You wondered why there is no heating device and no cutlery contained in this 24h Pack. This is because the Bundeswehr Soldiers have got stainless steel cutlery Kits (called "Feldbesteck") as part of their personal equipment. The Feldbesteck is reusable and therefore quite sturdy and it consists of a knife, a fork, a spoon and a simple can opener. Also they are equipped with an Esbit Kocher (= reusable foldable fuel tablet cooker ...whereas Esbit is a german brand name for hexamine tablets)
So they still use the Esbit cooker? I was wondering, since the main meals are not in those flat aluminium packages anymore. How do you heat the meals-in-a-bag with that? Gruß aus Hamburg
@@Panbaneesha yes they still use it. The meals which come in a plastic bag will be put in a water filled canteen (which is also personal equipment to the soldier) and then heated on the esbit burner. But as you can read on Bundeswehr's HP, they are researching on a new way to heat meals, but haven't got any conclusion until now.
@@loganfive4478 I can see why the method with the water-filled pot wouldn't be perfect - probably very time and fuel consuming on the little cooker. Thank you for your answer.
The biscuits are a food item only in disguise. In fact, they are a deadly weapon against the enemy, since you can kill someone if you can throw them hard enough...😂😂🍻🇩🇪🇺🇸
Buddy your absolutely up there with the legendary Steve 1989 ! You definitely eat all your MREs and don’t waste food. I respect that very much. I hate seeing these other channels heat and open food only to waste it. I often think there is some hungry soldier out there that would eat everything cold. Your doing great 👍🏻
These bags were a temporary solution from 2018 only. Before they were simple plain cardboard boxes, and now they are cardboard boxes again. But now they are bigger as the old ones, because they contain more stuff than they did when I was serving in the Bundeswehr. The type of the EPA only changes the two main menues, the rest is always the same on the types I to V. The types VI to XIV are called EPA light, because they are lightweight. The meals are partially freeze dried, so you need to add water to the meals themself. The EPA should provide you food for at least 24h. Usually they hold up a bit longer. A reusable Esbit stove, stainless steel utensils (fork, knife, spoon and a holder that serves as bottle and can opener) and an aluminium mess kit are part of the soldiers equipment provided when joining the Bundeswehr. Esbit fuel is provided by the supply NCO of the company. The old biscuits were nicknamed "armour plates". Good with the canned cheese spread, but also good in combination with the shoe polish to start a camp fire. The coffee in the old ones was nicknamed "the German neutron bomb, human dies and the cup remains intact". And the instant cold drinks were, and are again, exotic (multi-vitamin, with a some kind of orange flavour) and grapefruit. In the old ones was in addition always a can of pumpernickel bread. In the new ones is also a small bag, in the size of the coffee and tea package, with instant vegetable broth. Salt and pepper is all you get as spices in German EPA. The different types of regular EPA: I: Ravioli with with mushrooms in sauce // Indian rice casserole, dessert: semolina pudding with fruits II: Goulash with potatoes // Cevapi with rice or in alternative ravioli with mushroom in sauce, dessert: fruit cocktail in light syrup III: Hamburger (patty) in tomato sauce // south-american vegetable chili, dessert: semolina pudding with fruits IV: lentil stew with Mettwurst (same sausage type you had in the bean stew) // spiral noodles with ground meat in sauce V: Tortellini (pork stuffed) in tomato sauce // rice with turkey, calamaris and shrimps, dessert: fruit cocktail in light syrup.
Food tastes in Germany are very different between north and south, which is why the food ends up being on the bland side as the lowest common demoninator between polar opposites ends up being somewhat wood-flavoured. Where most Germans agree is the breakfast, which is why you found the breakfast selection more tasty.
When I was stationed in West Germany (I just dated myself), I found that the variation was even more fine than that. Lots of ppl tend to think German food is bland compared to say, French or Italian, cuisine. If you took the time to get off the beaten path, you could find some wonderful local food. I still love German food even to this day. ❤❤❤
@@dschoene57 No m8, these were made exclusively for that maneuver. Thats why theyre made by "economat des armees" believe it or not, but usually the germans make their own rations instead of the french.
@@meinnase You could be right, actually. EPAs came in cardboard boxes, not plastic pouches, but then, I served in the early 90s so things might have changed since then.
I missed this one earlier, RR. My bad. I have tried the boxed version, but not the bag type. Plenty of good food still. Those lids will get you, I know, LOL. Solid components in this meal. I am glad you enjoyed the majority of items. Nicely done, Peace, John.
I just recently discovered the pleasures of pork liver pate. But, it tastes like the braunschweiger I grew up eating. Good stuff! Excellent on crackers or in a sandwich.
That Large Jiggely Piece is a Piece of Pork Bacon Fat :) Germans often add it into Bean Stews so the Fat of it is Cooked out into the Soup and thus improves the Taste :) Its Edible but many People also just Fish it out of the Soup afterwards as its main Purpose is to Improve the Soups Taste. Then again. In the Military I would assume its a Great Source of Fat. So throwing it out would be a bit of a waste.
Hi! Great Review! The Dates on the outside of the Packaging are saying: Upper line: Packaged at November, 18th 2020 (181120) und the lower line says: MHD (Mindest Haltbarkeits Datum), which is the "Best before" Date. So, you've been absutely right! Best from Austria!
@ 12:11 mirror me in reality „Wow that american MRE chili con carne is the most bland thing I‘ve ever had eaten besides of drywall“ Cheers - happy to see you like the european stuff. I was thinking about creating gourmet MRE‘s with batches of my homemade chili plus local austrian items that are awesome in their taste.
"Disappointing." "Mediocre." "Kinda Bland." "Underseasoned." Aaah yes, the german cuisine I know and love. No village restaurant where I live probably could've done better.
German hard cookies have an old German tradition of dual use. They are so hard because of their high fat content. Why? This also makes them very good long burn. German engineering is in everything!
The one in plastics were only available temporarily because they had some issues with manufacturing their normal ones in cardboard. Also, these have been made/assembled in France. They will not be available anymore in the future.
I'm a little late but the date on the front Chargen means the packing ID and Verpackungsdatum is the date when the food/MRE was packed. expiration date = Verfallsdatum
The date is the packaging date. Kaffeeweißer literally means coffee whitener or powdered milk. The Bundeswehr is issued with KFS, they’re pretty nice, I had a set.
by the way...........! @ 14:40 You ate "THE" standard meat dish in the German army "Gulash with noodles" there is a real life "Running Gag" in the German army what's to eat this week? " monday : " Goulash with noodles! " Tuesday: "Noodles with goulash!" Wednesday : "the leftovers from the previous days" Thursday: "Goulash and Pasta Salad" Friday : Pasta salad with "pieces of meat" and yes, I experienced this exact same thing on a maneuver in Denmark in the 90s, because the "kitchen company" arrived 3 days later at the barracks in Denmark
and what does the (in German, kitchen Bull called) the stupid OX do? cook up the EPA.... we were about to lynch the chef......! what did we eat as a "change"???? Ravioli cooked in red wine and vodka I will never forget that ;)
Very nice review! The ration could definitely benefit from some pepper packages at least - German food usually comes out a bit bland because quite a good part of the pop (mostly north Germany) prefers it that way, but it gets really good when you add some more spices! Also, the sausages were honestly an absolute shame coming from the country of sausages...
“Nutty…creamy….crunchy….the combination of strong and light tastes…”. Dude, it’s an MRE, literally the bare minimum food to keep you alive in the field.
The mains appear the equivalent to the US mains. No FRHs. I guess they boil their mains? As always, outstanding review! Thank you for sharing. Blessings 🙏🏼👍🏼
In the Bundeswehr you have a reusable mess kit, containing a can for the food, spoon, fork, knive and can opener. In addition we also carry a little foldable stove with some solid fuel to heat your meals.
5:01 Even Steve doesn't get this right. We don't have much cane sugar over here, but mostly beet sugar. I definitely can taste the difference🤗 Try them side by side.
The date on the package tells when it was packaged, not when it expires. The rations never had an expiration date, as they are theoretically should not spoil at all.
Tried to buy one of these and customs took all the meat out and left me jam and crackers,……. I guess i am safe now to eat healthy food at taco bell and burger king. Whew that was a close one, good job customs, Mre mountain wouldn’t refund very expensive mistake. Would have been fun to try
i cant belive there arent instructions for how much water in the coffee, the Bundeswehr has instructions/rules (ZDv 10/5) that Soliders have to automaticlly start swimming when water gets deeper then 1,2m and that they have to stop climbing when reaching the treetop, by< themselves.
Hello fellow ration collectors these rations are made and packaged in Spain. I still like the boxed rations better there's more food and I like canned bread in the boxed rations Bill 🇨🇦
You know that UA-cam doesn't like blood, even your own lol! If you ever acquire any liver pate that you can live without please pass it along to me, pate is ridiculously hard to find in here in the U.S.. Thanks brother!
As a German, i am shocked about the amount and variety of trash this pack leaves behind! The average German soldier would need about 3 hours each day to sort out all materials for recycling and finding the appropriate garbage containers... 🤣🤣
Somehow most americans dont see the reason why the food is "bland" ...its the same reason why hospital food or retirement home food tastes bland. Some people have ti check their sodium intake. You cant cook for thousands of people, make it salty/spicy/hot and call it a day. What else do they give you salt/pepper/hotsauce packets (depending in ration) for..for the coffe or the oatmeal? So you get the basic DIY spicy kit. 😂

