emrah malkoc ulan bu dangozun balı çaya sıkmasına sinirlenip balımıza sahip çıkan Türkleri ararken senin mallıklarına denk geldim daha sinirlendim istersen van kahvaltısı koysunlar gerizekalı
Love Turkey. Stationed there in the early 90's. Great people, food... I miss it a lot. I went to a school with two Turk officers in 2003, very professional and friendly.
Yogurt is the most consumed food in Turkey (not one of the most, the most consumed). Turkish yogurt is not sweet at all, it's salty. It's actually used in main dishes or eaten with main dishes, and most importantly, we mix it with water and make a drink called "ayran", it goes really well with kebap and many Turkish dishes. Yogurt as a desert is pretty much a foreign concept in Turkey.
"This is like the driest beef I ever had in a ration." This is from a man who ate canned meat from the Boer War that looked like it was petrified. lol ;-)
It’s funny to see your reaction to the olives. Turks are so used to olives with the pit that they would mostly be shocked if they came pitted. Our muscle memory is conditioned to eat the olive with the pit in and then spit out the pit. Interesting review ! Lipton tea btw is pretty bad but it’s one of the few low end tea brands in Turkey that offers a teabag version.
a very nice comment look at the criticism of the country that sells olives to the world xddddddddd lipton about tea we do not like to drink or make you drink shake tea
Olives with pits do taste better. I think the reason is because of the process of removing the pit it leaves the inside of the olive unprotected in direct contact with the oil/water in the can which makes it lose flavour.
Word Qzxerty. And tbh, olives with the pit usually taste better. They loose some of their firmness when pitted, so it is convinient to have them pitted, but the quality of the product isnt the same
@@mikurino3936 Believe it or not, although this civillian MRE is as nice, damn those MRE of our Turkish Armed Forces were fabulous. Not able to find it anywhere after my mandatory military service.
The MRE of Turkish Armed Forces are just simply impossible to find. I’m living in Turkey, during my mandatory military service I’ve eaten it a few times, the tastes were amazing, but I was simply not able to find it afterwards. No one is selling them.
@@emrecanarduc4378 🤣 Turkey is not a peace country, what are you smoking? Lol 🤡 Don’t you know anything about your own country? It’s part of NATO and NATO itself is an extremely aggressive and offensive organization even though they claim themselves as not. Syria is not the only war they’re involved in for multiple wars involving Syria to ISIS but every war/multiple wars with Iraq, Libya, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Somalia, Cyprus, Greece just to name a few but more. Lol sorry but you are literally a laughingstock if you say Turkey hadn’t been involved in any wars. Every war in the world is instigated by NATO and Turkey is involved in every war fighting every time for the right or wrong reasons one way or another. I mean it’s freaking NATO and Turkey is a member. And who do you think it’s lead by? It’s the US, and it’s their hobby to instigate wars across the world always funding billions to a domestic terrorist in each nation to throw off a government no one wanted in the targeted country in the first place. It’s a terrible organization and Turkey is a NATO member. You should really look up foreign policies of the US. They literally spend billions to analyze and fund multiple domestic terrorist organizations in order to instigate wars and they have lists of it, causing miseries and bringing poverty across the globe. Ask your leader to get out of NATO and Turkey should lead an effort to dissolve the NATO so that world peace can be restored.
No joke, this is probably one of the best Mre's I've seen on the channel. I never felt the urge to want to eat them, but this one made my mouth water not going to lie.
Kavurma is a special kind of meal which they cook the beef in water after that they dry beef in the salt. It has unique taste and because its dryed it dont have lot of moisture.
Black olives with the pit in is something no Turkish person can have breakfast without. Pitted ones taste soggy and just ruin everything. I'm so happy to finally see a Turkish MRE, and I'm surprised that it's such an authentic menu, too!
I saw a travel show where they were in Turkey, and for breakfast they served what looked to be fillo drissled with honey, man it looked so good, so crispy & flakey.
every turkish people can made breakfast with 3 basic thing tomatoes cheese and olive with turkish tea if someone always eat cheese and tomatoes together you can easily recognize him he is probably turk
@@elrymoe I am not Turk, and secondly, i never said i am proud of it. It's just my personal opinion, since they make far better quality products compared to Chinese
From what I understand, there is at least one company out there which allows people to do that. But, in my opinion it kind of destroys the authenticity of the experience. You are no longer "eating what they ate."
