What's Inside A 24-Hour Slovenian Combat Ration?

[@207LW]

You can learn a lot about a country by what they put in their MRE packs. They always have things that are meant to be comforting. It shows what foods are important to the national culture.

[@ExcludedShadow]

I had never thought of it that way. Thank you for the new perspective

[@ShadeyLadey]

I don't see that with the US rations. With other countries I do though. other countries seem to put more care into their rations.

[@zeldahylia8549]

​@@ShadeyLadey US rations look like cafeteria food.

[@tiarkrezar]

I'd say the only typical slovenian things in there are the golaž, fish spread, honey and those vitamin candies. Otherwise it's just a bunch of commercially available products, most of them likely imported.

[@207LW]

@@tiarkrezar well that’s 4 things out of it..or is that the name of the fish spread, that’s 3. Tuna is pretty universal as is that kind of gum. It doesn’t necessarily have to be made there to be comforting to the citizens. For example, Coca Cola snd McDonald’s are comforting to millions of people around the world, but they are American…pizza too.

[@MadsRadXO]

I cannot explain why I love these so much.. but man, the excitement I get for new ration videos is UNMATCHED 🤗🤗🤗

[@emmymade]

🧡

[@Samidooble]

Exactly how I feel

[@Evilshamy]

I love them soo much I wish she’d do more it’s always a treat when she posts them!

[@ar1439]

Emmy, I've been watching you for such a long time, and I am so grateful for you. I have learned so much about the world through the lens of food from your curious, respectful, and whimsical explorations. Love it!

[@emmymade]

Aww...and thank you for the kind words and for sticking with me through the years. Thank you, thank you.🧡🧡🧡

[@ClanImprobable]

What a wonderfully-phrased comment!

[@tjascerovac4143]

First of all I did not even know that my country has such a thing and second of all thank you for making this video. I've been watching your channel for about five or six years now and I'm so happy to see you mention Slovenia! Thanks and greetings from Istra, Slovenija xx

[@neki203]

All the armed forces have this

[@sagew1312]

I really appreciate how respectful you are. Even in ones where you don't enjoy something you are still very respectful. I also like that in your videos you're expressive. I have half hearing so it helps when I'm reading subtitles.

[@Atrucl]

It's finally nice to see, what my Country's MRE Pack includes. You can get the Vitergin candies in many flavours, and is loved by young and adults. Would like to see more typical Slovenian Dishes and not only the Gulash ( fun fact: also good over fresh Fries). Strange, that the ration doesn't include Coffee, because we really do "live" of off Coffee. But very nice to see our MRE for the 1st time even as a Slovene myself. And for the Delamaris spread with tomatoes, Slovene people love it, that's why it's included, but Delamaris has a huge variety of options and flavours.

[@ginaloscutoff2023]

Kako si? Definantly nice! Is that Delmaris spread? I thought it was "Eekra" or eggplant relish..and where is the the" Coffetta"?😂

[@Atrucl]

@@ginaloscutoff2023 Delamaris is specifically with fish, they do different fish spreads and/or even canned fish with vegetables, which is loved by the Balkans. As for the Coffee and why it wasn't included, i'm also wondering the same :D

[@alexshaw8167]

It’s so exciting to see Slovenians in the comments ❤🇸🇮

[@Ellerion2]

I'd love to see some irish cream flavoured barcaffee coffee packs in these MREs.

[@blarfroer8066]

From what I know, it's not uncommon for a sergeant to bring fresh coffee for his squad. So maybe that's why this ration doesn't have coffee in it.

[@KNPrince]

When Emmy does a MRE video I find that I must have something to eat while I watch. It's just a golden rule while watching her go through the food in the ration.. otherwise I am totally hungry by the end of the video!

[@alysonmorgan5011]

Love your MRE videos!! I binged your whole playlist when I started watching your videos. I find them so fascinating! FYI - American "Smarties" are Canadian "Rockets" 😊 and I love them!

[@emmymade]

🚀🚀🚀

[@jaybrown4753]

Raindrop cake!!!!