They are Called Panzerkeks For a Reason
Ah yes, the good old Panzerplatten.
How true. We use them for target practice 😂😂
We used to put some boot polish cream between two of the tankcookies. Was a great mixture of firestarter or smokebomb. 😅

You weren't kidding about that thing being huge. The shot of everything spread out was impressive. Dang!
Those EPa´s are "just" made for the exercise "Cold Response" in Norway due to a higher demand for rations.
Very interesting. Thanks buddy!

"Hat noch jemand Esbit?"
Man, what a haul of food! Great review, my friend! Keep them coming!
I don’t have pate often but I do love it, definitely a treat to have that in a ration. Overall it looks great, simple meals but filling.
I just recently discovered the pleasures of pork liver pate. But, it tastes like the braunschweiger I grew up eating. Good stuff! Excellent on crackers or in a sandwich.
3:11 Yes, they use a relatively free translation. Literal translation: Kaffeeweißer = coffee whiter. Not sure why not translated as coffee creamer.

The American crackers during the Vietnam period were called 'Bulletproof Crackers'. I guess all soldiers share the same opinion of MRE crackers.
You earned the iron heart after receiving that wound to your thumb

One man package
Thats more than anyone should eat in a day 😅
🙂yes we can, regarts from Germay. I just ordert some mre's. Wenn i was a kid i get some, i loved those dryfrozen fruits, cake and those crackers 🥰
Esbit stoves are a standard issue item for the German Army.
Do the biscuits still burn tho?
Could you try the self heating South Korean MRE. No idea how you get your hands on them.
If I ever obtain one I will.
Every German soldier probably carries "Esbit" fuel tablet heater and "Gabel+ Löffel=Göffel" fork and spoon combination utensil.
These are so cool 😮 are they sold online in America?
The pork liver pate' is in essence, uncased Braunschweiger (liver wurst)
