2014 Greek Individual Combat Ration 24 Hour MRE Review Meal Ready to Eat Taste Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 бер 2018
- Check out this Hellenic Armed Forces (Greek) 24 hour MRE! Turns out about half of this ration was missing! Here is a list of the missing contents:
2x small packet of Honey
1x pack of Aspirin
1x pack of water purification tablets
6x packets of gel fuel
4x packets of sugar
1x pack creamer
1x packet of Ceylon tea
1x packet of salt
1x packet of Nescafe instant coffee
1x pack of matches
1x metal fuel and cooking holder
1x small pack of toilet paper
That means I am still looking for a complete Hellenic 24 Hour Ration so we can come back with a complete and proper review of a ration that quite frankly has not been properly documented in the U.S. as of yet. This ration seems very complete and compact if you include those missing contents - so it is safe to assume it is actually a very good ration. Still on the hunt after all!
Huge thanks to mremountain.com/ for sending in this ration! Check out MREmountain's shop, he sells US and International Rations!

"It's very... Spartan." Couldn't resist the obvious pun, heh?
A well placed pun is always appreciated.
Putting periods makes these comments seem so pretencious lol.
I thought the same thing
@@chiefcaptn1922 Especially when you misspell words.
@cristopher wong THEN, AND AGAIN, SING OF 300 MEN
I would have combined the peas and the pork.
MattMonk i
Nice!
I came here to say that lmao
Well it would be inefficient because if a soldier doesn't like peas then what will he do?
not combine them i assume?
Steve as a Hellenic Army veteran I have to tell you they dont put any forks knifes etc or toilet paper in the ration itself as we carry all these things on our back on the M71 bag which we are obliged to carry at all times with these things in it plus a flask of water, a small tray, shaving kit, instant coffee and sugar and a pair of clean socks....so the only thing we only need is the ration of canned food itself....
It does contain exactly what Steve added in his video description above and was missing from the one in the video. I don't remember if it contained any tea though.
thessalonician it has tea and nescafee with sugar
Your country is bankrupt congratulations
@@borisjohnson7799 with your help...?
MaGioRaS that makes no sense I have nothing to do with Greece and how they went bankrupt. I am not sure the full story on how exactly they went bankrupt. Maybe poor decisions from their politicians. Maybe the country overspending on certain things. Maybe just bad times in general and nobodys fault. I am not sure as I don't look into that part of this. But their rations do look pretty good.
Those cans are a pretty good quality can brand! I am Greek and as one I have served in the army. The food was OK in general (deoending on the cooks). But I have never seen the MRE special forces have! I was amazed with the quality of the food! Awesome vid man!

@@legalizerapingrussianbroad8299 okay then
As a current soldier serving in the Hellenic Presidential Guard, this video makes me incredibly happy for some reason...
Some hints for the "Basic" look of the ration. Rations like these are mainly used on exercises due to the "defensive only " objectives of the army. Field kitchens are usually in close proximity so the use of rations of these type is uncommon and used by the Special Forces branches mainly.
As for the "gouda cheese", this thing is given to the army free of charge lol. Its basically whats left of the cheese production and put inside a tin can.
Edit: Btw, those hardtacks are basically packing almost 200 calories each. Its like eating a loaf of bread really...
Greetings from Greece Steve
What sort of meals do the field kitchens produce?
pretty much anything..from soups to stews to potatoes anything based on the military diet
I'm guessing it's also basic because Greece is basically financially broke. It still gets the job done though.

How is the bankruptcy o your country going?
Holy hell, that's 4B! I packed thousands of those during my service! The ration packs we made contained two pork meals with tomato, curry or lemon sauce, a can of either peas or dolmadakia, gouda cheese and crackers. There was also a smaller bag inside the pack that contained instant coffee, tea, sugar, salt, aspirin, raisins, matches and solid fuel. Thanks for the video!
Did the smaller accessories bag come in a different pack? Or is Steve's ration just, randomly missing its accessory bag?
@Goldmarble
It's missing. It seems that it's been opened and the resealed.
The pack that was excluded had the following:
2x small packet of Honey
1x pack of Aspirin
1x pack of water purification tablets
6x packets of gel fuel
4x packets of sugar
1x pack creamer
1x packet of Ceylon tea
1x packet of salt
1x packet of Nescafe instant coffee
1x pack of matches
1x metal fuel and cooking holder
1x small pack of toilet paper

Aspirin with a ration is quite wonderful.
I love that he’s never changed his format or presentation. It makes all his vids timeless and equally excellent in quality
Nice
16:07 this is called "papara" in greek
The Greek MRE is basic because the Greek soldier that fights anywhere inside the Greek territory is always close to a supply line so they don't need a ton of survival material. The Greek army is not an offensive one and it's mostly designed to repel attackers and fight inside the borders hence there's no need for expensive rations that the US military uses for instance.
George Athanasiou yep
Good Point.
Who do the Greeks fight with in this day and age? I mean military confrontations.

