I always wonder if Emmy is trying to open it properly or not. The key is to open the peelable seal right in the middle where the seal comes to a point. If you open it at that point it allows you to focus all of the pressure on a small part of the seal. The seal fails fairly often anyway but it helps if you try to open from the right spot.
Since they haven't gusseted the beverage bag, wait until your main entree is heated, then use the cardboard container for that. Pretty sure the bottom folds together to make an stand. But I retired from the army in 2011. So this is new fangled technology and menus to me. 😂
Never heard of beef goulash mre. When I served, the beef ravioli was a favorite. I liked the chicken tetrazini as well. Back in the old days the MREs came with a book of matches and a little bottle of Tabasco sauce.
Youngsters! First gen MREs had dehydrated pucks that were supposed to be pork or beef patties but were more like dog food. And you had to bring your own tobasco sauce! The C Rats were better.
I bet the person that put that lemon-scented towelette in the MRE had no idea it would bring anyone so much joy ever, and for that reason alone I love Emmy.
Yay another MRE! I love watching you describe the flavors. You describe it so well that it's almost like I'm tasting it myself. 7:09 did something happen to the camera? "Stacking wood. Nice."
Goulash is legit my favorite food. My grandpa makes this for birthday meals in my family. We use Wolfgang Puck's recipe with spaetzle and it is AMAZING. Please try out Wolfgang Puck's recipe. You won't regret it Edit: I suppose I should clarify that I'm talking about Hungarian goulash (though Wolfgang Puck is Austrian). Either way NOT American goulash
I'm half Austrian and half Hungarian and really proud of your goulash recipe choice! Wolfgang Puck is an amazing chef and I've tried his recipe too, very similar to my grandma's and simply delicious
I’m near deaf and so rely on the captions to enjoy Emmy’s videos and the captions for when she says “Itadakimasu” where so weird and different every time it took about 10-12 videos before it spelt it right and I understood what it was she was saying every time she went to eat! You don’t want to know how confused I was at the start, thinking “what is this lovely woman saying, she doesn’t look crazy but for this one line!?” I thought it was a competition where different viewers wrote in and got her to say different weird lines each time!?
I discovered Emmy's channel less than 2 weeks ago and I'm hooked beyond insanity. I am watching all her videos and I love her more and more with every single one. I'm seeing on the comments that she has a big army of hardcore fans (e.g.: knowing her faces and reactions when she tastes something)... and I became one of them!
Yea it was great until that one time when mom was jibba jabba on the phone and waaaaay overcooked the macaroni. It somehow turned back into flour in the Goulash and we had to eat gruel. 🤮
the card sleeve..... you open it... you fold the bottom flaps in to make a container. you then slide it over your rolled up frh to keep it sealed while cooking.. simples
My Dad was a wildland firefighter and growing up my mom couldn't drive after dark do we would go to the warehouse (dad's office) to wait for him to come home from a fire. I'll never forget eating MREs for dinner! Back when the cheese and crackers came in a can. Love to watch you Emmy. Keep 'em coming!
I have worked at the Wornick co for 21 years (Nov 23). The company that made your beef goulash MRE. I have tried some of them but I don't work in the same building that the lab is in so I don't get to try them anymore. I was not big on them anyway (not hungry enough). But I like seeing other people enjoy our work. Salute to all of our military women and men, thank you for your service.
Yay new MRE tasting!! I love all your videos but there is just something I love about watching your MRE videos. Keep it up with the always top-notch content! PS. Whenever I see the moist towelette I am just crossing my fingers for Emmy that it's a Lemon scented one!!
I'm from maine and my nana used to make a dish she called "american chop suey" which people in other states say is goulash. It was elbow macaroni, onion, green pepper, ground beef and Campbells tomato soup. I still make it for my family today!
This is great timing. I grew up eating traditional Hungarian Goulash and after recently going vegetarian, I decided to try and adapt the recipe. Much to my surprise, I got all the flavours exactly right and it's just as yummy! So I'm eating my tasty Goulash while you eat yours.
Sisi Charriere definitely not recommending anyone do that but when you have 10 minutes to eat in the field, you're not gonna spend half the time waiting for your food to heat up. you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes 🤷🏽♀️
I grew up eating the American version of goulash. My grandma made it for dinner almost every single time we visited her and she always added peas and carrots to it along with the macaroni noodles. Sometimes cheese sprinkled over the top, too.
I'm never this early! :O I love all of the videos, but for some reason, the MRE ones are some of my favorites. Love it! Thanks for all your amazing content, Emmy.
My mom used to make her version of goulash. She used ground beef, onions, tomatoes and peppers, and elbow macaroni. She also would put a package of frozen mixed vegetables in hers. Just salt and pepper for flavoring. It was good!
One point to make .. usually when you eat MREs you are in the field and have often been very busy .. and are therefore hungry .. there is a big difference between eating in a kitchen and eating an MRE in the field where hunger adds the spice!
My mom used to make the elbow, tomato, and grad. Beef one. It was one of the only dinners that we would eat as a leftover if there was any left. Really easy to make and delicious.
My grandpa, who was from Rhode Island, called what you are referring to as American goulash as American Chop Suey! I still make it for my kids! We all love it!
Anything +honey is amazing. Honey, a sour jam like marmalade, and peanut butter is amazing. Also recommend PBH&B, peanut butter, honey, and banana slices. So good
The big bag it all came in. You can fold it down half way outward and its a bigger bowl if you want to mix things in it and need room. Jalapeno cheese and crackers are my fav. Items.
When opening a MRE if you look at the middle of the top edge you will see a pointed peak on the seal, Pull there. You have more leverage and that peak aids in opening it. The edge doesn't do that.
