I really liked the IDF military rations. Especially the "luf" the Israeli version of spam. We used to poke holes in the cans and attach them to the transmission box of our M-113 of the APC's with string wire. After a long drive, it would get cooked pretty well from the heat. Then, at lunchtime, we open the can and slice it like burgers. A lot of guys didn't like the "luf" so the "luf" lovers traded one can of tuna for two cans of "luf" and good extra food, which was great. I remember that corn was really popular, but tuna was the most sought-after. the sweet powder of the energy drink was also very popular, we didn't mix it with water, just ate the powder as it is. Pineapple cans were also very popular. much more than the preserved peach halves.

In this land of miracles, it was somehow possible.

This video is missing of course the infamous IDF Armoured corps' "Transmission LOOF" (canned meat loaf) What we used to do was to put a can of loof inside the Merkava's transmission compartment in the begining of the training/ride and in the end it got all cooked and ready...with a slight diesel aroma... Surely the ultimate tankers' treat...
Back in the days we had the 5 MANOT KRAV (5 ppl. MRE's) and we had all kind of preserved meat such as GOULASH, LOOF (which is Meat-Loaf, I guess), BOOLE-BEEF and CORNED-BEEF. We also had a flat can of Sardines or Mackerels, a tube of Plam jam, a sachet of drink powder (Lemon, Blackberry or Orange) a few tea bags and more
Loof was undeniably toxic and had some weird levitation/ antigravity properties. If you overate it, you'd find yourself in the early morning, some distance away from your tent, still laying on your mattress that had somehow inexplicably taken flight during the night. Then, you'd get up and go on to blow the latrine up with a great blast of overpressure. In the early Nineties, we had an epic battle in the Gaza Strip, against a huge cloud of germ-carrying flies that was obscuring the Summer sun. The brigade's logistics had provided us with a ridiculous quantity of insecticide bait based on the now-banned Azamethiphos, in gaudily-dyed sugar grains. Since there was so little of it and so many flies, we naturally seeked to increase its attractiveness by putting slices of Loof underneath it: we actually saw the flies performing impressive aerobatics to get away from it! Not to mention that can of Loof that found its way into my backpack and which I tried to feed the cat with when I found it while unpacking at home: she gave it one sniff, turned around with her tail straight up and her asterisk flashing, and didn't talk to me for two weeks!
we pried a rusty can of loof out of the desert soil once and ate it. it must've been from the 80s because the can and bit of label looked so different. it tasted just like regular loof. good 'ol loof, always there for ya and never changes
I’m a former US Marine and Iraq War veteran. I am laughing my @$$ off about the energy drink powder. Any American veterans of the war on terror will recall the energy drink they gave us called Ripit. And not the knock off you can buy. I’m talking about the stuff in the little can with the generic label. I’m pretty sure it was liquid methamphetine. Guys would suck those down, pack a fat lip of chew and get to work. Crazy stuff.
I think there were a bunch of ephedra-based "fitness supplements" in that stuff, at least until the FDA banned them for essentially being an unregulated form of steroids. There was all kinds of fun stuff floating around in the early 2000's before they got regulation happy. Remember salvia divinorum being legal? That was a mistake...
When I was a soldier in the IDF 24 years ago, in battle rations there was loof (preserved meat in a can) on the surface it was not tasty, but if you put it in the fire it was edible. Loof with beans and chili was also good. Of course there was tuna, but in 400g cans. There were also bags of ketchup/corn mustard in a can, peanuts and of course candy. But the candy we all fought over was a zip bag (mixture of sugar, citric acid, raspberry flavor) During the Second Intifada, instead of Luff cans, the IDF put cans of ham or cholent in the battle rations. This didn't work so well either, until they thought of pushing American battle rations. Over time because our soldiers are spoiled, the military removed the meat rations from the battle rations and pushed more battle rations as you are currently presenting.
Back in the day in South Africa we had these interesting MRE's complete with corned beef or viennas in a can. Then there were two energy bars along with milkshake, porridge, biscuits, tea and coffee. Fuel tabs were in there with matches to heat it up. Plastic bags with little ears on the top served as containers for milkshake and your energy drink. It is nice.......the first week. Then you long for a nice cooked meal.