@@Bouzoukiellas oh stfu , your country claims all the islands belongs to them ( and waters 10 Miles in radius) and we the conqueror mongols we are dont give fuck about your claims and claim our own . So dont make it like we are the agressors . Fecking Greek , your army is only can be agressive against civilians .
I am from Greece. Other Greek MREs used to have a mini alcohol stove, coffee, sugar, napkins etc. Fork and Spoon not included because everyone carries his own. All these canned meals can be found in every super market, except the cheese. It's produced just for the army needs and It's better if you can melt it first. But generally it has much less staff than other MREs.

Even MREs need friends.
I spent 30 years in the army and I thought I'd never want to see another mre again!! But you're actually interesting to watch!! You get some pretty unique items!!
Ok, let me drop some knowledge on you:
- The biscuits are very thick and hard. You will need lots of water to wash them down with.
- The cheese is kinda gross, until you learn how to cook it fondue style. Essentially, you cut it in a star pattern (4 lines, intersecting in the middle) and you put it to cooking. Once it stars to rise you must start turning it, into it's all melted. A little might get burned on the bottom, depending on the heat. Congratulations! You have some nice fondue to enjoy with your biscuits. Once I was taught the trick I even had it at home. Love it!
Christos Damaskos nice!
I would cook the peas the pork and the melted cheese together and break the biscuits into it.

Older rations also contained heating device with fuel, tea, coffee, water purifications tablets, multivitamin tablet, matches, paper tissues and honey. Last few years we are cutting off expenses so we stick with the absolute basics. I should know .. i am currently serving in the Hellenic Army as a Major of the Supply and Transport Corps. Thanks Steve for your sincere presentation of our rations.

Almost every time I visit Greece, I try local hangouts. I went to one place away from the tourist areas, where they had peas served just like that. They had fresh dill and saffron. I learned Greek Saffron is a red spice that is grown in Northern Greece and harvested in October. It really makes great rice dishes as well. It’s extremely inexpensive in Greece compared to our Country. Also had wild boar that they caught in a mountain village eating all the grapes. The pork was the best I ever had. Greeks like to serve awesome food. Their prepackaged or junk food it so much better than our garbage. I thought this video to be interesting since my Husband’s cousin is currently serving in the Greek Military. What shocks me is there’s no coffee. Greeks love their coffee.
Hi Steve!
First of all i want to thank you for your amazimg description on this video.
I'm greek veteran in greek marines. This food basically are the greek MRE at exercise field.
We dont have a variety of foods or drinks.
As one greek friend said,any staff for food and drinking ,we carry them in our bergen like water,spoon and other.
I wish you the best.
Greetings from Greece.
2 vids in a row? You just made my day. For one additional reason as well. I have some insight to offer egarding the MRE!
As a Greek, I served in the northern region of Greece and in the most gruesome - in Greek standard millitary training/service - millitary region, Evros-Orestiada-N.Vyssa.
I served in 503 advanced/concealed force - borderline - infantry battalion (Frontier Defense) from May 2013 to February 2014 and I can confirm that this is the Special Forces standard ration.
It is a tad bit different than the infantry's standard ration. Most specifically the can of pork seasoned with tomato sauce is strictly for the special forces unit.
The "crackers" are called "Διπυρίτης" which is a mixture of rusk and cookie/crackers made of wheat flour, water and baked salt. If it can be preserved and stored in room temperature it can last for many years. It is extremely high on calories, pretty tasteless too and it is considered a common treat in the entire Greek/Hellenic millitary. It's also extremely helpful in snowy regions with low temperature as it can raise blood pressure and eventually keep you warm enough to be able to be alert.
Now as far as it concerns the 4B, the safest bet is that this is slightly incomplete. There are several things missing as fellow Trash Man user commented below.
The standard 4B for infantry contains 1 can of dry meat, (Pork is mostly for special forces) 1 can of Swan (ham), 1 pack of Gouda cheese , 1 can of peas or beans, 1 pack of coffee - standard nescafe, 1 pack of tea, 3 packs of sugar, multivitamins, 4 packs of water purification tablets and a pack of raisins. This is totally a repackaged ration. Lot of content missing. That's pretty much it. Thank you for this Steve!
Kostas Stamos Thanks for the info !

