[Music] [Music] this is an Armed Forces of Belarus 24-hour combat ration this ration weighs four pounds six ounces and it contains approximately 3,400 calories let's check it out we've got a Content she says it's best before December 2018 got some freeze-dried coffee cowberry Kissel it's like a hot beverage strawberry Kissel got some turkey pate processed ham chicken Pat said a small 53% dark chocolate bar and sugar these are pretty interesting they look like there's some sort of strawberry-scented moist towelettes something to clean up with here's some buckwheat crisp bread and some sort of bran crisp bread mixed berry jam windproof waterproof matches portable stove with fuel tabs and here's some buckwheat porridge with beef pearl barley with beef and then this is chicken and sauce sounds pretty clear then at the bottom you got a what looks to be a trash bag some fairly basic paper towels and some bright red cutlery not bad let's rooster it off with breakfast alright for breakfast when we starting the day off right with some buckwheat porridge with beef some chicken pate and mixed berry jam to go on those buckwheat crispbreads and some coffee all right so let's get this out onto a tray nice some kicks let's first check out that stove oh wow they just have loose fuel tabs just sitting right in this paper pack inside if this pack is like waxed so it does have some waterproofing it's not this thing here all right so let's check out that main course the beef and buckwheat nice little hiss that's a nice savory smell oh yeah that's lit we'll see how well that does just like that it's already making a nice little sizzle not bad that's actually a really good test not dumping it until like a mess cup or anything like that just how well does a heat just straight out of that can yeah that's really doing its thing let's check out that coffee the whole smells like a light roast oh yeah and the light granule - wow that's really cooking that food smells like a a burger on the grill like a nice juicy beef burger like on the grill right now it's what that smells like spit and grease everywhere that's why I got those paper towels laying all around it enter some sugar in that coffee - look at that thing let's check out that crisp bread that's a kind of generic wheat smell to them I got a try a little bite just a nice Airy crisp and the mixed berry jam that looks nice let's try a tiny bit of this real quick that has a brilliant sweet tart raspberry blueberry and strawberry they only give you one portion of this though I mean it's not too bad one coffee one jam a lot of meat actually I noticed with four different animals you got pork beef chicken and turkey let's see what these things are all about these things practically feel like baby wipes that have a thin cloth I have the nicest sweet strawberry smell to them wow this is very moist little thing it's kind of small and looks a little bit flimsy but it's pretty decent so then chicken pate that doesn't really have much of a smell to it hmm that's a fine whipped pate I think they're those are pieces of carrot in there it tastes a carrot or pumpkin that is so interesting it is very fine oh wow this is so unexpected I didn't even I just ended up getting caught up in this chicken pate before getting that main course over actually that can over there burnt on the bottom it's probably molten hot so I'm gonna let it sit for just a second all right now for the main course Oh we'll leave that nice crispy ring at the bottom oh yeah that's the part that smelled like the burger on the grill nice all right so there it is breakfast the biggest and most complicated meal of the day so I'm probably going to get rid of the not so classy piece of oh yeah that smells actually kind of sour hmm that's very oily savory the pieces of beef they're really shredded they're tiny shredded pieces of beef perfect for breakfast this is like really easy to eat too the buckwheat check that grain out has a great wholesome consistency again that high fat content makes it really appealing it helps bind the flavors it so gives it this kind of like certain viscosity that's like really satisfying but it has a slight canned flavor it goes great with the crisp bread Wow it's definitely a light roast as a moderate amount of acidity to it and not bitter at all so then the chicken pate on some crisp bread you know that pate is probably my favorite part of breakfast here it's so creamy light pleasant and enjoyable it's like a buttery incredible pate these crispbreads they really remind me of the Czech Republic ration crisp bread really makes this pate even that much more enjoyable it's like the perfect texture combination yeah this Jam has such a nice natural flavor to it came across like a piece of blueberry in it too there's just not enough of this amazing mixed berry jam you know the main course here really reminds me something you'd get out of Russian ration really has a home-cooked feel about it it's filling some jam with chicken pate gourmet I was a perfect combination so yeah this rations a lot like a cross between like a Russian Kazakh and check in terms of like its components and you know overall quality this ration from Emory Mountain if you look into by rations that's the guy to get him from well it definitely didn't heat evenly throughout the the can there are parts of that they're pretty hard that's okay this pate with the crisp bread definitely the best part of this breakfast and some pretty decent coffee I'm actually pretty full might get a few more bites of this beef and buckwheat then later on today I'm gonna take it over to lunch alright we're back with lunch here gonna be starting off with that chicken and sauce as