My husband is in the French Army, and he knows those.
1 : never eating it cold (or in really extreme conditions). French soldiers always take the time to eat, and they have cold rations when needed.
2 : those tissues were once labelled to be sanitary paper (to be polite...) And why do you not get that many? Well... Those rations constipates every person eating them.
3 : that cheese was horrible before they changed it. They never ate it, and more often than not, was thrown away or.. used as exercise grenades. And do NOT put that in fire : it explodes ! (and causes terrible burns)
That said, my husband told me the one you have ? Not the worst one ;)
This is the most fascinating addition to the video!!!
I love how they hated the old cheese brand so much they lit it on fire. Guess that's how they figured out it makes good exercise grenades 😅
Thx for sharing very interesting
I once heard, specifically regarding US rations, MRE also means Meal Refusing to Exit. 😂😂😂😂
@@2nd_a_dad4791 that's just so true!
I love how she gives things like this a fair chance, rather than just automatically screaming about how weird it looks, or how it tastes. That is my favorite thing about her videos. She is expressive, but not obnoxiously so. I absolutely love it😍
You should do a 24-hour ration and actually just eat that for 24 hours to see if you feel full!
The standard French ration is 3600 calories. I should hope she'd feel full!
i would luv to see dat
Overfull. These are designed for active young people in harsh conditions so waaay more calories than a civilian needs
Yeah I don't think she'd be able to eat that much lol, 3600 calories is about what my friend eats a day and he's 6'3 235 lbs and he works out 4-5 days a week
Emmy's pretty tiny compared to a typical soldier, so I think she'd be fine. :)
I really appreciate her mature opinions, a lot of other reaction videos are over the top. They always start prejudging the food before they even taste. Or don’t even wanna try the food just cause it might look different or unappetizing. She’s so open minded and willing to give anything a honest try!
You put this into words so much better than I did😂.
I totally agree, her reviews are the best!
It's honestly the best part of her videos.
Absolutely! She's also wonderful at describing how the food not only tastes, but how it feels on the pallet and gives you an immersive experience.
This is why she’s considered one of my favourite UA-cam channels, she’s pretty amazing.
I feel like people either do that or they're so afraid to offend anyone that they just pretend to like everything. Like you said, it's nice to see mature, well-formed opinions.
I'm so excited for the MRE video. They are my absolute favorite and no other creator does them as good as Emmy.
@Steve1989MREInfo Does a great job too
Steve is the god of MRE videos
Yes he is one of the best. I like Emmy's so much because we physically see her eating them. Her facial expressions are what makes her stand out to me.
She has a vocabulary and ability to describe food like a world class expert.
I’m not even surprised the French one is so fancy and well organized lol
I love how your knife was an Opinel - probably the most iconic French camping knife!
She has a voice like honey. So smooth and nice. Could listen to her for hours.
They go all out with French rations. It is just missing a pack of smokes and a bottle of wine.
They used to have a pack of cigarettes and liquor in the war. Hence why so many came home addicted
🤣🤣🤣
Some present day Italian MREs have liquor in them. No, really XD
They still had smokes and whiskey ten years ago, yes
That’s in their rucksack, not in the ration 😂
Missed opportunity: making a s’more with the nougat, chocolate biscuit, and chocolate bar. Extra points if she can figure out how to do it on that mini stove
nougat will not melt well sooo bad smores :/
Oh no... Noigat would not really be good in this. It's heavily honey based and is not really the texture of nougat you see in chocolate bars.
Rather, melt the chocolate and crumble up the biscuits to make cake ;)
Oh no, don't do that. That stove has such a bad chemical smell!
What part of French didn't you understand1!
“Let’s put it on a tray…nice.” Oh how I miss Steve. lol
Nice hiss!
He and Emmy are the ration King and Queen fo sho! I wish they would do a collab!
@@katiecoollady emmys upload schedule is too consistent for them to collaborate 😂
Steve1989 has very recent videos.
Steve is still making content. You know who I miss? Kiwi dude.
Everything in this ration looks delicious. It’s nice to see you enjoying different foods, especially something sent by someone.
