My partner and I watched your videos every night before bed. He passed away in September 2022… this is my first year without him. Your ration videos were his favorite. Just wanted to thank you for posting and Happy New Year!
My heart ❤ goes out to you. My husband died 2018. Agony, in so many ways I hadn't even thought of.
I’m so sorry!!
I'm so sorry, what a terrible loss. I hope you have good people around to hold you in your grief ❤️
My husband passed in May 2022, and we loved to watch this channel too. I am so very sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss 😞 he will always be with you in spirit ❤️
I love that they included the vitamin D3 because of the potential for lack of sunlight. Very forward thinking. Most impressive and comprehensive ration pack I've seen. Kudos to the Netherlands!
Research suggests everyone can use extra D3, even up to 50 times the daily amount. And it has a slew of potential health benefits. Makes sense because our bodies were evolved in sunny climates, we spent all day outside with few if any clothing.
In reality very little Vitamin D is obtained through the sun and skin. Most of your daily vitamin d is dietary and is through your food.
This is not vitamin D. It is D3, totally different. Vitamin D helps with calcium and phosphorus retention whereas vitamin D3 helps your body absorb the energy from the food being digested. Makes perfect sense in this case as long as you do not take too much.
@@InWeCome you're thinking of vitamin D. Vitamin D3 is completely different.
@@adityaiyli8982 vitamin d and vitamin D3 are different.
As a canadian... I think than those Arctic Dutch Ration are impressive...could have this at home, in case of power outage during winter! They look amazing compare to many others!
The most Canadian comment ever 😂
I always love seeing international MREs. My dad was in the army for 20 years and one of the first things he did when going to a new country was trade MREs with the local soldiers. They were just as excited and curious as he was. It seems to be one of those universal, human things we all share. I find that comforting.
We did the same thing in Europe. We would trade rations with the Germans, Brits, French. Theirs were so much better than ours.
That's pretty cool to know, thank you for sharing your dad's experience!
This is a possible answer to my question as to why the Dutch labels were also in English. Interesting!
A good meal is enjoyed gratefully no matter where you're from.
Makes me rerealize just howwars are fought in the interest of the few, not the many.
So, I have an instant coffee tip- reconstitute the granules first with cold water - the hot water actually injures the freeze dried granules. Once rehydrated then add hot water. It totally changes the flavour of the coffee !
You got that from that short. UA-cam is not that big I promise.
@@swankyangelo Does it matter?
@@swankyangelo So, we're not allowed to share stuff we learn via shorts? You're not that cool, I promise.
@@swankyangelo gatekeeping someone’s life hack?
I just add milk first to the coffee then the hot water. But I can see how cold water could do the same thing if you don't have milk with your coffee
The Dutch army uses two types of rations - a regular ration and an arctic ration for cold-weather operations. The packaging for the regular ration is made out of cardboard while the arctic ration is packaged in a plastic pouch. The arctic ration contains freeze dried meals and porridge for breakfast and has a higher level of calories. The Dutch Army also has an emergency ration but these are only supplied in time of war. They contain dry blocks similar to the Datrex or Mainstay survival bars.
Thank you for these details. Happy New Year!
The Whey Powder is generally used as a cream, eg. Sprinkled in the muesli and rice pudding to thicken/enrich and also as a coffee/tea creamer.
Man the size of this MRE gives a whole new meaning to the saying "If it ain't Dutch it ain't much!" Really enjoyed this episode
As someone who lives in the Netherlands, its p interesting to see how some of this stuff is actually pretty similar to things you could buy in the stores here. Like the biscuits, the tomato soup and beef broth especially is familiar enough I could name brands that look like it haha. Also not surprising the spicy sauce wasn't very hot! We really don't eat or are used to spicy food at all. It's fun to see how you really can tell this is made for the stereotypical Dutch palette
Dutch don’t eat spicy?? You should get out more. There are a lot if Indonesian, Suriname etc Dutch people.
@@littlebighumancom My thought
@@littlebighumancom Yeah, there are a lot of Dutch people who have a high spice tolerance because their traditional cooking is spicey. But in restaurants the taste is usually adjusted to the typical Dutch palette - not that spicey. There's nothing wrong with that, we just aren't as used to it.