[@shannondore]

It's always fun to see what other countries have in their MREs. This one had a pretty good variety in it.👍🏻😊

[@haylz27]

I absolutely love when you do MRE videos! I still go back sometimes and watch your MRE videos from years ago. :) Have a great weekend Emmy!

[@amberrodriguez1740]

I love your MRE videos!! I felt like this one was a bit rushed though. I think maybe because it was a lot of little video cuts and we couldn’t see the full opening of an item. It just felt like it was rushing to the next thing. Anyway, I always look forward to your videos, especially the MRE ones ❤️

[@Rainielovealways]

I thought the same thing, plus she didn't eat the chocolate (unless i missed it) or the honey.

[@rachaelhoffman-dachelet2763]

I love these MRE videos. You should do camping food too! I’m an avid canoe camper and often go for long trips, 12 days with no resupply. There has been an absolute revolution in the diversity and quality of camping meals in my life time. Some are good enough I actually use them at home! I had a freeze dried black bean soup for lunch just yesterday for instance. Anyway, great video, keep up the good work.

[@dragovidic]

You forget to taste honey. Also in Slovenia we put honey into tea. Thanks for video!

[@florianb81]

wow another ration. those are always interesting and entertaining. Hope you dear Emmy (and everyone else reading this) have a wonderful weekend

[@kms32690]

Emmy! I miss you and that’s because I stopped watching you, not because I don’t like your content anymore but idk, life just happens and I switched to a different youtube profile so you weren’t in the algorithm but happy to watch again now!

[@kristine_nyc]

This was so interesting and fun to watch! And thank you for the Rosetta Stone discount...my husband signed up right away as a Father's Day gift to himself :)

[@phillipspotts]

Couldn’t resist the discount Emmy! Can’t wait to start using it before my second trip to Japan - thank you!! ❤

[@JimsKitschKitchen]

Thanks for blessing us two days a week!!!

[@emmymade]

You are most welcome. 👊🏼

[@JimsKitschKitchen]

@@emmymade love ya ❤️❤️

[@frankoceazz]

Been feeling a bit defeated lately, et voila! Only Emmy to make my day a whole lot better. ❤

[@chelsye4929]

I LOVE how you explain all the flavors and textures of everything. I found you awhile back and fell in love with all your videos, but I have actually changed the way I describe food to people because of your videos

[@Crodmog83]

Emmy has such a soothing voice. I love listening to her as I doze off to sleep.

[@stef1lee]

Awesome! I watched your jet pack kick in 😂 Lmbo! I love watching you. I never know what I'm gonna get.

[@TheShewolf_95]

After so many days. Thank you so much. ❤

[@coriharding-l8]

Love the MRE videos!!! My favorite ❤️😊

[@emmymade]

Yay!!!

[@indiafox5786]

Emmy, I've been sick and in the hospital for a while. We're trying to find out why am i suddenly having these seizures...its happened twice. Both times I've fallen and hit my head.i almost bit my tongue off. Now, We hired or drink anything without extreme. Thank you for being a wonderful person.

[@ErnieB]

Interesting meal pack. Thanks for posting. Your US smarties are called "rockets", up here in Canada. You mentioned a small packet of sundries, at 1:32. Would that have contained condiments, like salt and pepper, for the foods that might have benefited from a bit of extra seasoning? I only ask because I didn't see where you unpacked it.

[@maryjobaham4680]

I love these MRE tasting videos! They're my favorite!

[@anjaunfiltered]

I’ve been watching your MRE videos for so many years and you finally tried one from my country! Amazing

[@grizzdell]

When i watch Emmy's videos i do not skip ads. She always gives respectful, calming and very educational content it doesn't matter if it is about food! Safe place, i hope you keep up the great work, E. 🌹 Greetings from México.

[@KHolstege]

I love these MRE videos! So interesting!

[@jodibaas6954]

This is so cute Thank you 💖🙏🏻💖 Funny that it's from Slovenia my daughter visited there last week!!!