Used to travel al lot between different bases in my service in the IDF. i can tell for sure that there were bases that I preferred MRE's uppon the meals they served in the dining room, but that was long time ago. I used to love to mix tuna with the corn and to cook the Luf with eggs.
Generally the bigger the base, fhe worse the food is. When you cook for thousands of people, it's an assembly line in the extreme. BAHADS are generally the worst, while company/battallion/regiment level can range from okay to amazing, depends on the cooks more than anything.
We used to LOVE Fridays, because mothers would come with pots of chicken soup, Tzimmes, Chulent, etc. for their kids and of course with enough extra for friends. G-d HELP you if you didn't share the best with your Rav Samal... My Great-Aunt found out one of the biggest mooch RS's I ever had loooooved Sfardic eggs, so this little Yiddish-speaking Auschwitz Survivor would spend 2 days making him 10 every week.
I remember when they had the mini Tabasco sauce bottles in the accessary packs in the American MREs. As a retired US Navy corpsman assigned to the US Marine infantry unit, I so get it.
To me it looks like someone went shopping in Aldi, threw in all kinds of stuff he found that were canned food, put it in a card board box and called it an MRE.
I served in IDF food branch many years ago. I was one of the officers who tested and tasted the cans, audited manufacturers and oversaw assembly processes of these MREs. We packed luf back then and there were days that I personally had to inspect and taste up to 300 cans of luf. It was 30 years ago, but I clearly remember the taste and aroma until today. Maybe it’s not the most delicious thing but it’s pretty good considering the limitations of nutritional values, shelf life, convenience in field conditions, kosher requirements and many more considerations… Typically there are some additions provided, like bread/ mazza and vegetables /fruits.
Old 11Bravo here...i can tell your INFANTRY my brother with that sense of humor 😅😅was trying to replicate that ration here in Arizona were I live. God bless you!
Our squad rationed what we ate and when, so we made decent-ish sandwiches. The peanuts we always had for dinner just before the can of fruit. Only we didn't get the beans. We got halva and and extra can of peanuts.
Chili con tuna from this MRE is the best: you take the empty peanut can, fill it with oil from a couple tuna cans and shove some TP there, punch a few holes in it and you have a burner. Mix tuna, beans and corn in a bigger tin and blast it all on the DIY burner, YUM!!! Also the #1 way to cook Luf was on the engine of a patrol vehicle, just remember to punch a few holes in it and put it under the hood before leaving base.
It didn't start in Eastern Europe. It started in Persia (modern day Iran) in the 7th century. The first written halvah recipe was in Arabic from the 14th century. It spread to Europe from the Ottoman Empire.
Dude, so flippin funny 😁 K4P digestive advice: eat more olives, drink the olive juice lactic acid balances the concrete issues 😂 drink all juices they are electrolite too , and definitely eat the corn for ruffage . As per matzah /hardtac, grind it into crumb to soak up with any liquid. Add a few drops of water to choco and hawala stir to make more spreadable 😆 🤣 add crumbs add matzah becomes choco or Havana cookie balls 😅😊 As for sauces never thousand island ! Tabasco and shelf stable lemon juice added to tuna with oil at ambience temp. no cooking necessary😊 Tuna Oil and lemon plus chick peas add corn bean or water for liquid smush,& walla hummus 😋😅. Hazak!
I don’t know if Tabasco sauce is Kosher but we’ve been using it since Vietnam war with our C-rations and MRE’s. The narrator has an excellent GI Humour about him.
We used to call the matzot "dikt" - which means "plywood". It is workable much better as the more experienced of us knew, if you slightly and evenly wet the "plywood" with water, it doesn't crumble, and becomes more pliable. You can use multiple layers to increase the load bearing capacity and make more substantial sandwiches out of them and of course it doesn't turn into sawdust as you chew it.
When I went through AIT, we were given C-Rations & "K-Rations" interchangeably. Both the C & K rations had the best canned pears I have ever eaten. On our last day of training, we were given a "treat" - LRPs!! All in all, none of the rations were bad.
Todays MRE's have changed so that one needs to become a mathematician and take a pencil and work it out. More than likely you need some of the old chocolate Exlax candy to get you going again or a gallon enema bags worth of flush to get one unplugged.