@@littlebighumancom yes there are but as an immigrant, the Dutch palate in general is very bland. I was very surprised by this when I moved. Thankfully due to the other cultures here, you can get access to good spices and flavour but just look at traditional Dutch food. It’s bland, no offence but it is. Everything labelled spicy here is not even remotely spicy
@@thecosmicxx try living in Belgium. 100x worse
As a collector and reviewer of rations, I have to say that the Dutch 24 hour ration is one of the best. A ton of food, comprehensive menus and side item choices. Lastly, the drinks are tasty and plentiful. Thanks for sharing :-)
Yeah it definitely seems like this would both meet the calorie and nutrient needs of the soldiers but also be very tasty!
Where do you get them?
@@jeffforbess6802 MRE Mountain has them
As a young man in Uncle Sam's service I completed Arctic ( a.k.a.Cold weather )
Survival ( a.k.a. S.E.R.E.= Survival , Escape , Resistance and Evasion ) training
and one of my memories was always being hungry and cold .We would easily consume 5000 calories a day of C rations and a locally manufactured Pemmican
( a mixture of suet , dried meat and dried berries ) and it was never enough , you
could never eat enough to keep warm due to your metabolism running so high.
Thank you for going through all that, and for sharing the assurance with us.
Even sheltering at home, when it gets chilly, I get hungrier. In the harrowing frost, I, too, would be glad of the suet, and eat it all.
My brother was Navy. Did the same training in Norway. Sounds like an intense experience!
Thanks for the perpective.
That's why we have the seal hunts. People don't understand that. High calorie food is needed and a way to control the seal population that is decimating the cod population.
@@LifeOfNigh And that's yet another reason not to be in favor of forcing everyone to go vegan, and to leave that as a personal choice. As if the fact that various disabilities can make veganism impossible for some folks wasn't reason enough (and sometimes it's down to the way a specific person's disability manifests and not a universal trait). Because if you have to kill animals for a good reason, universal veganism would just mean all of those animals end up in the trash and contribute to the landfills, when some could have otherwise been eaten and provided food.
Always enjoy Emmy trying a new ration pack.
Same here.
As someone who really hates salty stuff, I think this MRE would be a dream compared to most of the ones reviewed where things are super packed with salt. The isotonic beverages can keep your salt levels safe, and don't forget they gave you salt packets to add to taste!
Watched this with my hubs, an Army Vet, who absolutely gobsmacked at the variety and flavors that were included in this hahah (out of pure jealousy 🤣)
The amount of chili mac and infamous “vegetable omelets” he ate in his rations still make him shudder hahah what a nifty exploration - thanks, as always, Emmy!
I’m Belgian and we have a lovely cuisine. I live 30 minutes car drive from the border with the Netherlands and their food is even better than ours! More variety. Lots of exotic and Indonesian influenced food
You should have colonized better countries lol
Forest time I hear a Belgian say that! Thanks. But the real question is: do you prefer Dutch or Belgium mayonnaise?
@@marijnl Belgian sweet mayo is the best!
That is probably the most impressive ration I've ever seen. Wonder if the beef bullion was for the beef and mash?
This was my thought as well
Or as beef broth to drink
The Vitamin D3 makes sense given the potential lack of sunlight where they are deployed. I love this ration amongst those you have previously reviewed.
As someone from around Seattle- very logical addition, we have frequent issues with lack of D3 as well
Wow, that is a lot of food for 24 hours! I think that could last a few days if needed. These are always fun to see.
The soup is like a Cup-a-soup, which I always drink at around 3 or 4 at work in a big mug. It's also nice to drink with a sandwich 🥪 😋
Also makes a great thin gravy … the beef one added to the mash. Yum!
Throwback to Emmy mixing apple jam in water. 9:51 😂
I remember that loll
The og fans were there 🤣
I see Emmy got everything out onto a tray. Nice!
I wonder if Steve is watching 😂
Was waiting for a "nice hiss" when opening the nuts but she cut out the opening of that package 🙁
Hot sauce cures a multitude of culinary ills. The beef bullion probably would be good to flavor the potatoes. It would give it the salt and extra flavor. I don't think I would add the whole thing but some could work
I do not understand that inclusion. Salted nuts and the isotonic drinks would provide plenty of electrolytes. And there are tons of hot drinks in there. The only part of the ration I don't understand
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 There are a good dozen beverages in the ration. You could have a beverage every 75 minutes during the entire day!