our main course then some turkey pate to go along with that brand crisps bread and then some cowberry Kissel alright so let's get this out onto a tray nice ok let's first start off of that cowberry Kissel some sort of fruit drink with some vitamin C in it add it to 175 millilitres has a brilliant and inviting tangy almost kind of reminds me of a cross between strawberry and cranberry the smell okay so then the main course chicken and sauce that has a little bit more about oh that smells great that's like a very savory and inviting chicken broth kind of smell there's a little bit more of a liquid be much easier to pour into a mess cup and actually heat up a little bit easier and more efficiently than that straight out of the can yeah it's gonna be much better you see the main course for breakfast didn't he even lay through so it's just those last couple bites were cold we don't want that happening this time those are probably the most noxious fuel tablets like horrible to breathe in especially indoors more so than your average ration fuel tab so we're gonna go with something that burns a little bit cleaner alcohol gel this stuff's amazing got this out of a Brazilian ration nice I think that's going to be a lot more efficient than that fuel tablet that it burned pretty hot but it burned pretty dirty so now let's check out the brand crisp bread and Turkey pate this looks a little bit darker in color than the last crisp bread I saved the others there were still a few left from breakfast so I'm going to save those for dinner these are definitely darker in appearance and also a lot more brutally than the last ones these didn't hold up as well that's a nice stack a brand crisp bread it's in the turkey pate you know that chicken pate was unusual had great flavor let's see how this will be looks pretty standard kind of has a pork pate pink look to it I gotta try out this Kissel I've never had Kissel in my life is the first time it looks to have thickened up I'm just gonna try a little bit it's really hot you're supposed to add it to boiling water mm-hmm it's slightly gelatinous it's a it has a thickener it tastes absolutely amazing it's tangy tart sweet this is where you're getting your vitamin C mmm Cal berry never had kalbarri that really does taste like a cross between strawberry cranberry and like a a hint of raspberry mouth-watering goodness with an amazingly unique consistency look at that it's it's like runny drinkable jello that's hot that's amazing so then the turkey pate all the pile of bran crisp bread it's just they give you a lot of crisp bread which is nice it's pretty versatile you knew a lot with it you could break this brand crisp bread up and could practically make a porridge out of it if you really want it to be nice for breakfast yeah spreadable turkey patties is brie soft like butter oh wow I literally had to eat that all in one bite that brand crispbread totally broke apart the turkey pate not nearly as complex in flavor as say the chicken pate chicken pate literally tasted like it had pumpkin in it it was unusual there was somewhat exotic but then this on its own let's try a little bit on its own you know it's pate it's pretty standard but it's still not bad a nice basic little side for the day gives you something to eat while you're waiting for your main course to heat up I'm gonna save some of these Chris breads for dinner that's more like it any course is doing its thing not bad all right that main course is probably heated up by this point there we go looking good check out that chicken this is probably when the nicest pieces of chicken I've ever seen in a ration component look at that it's so minimally processed it's fantastic now that looks decent perfectly heated meal this has an amazing smell to it when they say chicken and sauce I guess it's almost like chicken and broth let's try out that broth first mmm that's incredible onion garlic I can taste that carrot you can see the carrot such a small amount of it but it really does add to the flavor maybe that it's like really tender slow cooked chicken I love that they give you a fork in this ration that is cool well it's so tender that is like probably one of the most delicious meat components I've ever had an irrational that chicken it's so slow cooked you don't have to eat around boning you just eat the bone - it's so soft things probably cooked all day in a crock-pot or something that's how it seems like look at that when it comes down to the quality and flavor of an actual canned ration this is littered easily in the top five best can drache ins loose right here mmm that bite was so tender the broth is exquisite has a fair bit of chicken fat in it the chicken fat I mean it really helps the flavors bind bolsters to calorie content and just makes it taste good because fat makes anything taste better pretty much and this isn't low fat the brand it pairs perfectly with it let's see if I'm fighting this bone here this is a pretty thick bone yeah look at this I'm literally eating this bone never enjoyed eating a chicken bone in my wife and even this it's filled with flavor this chicken is wow most unexpected I've never even had that before actually this is some of the best chicken I've ever had in my life I'm amazed right now this is like one of those moments in eating irrational or you like make a food discovery this is something I want to go on a nice rainy cold camping trip and huddle up and some shelter and eat this meal right here and the crisp bread absorbs that soft perfectly go back there to some turkey pates pales in comparison the pate is good but that chickens the best thing in this ration you know this chicken right here is definitely on my