[@ftw7026]

Oh my gosh I've missed these type of videos! They are awesome!

[@erzvolnes]

If you love those little Smarties-like Vitamins you should give 'Refreshers' a go, if you can get hold of them! They're a candy we have over here in the UK that are kind of similar to Smarties you have, but sour and fizzy! They come in fruit and citrus flavours and were my absolute favourite as a kid!

[@kallen868]

We have candy something like that here in the U.S. called Zotz. 😋

[@bridgettewasem08]

I absolutely love watching your taste tests and how detailed you are in explaining how it all tastes. It's almost like I can taste it myself .. And I love watching people try MREs thank you for sharing ❤️

[@BetzaidaGarcia-s5q]

Love You emmy ❤

[@mckpat03]

Alright, let’s get this out onto a tray. Nice!

[@lancerevell5979]

Good hiss!

[@Alaytheia]

Lmfao my first thought exactly! 😂😂

[@marik002]

Hi! Been enjoying your videos since the beginning (baby Emmy). Thank you for sharing your sponsorship with Rosetta Stone. I remember wanting it when I was little, you know when it wasn’t digital lol. My parents always said it was too expensive. I’m excited to finally get to try it out!

[@daltonharkey932]

YESS! These videos are always a treat 😊

[@Pic.em4]

Man did I miss these! So relaxing and satisfying

[@robylove9190]

This MRE seems to taste better than most. Thanks, Emmy ❣️

[@lancerevell5979]

A killer collab would be Emmymade with Readiness Rations. He has good onscreen energy too.

[@getitherething.2653]

Emmy I wonder if you’d consider doing a a-z cooking meals from around the world?

[@kingklump]

These are my favorite videos that you do! Thanks for these!

[@baydrive]

I replayed three times just to listen to your candy reaction, a growly "wow"! haha

[@sarahwilson5197]

Nice meeting you at TJs today, fellow Rhody!

[@hiro1001]

Ration taste test! Some classic Emmy content ❤

[@katetomlinson1638]

i was wondering why your videos never popped up, i mustve hit u subscribe at some point! we’ll definitely subbed again!

[@facistbuster]

So much yummy stuff in that bag, nice and instructive video. Have a good day Emmy. Bon appétit.

[@CATTYNESS1]

Love these videos, thank you. More MREs please :)

[@ClanImprobable]

I love these ration videos, thank you Emmy!

[@AshleyNebs]

I love these videos I learn so much about other counties.

[@megatronisfun]

emmy how could you forget to eat the chocolate?? thats the best part! I still loved seeing a new ration video :)

[@ulysses3148]

Let's get this sat out onto a tray.. Nice..!

[@ligokleftis]

just a note, i think it’d be awesome if you added up the calories in these packs! would love to know what they consider to be enough in 24 hrs for a soldier

[@justinwinsbro7770]

I’ve never been this early to a video! Emmy , you’re one of my favorite KZbinrs ever

[@advertiserfriendlyusername5362]

Hey all y'all! Emmy's doing MRE's again! BTW, is this a repeat or a re-do?

[@emmymade]

Nope, first time tasting a Slovenian ration.

[@schlieffenska]

I'd love to see you and Steve 1989 do a ration video together! That would be epic!!

[@williammitchell4417]

Both have a lot of enthusiasm. Steve somehow brings a little more experience to what he's talking about.

[@Ellerion2]

Except Steve sometimes brings out some VERY expired, borderline inedible ww2 or ww1 ration packs... I'd rather not force her to try those particular ones...

[@meclizinemizuho6163]

i love your MRE vids 🤙 ❤️

[@martinpavelka3546]

We're lucky enough to have an enormous international market not far from our house and they sell a collection of those Slovenian pates in the small cans--they're very nice to keep in the pantry when the mood strikes.

[@crakerjacker2005]

Maybe the creamer is for the tea? Some people from the UK and Europe add milk or cream to their tea.

