As a resident of Kazakhstan, I see that there are a lot of misconceptions here. The Kazakh meat breed is used for consumption, no one ever sits on this horse, nothing is transported on it, and no name is given. A horse is slaughtered at the age of two years. Why are we doing this? The thing is that we were nomads and the land here is not very fertile or the summer is too short.
There are many societies that eat horse, no big deal. Let people go hungry for a few days, and I bet they would eat the family horse and not think twice. Reality educates people.
mate they found horse in loads of minced beef based food in the uk...big scandle...but no one even knew until the papers reported it so it must of tasted good
During the UK horse meat scandel, a friend of mine got a burger van, a load of horse meat and made burgers out of them. He then went around the country during the whole scandal selling "100%" horse burgers and the amount of people who decided to give it ago was amazing, they might have had it already in anything meat based in the UK might as well as try the properply advertised stuff. Man made a killing!!
looks like a great ration. lot's of meat, enough crackers to take up all the fat - they may not win a war but they will also not starve. I had no horse meat in 30 years, but I remember it to have been very yummy.
When my uncle enlisted into the army in 1943, they were fed horse meat. He said it was written on the train cars that it was delivered in. Said it was okay.
One thing people don’t realize out on a mission, your squatting emptying out all that fiber, and if rounds go off . Your making it quick carrier back on battle belt and hopefully 🤞🏻 your ready lmao
There was one time in Afghanistan that a machine gun opened up towards our relative direction out of nowhere. That was one of the most terrifying moments of my entire life 😂😂
Horses are livestock, little different from cows, pigs, chickens, etc. They just get better PR. Yeah, I'd eat it. My sister owned horses most of her life. I learned to distrust and avoid them, they can be very dangerous. I see no problem adding them to the food chain.
Yes, better PR for horses, dogs, and cats. People eat piles of cows, pigs, chickens, fish, sheep (small amount in the US). They also often name it so you disassociate it from the animal like beef, pork, lamb.
English doesn't have different names for the meat than the animal to "disassociate" the two. We use Anglo-Saxon words for the animal and French words for the meat thanks to the Norman invasion of 1066. The peasants were raising cattle while the nobles demanded boeuf, for example.
What I love about your reviews is that you keep in mind who these rations are made for. Men and women who NEED the fat and salt. When reviewers critique the contents from a "healthy diet" perspective rather than an energy/survival one, they are missing the point. Would I eat horse meat? Sure. As Americans in particular, we (or the meat lobbyists!) limit ourselves on meat choices, while there are many meats that would help keep more people fed...squirrel, rabbit, frog, more game birds, and yes, horse meat. Raising horses for meat would be no different than raising cows or pigs for meat, but we draw the line at that for some reason. Anyway...great review!
Please note . ANY! Warm blooded animal can be eaten. It all depends on where you were raised and what is available., and how hungery you are .Bon appetite! I believe a famous restaurant in Paris serves it .
I have the green bag one in front of me, everything, even the brand appears the same, my menu is different though. I wondered the same thing about them when i bought this one lol
Hello, RR. It has been several years ago, when I had my only one of these rations. I thought mine had more sides and accessories? I will have to check. The only component I have not tried, is the horse. The Veg. caviar, I like. It works well, mixed into kasha as well. Oh, LOL, It is A little late to warn you, to poke A hole in lid, before boiling cans. I learned that years ago. That lesson stayed with me, as it will you as of now. The horse meat, could not be any more difficult to swallow, than that squid in ink I had. LOL. I would try it as well. Cool review friend. Peace from Ky., John. Great review.
great video, i wish my country would have MRE's so u could check them out but here soldiers used to eat mostly spam while fighting but im not sure what they get now days
How do you get all these rations? I'm in Canada. Ordered a Spanish 24hr ration: REFUSED ENTRY AT BORDER. I won an auction for a German 24 hr ration, REFUSED ENTRY AT BORDER. Ordered a French 24 hr ration, REFUSED ENTRY AT BORDER. So I just gave up.
I have gone down the trail where you might see a horse and a couple of mules and thought well you know not everyone eats at a Macdonalds or a burger King. Might be worse eating at those places.
the weird thing the tea is a british tea manufacture founded in Southampton now based in london the last company i though would be making tea for rations
Hey guys ....fyi..horsemeat is healthy and tastes good .... even in Germany they eat horses, especially made to Bratwurst...but its getting more seldom ...Best regards from a brit in Germany
Stephanopoulos worked on the Michael Dukakis 1988 U.S. presidential campaign.He has noted that one of his attractions to this campaign was that Dukakis was a Greek-American liberal from Massachusetts.Palin said she fired Police Chief Irl Stambaugh because he did not fully support her efforts to govern the city.Stambaugh filed a lawsuit alleging wrongful termination and violation of his free speeches. Stossel argues that individual self-interest, or "greed", creates an incentive to work harder and to innovate. He argues that this innovation makes the poor richer and the only way people "can get rich is to offer us something that we believe is better than we had before."
Although I’ve never eaten horse meat before, I’m willing to eat it, as long as it is slaughtered and prepared in halal manner. Incidentally, halal slaughter for animals such as horses or camels, the slaughter technique is called “nahhr” (نَحر), rather than the technique for animals such as cows, sheep, goats, etc. which is called “dhabhh” (ذَبح).
I'm fine trying anything that has already been prepared. The horse was already canned regardless of how I feel about it. I'm not a fan of the practice of horse for food personally. The rest of the world may not have the luxury to pick and choose what they will and will not eat in the way we do here in North America.
@@ReadinessRations In Kazakhstsn horse meat is more expensive than beef or lamb, tho not significantly. Why is it consumed? Because it's a traditional food of Kazakhs. It's also consumed in many European and Asian countries.
I really hope you don't end up sick , the quality control with these rations are probably not very good so hope you don't get any parasites eating that stuff !!