The bullion was indeed for the potatoes! Oh well...
Love when you do longer videos
You could probably make a really good trail mix from the lunch items of chocolate peanuts and dried cranberries
Crumble the biscuits in too, yum!
That was my first thought when they had the cashews and cranberries in the same package together and I have never had trail mix in my life hahaha
Emmy, I'm surprised you've never tasted apricot jam before. I'm surprised because apricot jam is a frequent ingredient in many main dishes --things like pork chops glazed with apricot jam, it's also included in some chicken glaze recipes. Highly recommend!
This has been my favourite MRE. There's enough food for like 2 days in it and everything looks delicious.
These ration taste tests are probably my favorite series you do! Sooooo interesting!!
If Emmy made 2000 more MRE videos, I would watch them all.
Oh yeah. 100%
Love these ration taste test videos. May I suggest the Compact Provision's BP-5s Emergency rations. One box feeds an adult for one day. It may also help to bring light to how these rations are distributed worldwide during disasters and is currently being used in Ukraine. Maybe even a 3-day challenge trying it both dry and as a porridge.
I love love your videos! Your vocabulary is refreshing. The way you explain every little tidbit of flavor, textures, even the packaging.. You're just so satisfying in the way you execute your videos. I'm a huge fan of yours. I've been watching your videos for a loooong time. They're my go-to when I'm looking for something to take my mind off things. I appreciate you. You're awesome! 👍👍👍👍
indeed. she explains things a very simple way, not trying to bé too scientific and stuff: plasticky etc😂 the main thing is : it is fun to watch❤
This actually sounds super tasty! Like with MREs I know you have to adjust your expectations, you're not comparing to home cooking, but this with all the snacks and drinks seems genuinely nice?? Like I'll take dinner being reconstituted if I get hot cocoa and tomato soup and Nutella and pb and cashews and teas and biscuits!
I was hoping Steve would have a New Years surprise upload or something, but Emmy uploading an MRE video is just as *nice*
Same thoughts. But there was the bad gusset design spill.
Sadly no hiss
That is one jam-packed ration meal pack!😮
Looks like they might actually have too much food. A lot of weight and trash to keep track of.
@@jasonrhodes9683 if they're in cold weather they're going to need the extra calories to stay warm. and i would imagine that the plastic can keep the weight and size down.
Happy New Year!!! Thanks for another year filled with great recipes and other fun videos. I look forward to spending 2023 with you ❣️
9:03 “it’s like a coffee essence that is hot… and slightly burned… I love it” is probably the best thing I’ve heard today!
Tha I you Emmy, for sharing & posting. I'm delighted that you have included a play list.
As it is always the case with your videos your love for the subject shows. Hope that does not change in 2023. Have a wonderful year Emmy. Thanks for the smiles and the learning you provided in 2022. Here is to new year.
This one was a blast! You have a way of making things I would never eat seem enticing. Ramen, for instance. I have never liked it, or Cup Noodles, but you make it look delicious. You should be a food critic! Happy New Year.
Happy New Year! That one drink from the lunch gave you a bit of trouble even when you poured out 😜 poor Emmy. It's part of why we LOVE you ❤️ You always make us and many others happy and why we chose to bring the new year in with our favorite Lady! Love to you and your family in the new year and always ❣️
these kind of vids are my favs i hope u do more in the future and i hope for more country tasting
I love these MRE videos, Emmy! I hope you know, most of my cooking skills come from you!
In my country, South Africa, Apricot jam is our staple jam and I love it. It is used in pastries and puddings as well as we prefer that slightly tart taste to the overwhelming sweetness of strawberry jam. Our peanut butter and jelly is also done with apricot jam
I'm in nz and apricot jam is my favourite flavour as well. Also my favorite icecream flavour.
Yum apricot jam is my favorite!
I’m in Australia & apricot jam is my favourite too! ☺️
A fabulous NYE feast. I love these ration pack sampling videos.
HAPPY NEW YEAR Emmy !
I love your expressions and commentaries for all your videos! My mom and I watch every Sunday after lunch. Keep doing what you are doing, it’s so enjoyable and entertaining. Like this MRE!!