I Myself AM Here in Tucson, Arizona United States of America, on Saturday 26 August 2003AD, eating tuna, crackers and a jalapeño pepper, as I AM watching the Agilite 🦂 Kids eat an IDF MRE. Be Teavon, 🦂 Kids and Shalom Aleichem!!🇺🇸🇺🇲🇮🇱🇮🇱🧑🍳🍳🥞🌭🍔🍛🧈🍨🥛🍺❤️🥓🥦
I just saw one of the Israeli videos of war and I saw a green can with a spoon in it and thought it was beans, I looked up their mre and sure as hell it was beans 😂
JEW! AHHH! THEIF! Psssspt, can you get me some diamonds for cheap or tell me when the stock market will crash so I can short some stocks? Just playing. Yeah it isn't great yet I've seen worse.
Id and F seems to have learned from ww2 and the treatment. Food that contributes to survival. Not to fancy, but all ingredients together can lead to a decent meal. And it helps to remember it can be much worse. Well done. 👍
hahaha as a truck driver when i was in the army used to have some of those sometimes that burned tuna was coming in such a clutch reminded me good times (12years ago)and thanks for the simle i have cause of you made me laugh so good lol. Sending reinforcements love and joy to all his people Israel and their supporters in the world God will make everything good as Rabbi Nachman from uman said. ***and about the halva i wasn't even ready to try but trust me brother from another mother and same father you should try bamba halva
We once had to eat this for a week ON BASE because the legistic idiots told the base we were going to be in the field all week and in the end we weren’t but because they had pulled all the MREs from storage they made us eat them anyways
I heard crazy joke from a guy who said he was special forces....i asked *WHATS IN YOUR SURVIVAL BACKPACK?" He said ,"a folding shovel, military lighter or mini torch from hardware store,a spork,a high grade military fixed blad,a bottle of ketchup And a army manual on cannabalism" I said WHAT!! PLEASE EXPLAIN... he said "well the ketchuo is to make the Dead people taste better after you use the lighter to start small fire to cook them and the knife is to cut up your dinner,and the shovel to bury the bones!""( He said "we actually dont need the manual, because we read it already" AND then i Googled " Declassified Army manual on cannabalism"( No shit!! Its on Google)
Now we know why IDF soldiers are so tough.. I ate South African Defence Force rat packs during my service. The worst, or most offensive, part was this ungodly tin of curried fish. I have never met anyone who ate a whole tin. It smelled awful, but came in handy for pranks - you put a fuel tablet under the unopened tin, lit the tablet, and left the immediate area. When the pressure built up inside that tin it would explode, leaving an unholy stink that lingered for days. That was biological warfare right there! 🇿🇦🙏🇮🇱
@@qswe1387Shame on you, you don't even know me, but you attack me personally because you have a hateful heart... You are the racist because you assume my white skin makes me a supporter of the Apartheid Regime... you assume that my serving in the SADF automatically makes me a hater, like you, too. And yet you are wrong. As wrong as a spiteful bigot could be. I took my stand against racism within my first 2 months of my National Service. I received death threats and some physical abuse from a the Afrikaans nationalist zealots who were as bigotted as you are, until I was moved out of that squadron. My stance got me into a lot of trouble, but I am still glad I honoured my personal beliefs and talked out against injustice. That bullying continued from the late 80s until 1994, when my country had it's first free and fair elections. I continued serving in the army until the early 2000s, after Apartheid was gone. So if anyone is the racist or bigot, it's you. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Open your eyes to the lies and hate coming out of your mouth. Proove your point, make a valid argument, don't just make idiotic blanket statements... it makes you look lazy and incompetent.
Enjoyed your video. In the olden days before MRE's, American army C-rations and K-rations were similar with tins of various mysery substances but generally better than your kosher MRE. I remember tins, like tuna size, that had hardtac which was like a hard thick matzah that you had to soak in something in order not to break a tooth.
I ate those rations for 22 years, as a combat soldier, we never complained showing you how spoiled you are, do not put down those rations, when you are in a war and there is nothing to it be thankful those rations are given to you.
cook the tuna with paper napkins, we did it too, way back in 1992 😂; scout platoon (Alpini) mountain troops Italian army, sometimes I still do it, I add rosemary and chopped onion, then I season the spaghetti with it 🙈
And they say food is essential to good morale...when the troops stop complaining, you're in real trouble. This reminds me of the old US C rations (officially MCI, for Meal, Combat, Individual) right down to the can opener, called P-38 in the Army and John Wayne in the Marines (because we idolized the man). I still have the first one I picked up from 1975.