I love all of your videos. You’re such a joy to watch! Definitely one of my favorite UA-camrs. When I was the soldier I loved eating the jelly on crackers. If we got crackers or candy we were very happy lol.
My husband was in the Air Force and he says no one made the Coco beverage into a drink. They made it into Ranger pudding. Use just a little bit of water, the sugar packet, and the creamer packet mixed into the cocoa drink powder until it's a thick paste. Bingo! You have Ranger pudding. In the field when you're cold and exhausted, it was a little bright spot of something different at the end of your meal. Very comforting!
Oh emmy when you were really Struggling to open the seal I got an image in my head of the friends episode where Ross is trying to get his leather pants back on
Fun fact: American Goulash is closely related to "American Chop Suey" which is also made with elbow macaroni but this does in fact have green peppers in it.
Fun fact: in 2001 there was another version of Chop Suey! That became wildly popular here in the states. It started with "wake up" And ended with "angels who deserve to die." And you wanna know why? Because they wanted to.
In Australia, we call that cordial - a fruit flavoured liquid that you dilute with water, usually about 1:4, 4 being the water. You can buy it in 2 litre bottles. Most parents are mindful of the sugar, so serve it occasionally and diluted a bit more than the recommendation.
I remember wondering about the "Patriotic cookies" when I got some in an MRE, it made me laugh when I opened the pouch, cos I too expected something in the red white & blue theme, but I just got broken pieces of everything, I'm sure there's a political joke to be had in that too... :P
My mom grew up in RI and she called it Goulash!! I grew up eating it as a kid, my grandpa would make it a lot! It's basically beef, pasta and tomatoes. I would add cheese on top, it's very yummy!!!
We made goulash when I was growing up. Basically just browned ground beef, elbow macaroni, salt, pepper, tomato sauce, sautéed onions, and sometimes a small bit of onion soup mix. Pretty tasty stuff.
Here in Michigan goulash is pretty common, we do it with ground beef, elbow noodles, tomatoes, some onion... Kinda like a drier spaghetti, served similarly, too. We just heat the meat with everything else after cooking it through, add it to pasta, and done. My mom even does it fully from canned ingredients.
I grow up with the Hungary beef goulash which is basically a beef stew made with lesser cuts of meat, lard or olive oil, onion, bell pepper, tomatoes water, paprika and sour cream that requires a low and slow cooking time in order to get the meat tender. My mother got the recipe from my great, great aunt Rose who was born in Hungary and ended up in Wisconsin with the rest of her family. My mother either make it with egg noodles or spaetzle but you can serve as is. The American version your taking about is more or less like American chops suey...it good, quicker cheaper to prepare adaptation made with ground beef with filler(carrots, peas and a larger pasta ratio using elbow macaroni). Chicken Paprikash is another simple Hungary dish that's really good.
Fun fact: you can make brownies with your hot chocolate powder. Just mix in a bit of water to make a thick slurry, grab your canteen cup and put your batter in. Leave on a hot engine block for however long it takes.
I would so love to see a Babish and Emmy cook off or say a collaboration holiday meal, recorded Babish style with no heads showing , Emmy style with a history lesson and a fun ending, plus random burping.
The goulash that I grew up on was from an old Betty Crocker cookbook (probably dates from the 60's). It was labeled Hungarian Goulash and doesn't contain any vegetables, other than onion. Main ingredients of the sauce are ketchup, worcestershire sauce, dried ground mustard, paprika, onion, and garlic. Mom served it over egg noodles (No Yolk brand in the bags). I made a photocopy of the recipe from my mom's book and make it any time I see a good deal on stew beef at the store.
I come from a military family and when I was a kid (early 70’s)our grandpa would get us the MRE’s from Camp Pendleton that came in a box and the food was in green cans. My favorite was the beans and weenies and the peanut butter. There was also crackers and chocolate. Once you mastered using the funky little can opener tasting everything was fun. We were always excited to see what MRE’s were waiting for us.
C-Rats (with cans) predated MREs that came into service in the 1980s. I left the service in 1986, never had MREs, only C-Rats. I'm one of the few who actually liked "Beans and Mfers". 😄
Fun fact, Emmy: the gum doubles as a laxative. With low water intake, and high protein & salt, the meal’s final course is meant to be the gum which is there to help you out later. Ps, without going into detail, just know that I learned the hard way. 😄
Dang! It's 2:23 a.m. over here in Germany and I was hoping, this time I might be the first to comment under one of Emmy's videos. Nope. Guess not 😢 And the person who gave this a tumbs down must not like MRE-Goulash
The sleeve replaces the box that the entree used to come in. You slip the entree and anything else you want heated in the heater fold the top, then slip it into the sleeve to keep it closed while heating.
My grandma made American goulash my whole childhood! A can of stewed tomatoes, a pound of hamburger, a box of plain macaroni, and generous salt and pepper. I think Clara would have approved of it as a poor man's meal! Nourishing, tasty, and cheap. ❤️
As someone who just got out of basic training, I seriously miss the MREs They taste SO good especially when every other day you’ve been feed dry chicken, old fish, and mushy unseasoned veggies We had a snow storm and couldn’t get regular food but we received MRE’s in the morning and lemme tell ya The breakfast MREs HIT 😋😂
Legend says until this day Emmy is still trying to _open that heater bag up_
👍😶. ..😁
Hahaha
I always wonder if Emmy is trying to open it properly or not. The key is to open the peelable seal right in the middle where the seal comes to a point. If you open it at that point it allows you to focus all of the pressure on a small part of the seal. The seal fails fairly often anyway but it helps if you try to open from the right spot.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Jadi lawak kau hahaha
When my fiancé overheard you say Goulash, he perfectly predicted everything you got in the pouch! Lol. He had this one a lot in basic training.
My husband did the same thing 😂
There are always favorites among the MREs, this is one of the better ones.... Some you need to be near starving to death to put and keep down.
That's sad to hear
Not hard hahaha