I bet you could have put some of the beef broth into the potatoes and it would have balanced it out. Sounds good anyway. Happy New Year everyone!🎉
I love your reaction to the soup! You should try the other flavors if you like those crunchy croutons! But it is usually not in a bowl but in a cup! It is actually called cup a soup.
I LOVE your ration taste test videos! I hope there are more headed our way! ❤️
Happy New Year's Eve! Always love your hamburger shirt. Also love the Netherlands so this is my fav MRE vid you've done!
YES MRE!!!!! Love you emmy! Happy New Year! ♥
Love watching you unpack the rations. Happy new year 🎉
this is why I first started watching! these videos are so interesting. happy to see them back. happy New Year Emmy
"it's not spicy, kind of like a curry..". As a born and raised (smalltown) Dutchie, I can tell you most of us are not at all accustomed to spicy food. We mostly(/originally) grew up with boiled and/or steamed potatoes, veggies, some meat and a light gravy as a weekday meal. I never had anything spicy growing up. The first time I used a seasoning like chilli flakes was when I was already in my 20s 🙈
You know that says "Artic" Emmy. They have to share with the polar bears😉🐾 fabulous ration vid tho! These are some of my very favorites of your playlists. Perfect for a kind of quiet NYE. Thanks Emmy! Take care and Happy New Year to everyone.🙏🎉🌷
I love that you are not afraid to try anything! These are my favorite videos.
Aww man I love Emmy’s MRE videos-- let alone any of her videos! Anytime Emmy describes something’s shes eating… I feel like I’m eating too! Lol she describes things soooo well
You always find some crazy stuff to get into Emmy 😁
Isn't the beef bouillon thing supposed to go into the potatoes and beef thing? Give it a little more flavour and salt?
Having had it as broth and with other parts of the MRE, honestly I think I prefer this as a separate broth
It was supposed to be that way, yeah
No the tomato soup and beef bouillon are meant to be prepared in a cup, it’s like a in between fast hot soup drink, mainly office people drink them and people who want to lose weight since it’s around 30cal per mug. The main brand we use in the Netherlands is cup-a-soup
Happy New Year Emmy! May it be a great one for you and your family.
Happy New Year to you Emmy, your wonderful family and all the beautiful lovelies 🎉🙂❤️
was the beef broth supposed to go in the mashed potatoes?
That's what I'd do! A good way to add more flavor
immediately thought this! know i wouldve!
i was thinking that too
That makes sense
Omg. I just thought this as well!
I'm tempted to see if I can order one of those just to see how many days I could live off of it
You'll end up extremely constipated! Just fyi
@@madamebih7825 there’s lotsa fibre though?
@@madamebih7825 well of course, I mean they did not include toilet paper in the ration.
@@kalistamartinez just a quick Google search will explain why they make you constipated
A full package of tissues is in there
Happy new year Emmy!! It’s already 2023 where I’m hailing from! Wish you another good year with good health :) Thank you for always being awesome!
opening year with your videos!! Happy new year, Emmy!!!❤️❤️❤️
The resealable standing bag is actually a Swedish invention and is also in the Swedish rations.
Duuude... Emmy's doing ration videos again!
Cool, been waiting for this! You go, Emmy! 😎
Happy new year Emmy and what a present you give us in this long video and hefty ration. I hope you find more joy and tasty things in 2023!
Emmy, I so enjoy your videos, I just love how you really get excited about certain food and drinks. I love watching your ration videos. Your the best 😊
That's a 24 hour ration??? Wow... seems like you could make all that last 2 days, not just one.
Between the generally high caloric count of 24 hr military ration packs (since they pack enough for someone who is being extremely active while potentially carrying lots of heavy stuff) and the fact that when it's cold you need way more calories to do the same level of activity, you are definitely set up for an absolute feast for the average person
Happy New Year, Emmy! This is the earliest I have ever caught a video.
My 11 year old son and I love your videos! You are such a precious person! Thanks for being you ❤️
Fascinating! I love the ration videos. So much to try; I really didn't think you'd be able to taste everything in one video.
That was a considerable amount of food. The soldiers can’t be permitted to starve to death.. Emmy even just tasting a bit of each is a daunting task. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆
That's such a huge amount of food and caffeine, feels like it could be a 48h ration, but I guess if it's cold and you travel through snow... feels like you could spend the whole day eating though 😅
the dutch are famous for being very tall, and hard workers, they consume a lot of calories
My new favourite Emmy quote, "YEEUOOHHH" @ 10:21
Incredible ASMR crunches in this one, Emmy. Love enjoying your videos!