I'm sorry guys, but MRE's unless they are from the Italian military from what I've tasted all taste like over salted freeze dried dirt. And those are the good ones!! Agilite love your videos.
That would have been a C ration. The MREs have no cans at all and are actually pretty good now. When we first switdhed from C Rats to MREs our unit dog would not eat them
Grandmas in eastern Europe used to put noodle dough on the stove top and called that matza. Also bagels survived in eastern Europe as a church fare snack. Og halvah is nuts stuck together with sugar.
Try the Hun MRE that is for one day per pack, with two HUGE one-pound food cans, but they don’t give you the fuel tabs to heat them because there was no order given to do so 😂
Agilite, when I was basic training there it's the middle of the fucking Negev desert, we would poke holes in the tuna can , roll paper towels and stick it in the holes. Light the paper up and let it cook. 20-30 minutes later u have smoked tuna with a side of Alzheimer's 😆 omg that takes me back
Best tuna burning technique is you fold 4 squares of toilet paper into two and then you form a circle with it after that you place that paper circle into the tuna and maoe sure that you have a gap between the toilet paper and the outer edge and you have a circle of tuna in the middle then you light that shit up. The point is that the tuna will burn more evenly and in my experience you burn more of the oil that way. I've served my full mandatory service in idf and stayed for 1 year after that for post mandatory service which you get payed for like a job. Love the vid keep it up ❤
As a former IDF soldier I actually liked the MRE because the food in the base was so bad... When we had training days which we couldn't come back to the base on time for meal, I was happy. Cuz we got the MRE, much less fancy then what you have.
Best to eat as a Soldier is Kosher and Non-Kosher #1 can Corned beef from Australia 🦘 #2 can Sardines and Tuna, dehydrated mangoes 🥭 , Pineapple juice 🍍from Philippines. #3 Matzo Israeli #4 Coconut 🥥 Juice from Thailand #5 Rice from Thailand #6 Spring water from Norway/ Fiji/ American #7 Chocolate from Europe (Belgian and Swiss)
After this, I will never ever talk bad about my Swedish army MRE ever again.

Don't diss the halva! Back in the late 80s, we survived for weeks at a time on halve, Turkish coffee and cigarettes.
Sounds like the Greek dessert ration.

I remember when they had the mini Tabasco sauce bottles in the accessary packs in the American MREs. As a retired US Navy corpsman assigned to the US Marine infantry unit, I so get it.
Lev is da man! Love the guys at Agilite
While I do like matza, I can honestly say that an MRE version would be my nightmare scenario. 🤣
To me it looks like someone went shopping in Aldi, threw in all kinds of stuff he found that were canned food, put it in a card board box and called it an MRE.
Basically my thought first time I had it
I served in IDF food branch many years ago.
I was one of the officers who tested and tasted the cans, audited manufacturers and oversaw assembly processes of these MREs. We packed luf back then and there were days that I personally had to inspect and taste up to 300 cans of luf. It was 30 years ago, but I clearly remember the taste and aroma until today.
Maybe it’s not the most delicious thing but it’s pretty good considering the limitations of nutritional values, shelf life, convenience in field conditions, kosher requirements and many more considerations…
Typically there are some additions provided, like bread/ mazza and vegetables /fruits.
you're the real spec ops guy
taste test 300 cans a day is PTSD stuff 😢

Old 11Bravo here...i can tell your INFANTRY my brother with that sense of humor 😅😅was trying to replicate that ration here in Arizona were I live. God bless you!
Our squad rationed what we ate and when, so we made decent-ish sandwiches. The peanuts we always had for dinner just before the can of fruit. Only we didn't get the beans. We got halva and and extra can of peanuts.
Chili con tuna from this MRE is the best: you take the empty peanut can, fill it with oil from a couple tuna cans and shove some TP there, punch a few holes in it and you have a burner. Mix tuna, beans and corn in a bigger tin and blast it all on the DIY burner, YUM!!!
Also the #1 way to cook Luf was on the engine of a patrol vehicle, just remember to punch a few holes in it and put it under the hood before leaving base.
Halvah is a sesame seed paste, and it started in Eastern Europe. I grew up eating if.
