This review is a Italian daily or 24 hour ration issued to the Italian Military Forces to provide enough sustenance for one day. It is more in line with two 12 hour rations and the breakfast box does not contain many calories, but it does contain a lot of cool stuff a soldier can use for the rest of the day like the stove, tabs and tooth brushes. I would think one toothbrush would be adequate though instead of one for each meal. I will say the one I used at the very end of my vid left my mouth squeaky clean and feeling refreshed. I did speed the prep parts up and added tunes so the "speedy sounds" weren't so distracting, if I hadn't sped it up this would have been almost 40 minutes long. If you want to see more Subscribe.

Europeans have light breakfasts..

@gundog4314 5 лет назад

I am trying to recall what the average day on the German base I was based on. I don't think they got up till about 7ish and had a small breakfast of a slice of toast that may have one or a combination of the cheese, ham or pineapple (for some reason pineapple was used on everything) and a cup of coffee or juice. They ate light for the "wake me up" and fuel for "sports" or what we would call PT. Of course, as a US soldier, we did the opposite, PT first then ate later which made drunk PT days a challenge sometimes HAHA!

@denisehamilton289 5 лет назад

@gundog4314 5 лет назад

I asked that very question, 95% of the time they are eaten right out of the can just as they are, kind of the same complaint you mentioned during a review that the Australian Special Operations guys preferred the CR1M to thee PR1M cause you just just open it and eat and not have to heat it. As for me personally, I have done both. I heated one and ate one room temp in the review I did 2 years ago and it was good either way.

@vipergtsmre 5 лет назад

Still amazed that they pack booze in these. If it was moonshine,that portion might do some good but it's not unfortunately...Great vid GD.

@MrDJAK777 4 года назад

Its a 3cl/1 fl oz/shot of 40%/80 proof alcohol so the same as a shot of vodka, moonshine at its max is 85%/190 proof alcohol and that max is only achievable in volume with multiple distillations most moonshine averages 60-70% alcohol so the same amount would equal 1.5 to 2oz max of the cordial. If one shot of 40% has no effect or benefit for you due to size or tolerance natural or otherwise attained, increasing it to 1.5-2 fl oz of the cordial or making it 1 fl oz of moonshine would not make a whole lot of difference.

@MultiMagnum62 5 лет назад

Awesome ration and review. I am glad, someone finally got one, with A surviving Cordial. Play the lottery tonight, if you are that lucky sir. All components look excellent friend. As always, great combinations, of, taste and texture, that you came up with. Keep on Gundogging it up ! With the light Breakfast, it made sense , to save time, and, do Lunch and it together. Smart thinking. Dinner looked excellent as well. My preference, I would heat the beef, then let the fat, re congeal. The Turkey, not so much, but, it looked like the Beef, would have benefitted slightly. All of the food, and, all of the complete ration, looked excellent. No, I did not think you had forgot the Cordial, LOL. I know you too well. LOL. Great job as always friend. Again, with the surviving cordial, you lucked into, Play the Lottery! It is your time, and, the Force, is with you! ( Italian Forze ), that is. Peace, John. You and others here, can always give me A smile. Peace.

It was great to hear you again Gundog ! You did the right thing - joining the breakfast and lunch makes it a normal meal. Maybe the Italians eat the dinner very late and are not hungry in the morning... I thought this rice salad was a risotto :). Recently I bought some of these rations (but not the B menu :( ) and the content is pretty similar - the meat in jelly some soup etc. I have a question - this booze looks like it is sweet - am I right?

@gundog4314 5 лет назад

The cordiale didn't taste sweet, had that nice burn of like a sipping whiskey

Put the booze in the Coffee ☕️

@gundog4314 5 лет назад

That is exactly why I inquired from Italians. Most said you can put in in something but the most popular was to drink it straight when you felt the time was right.

@Alessio_DAndrea 5 лет назад

I think the better way is have a part of cordiale in the coffee and drink the remaining alone 😀. We call the coffee with liquors "caffè corretto". Great review. The Italian ration is not bad at all. Speaking of the chocolate I’d rather prefer the old type of pure chocolate bar: they were exquisite believe me.

These words have triggered more vendetti than a poorly behaved brother-in-law. Ciao Cane da Caccia