Pretty sure it was Napoleon who coined "An army marches on its stomach."
And then he marched his army into Russia.....smh...
@@visi9856 still the comedy of history
It's true though, without morale your army won't succeed. You have to take care of your people if you want your people to take care of you. As far as Napoleon's strategic thinking, I can't really say much on that. LOL
Emmy, I started collecting and eating rations as a hobby from watching you 3 years ago doing these ration reviews.
Which one is your favorite?
That ration actually looked so tasty. By far the best ration I’ve seen.
It makes sense that the country that invented gastronomy would have really nice rations
This looks much nicer than other rations I've seen with the nice muesli and biscuits.
I love how the majority of this video is Emmy being pleasantly surprised by the taste of food that doesn't look so appetizing.
This looks like the tastiest ration she's ever done!
What an incredibly thoughtful ration, toothpicks and resealable tissues and all! Thanks for sharing this experience with us, Emmy.
Have a lemon 🍋
@@3334001 always, with pleasure!
so, as a french person I was surprised by her reaction to resealable tissues... don't you have those in america? O.O it's so basic in france we don't really look at it as if it's incredible or whatever X)
@@grosthanlard7776 I'm an American living in Germany and I also had the same reaction to those tissue packets when I moved here. I thought, "Oh, how nifty!" 😂 I was also surprised at how good quality the tissues were - so thick and strong as opposed to the flimsy ones in the States. Same goes for the toilet paper. 😆
@@GiveMeLemons oh wow! Well I now have learned something... Thanks for your detailed answer, you're an angel
Aaaawn, at 2:59, the way you say "rillette de thon" is absolutly too cute ! sound like "rwillette di son" !
.
.
[the -e in "de" is more like the -u in "dust", & in french the "h" is mainly mute so : th = t , but... we have a lot of exception... a lot of exception about everything X') )
As complicated as French orthography is, at least you can always pronounce unfamiliar words as long as you know the rules. In English, you can’t be 100% sure of the pronunciation of an unfamiliar word without looking it up.
De = duh
@@EnigmaticLucas I was going to say the same. English rules are hard enough for native English speakers to learn....imagine how difficult it must be for non-native English speakers!!!
We have to take English class in all 12 years of school and there are still people who get it all wrong!!!!! 😂
@@EnigmaticLucas Not always, in french, the pronunciation can depend if it was a latin word, greek word, etc.... (and some "corruption" or over-correction of the word, like foetus = fetus, but the "oe" is an over-corruption),
In some words, "-tion" = "-sion" but in other it can be "T - ion", we have a lot of little exception like that :')
But i admit French is much easier in his/is pronunciation than English. I still don't know how to say correctly "Through" or "rough"
@@melissadunton3534 And french is hard enough for french :") !
Actually the pronunciation is the most awkard for French people, because you have some "sound" and "accentuation" we don't use, or we don't even conceptualise as a sound (like the letter "h", that why it's really hard for us to say it when we talk in english)
Was so excited to see a new ration video! Thank you to Alex who sent it!!
Yyyaaayyyy! This is how I fell in love with this channel years ago! 🥰
I DID NOT want her to stop eating the chocolate bar an chocolate cracker....total ASMR💓💓💓💓💓 I almost fell asleep it tingled!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Yeeeeeeeeeey! I joined your channel years ago because of these videos - so happy to see this style again 🤗
Im so excited you brought this back I love this series so much! I hope you decide to do more😊
I always love how excited you get about the simple things. So refreshing! Love you
I miss the ration/MRE videos. Loved them all. Hope you do more in the future.
Hey Emmy reviewed an mre. Been a while since for that and that is how i first found your channel. I have had that menu before and thought it was quite good too.
She’s so proper and fancy with everything. Every little word, every little bite. Never a burp or chewing with her mouth open. Everything so clean and perfect. Her perfect little kitchen with her perfect little lights. That high pitched “mmm” she makes when she finds a taste of something delightful. And that stupid thing she says before eating. And she stole the “ beautiful lovelies” from another you tuber.
I've been watching Emmy try different Rations and surely, this French Ration is the best one so far. My mouth is watering by just watching this video. Everything in this meal looks delish!