I love it when they translate lavaş as tortillas because that is the closest counterpart that westerners know, even though they are kinda different. Lavaş is made out of simple combination of wheat, water, salt but tortillas are made out of wheat, sugar, baking soda and oil. Lavaş is pretty much a bread that is flat and without baking powder. When you include baking bowder in it, you get your regular white bread. That is the key difference.
@@oldbatwit5102 1. Nah. Both are sodium bicarbonates, one just has additional crap in it. Granted, they react differently and cannot be used as replacement for certain recipes, but that doesn't matter. That's like saying ayran is not yogurt because it has water and salt in it lol. 2. Then you are not exactly making "tortillas".
The Yayla Çorbası is by far one of my favorite Turkish soups. The powdered ones might come close to the actual taste but you really have to try the real deal. If you do ever make your way to Izmir, Turkey you should definitely try some.
@@batuhanuyar3471 don't do that. Never say that your english is poor. Because your english is not bad and if your english poor that will not be clear. You shouldnt care about it. This is a suggestion to you
Most olives, especially softer cultivars like kalamata, lose their texture and fresh taste when pitted. You're supposed to alternate between taking a bite out of your meal and the olives, spitting out the stone once you've done. That's how most Turks and Eastern Europeans do it.
Sir I have to say you are one phenomenal reviewer. Your videos are just on another level and it gives the same calm and relaxed happy feeing while watching Bob Ross videos at the same time its informative and it feels like I can taste the food you eat. Out of my 11 years on youtube never have i been so happy to come across a channel like yours. Thank you for being so awesome!!!
Funny living in Turkey the last 2 years, seeing this stuff in the pack. It’s super common Turkish food, I mean, you could get the real version of this at basically any restaurant here in Eskisehir. What’s the Mexican military put tacos in their MRE? Haha ok well still really cool thanks for sharing. Olives are not usually pitted which I too found weird. No breakfast here is complete without some string cheese an olives! Nice. By the way real Turkish food is incredible. Don’t base your impression on this pack. If you have the chance to pass through you’ll be in for a treat.
I have been to both Greece and Turkey. You will NEVER find any pitted olives unless they are from a lower quality company which pitts their olives for export. Olives with pits keep the flesh of the olive much more tasty and long lasting. You should ADD POINTS not minus.
Im more worried about Constipation instead mental sanity, although at this point his digestive system should be able to deal with anything without problems by now.
Love the sound, the channel, love everything, watching since 2020, big thanks! Just to say that water bag for heating water and the frh also has a bag as well is quite interesting 😂
Honestly Steve and his community are the some best things I've encountered in my entire life. Makes me so happy. Alright, cool. I'll see ya'll in the next video.
Well, the pit of the olives are normal. In general it is sold like this. Turkish people know that and aren't bother by it. That's why they leaved it like it is. A few olives and you get used to it.
I love that everytime he blends in a cup, he makes a melody out of it in post editing. Goes to show how much detail and passion he puts into these videos
Yes it was and I was thinking that of you wanted to you could have a second cup of coffee but add LESS water but make it BOILING to bring out the coffee from the granules. Maybe a little weak, but with less water it might work. Hell's Bells, I've had coffee we strained from a (clean) woolen Army Sock. Called "Sock Coffee," Natch, and when you are in the field, warm Rats (Rations) NOT being provided and the C-Rats in the cans were nearly frozen solid, Sock Coffee was like Nectar of The Gods while you waited for your C-Rats to warm up. I remember MANY a day (and night) standing around a Coleman Stove, Steel Pot balanced on a burner, full of water and a clean sock full of coffee grounds in the Steel Pot waiting for it to boil so you could dole some out into your stainless steel canteen cup EXACTLY like the one Steve uses, them wrapping your hands around the cup for warmth and sipping that dark, thick, Nectar down and enjoying it as it warmed your body and Soul in the Sub-Zero weather. Ah, the GOOD old Days!! LOL Overnout
My babysitters husband was in the military. He had boxes of mre. As a kid I enjoyed opening and eating them. It was always fun to see what was inside. Now days I get hungry seeing these vids. Might stop you up a little but oh well
@@Jax-Teller Her yerde kendinizi belli ediyorsunuz. Ne demiş ki adam bence yüceltmiş. Biz ateşle su kaynatıyoruz, Türkler kaynamış suyla su kaynatıyorlar demiş. Küfür edecek ne var bunda allahaşkına ya. Biraz medeni olun ya.