So is it like Tahini? I think that is what tahini is basically made from seasme hulls, yet I could be wrong since I'm American.
It didn't start in Eastern Europe. It started in Persia (modern day Iran) in the 7th century. The first written halvah recipe was in Arabic from the 14th century. It spread to Europe from the Ottoman Empire.
@@dianapennepacker6854but it's sweet and eaten as a treat
My mother loves it, I think it’s disgusting 😝
In eastern Europe, they make it from sunflower seeds, not sesame seeds, and consider it the _real_ halva.
Passover is no doubt one of the hardest parts of the year in the idf
They defo pass over that 😂😂😂
@@moinmahmud6265😂😂😂
Yom Kippur rivals it
Dude, so flippin funny 😁 K4P digestive advice: eat more olives, drink the olive juice lactic acid balances the concrete issues 😂 drink all juices they are electrolite too , and definitely eat the corn for ruffage .
As per matzah /hardtac, grind it into crumb to soak up with any liquid.
Add a few drops of water to choco and hawala stir to make more spreadable 😆 🤣 add crumbs add matzah becomes choco or Havana cookie balls 😅😊
As for sauces never thousand island ! Tabasco and shelf stable lemon juice added to tuna with oil at ambience temp. no cooking necessary😊 Tuna
Oil and lemon plus chick peas add corn bean or water for liquid smush,& walla hummus 😋😅. Hazak!
I don't know if this lesson in world cultures came free with my purchases or my T&E membership but I dig it.
I don’t know if Tabasco sauce is Kosher but we’ve been using it since Vietnam war with our C-rations and MRE’s.
The narrator has an excellent GI Humour about him.
Tabasco is Kosher :-)
@@efimiron3805 they make poblano where in my hometown
This video is funny as hell, loved the little notes during the video. :) thanks for the info.
We used to call the matzot "dikt" - which means "plywood". It is workable much better as the more experienced of us knew, if you slightly and evenly wet the "plywood" with water, it doesn't crumble, and becomes more pliable. You can use multiple layers to increase the load bearing capacity and make more substantial sandwiches out of them and of course it doesn't turn into sawdust as you chew it.
Didn't Sharon use those "dikt" to cross the Suez Cannal with ?
When I went through AIT, we were given C-Rations & "K-Rations" interchangeably. Both the C & K rations had the best canned pears I have ever eaten. On our last day of training, we were given a "treat" - LRPs!! All in all, none of the rations were bad.
It's a part of life if you are a soldier in war you are blessed if you have that kind of food
אמאלה אחד הסרטונים הטובים שלכם, אומנם באנגלית אבל כל ישראלי חייב לראות 😂
They need anti-diarrheal meds with those MRE packs.
The company medics always had Loperamide on hand. And Hartman's IV Solution if that wasn't enough.
Todays MRE's have changed so that one needs to become a mathematician and take a pencil and work it out. More than likely you need some of the old chocolate Exlax candy to get you going again or a gallon enema bags worth of flush to get one unplugged.
I Myself AM Here in Tucson, Arizona United States of America, on Saturday 26 August 2003AD, eating tuna, crackers and a jalapeño pepper, as I AM watching the Agilite 🦂 Kids eat an IDF MRE. Be Teavon, 🦂 Kids and Shalom Aleichem!!🇺🇸🇺🇲🇮🇱🇮🇱🧑🍳🍳🥞🌭🍔🍛🧈🍨🥛🍺❤️🥓🥦
That chocolate spread graphic scared the shit out of me.
And I thought American MRE's were bad. That really is a Meal, Rejected by Ethopians. Tabasco makes anything taste better. Semper Fi.
Too funny! You guys in the IDF, have my sympathy!
I just saw one of the Israeli videos of war and I saw a green can with a spoon in it and thought it was beans, I looked up their mre and sure as hell it was beans 😂
I bet if you had laid all that stuff out on a tray it would have looked nice!
That's what I been eating for a few years now. That's good stuff dude. Relax.
What are you talking about, halva is amazing
No
No
You're absolutely right, but not this kind...
NO, halva not have human food, worst shit what human has made.
i love all of the meals inside there , its basically what i normally eat lol
JEW! AHHH! THEIF!
Psssspt, can you get me some diamonds for cheap or tell me when the stock market will crash so I can short some stocks?
Just playing. Yeah it isn't great yet I've seen worse.