[@jennieb7966]

Love seeing the mre videos

[@VibrantLight709]

Your smarties candies are known as “rockets” in Canada. A Halloween favorite!

[@teeych]

Whoopaaa, never thought I'd see my home country here

[@Tropic101x]

Missed your MRE videos!

[@Ironman-jd3do]

Emmy my fav foodie lady! Keep up the EPIC work girl!

[@GPwithme]

I love your ration videos! Also, not to be shallow or anything but your hair looks extra pretty today. 😊

[@FromMyKitchentoYoursWithLove]

Thanks for sharing! Interesting...🙂

[@Irish1Eric]

Awesome sauce. Love the MRE vids

[@Scribbleshow]

Maybe they have some other kind of access to coffee, like something in trucks or that’s carried around separately? So they just need the creamer in their ration to use per their preference?

[@Alaytheia]

Alright. Let's get that onto tray. Nice

[@charlesperez9976]

Emmy,you are a delight 😊

[@ScottHillEnglish]

Let's get this out onto a tray...nice.

[@christinegreywolf]

It's funny that the person who bought it for you warned you about it having a laxative effect. I know from experience that the oatmeal bar in the US MRE's was called by everyone I served with (sorry in case this is offensive to anyone ) the oatmeal butt plug. Meaning it was designed to constipate you. After all while fighting they do not want you to have to run back and forth to the toilet. Not to mention there may not be one handy.

[@Angelvanngster]

Oh how I miss these vids 🫶🏼

[@Etnukat]

Why did you cut so much and make it soooo unbelievably fast-paced? Q.Q we really enjoy your longer videos

[@akira1427]

Os it weird that i found out that your voice is very relaxing

[@gorbaggoescamping]

As always, I thoroughly enjoyed an Emmy ration taste test!

[@paprikamerah]

nice thank you for sharing the vidio

[@Ellerion2]

Where did you manage to lose rhe coffee pack? You pulled out both coffee and creamer from the bag... No matter, your review got me itchy to get one of these for myself; type C, but not just for trying. The tuna pate you had had tomatoes inside that gave it the sweet tinge. We call that "turistična pašteta" or tourist pate in english. I also love the crispy bread, whatever flavour i can get. I wish we got these when i was serving in the 1995-1996 but we didn't have these yet back then.

[@irishpsalteri]

I love this.

[@alexanderdumas870]

this is like a far, far better and more food safe version of a Russian or Belarussian MRE with friendlier looking packaging that had a baby with a US MRE. No coffee is a fail but you could probably add some creamer to the muesli to make it richer. Whole MRE could definitely benefit from a packet of mayonnaise, too! Poke the tuna can with something sharp to drain it, and mix it with the pepper packet that comes with the utensils and the mayo packet in the can for MRE tuna salad. They even have something like that in the US MRE's, lemon pepper tuna I'm pretty sure.

[@fyrbornxtg5000]

That's crazy , Rosetta stone is still around 😅that's some olden days advert ,back when people watched TV ,I think it came with a free tiger poster 😉

[@Drejcxxx]

Lep pozdrav iz slovenije 😊

[@ihave7631]

Emmy we call USA Smarties Rockets here in Canada. Rockets are popular Hallowe’en treats.

[@lauramaldonado5591]

Yay I love these Military Ration videos❤

[@eTraxx]

The one thing that is always missing from people tasting MREs is .. hunger. One constant in the field .. at least with many/most soldiers is that you have been up since like say 5 am .. working hard all morning and are starving. A MRE tastes MUCH better then ... hunger being the best spice.

[@Staniele]

As a Slovenian, I am not surprised that there is honey inside of there..

[@charllandsberg]

Those bready crackers are amazing with butter and marmite/vegemite and cheese.

[@CanadaGirlParis]

Canadian here. We have those candies as well, what you know as Smarties we call Rockets. And of course our Smarties are similar to M&Ms (but better lol).

[@dejanjordan]

Well holly smokes greetings from Slovenia, I had a shitload of these whilst serving and I must say they are great considering other countries...