At 7:09 the screen goes black for a couple of seconds. I thought my internet had died on me!
Waterflame SAME
Lol cool I'm not the only one :p
Yep, me too! Scared the sh*t out of me!

That is when she got the tabasco sauce.

It’s been so long since an MRE! Pls taste the Oreo mystery this year! We need your answer lol!
freckledhijabi they taste like gingerbread
freckledhijabi who knew I would find you on here 😂😂 (@_moon_lion_ on Instagram) hey girly!
Emmy is such a cutie when she keeps on saying "Let's open this up."

Yup. I remember when they got rid of the tobasco and the charms. :(
Skittles, M&Ms, peanut butter, and jalapeno cheese spread were like currency in Iraq.
Kim A ❤️💞
Youngsters! First gen MREs had dehydrated pucks that were supposed to be pork or beef patties but were more like dog food. And you had to bring your own tobasco sauce! The C Rats were better.
The beef stew was always my favorite, and the veggie pasta. And I'd trade my M&M and Skittles away for pound cake.
I bet the person that put that lemon-scented towelette in the MRE had no idea it would bring anyone so much joy ever, and for that reason alone I love Emmy.
One day I want to find a woman who looks at me the way Emmy looks at MREs... with a mixture of amusement, horror and delight.
Horror? Boi what???
Lol this is one of my favourite comments I’ve ever read on UA-cam ☺️
Emme, if you reuse the sleeve from the entree , the beverage bag doesn’t need gussets.
But her point is still valid.
Yay another MRE! I love watching you describe the flavors. You describe it so well that it's almost like I'm tasting it myself. 7:09 did something happen to the camera?

You and your Grandpa would find this disappointing. Its pretty much just the old beef stew with spegetti sauce and some paprika dumped in it.

I'm half Austrian and half Hungarian and really proud of your goulash recipe choice! Wolfgang Puck is an amazing chef and I've tried his recipe too, very similar to my grandma's and simply delicious

When I was younger, my parents made goulash, it consisted of elbow or shell macaroni, tomatoes, kidney beans, and kielbasa sausages.. LOVED IT!!