Good info, Thanks.
Did you really need to write all that...
Finally something about my country from my favourite channel!
Hi Steve, I enjoy your videos a lot. I was about to write you what was missing from the pack, but then I read your description. At the Hellenic Army we call the meat that you had Godzilla, as it's considered that it was canned 280 years ago (approx.). Therefore, I still remember that the cheese and the beef was surprisingly nice. The biscuits which are more like a hard rusk they could easily have you stuffed. Story says that these contain several calories for that reason.
Greek style peas is called Arakas in Greek, and is a very tasty and simple to prepare traditional dish (fry chopped onions, add carrot and potato slices, add the peas, half cover with water, add tomato juice, olive oil, pepper, dill, let them boil till most of the water evaporate. When it looks like the canned one (40' approx), you'll have a delicious Arakas).
I served in the logistics core of the Greek Army, The oldest meat I saw was 8 months old from the stamps of the abattoir. And this was the deep frozen stuff (-35C).

Your package is missing the accessory pack. Greek MREs always came with one.
Yeah, it includes your fuel and that little iron thing you cook on, salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, tea, a few water purification tablets just in case, and of course, directions, which show nutritional value among other things which (I don't remember exactly) is quite big, over 4k calories probably. Those biscuits make like half of that value, they're packed with carbs.

Your respect for these rations and for the men and women eating these rations under their circumstances is why I keep watching your videos.
The Hellenic Army always offer meat/fish/dairy-free meals (here, the peas in oil) for the soldiers who observe the fasting days of the Orthodox Church.

"It's very Spartan."
heh
50sts epic statement
When we trained with the Greeks they melted the cheese in with their main course.
Trigger Hippie where do they put Gouda on a pizza?
I always thought it was mozzarella
FisherCat 1 up north they put gouda on pizza. they still use mozarella too, but youd have big chunks of gouda here and there. also seen it done with ricotta as well
Cool. I never knew. Learn something everyday
I kept saying "put some cheese in with the pork/beef!" at my screen, haha. Glad to know I'm not alone. (Also I feel he should've tried the pork and peas together?)
"IT'S BLAND!"
Steve is turning into Gordon Ramsy.
Your positivity really makes your videos special. Is like the Bob Ross of the MRE
Maybe the pork should have been mixed with the peas.
I love how positive Steve is about everything.
Steve I love your channel "let's get this onto a tray!... Nice!... mkay" get's me so happy every time.
Just wanted to say thanks for having Closed Captions so well done on almost all of your videos!
I can't believe he didn't mix the peas and pork together.. would have added the extra flavor the pork needed.
Great review though!👍
4 years later and I just wondered the same thing lol.
Ι was in the Hellenic army ..the cheese we always heat it up and then it was good...never eat it like this

well said
I just read some silly comments down below. Guys this is not the normal food soldiers eat during the day in their home units. In your unit you get proper meals (breakfast, lunch ,dinner) This is rations ready to eat during war or maybe exercises when the soldiers won't be able to get proper warm food from their units. Thanks.
What a NICE ration video...

Why are you everywhere I go?
The little bits in the cheese is calcium and is a sign of a really good cheese
I really like watching all these food ration videos Steve,keep em coming.
Steve, upon research, the *accessory pack* is MISSING. Your box was resealed.
It didnt look like there was room in the box
A guy who actually served in the Hellenistic army, who commented about a year after you, said that they don’t have an accessory pack because they carry the utensils and toilet paper and whatnot in their backpacks so there’s no need to put them into the MRE
Two videos in a row?! NICE
Carla Zambelli you're beautiful and funny
Shane Norton half way in
I've tried many of these busicuits during my time in the army (their name is the Greek word for biscuit) and from what I can tell the difference between the color and taste are the result of inconsistent baking with each batch, some were underbaked and some were overbaked, the ubderbaked taste sweetish and the overbaked ones taste more savory. Awsome vids!
"It seems very... Spartan." *looks at the camera with a hint of a smile.*
Steve's back....NICE
It's great to be back redsoxfan900!
Hi I was in Greek army , toilet pepper,knife,water,toothbrush and other items for everyday use are in M71 is a small bag and the solder have this bag always with him !
Question: did the rations have better stuff in them before the economic difficulties?
LordBitememan when I was at 2003 we get those rations only when we go for training outside of base for many days , we sleep on tents for days and we eat rations to test them XD , but then there was spoons , some paper towels , a white thing to heat the cans a metal mini stolve , the food inside was like that but there was 3 different food boxes, the only same can with the video is the cheese!
"Toilet *pepper* "
In Greece i think the budget for military stuff was for better quality than this but middle men looked to gain profit over those military expenses . So the ypothetical cost of one ration is 35 euros and the actual cost is 5 . And the 30 is profit for the middle men. Thats one of the causes of the economic difficulties, many middle men put their hands in public money.
@@1man_topo , rubbish.
Id eat everything in there. That's impressive.
The pork in the can looks like cat 🐈 food to me