LMAO couldnt be more clear on who you are , hey hows it going federal agent :) @@dianapennepacker6854
Hahaha, love this. Much love from Texas brotha 😎
Also:
Halva is when you add sugar to tahini
i love MRE'S im a female retired soldier veteran, your Israel MRE'S In the can looks super delicious!!!!!!!
Amazing video guys! 🦂
Id and F seems to have learned from ww2 and the treatment.
Food that contributes to survival. Not to fancy, but all ingredients together can lead to a decent meal. And it helps to remember it can be much worse.
Well done. 👍
i love this thank you!
May God bless you all.
When Satan packs your
Lunch.😂😂😂❤❤❤.
Ah yes, "Tuna Mushenet". Probably have cancer from eating that in the field for weeks on end.
The can openers like that in some form have been around for what seems like forever.
lol this is the best review of an MRE I've ever watched
Major bowel block in the making! Great video!
This tuna is ready to eat 😆 no cooking needed. And halva is made of tahini and dates. A real halva (not canned) is delicious
I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but that makes the old British Army 24 hour ration pack look good. 🇬🇧 🇮🇱👍
Would luv to send you my dinners for month…unfortunately frozen…wish I could …also make own bread…butter
hahaha as a truck driver when i was in the army used to have some of those sometimes that burned tuna was coming in such a clutch reminded me good times (12years ago)and thanks for the simle i have cause of you made me laugh so good lol. Sending reinforcements love and joy to all his people Israel and their supporters in the world God will make everything good as Rabbi Nachman from uman said.
***and about the halva i wasn't even ready to try but trust me brother from another mother and same father you should try bamba halva
We once had to eat this for a week ON BASE because the legistic idiots told the base we were going to be in the field all week and in the end we weren’t but because they had pulled all the MREs from storage they made us eat them anyways
LoL, Great video. Love your guys stuff.
I heard crazy joke from a guy who said he was special forces....i asked *WHATS IN YOUR SURVIVAL BACKPACK?" He said ,"a folding shovel, military lighter or mini torch from hardware store,a spork,a high grade military fixed blad,a bottle of ketchup
And a army manual on cannabalism"
I said WHAT!! PLEASE EXPLAIN...
he said "well the ketchuo is to make the
Dead people taste better after you use the lighter to start small fire to cook them and the knife is to cut up your dinner,and the shovel to bury the bones!""( He said "we actually dont need the manual, because we read it already" AND then i Googled " Declassified Army manual on cannabalism"( No shit!! Its on Google)
Now we know why IDF soldiers are so tough..
I ate South African Defence Force rat packs during my service. The worst, or most offensive, part was this ungodly tin of curried fish. I have never met anyone who ate a whole tin.
It smelled awful, but came in handy for pranks - you put a fuel tablet under the unopened tin, lit the tablet, and left the immediate area.
When the pressure built up inside that tin it would explode, leaving an unholy stink that lingered for days.
That was biological warfare right there!
🇿🇦🙏🇮🇱
Of course apartheidists support apartheidists. 😂
@@qswe1387Shame on you, you don't even know me, but you attack me personally because you have a hateful heart...
You are the racist because you assume my white skin makes me a supporter of the Apartheid Regime... you assume that my serving in the SADF automatically makes me a hater, like you, too.
And yet you are wrong. As wrong as a spiteful bigot could be.
I took my stand against racism within my first 2 months of my National Service.
I received death threats and some physical abuse from a the Afrikaans nationalist zealots who were as bigotted as you are, until I was moved out of that squadron.
My stance got me into a lot of trouble, but I am still glad I honoured my personal beliefs and talked out against injustice.
That bullying continued from the late 80s until 1994, when my country had it's first free and fair elections.
I continued serving in the army until the early 2000s, after Apartheid was gone.
So if anyone is the racist or bigot, it's you.
Don't judge a book by it's cover. Open your eyes to the lies and hate coming out of your mouth.
Proove your point, make a valid argument, don't just make idiotic blanket statements... it makes you look lazy and incompetent.
Enjoyed your video. In the olden days before MRE's, American army C-rations and K-rations were similar with tins of various mysery substances but generally better than your kosher MRE. I remember tins, like tuna size, that had hardtac which was like a hard thick matzah that you had to soak in something in order not to break a tooth.