A blessed 2023 to you and yours Emmy and our online Emmy crew!
May I recommend: if you ever travel in the South of France (not necessarily Provence) look for apricots. I ate an apricot purchased from a stand near Le Gouffre. It was as big as my fist. When I bit into it, the juices ran down my arm. Apricots are next level peaches, if you can find good ones.👍🏻💯🤗💋I have never found a decent apricot stateside…I believe they exist-most likely in your region. Please, do some research. A good fresh apricot is like nothing else. I learned that as a true surprise.
Even dried they are very good. I have some that I chop up for cake filling with jam and sometimes nuts. :)
Yes, I had apricots in Toulouse and couldn't get enough
16:26 for Emmy's mating call
Another great video, Happy New Year Emmy!
Wonderful video to end off the year! Cheers! 🎉
Did I miss the "itadakimasu" today? 😲 Ah! I got one @ 26:47. Such relief! 😊
Thank you Cinder Man. I was beginning to think I had drifted off. Wonder if that was deliberate to see if we were paying attention.
apricot is my favourite jam!!! crazy that you haven't had it, it's quite popular here in germany and surroundings :) my mom makes it in the summer and its the best
Omg..everytime I watch your ration videos I get hungry... it is just the way you present it 😄..a full asmr experience 🤣 A happy and delicious new year to you,too 🥳 Emmy.
Happy new year, Emmy! Can't wait for more content this year
Yay! Currently learning Dutch and I love learning about new cultures so when I saw you posted this I was high over the moon to watch 😂 Happy New Years Emmy! 🎉
Dutch people are really nice and full of good ideas. HNY!
@@albin2232Agreed! Great food too! 😋
Veel succes Johnny.Ik hoop dat het je een beetje wil lukken. Gelukkig Nieuwjaar. Groeten uit Nederland.
Gelukkig Nieuwjaar!
Here's a completely useless, but hilarious phrase the Dutch actually use, if you don't already know it l: "Helas pindakaas." It means "unfortunately, peanut butter." As I understand it, it loosely translates to "It is what it is."
I absolutely love when you try rations…. You are right, this one was huge! I don’t think I could ever eat that all in 24 hours and I am a big girl.
Love how descriptive you are! Happy New Year🎉
omg, another ration video to end 2022!! thank you for spoiling us, miss Emmy!
I hope someone is helping Emmy finish all this food, would be a shame if it went to waste!
When I have chocolate bars that have bloom, I have had success carefully heating them a bit in the microwave. Timing is important because it's easy to melt them all over the place. After heating, let them cool.
This is so helpful, a few weeks ago I punted a couple of fancy bars because they were bloomed through and I didn't want to melt it down. Thank you!
Chocolate will oxidize over time, I've actually eaten oxidized chocolate with no ill effects, it's perfectly fine to eat. 👍
@@Birchwood1976 It's safe but the flavor and texture suffers.
I'm thrilled to be able to bring in the New Year with your happy smiling face!
I’ve been watching these videos since 2015, from when your channel name was “emmymadeinjapan” -Love you Emmy, Hope you and your family are doing well and healthy ❤ Happy new year!
They certainy packed a lot into this ration, but being for "arctic" use, it's definitely needed cos cold weather needs more calories to burn... :)
Wonder if mixing the beef bouillon into the mashed potatoes and beef would have added the salty and rich taste.
Happy New Year, Emmy!!!🎉🎉 Reviewing this ration should've ended in a nap😂😂😂!
Yes another MRE ration! I've watched all of your MRE videos & other videos you make! ❤
The Dutch Military always took very good care of the troops .👍
Great video .
Peace , Be Free.
😂 so I’ll go ahead and say that the cinnamon roll is my FAVORITE thing that comes out an MRE. It’s far better than half the shiiii they throw into those meals. Like you’re stuck in the woods for weeks? Those things are to lift your spirits up with a nice cup of coffee.
So cool to see this from my country!! Blessings from the Netherlands!!
Happy New Year to you and your family, Emmy🎇🎉🥳❣️
Fun fact , during ww2 they used apricot jam in teas as a sweetener