I loved the fact that you took the time to eat some cold, alot of the time people heat up rations and comment how nice they taste. I can count on 1 hand the amount of times I got to heat up my food out field. Just a nice little touch.
Looks like the French military were/are eating very well in the field.
Thanks for the video.
Eating in the field..Been a long time since the French Army seen a real battlefield..Since they get their Foreign Legion to fulfill their International commitments..And ain't no Frenchmen in that unit.
@@clothar23 officially there are no French. By definition, and by status. But actually the French constitute 30 percent of the emen in that branch of the army, but they are required to give up their nationality and pretend they are Belgians or Swiss while in the legion... but in all actuality, the French are the most represented nationality in the foreign legion....another strange quirk about the French...sorry to burst your anti French bubble mate... (Of course aside from that, the officers are nearly all French)
And as to the involvement of the French in combat, what you said would be funny if it was not so sadly wrong...oh well...
I flat out squealed with excitement when I saw this video!! The MRE episodes are my legit favorite and I re-watch the old ones alot
Should have tried the Chocolate biscuit with the Strawberry Jam, it's really good.
I was just thinking about how much I love your MRE videos! What a nice surprise.
The way that biscuit breaks when bitten.. It’s so fancyyy.
That has to be one of the most hearty mri I’ve seen..
Very interesting!! I love the detail!!
Emmy, your voice is fine again! Also you looked pretty more energized than the last ramen video. ❤️
Please try karelian stew. Its like the beef carrot stew. 2bayleaves in 2inch deep or deeper casserole dish or Pot. 1-2 handfuls of cubed (1inchx1inch) both Beef cuts and pork cuts of stew kind to your flawor, multiple onions cut to your liking, i prefer bigger chuncks, like at least one big onion. Carrots sliced as much as you want. I prefer 2-3 medium ones. Water with 2 beef Stock cubes or beefstock until everything IS submerged. At least 5 Black peppers and 5 allspice/pimento peppers and etc. Like garlic and paprika powder if you like. Keep in oven on 150°C for as long as you want. Just remember to add water If it gets too low. And serve with mashed potatoes or anything Else, and with the stew and mash, some greens, like thin green beans seared with Bacon and seasoned with Salt and pepper
Carrots must be chopped into ring shape.
My dad was in the french army and we used to eat picnic with this kind of ration when we were kids😅. So much memories. I don’t know if it’s true but in the 90´s french soldiers did say that they could exchange one french ration against four american rations.
Guurrlll! I've totally missed these videos. Thanks for kicking it old school, totally enjoyed this.
Watching this is so comforting just the the old days ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just casually watching this while folding my washing. Now I’m hungry
I was hoping you would post one of these again! I hope you have a wonderful weekend Emmy and all her followers 💙
As a European, my mind is blown that these tissue packets are something special over in the US?? Thought they were universal haha
We've got them in Canada too.
They're available in the USstaffers. The ones I've seen are basically Kleenex so they're great for a lot of things, just don't flush them. I like the seasonal ones. The Christmas themed ones make great stocking stuffers!
in the us most public toilets have toilet paper provided in rolls. it's not like most of the rest of the world where there is nothing.
@@marzsit9833 True, though you have to put some trust in the cleaners and other patrons that the public restroom you visit is clean and well stocked. Many people carry travel tissue just in case. If it's meant to be flushable it comes in a little roll small enough to fit in your purse or backpack. I learned to appreciate the knitting ladies stationed in many European public loos. One I met on a rainy day in Rome. Streets were muddy, but the women's restroom was spotless! I gave her double the going rate and got some tp on the way in and a clean towel, plus some grandmotherly advice, on the way out.
@@marzsit9833 Tons of countries besides USA have TP in their public toilets.
I remember those from my duty time in french army in the 90s. From my personal experience, those are really tasty and filling. The real drawback is the heating system. The fuel ALWAYS gives a bad taste to the hot meals, however you try to manage. We tried everything to avoid to contaminate the meal with the bad fuelly smell (wind direction, only opening the can on some millimeters, and so on), to no avail. After some time most of us just ate the stuff cold.
