sausage patty.

[@copo2835]

Nah, the "Rib Shaped BBQ Pork Patty". It's literally a McRib

[@nicholausedwardwijaya8822]

Tried both and I agree with you completely

[@CAP198462]

McRib = foam board topped with barbecue sauce.

[@terrelllittle7343]

😂😂

[@lancerevell5979]

Soylent Green without the green dye. 😝

[@lawesomematticus]

My buddy would take a heated sausage patty, maple muffin top, peanut butter, and syrup out of the MRE and mix it all together into a pouch. I thought he was crazy until I took a bite of it.

[@pojken-ex7062]

Realist shit ever spoken. That concoction can bring you back from the brink of death.

[@rwandanman1218]

I’m gonna try it

[@ExUSSailor]

Speaking of Italy, you guys should try to get your hands on an Italian ration. Some of them come with a little bottle of cordial alcohol.

[@CaptainJG95]

so theoretically if I drank enough I could charge a machine gun nest drunk? I'm now more curious

Its always a great day when Cam and Izzy appear in my notification bar!

Eggs make breakfast. 100% with Cam on this one

I was sad to see y'all just gloss over the freeze dried coffee! Bill's Brew was a delicacy when I went through BMT 😂

You had coffee?

yo i'm so glad cam brought up the granola, that dried milk blueberry granola was the BEST.

I love that MREs get airdropped to test them before getting shipped

Full English Breakfast, 2 x sausgae, 2 x fried eggs, fried kidneys, 2 x thickfat backbaccon, fried mushrooms, creamy baked beans with plumed tomattoes on top off 2x slices of fried white bread thick cut. Followed with 2 rounds of toast and marmalade and a large mug of Yourkshire tea, builders style i.e. so much sugar you can stand the spoon upright on its own.

[@kevinborish]

Idk if you tried it but you have to do the breakfast hashbrown one. That meal heated up is amazing.

[@xragnah6848]

I can easily watch you guys for hours keep it up fells yous are killing it

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

I have to say, a lot of the new menus are pretty solid, still love the older menus of meatloaf, beef stew, and all those, but thank Odin that the Vomelette doesn't exist anymore!!!

[@Maria_Erias]

It's funny, because I grew up eating the old MREs from the 80s as a kid because my dad would pick up cases of them for us to take with us hiking, hunting, camping, shooting. So I got to appreciate and love the old ham slices, chicken a la king, beef stew, spaghetti and meatballs. Then as an adult, I got to try out the "new" (for then) MREs from the 2000s and they were a huge step down.

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

@@Maria_Erias Yeah some menus are just a tossup, definitely like some of the older ones over newer ones, but some of the new ones aren't bad at all. Kinda sad they don't have the hotsauce in them anymore though.

[@null643]

​@@Maria_EriasI bet they didn't put as much crap ingredients in them back then? Now its things like soy, corn syrup and more in everything, list is too long to name.

[@Maria_Erias]

@@null643 You're probably right. I remember them not being bad at all. The ham slices really did just taste like Spam, which is just pork, salt, water, and sodium nitrate, pretty much. And the chicken a la king was pretty simple, but hearty. My favorites were the fruitcake and maple nut cake, though. They were super dense and slightly chewy rather than crumbly. Then you got the freeze-dried fruits, either peaches or mixed fruit, that came in bar form. Good for eating as they were, as I rarely rehydrated them.

[@bycoxtax8562]

In the Mediterranean countries we have light breakfast, heavy meal and light dinner, although some have a heavy dinner also

[@existenz_svk2639]

My breakfast is actually really light. I mostly eat oat porridge with something (usually apple and cinnamon or chocolate) and it works well,or light pastry with tea. Also Slovak 24h MREs that are avaible to civilians too contain lunch,dinner,but also breakfast. Its mostly rice pudding with something like cinnamon,vanilla, cardamon. Or an oat porridge with chocolate,fruits,etc.. I havent eaten the breakfast meals yet but heard they are quite good.

[@losttraveler9845]

This was always my favorite MRE while on active.

[@recon1986]

Dude when I was in the marines I loved the chicken n dumplings mre and the brisket. I used to get those all the time

[@Sgt_Potato_1]

You guys should have warmed up that pork patty. When I was in they got this the last year I was active, so I got this one a bunch and it was delicious. I warned up the patty, put it on the muffin top, and drenched it in table syrup. The muffin top with the patty... I'm telling you. Gotta try it.

warning the patty is important

I’ve always felt weird when it comes to MREs. I went to basic in 1995. We still were getting the old dark brown MREs with no heaters. Even at my first unit we got heaters separately for awhile. Yet I always loved them. I mean they were way better when you could heat them. I even liked the old school omelet with ham. As long as you knew to crumble it up before opening it and add the whole Tabasco. And hopefully you could warm it. But it was good. And the frankfurters? Yum. Some I liked more than others sure. But I always thought they were great.