No hate, I'm scandanavian, we eat goats.

While horse meat is common around the world, this would be a toughy for me. Well done, RR!
You can buy horse meat in Canada, esp Quebec. I saw it in Nova Scotia stores but there were outraged complaints and it's rare now.

I ate salami in Norway made from horse and sheep.
It tasted quite different from salami made from beef and pork but it was absolutely eatable.
Yes, better PR for horses, dogs, and cats. People eat piles of cows, pigs, chickens, fish, sheep (small amount in the US). They also often name it so you disassociate it from the animal like beef, pork, lamb.
Did you guys eat your sisters horses?

Gotta be honest, hearty and savoury beats sweets for me. Great video, my man!
I much rather have fat and protein then sugar.
Good job! You’re a brave soul to try the horse meat.
Ps. I like the LOTR poster in the background, I had one as a kid, many years ago!

I like to try new things so I'd be up for horse meat; seems like it would be a lot better fresh and grilled over canned though.
Enjoying your presentations young man! Subscribed!
Thanks for the support!
The French MRE was the best i've tasted
Great review and ration keep up the good work bud
The crackers can be ures as replacement plates for body armor
the russian tomato pure is pretty good
great video, i wish my country would have MRE's so u could check them out but here soldiers used to eat mostly spam while fighting but im not sure what they get now days
What country??
Great video brother, I think I’m going to buy of those ❤️
Mate would love to know where you you would be able to source some of these more exotic rations,Thank you for any advice.
Well presented mate ,definitely an eye opener!!
Silver ? Phar Lap? Black Beauty ? Trigger, Mr. Ed ??? NOOOoooooooooooooooooooo !
LOL. The horse meat was happy to see you!
Awesome video brother. Ty for your videos
What bothers me most about this ration is no cold drinks.. it bothers me when rations don't have cold drinks..
How do you get all these rations?
I'm in Canada. Ordered a Spanish 24hr ration: REFUSED ENTRY AT BORDER.
I won an auction for a German 24 hr ration, REFUSED ENTRY AT BORDER.
Ordered a French 24 hr ration, REFUSED ENTRY AT BORDER.
So I just gave up.
GREAT REVIEW!
Borat would eat this MRE😂😂😂❤
Horse is available in just about any grocery store in Europe.
unfortunately not, it needs a specialised butcher in most places.
I have gone down the trail where you might see a horse and a couple of mules and thought well you know not everyone eats at a Macdonalds or a burger King. Might be worse eating at those places.
that was very good i hope oyu continue
their was a reason ppl could substitute horse as beef several years ago in eu
Iv had horse tacos and steak in mexico a few years back. It is good.
One more great video Readi !! Ya i would eat the horse meat .. depends how hungary i am 🤣
the weird thing the tea is a british tea manufacture founded in Southampton now based in london the last company i though would be making tea for rations
Horse juice!? Well they better not show you where that lemonade is made, sweet lemonade!
Thank you bro
I skipped directly to the horse meat consumption part of the video. Does that make me a bad person?
Hey guys ....fyi..horsemeat is healthy and tastes good .... even in Germany they eat horses, especially made to Bratwurst...but its getting more seldom ...Best regards from a brit in Germany
Love me some canned 🐴
I'm surprised with the lack of vegetables in the whole ration, just the vegetable caviar.
The Kazakh ration hasn't changed much from the 2018 version. Still very basic, only now everything is in one bag instead of 3 connected bags
Hello! My name is Borat.
Yummy
Horse meat yes, yes 👍👍
Getting a ration with stewed horse meat must do wonders for morale..lol
It'd make me wanna hurt some people, for sure... 😂
No whitener. Only one coffee. Weak coffee. Pitiful. Horse juice! Was it white? 😂 Excellent review! Big like! Thank you for sharing. Blessings 🙏🏼👍🏼
dope
It is legal to eat horse in the US
Some states outlaw the sale of horse meat. IT ISN'T A FEDERAL LAW!
surprised customs let it in with FDA regulations
It's dangerous to use hot water in a glass, you're supposed to use ceramic
Ceramic doesn't display the item very well. It's a risk I'm willing to take for better video.
Dangerous? Do you see what this guy eats? Lol
@@ReadinessRations i think the Irish have special tea glasses if you must use glass
1 KAZAKH
I hope i never get that dam hungry
