    You don't peel off anything from the friut bars. You eat it all. It's not paper :)))))

      What is that? I live in Slovakia but Ive never seen this kind of bar. I also thought it was some sort of paper :D

    • @IntruderPL2
      @IntruderPL2 7 років тому +19

      Inside you got partialy dried fruits and raisins. The "paper like" sheets are eatable also. It's a very thin and soft wafer :D They're there to prevent the bar from breaking apart. I eat those from my MRE last weekend. I'm still alive ;)

      Ever been to the church ? Its same what they give you . Also I remember growing up in Hungary we had those in a pack of 10 that you could of buy at the pharmacy . They use it to put medicine in for kids

    the color of the dried fruit is because it is organic. Only when you add sulfite to dry fruits do they stay vibrant in color. No sulfites equals organic. not pretty but good to eat

      Kiwi Dude here in germany that paper stuff is very common you can buy "edible paper" in stores, it's pretty much the same, rice flour or starch or something with water as the guy before me said :) usually they are coloured or printed like fake dollar bill designs on them for the kids. You also get them as "Back Oblaten" for baking (you put a blob of coconut dough mixture on it and bake it)

    • @takitam2521
      @takitam2521 8 років тому +2

      +FilipEffatha No, they are not. They are eaten dry - straight from the bag. They are added to the rations because of high fiber content which is healthy for digestion. Ration food is condensated and lack of fiber which can lead to constipation.
      It is true that there is compote made from dried fruit (mostly apples and plums), but it is traditional for Easter in Poland, and is is made by long cooking (so not very ration-friendly way to prepare) the fruit (just like soup) with added sugar and served mostly cold.

    Hello from Vancouver!
    Polish soldiers must be very civilized, that is one of the nicest packs I have seen. The small luxury of a knife and fork and plenty of serviettes makes all the difference.
    Perhaps the dried fruit is meant to be reconstituted with water? They look dehydrated to me.
    Hog jowl is vastly underrated, it is very well-marbled meat, tender and full of flavour, and ideal on the barbecue.

    • @KiwiDudeMRE
      @KiwiDudeMRE  10 років тому +3

      Hi there! It was a very nice touch to see the cutlery and all the other 'trimmings'. The meat just melted in the mouth too. Interesting thoughts on the fruit, I wish I'd kept some to try reconstituting. Next time :)

      "Hog jowl is vastly underrated, it is very well-marbled meat, tender and full of flavour, and ideal on the barbecue."
      Every time we have freshly-cooked beans, we use it to season them. I always "call dibs" on the jowls. I make sandwiches out of 'em, with lots of hot sauce ^_^ .

    Polish food at it's best, got to feed those soldiers well mate!:)
    White paper coating on a bar is sugar with rice I believe, keeps it together and it edible of course. Would love to get hold of one of these on a trips.
    Great review, first time seeing these online. Really enjoyed your daughter comments, she seemed to fall in love with that food!
    I could only suggest, as a Polish fella living in UK that you should definitely try some Polish sausages on a barbecue and perhaps dumplings with wild mushrooms and cabbage! Pure joy;)

    • @KiwiDudeMRE
      @KiwiDudeMRE  9 років тому +2

    I'm pretty sure the reason why the dried fruits look like that is because they lack sulphur which is used in most commercial dried fruits to retain colour because it affects the shelf life.

    • @KiwiDudeMRE
      @KiwiDudeMRE  10 років тому +3

      Thanks for that. They did seem prepared for long life as opposed to looks. It was a surprise seeing the stones in there too!

    • @Guziec1989
      @Guziec1989 10 років тому +6

      Hello Kiwi Dude
      That white thing on the bar is not sulphur!
      It's a wheat based thin wafer and you eat it normaly.
      The dried fruit are fruit chips,if you want you can make kompot by adding it in to hot water and boiling it for a moment .
      There is no creamer because a lot of people in Poland drink their coffee black with no creamer.
      Good to hear that you enjoy the Polish combat ration.

    • @KiwiDudeMRE
      @KiwiDudeMRE  10 років тому

    My fenciee is Ukrainian and dries fruit and veggies in a similar way to the Polish food rations she often dose this in the fall in preparation for the winter.

    I was screaming when You destroyed the Fruit bar :(
    I know that it looks a little bit like a paper. Eat it whole, The white thing is like a Wafer it dissolves in Your mouth without any harm. I am addicted to them. My friend is addicted to the hard crackers :) the wierd flavor of them is up to cumin inside them. I have also the newest Polish MRE's (for spec-ops kinda) with chemical heater, like in USA MRE and different mix of dry fruits (more of the strawberries and black berries that you can 'refresh' with water)
    Very good review!
    Edit: The new Polish rations: SR (S is for older ones)
    Whole name is:
    Indywidualna Racja Żywnościowa "SR" - Individual Food Ration 'SR'
    The whole package is a 1 liter.
    Producent is: P.P.H. Musli Klex sp.z.o.o. 25-217 Kielce city, Hauke Bosaka 10 street, Poland

      The French RCIR is easily attainable for reasonable prices on eBay, but it really depends on how bad you want it. Considering it's a 24hr ration, you could justify eating nothing but the RCIR for a day. You might even break even ;--)

    • @EpicStrategyGamer