top 10 best main courses I've ever had in a ration the turkey pate is a little bit bland on its own but if it pairs perfectly with brand crisp bread the brand actually has more flavor than that pate Kissel it's almost like a fruit soup not overly sweet too which is nice it's like a thick slightly gelatinous hot fruit drink that is really nice it's refreshing to really can't go wrong well I'm gonna finish up the rest of this lunch here I'm gonna take it over to dinner all right now we're back with dinner got some pearl barley with beef little canna processed ham some strawberry Kissel a small dark chocolate bar and then the rest of that bran and buckwheat crisp bread all right so let's get this out onto a tray nice okay let's first start off with that Wow that's a nice little hiss pearl barley with beef I'm gonna scoop this in here real quick all right so there we go look at that it really breaks out to quite a bit of food it was very dense in that can like the beef and buckwheat and I definitely want it to heat properly oh yeah that's lit looking good okay so now let's check out that strawberry Kissel I was just bursting with a strawberry sweet slightly tangy kind of smell not a tiny bit less water this tide listen to that main course doing its thing yeah this was definitely better the fat there's a lot of fat in this and I'll render they'll keep it from sticking so now let's check out the processed ham now that is some serious processed ham well it smells like bacon not bad so then the little luxe brand chocolate bar that's got no bloom on it at all rations less than a year old so that's everything just gonna let this main course cook up a little bit let's go for some of that ham at all slopped out and one fell swoop Pam so let's try a slice you could slice like this and probably fry this up that's some seriously good ham that is better than spam I'll say that a couple steps up actually savory smokey salty and satisfying processed ham I keep eating I have even put on any crisp bread yet probably would have been perfect for breakfast say like if you took this and cut it you know thin like that and if you could fry it yeah this is nice it's not spreadable at all and it doesn't matter it's almost easier you know you don't have to worry about spreading it just throw it on you know this really works well that brand crisp bread the brand is better than the buckwheat crisp bread much more flavorful but I will say the buckwheat holds it some form a little bit better this brands a little really that's top-notch the Kissel strawberry Kissel I think it thickens after about ten minutes it's still pretty thick but it gets thicker mmm that is such a nice satisfying natural strawberry flavor it's better with less water too I'm gonna let it sit a little more because it gets thicker once it cools off so here's dinner this smells incredible and this really does have that homemade home-cooked kind of smell and appearance and if it's anything like the last two meals the taste as well so let's check out that pearl barley beef that is very smooth the texture and consistency that high fat content it's just like that breakfast that that's smooth texture to your palate really easy to eat this is delicious hmm definitely if you get a Belarusian 24 hour take the meat the main course is out of the cans and even though it might be a little bit more work scooping them out they heat much better in a mask also this has a higher fat content than the beef and buckwheat Wow I some tender slow-cooked beef with a slight chew it's so high in fat that it literally feels like I have chapstick on my lips because it's just so greasy this would have been great for breakfast ooh look at that that is just some wholesome home-cooked kind of style Belarusian food if you like wanted to try food from other countries and you don't have the money to travel there next best thing is to buy their military ration hmm the buckwheat crisp bread after trying the brand it's not nearly as good wow that's bland crisp bread that's like what you put your pate on this brand crisp bread this is really actually I take most of it and break it up with that chicken sauce from the lunch main course but with something like this the brand flavor has a slight malty undertone to it that really accentuates any and all of the flavors of the components in this ration the buckwheat crisp bread isn't nearly as good this Kisel definitely thickens up after it cools off it's almost like it has some sort of fruit pectin in it then let's check out this chocolate wow that's smooth that's some good quality dark chocolate 53% it's not too strong and it's not too weak a chocolate really still a very small portion size but it's satisfying this is the smoothest chocolate that I've had since that Danish ration session really does kind of have it all interesting really good wholesome food the pates are awesome the little mini stove works well I mean the the main course is they heat up straight out of the can but it's ideal to heat them out of a mess cup but it's nice to know you can do both this is true good move right here god finish up that last little piece of ham there we go well this was quite the experience and armed forces of Belarus 24-hour combat ration all I got left are some crisps breads the brand definitely eating these the buckwheat crisp bread probably just gonna give that to my dog definitely an awesome ration well anyway this is Steve 1989 off memory info hope you liked the video and I'll be coming back at you with something new world all right cool see it you

This one looked really delicious. I’m not an MRE person, I just like Steve’s videos for some odd reason but even I would try this one!