I'm seeing on the comments that she has a big army of hardcore fans (e.g.: knowing her faces and reactions when she tastes something)... and I became one of them!
You’ll notice this is one of the nicest community’s on UA-cam as well. I never seen fighting on any of her videos.
@@kayla123ism absolutely right! Cut to me 3 years later (thanks 2 u I see when I started following her!) being one of those I described! hahahah
I always love the little sound effects you add. And, the ending scene of your videos! Oh my goodness! 😂
My mom made american goulash a lot when I was a child because its So economical. I remember her adding bay leaves to enhance the flavors.
The best comfort food
Yea it was great until that one time when mom was jibba jabba on the phone and waaaaay overcooked the macaroni. It somehow turned back into flour in the Goulash and we had to eat gruel. 🤮

I was having a bad day, but then Emmy posted and my day has been a million times better already 🥰🥺
MRE beef...
Mr. E beef.......
MYSTERY BEEF!!!!! 👀
Hi Emmy! I lived in Massachusetts for 41 years of my life and the macaroni, beef, pepper dish to us is called American Chop Suey
We called it chili mac
@@lordsweep My best friend is from Wyoming and they call it meat and macaroni
In southwestern Virginia we call it goulash
If it has tomatoes, it’s “train wreck.”
My mother would throw all the leftovers in the fridge in a pot and call it goulash. Now I know it is actually a thing. Thank you Emmy.
the card sleeve..... you open it... you fold the bottom flaps in to make a container. you then slide it over your rolled up frh to keep it sealed while cooking.. simples
MRE is my favourite serie! Cheers from Brazil 😘
Mine too

Yes an MRE tasting! Missed these. They’re my favorite series ❤️
I have worked at the Wornick co for 21 years (Nov 23). The company that made your beef goulash MRE. I have tried some of them but I don't work in the same building that the lab is in so I don't get to try them anymore. I was not big on them anyway (not hungry enough). But I like seeing other people enjoy our work. Salute to all of our military women and men, thank you for your service.
I was just thinking... “emmy should be uploading soon!”
what the Heck, Abby.
PS I read that the goulash mix had spinach in it. Never in Hungarian gyulas or even in the American goulash version. Strange.
I anticipate Emmy uploads like an album from my favorite artist
Wow, I have never been this early to your videos. You are amazing, Emmy. These videos are so interesting and full of knowledge.
Yay new MRE tasting!! I love all your videos but there is just something I love about watching your MRE videos. Keep it up with the always top-notch content!
PS. Whenever I see the moist towelette I am just crossing my fingers for Emmy that it's a Lemon scented one!!
Today would be a great day for goulash, it's been cold and rainy all day!

This is great timing. I grew up eating traditional Hungarian Goulash and after recently going vegetarian, I decided to try and adapt the recipe. Much to my surprise, I got all the flavours exactly right and it's just as yummy! So I'm eating my tasty Goulash while you eat yours.
In my experience with flameless ration heaters, overfilling a bit and slightly shaking the bag makes it work best lol
Sounds like a good way to get chemical burns
Sisi Charriere definitely not recommending anyone do that but when you have 10 minutes to eat in the field, you're not gonna spend half the time waiting for your food to heat up. you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes 🤷🏽♀️

This vlog is so good. Should I do my homework for college?... NAH!!!! Emmy just uploaded a video!!!

Fun fact: American Goulash is closely related to "American Chop Suey" which is also made with elbow macaroni but this does in fact have green peppers in it.
Ive never heard of this! Thanks for the info👍✌
Fun fact: in 2001 there was another version of Chop Suey! That became wildly popular here in the states.

And ended with "angels who deserve to die."

The maltodextrin gived you a glucose boost, i think.
For anyone curious, the knife is an Opinel. Fantastic knives for a crazy price point.
Also anyone else notice that moment where it blacks out for a second?
That is when she got the tabasco sauce.
The sleeve replaces the box that the entree used to come in. You slip the entree and anything else you want heated in the heater fold the top, then slip it into the sleeve to keep it closed while heating.

Love you Emmy!!!!! Your great to watch, love your videos.
i thought my phone just died
My grandma made American goulash my whole childhood! A can of stewed tomatoes, a pound of hamburger, a box of plain macaroni, and generous salt and pepper. I think Clara would have approved of it as a poor man's meal! Nourishing, tasty, and cheap. ❤️
I was her going to Clara's cannel. Im sure she has american goulash. It was a staple in my grandmas house. Made pretty much like you said😀
I wonder how many younger viewers are now Googling "what's a phone book"?
As someone who just got out of basic training, I seriously miss the MREs
They taste SO good especially when every other day you’ve been feed dry chicken, old fish, and mushy unseasoned veggies
We had a snow storm and couldn’t get regular food but we received MRE’s in the morning and lemme tell ya
The breakfast MREs HIT 😋😂