There is always a healthy contraband going when you have inter-armies exercises. Going rate is two UK or US rations for a French one.
Thank you Emmy for bringing some joy to my life.
I know the feel of eating cold rations. Also breaking apart your rations and shoving different things in different pockets, pouches, and random hiding spots.
Yay Emmy we love to see you back to your roots! Your ration taste testing is how I found you years ago!
That beef stew honestly looks amazing. I'd eat that any day.
"Let's get this out on a tray. Nice."
Every meal comes with a desert, even an aperitive😁👍. The french live up to their reputation.🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🍾🥳
12:16 camera #1 was like "mmmkay this is taking too long, I'm gonna have a coffee and BRB" 😂
My god , her voice is like velvet when you're trying to wind down
Thank you. :)
Your french is good Emmy... bye bye xx
Love the way you get excited, Im just like you! Love life!
This is probably my fave ration video ever
The MOD in the UK has 18 different MRE's that cater for every religion/diet in the UK.
Hey you were spot on with "champignons" 👌
Campbell's used to make a bunch of different instant soups when I was a kid. Mushroom soup was one of them. I used to absolutely love it.
What do you do with the rest of the MRE when you are done with the taste test?
Great blouse!
I love how in every video after you eat a bit of something you go "mmmhhhhmm" you need a shirt that says that!
I love it when Emmy takes a bite or a sip out for something and then she giggles and it sounds as if she's saying "ooommmm nom nom" lol
Yay! I've missed your MRE videos! ❤️
Using the famous OPINEL french knife to taste a french MRE, that was a nice touch!
Beau of the fifth column says they are worth the extra money. I've never had them but I liked the old school mre things going around in the 80s and 90s
Awe Strawberry Shortcake doll! I instantly knew the smell lol 💜
Yay another ration video! I love emmys ration videos the best! Please make more!
This was a fun assessment! I love when you go, "Mhm!" 🙂
When I was coming up, I always enjoyed the nougat bars more.
Love that blouse 👚. Absolutely precious.
I would love to have this segment back, there is no better than an Emmy MRE reviews
I miss you mre videos so this is Definitely a treat ❤️
YES! Another ration video! 😃
I loved the smell of strawberry shortcake figures!!! Looked like a nice MRE! Looked like real meals!!
Awww yay, I miss Emmys Mre tasting! Also Love your top and how it matches the carbonara 😂
Figurines! I miss those. The vanilla and lemon were good.
Finally another ration video!!! These are my favorite videos of yours!!!☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
I missed the old classic ration reviews! :D
Yayyy for more military rations! I’ve missed these soooo much.
The french "cheese and fruit " knife is cool.
It should be noted that the French soldiers have in a strong canvas pouch which is worn on the belt a set: knife, fork, spoon and corkscrew.
The French soldier must be the only soldier in the world who receives a corkscrew as an endowment...
wow - this would go really well as camping food, tiny stove, etc
what a delicate touch to taste this meal using our national knife: the opinel n°8
Thanks for making these videos interesting. Most of the ones I ve watched are like watching paint dry.
Happy St Jean everyone!!! 🎉🎊🎉🎊
Yes! MRE vids are my fave!
All this food looks really good.
Been missing these videos!! Love it!
That’s a lot of food for a person in 24hours! French government is so generous to their soldiers. I hope every soldier in the world can have that. Especially here in my country.
in france we value food. it's considered a national heritage. as a french person I thought it was not that much for 24h, if you exercise as much as a soldier do... but I guess I am too used to have a lot of food X)
Aaahhh~ I missed these videos! ♡♡♡
I heard somewhere if you break your fuel uo a little it is easier to light.
love when you do ration videos🤩
Love your vids emmi.love discovering food / recipes with you
You made this fun! And those are my dishes! Pink Tower
I’m reminded that French army rations during the Napoleonic Wars are the reason American Cheese was invented - so cheese could be canned without separating from its fat content and becoming inedible.
I love that you have an opinel.
After trying these rations from all over, so you ever have time to cook for yourself (other than the rations) ? Great videos, when I watch I get hungry as well.