When Steve says "Listen to these biscuits!" and you lean in, you know you've probably watched too many MRE videos today.
Am I alone in finding "let's get this out on a tray...nice" extremely comforting.

They give a second package with all the kitchen staff with some pills to purify the water, make tea or coffee. The cheese stands as dry or you can cook it as sauce within the containers.

I have been pre-filming a lot the past month and a half. The prep work alone on a few of these projects and the cost is somewhat incredible. Stay tuned, I am finally coming out with some WW1 ration videos and also something from the Boer War.
In short, that is probably the longest gap of no releases this channel will have for quite some time. Back in business.
Steve1989MREInfo Wow I'm not the original commenter but I'm excited that's for sure!
Steve, your ability to pick the most unusual (and good) rations just take your channel to the top of the charts! I hate reviews of basic hamburger rations over and over again. Steve, you are the BEST!
Love this channel and Steve you rock. I been watching a few years now and just noticed this and just think it's a funny lil thing that the "safest for indoor use" stove fuel is the gel that apparently has an invisible flame lol. I've heard you mention how safe the gel is for indoor use and seen you light the gel before but just never realized the invisible flame thing and invisible fire is terrifying.

ΚΑΛΗΜΕΡΑ from greece keep up the "NICE" work !!!!
Hey Steve!The peas were supposed to be eaten together with the meat,like mixed together,much better this way.Its another tradional greek recipe.
But having served in the greek army i can tell you that the whole greek army cousine is a bit average and boring,but the ingredients are top quality and balanced.
p.s. :All the stuff this ration contained can be found in any grocery store around greece,they are commercial brands and also pretty average in taste.
kick nanta Did they issue a ration heater/stove to heat the food? Also any coffee or juice or just water from your canteen?
Haris Manou thanks for the info
kick nanta I was thinking the same thing. Meat is eaten with the peas and they should be both warm. The meat will be covered with the "Pea Sauce" and take some extra taste
Hey could you tell me what brand that 2nd beef and beans meal is? And those peas? Looks great and love to see if I can get some. Thanks.

I like all these things you have today. The cup you cooked the pork in, the little stove, your fancy canteen. Fancy.
Greeting from Greece Steve. Most of the ingredients of the MRE can be found in a supermarket in civilian forms and rather cheeply {that may explain the pictures on the cans}. Greek troops are expected to carry their utensils with them. Although wet wipes are nowhere to be found in Hellenic Army formally, most troops carry pocket sized packages with them. Coffee, tee, sugar, salt, pepper, fresh salad and soft drinks are provided in crates not in MREs. Greek army is directed in defencive combat, so alot of small luxuries are provided through mass supply lines. Nominally I cannot remember a time I ate more Feta cheese than in the Army. And yes this hardtack is at the same time nice but also too thirst provoking. Although, not really modern styled, I heard many stories from sergeants, during NATO training operations, of Greek troops exchanging cans of beef and green beans with troops from other contries after the first days, for virtually anything, because of the "fresher more homecooked taste" of the cans.
Don't really know if it's true, but I have heard the same story too many times to be completely false.
I know only one thing for sure this "gouda cheese" surely sucks. :P
I will second the story of exchanging.
There is a fumy thing with that cheese. Everyone hates it when is doing his service, then everyone long for it after a while!
Should mix the peas into the meat.
He had said the peas were supposed to be served cold, since they're "Greek style"
why do I like these videos so much
Happy to finally see some of my country's mre meals here
