    I was in Helsinki in a 100+ year old "all you can eat" place and they served buffet style reindeer, mash, pickle. That was one of the best experiences in my life, freezing and snow outside and fresh reindeer food inside. Nordics are on another level with their home style cooking.

    Reindeer has the consistency of a really good veal, the taste is somewhat akin to beef, but with a bit "deeper" flavor. The rich flavors work really well with those lingonberries etc. Anything that has a bit acidity to balance the richness of the reindeer !

That stew pack you got in that MRE is a nice brand. You can buy just the stew packs, in several different flavours, at different sporting goods stores. I usually buy the one you reviewed since its so good.

      Real, who makes these packs, also produces these same packs for the civilian market. So they have to make them edible :) In fact, all of these ingredients are commercial goods available on the civilian market. Except the protein bars. So I' d guess that's how they can keep the prices down.
      I got one of these real freeze dried packages on a forest fire excersise. had been up for 24 hours, with just two slices of bread to eat so far. That was the best meal I have ever had! Pasta bolognese. I wolfed that down so fast! Fell a sleep with the package still in hand.
      I still sometimes by these packs as dinner, because they're so good!
      Been trying to get a hold of an old Norwegian 24 hour ration from the 1950's for you to review. they are so cool! I had one in 1995, and the cookies still held up :)

      It's a lot more common than you'd expect, but not common enough to be on purpose. The thing is - a lot of times the "extra" you'd get wasn't an extra, it just replaced something else; what's worse is what you got was a lot of times worse than what you should have gotten.

    The main meal here is produced by a commercial outdoors meal producer, and they are available to buy in sports goods stores, only difference is that the wrapping is orange. Some of the meals are really really good.
    When I was in the army, they hadn't done the green packaging yet, so we were dealt orange Spaghetti Bolognese, Cod Stew etc. We were having good dinners every day in the field. In fact, better than in camp.

    i've had that exact meal while on duke of edinburgh. bought it at a mountain sports shop in germany. it is a commercially available pre-packaged meal that they've just bought and put in their mre. saves them time and effort to outsource many of the things in them from civilian stores. and yes, it really did taste awesome :D best thing i had with me, other than an instant strawberry cheesecake which i ate dry (it was better that way)

    • @Bodomi
      @Bodomi 2 роки тому +2

      Drytech is the parent company of REAL and was started in 1989 in Norway. The MRE's are composed of both products that they make themselves and outsourced products that are packaged in REAL branded packaging, and some that aren't in REAL branded packaging.
      REAL, or Drytech more accurately, is the official supplier of MREs to the Norwegian army and have been for 2 decades now I think and they also supply products to 20 other countries.
      They commercially sell the single freeze-dried meals and their energy bars, the MRE packs that you can sometimes find in stores are surplus quantity and not made to be commercially sold originally, only if surplus exists.

    • @TheKurtandCoreyShow
      @TheKurtandCoreyShow 7 років тому +37

      Food coloring is added to make the food brighter and more appealing to the eye. The food tends to lose color when it's preprocessed and looks generally unappetizing. It's most prevalent in candies and food aimed at children since kids are drawn to bright colors.

    if anyone haven't mentioned it already.. If you look at the bottom of the main dish pack there is some marks showing that the bottom can be pulled apart, making the pack stand upright and making stirring a lot easier. It's is really hard to pull apart, so a knife comes in handy. try it next time, just do it before you open the top.. Some years ago 3 of these real mre's where nested and was 3500 calories. The standard store-bought main dish rations are the same price as other freeze dried backpacking food. adventure food, trekneat,mountain horse etc, here in norway that is.

    Hey Steve love the videos, I have a small suggestion. Maybe you could get some ginger like the ones served at sushi places to cleanse your palate in between tastes.