[@ol-Sarge]

For me (in my day) was the C ration: Diced ham and eggs. I ever understood why the MRE versions don’t come with a breakfast menu.

[@labcdel4384]

these two dudes are so awesome

[@b.kenobi9063]

Breakfast MRE! I knew something was missing, and by God I can’t believe I never thought of it! I think a normal breakfast needs to be big, nutritious, and most importantly easy-to-digest. You don’t realize just how important breakfast actually is when you catch gastritis from it. 😵‍💫 Cereal-and-porridge-like stuff, scrambled eggs, toast varieties, fruit, hash, hot cakes, to name a few. Obviously, some people need some kind of breakfast meat (bacon 🙄) which I take no position on, as long as its FDA approved.

[@kilnareth7970]

I really would like to see your reactions on mikeburnfire's campfire stories. Zach has a lot of spicy stories while he was in the military.

[@johnnycashfan3398]

I’d love to see a series where you two react to incredible and old war stories it would be a appreciation to those who came before you two could call the series’s War Legends or something like that.

[@carsonkouts]

I remember straight up drinking the syrup packets for the sugar to stay awake

[@GidgetKillman]

Brutal honesty: the maple sausage patty was definitely in my top 5 favorite MREs!

[@CampocraftSurvival]

Jalapeño cheese spread is the best! Have you ever had to work along side mortars? If so, have you ever had to work with one because you left your cac in another country?

[@all1nerd377]

CRUNCY peanut butter, honey, banana in a wrap, a small bowl of muesli, with coffee steaming beside it all. Perfection.

[@lancerevell5979]

I missed MREs. My first hitch, USAF 1976-1980, once they had a bunch of us slogging through the swamp looking for a dropped ECM pod. For lunch, they gave us C-rats. Second hitch, US Navy 1980-1986, we had a long day of firefighting and gas chamber training. And again, we were given C-rats. I guess they had to use them up before issuing the new MREs. So I discovered the pleasures of MREs later in civilian life. 😎

[@ABadassDragon]

You need to try classical European breakfast of a cigarette and black sugarless coffe!

[@ShiiitIDK]

😆the crunch sound on the meat patty.

[@jasonbailey9302]

The Biscuits and Gravy MRE was fire

[@Jerec_Kets]

Funny enough, I come back to these MRE meals to see the reactions to the meals but I love the guys talking about the presentation of the food. I grew up a little poor up here in Michigan and some of the things even I wouldn't want to eat looking at them. Don't get me wrong, some of the meals Ive had from MREs are actually pretty damn good but damn do they make them look unappetizing.

[@AlexKS1992]

I might try a cigar and a cup of coffee as my breakfast sometime although you won’t see me dipping or drinking Monster.

Breakfast has to have. Eggs bacon. For a quick to go breakfast. Sit down to eat. pancakes, hash browns, eggs, bacon, a small bowl of fruit, toast, coffee, and then a big fat joint.

[@frankmaurer9152]

In the eighties, I remember the pork patty was dehydrated, and you could reconstitute it with either cold or hot water (hardly available), but hey on an FTX, who really gave a $h!t.🤣

[@harleywhatman1493]

You guys need to try Australian MREs , i tried some my uncle had left over from Vietnam and they were still ok

[@jamesthomas5895]

As an old Marine, we had the good old tried a true C ration, I did like the ham and eggs, that did look like dog food, and all the fruits you could steal out of someone else's rations when they weren't looking. LOL The canned fruit in heavy syrup was always good to go. LOL

[@Oeraja]

Watched this while eating breakfast

[@Jmak4Life]

You tried the syrup on both of them, but you should have tried the patty, the muffin top, and syrup all in one bite, like a makeshift McGriddle without the egg

I have a question: this amount of (reduced) calories seems not enough to keep a soldier well fed and through the day, or am I wrong? Is it enough to feed your body right? or is it more like in and out? like burned as fast as you ate it? because obviously before that change the amount of calories per mre was higher?

Please bring back the time you tried MREs of different armies

So, I just got back from a vtuber channel by the name of "OniGiri" and it seems she did a video on MREs. It's fun to see people across the spectrum cover this subject. Her shtick is cooking, it seems. Anyway, uh, she may need your help in the ways of the MRE.