I think that you would love Finnish Defence Force`s MREs
The sweet corn has a pop-top that you can open without a can opener. Why couldn't they have all the cans be that way?
I ate those rations for 22 years, as a combat soldier, we never complained showing you how spoiled you are, do not put down those rations, when you are in a war and there is nothing to it be thankful those rations are given to you.
Thank you for the great laugh
cook the tuna with paper napkins, we did it too, way back in 1992 😂; scout platoon (Alpini) mountain troops Italian army, sometimes I still do it, I add rosemary and chopped onion, then I season the spaghetti with it 🙈
And they say food is essential to good morale...when the troops stop complaining, you're in real trouble.
This reminds me of the old US C rations (officially MCI, for Meal, Combat, Individual) right down to the can opener, called P-38 in the Army and John Wayne in the Marines (because we idolized the man). I still have the first one I picked up from 1975.
I picked up my P-38's in 1974-77 while I was in the Army, great to know another old timer stopped by. Welcome home. 💯
@@snowyowlz5992 👍And it still works! It rides on my keychain. 😎
I'm sorry guys, but MRE's unless they are from the Italian military from what I've tasted all taste like over salted freeze dried dirt. And those are the good ones!!
Agilite love your videos.
Steve 1989 might disagree with you
I literally had an instant US style mre meal once during my entire service. 99.9% of field meals were the canned crap.
That would have been a C ration. The MREs have no cans at all and are actually pretty good now. When we first switdhed from C Rats to MREs our unit dog would not eat them
Anyone who has the displeasure of having tasted Luf knows that the Manot Krav is good for sustenance and thats it 🤣
It's amazing how bad stuff can bring back such a good nostalgy 😂😂♥♥
Love your sense of humor 😅
Grandmas in eastern Europe used to put noodle dough on the stove top and called that matza. Also bagels survived in eastern Europe as a church fare snack. Og halvah is nuts stuck together with sugar.
Try the Hun MRE that is for one day per pack, with two HUGE one-pound food cans, but they don’t give you the fuel tabs to heat them because there was no order given to do so 😂
Agilite, when I was basic training there it's the middle of the fucking Negev desert, we would poke holes in the tuna can , roll paper towels and stick it in the holes. Light the paper up and let it cook. 20-30 minutes later u have smoked tuna with a side of Alzheimer's 😆 omg that takes me back
Lmfao the Mazta part had me dying 😂😂
"Avkat rabak"? I think you meant "Avkat sartan" (Cancer powder)
dude you didnt show them the combina of cooking the beens on the tuna
Meals Refusing to Exit 😅
Best tuna burning technique is you fold 4 squares of toilet paper into two and then you form a circle with it after that you place that paper circle into the tuna and maoe sure that you have a gap between the toilet paper and the outer edge and you have a circle of tuna in the middle then you light that shit up. The point is that the tuna will burn more evenly and in my experience you burn more of the oil that way. I've served my full mandatory service in idf and stayed for 1 year after that for post mandatory service which you get payed for like a job. Love the vid keep it up ❤
What, no Bissli? The onion flavor Bissli is the best. I used to special order Onion Bissli from a company here in the USA.
Your partner acts so funny.!! He just eats everything you give him in a desperate way as he would be starving😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
As a former IDF soldier I actually liked the MRE because the food in the base was so bad... When we had training days which we couldn't come back to the base on time for meal, I was happy. Cuz we got the MRE, much less fancy then what you have.
Ty for the humor.
Humus is popular for a good reason: it tastes really good.
Best to eat as a Soldier is Kosher and Non-Kosher
#1 can Corned beef from Australia 🦘
#2 can Sardines and Tuna, dehydrated mangoes 🥭 , Pineapple juice 🍍from Philippines.
#3 Matzo Israeli
#4 Coconut 🥥 Juice from Thailand
#5 Rice from Thailand
#6 Spring water from Norway/ Fiji/ American
#7 Chocolate from Europe (Belgian and Swiss)
cacao spread on matzo is great!
Haha. Can't wait to enlist with the IDF.
Very interesting video guys. I would love to taste it with my buddies. But I dont think all four of us would be satisfied lol
I remember when I was a teenager saw matzo and wanted to try. I cut my throat inside with it 😭
This actually made me hungry 😂 seriously. Stay safe out there.