I generally go for lightly minted rubber gloves as a starter - medium rare rubber gloves with a hint of cinnamon as a main, with of course, juicy fruit rubber gloves for dessert. Nice.
I was screaming through my tv screen for u to pour the tomato soup onto the chicken in the 2nd meal, lol but I'm glad u did it with the soup in the 3rd meal
steve, tomato soup with that cheese was the right way to go, we turks actually do that and always drink tomato soup with fresh cheese, im glad you guessed that!
@@DrDordle When the fruit is pierced to remove the seed, the unprotected pulp of the fruit is in constant, direct contact with the brine liquid. This direct contact allows the natural juices, which are protected by the olive skin in regular, unpitted, olives, to leach out into the brine liquid, reducing the flavor proportionally. Does that answer your question? Now allow me ask you a question please , clearly you've eaten pitted and seeded olives, do they taste the same ? .. it's in the taste for crying out loud Dr . Dordle , what kind of a Dr are you anyway? The kind that believe wearing a mask is going to protect you from.a virus ?
Holy shit, finally a Turkish ration. First time I'm seeing you trying out Turkish food. And also you guessed it right, those crunchy cheese were probably for you to add in them in to the tomato soup so you can have that crunchy feel and cheesy tomato soup, also can be accompanied by black olives. Actually it is really common to drink soup for the breakfast in Turkey and cheesy tomato soup with black olives are the most common way to eat tomato soup. So putting soup to the breakfast section would be more appropriate but I guess they didn't want to weird out foreigners because a Turkish guy would definitely drink that soup at breakfast :D I also think that soup was too thick, maybe needed to water it down a bit. Yoghurt soup contains rice, so those things you show were probably rice. Weird think is you can eat yoghurt soup cold as well. But it was really funny to see you using soup as a sauce :D However I'm surprised how bland they made the food, specially "kavurma" the roasted beef is a real delicacy in Turkey. I hope we can see some military rations from Turkey in the future from you.
It was really cool trying not only my first Turkish ration, but first time trying Turkish food altogether! Excellent insight there man, and I really do hope to find some Turkish military rations in the near future as that would be an amazing review.
I'am not sure if this is a thing but i remember that in Poland if you got buckwheat one also got yoghurt or kefir to put it on top. It helped to lower the specific flavour of buckwheat ... anyways nice review!
@@Steve1989MRE The tortillas were also for the soup 😂 In Turkey we don't drink soup without some bread. Though you had 4, you could have had the last meal in a burrito (with the sauce and beef and buckwheat etc 😉)
This episode is a perfect example of the highest highs and the lowest lows when it comes to MREs. The packaging, the gussets, and the flameless heaters in particular are superb quality. However it seems they skimped on the actual ingredients. It makes me wonder if the food would be higher quality if the packaging was lower quality. hm.
Well, he IS from the East Coast and some places they STILL pronounce "Taco" (Tah-Ko) like "Tay-Ko" and probably wear socks with their Birkenstock Sandals. I cannot imagine Steve doing the Socks/Sandals thing, though, but he DOES know the correct pronunciation of Taco. We just gotta learn him with his Tortilla Folding Skills some more. LOL Regardless, they make it to their end destination and all do their part to make a Tu*d eventually. Gotta go for now so Take Care, God Bless and..... Overnout
Also, it's not a joint. Don't put your filling all the way to one side and roll across the entire tortilla. Put it in the middle, fold the side in and then wrap the bottom and the top.
Hey Steve, new subscriber here. Love the content! You know how you fold the bottom of the tortilla up at the end? Do that before you fold the burrito in the beginning and you will have mastered the art. You are there just switching up a step then getting down the tuck/fold to have a nice tight balanced burrito. - a master burrito maker 😂
I'm arab and most of the food that steve ate in this ration is something we eat here on the daily, it came a point where i could literally smell the tomato *soup* and could remember the taste of chicken rice with chickpeas.
