I worked in a fish plant packaging these meals in the summer of 2013, the salt was coarse chunks sprinkled on by who ever was bagging the fillets so it probably isn't actually 5%. Most of the fillets were okay quality, but sometimes the fish could get mushed after cooking by having too many other packs on top of it. The species of salmon was Chinook,which is a pretty good type of salmon. Most people rate the 5 species of pacific salmon as follows; Sockeye,Chinook, Coho, Pink, Chum.
***** if earth was has peaceful, has you believe, then there would be no army. But then... What you believe and what it is. ARE TWO ENTIRE DIFFERENT THING! now... move along and go preach your peace on a hating group channel. instead of 'food' stuff.
Thank you, good sir. I was beginning to go into withdrawal symptoms due to the dearth of new reviews. Now watch; there'll be six of them in a few days... Kudos to the Canadians for including three (count 'em! THREE!) kinds of spices/condiments.
I just subscribed! I love watching these reviews. My husband would always bring home MREs for the kids and I to go through and try. We loved it. I love seeing all these from around the world. Cheers!
I stopped in at a small second hand store that has a small military section in Red Deer, AB. Canada. Lot's of nice stuff. I found a completely sealed Canadian ration pack of the same era as you have in you're video. I paid $5.00. I want to open it, but at the same time, It is sealed and in it's original condition. This one of course is labeled in French and English. Breakfast/lunch-menu no. 6 breakfast sausages " 04 " . The fella at the store said he had another one that he and a friend tried out. According to him, it was all OK and tasted not bad.
Wow, Paul is going to be pumped up with a shout out from the one and only Gundog. And I can see a T-shirt with "IMP Guru" in the works. We live in the same area of BC. Great review. Nice to see our troops eating well. The bearpaws are a nice treat to remind them of home. Best of luck with the new job!
OK. You answered my question. Mylar pack for peaches and salmon. Where is the thin dimension aluminum sardine/herring tin that could then be used for additional metal materials, spearheads, fishing spear heads, pull ring (made into "3" fish hooks), pull tin lid made into a rolled edge and long razor-sharp cutting edge knife, cut out tiny needles/pins, ... tin for mirror .... I guess you could use mylar as a reflecting mirror hmmmpppfff! No barter items like chocolate or smokes. Only coffee/tea/sugar/milk substitute, peanut butter/jam, lemon drink(s), spices, sauces, cookie, and chewing gum. Good matches, but no burning fuel, unless you use paper towel -woof! Big flame "woof," no tinder, must gather than to make hot bread, hot salmon, hot peaches. Where was that self-rehydrating fiber dinner plate hidden in the meal packet? Hehehehe.
This food reminds me of all the carbs I have to eat in football season to keep up with the three a day practices good content gundog I always apreciate yout guys point of view because you put it into an easy to understand perspective
If you have the luxury of cooking with an actual heat source and not heater bags you can take that bread and slice it down the middle and throw it on a pot lid over the heat and "toast" the cut side. Doing this seems to make the bread soften and taste much better, especially with the PB&J. If you ever get your hands on another IMP give it a try.
I've had both breads and I tend to steer clear of them. The imp has almost raisin bread and I don't really like it. The mre bread is sometimes mouldy and very dry. I like to have tortillas with jam and peanut butter.
The reason they give you alot of sauce in the the main(salmon) is it allows you to pour some in the secondary bag. Either rice or potatoes. We used to to pour some of the gravy/ sauce into the secondary when I was in.
I've had an IMP before and that bread IS good! I do NOT like U.S. MRE snack breads. They have a funky after taste. The U.S. did produce this bread at one time and put them in a brown foil MRE pack like your accessory packets used to come in and it was a treat when I got it in the field. I got a few packs of it at ROTC summer camp many years ago. I would imagine that this bread probably doesn't last as long in storage as the newer stuff does, but you're right, the IMP bread's flavor leaves OUR MRE bread in the dust.
Glad you had better luck with this one lol! Johnathan and I enjoyed watching as usual. I am keeping my eyes open for another few for us to try. Kep 'em coming! Ted O.
thanks for an interesting, thorough assessment sir. do you know where that MRE can be purchased and how much it costs? also, I saw Emmy of emmymadeinjapan do a review of a Japanese MRE with pork which she said was really good and I'd like to buy those as well. Do you know where citizens can buy these items? thank you and regards.
There is a trick i used to do to make the bread go down. Take the strawberry jam spread on the top of the bread and sprinkle coffee whitener on the top. Its not bad(ish).
@@gundog4314 I noticed that in Candian and British/UK rations - they keep changing it up. I also like that! Though sometimes it makes it tough to predict what exactly will be in the ration I ordered until I open it. Surprise!
In the video you mentioned that now you're the boss, work related obviously. And as far as I know you're the Obi-wan of ration reviews, not The Boss, cause she's KiwiDude's daughter.
Its amazing how many people don't like the Salmon IMPs.. Its my favourite, simply because its the easiest to put down cold. Tastes just as good cold as it does heated. Can't say the same for the rest of the IMPs.
Somehow after watching a number of IMP reviews, I just get this feeling that the United States owes it's servicemen a proper meal. Man, the only thing that the standard MRE wins over the IMP right now is that it comes with a FRH.
4:31 Salmon Filet. Ingredients: Salmon and salt. It doesn't get much better than that, as far as getting what you expect. In a salmon MRE, if you can get MREs with salmon, it'd probably have over 10 ingredients, many of which sound like things from the periodic table. I doubt the IMP would last as long as an MRE, but I dare say it'd be tastier and healthier :P As for Bear Paws, apparently they're kind of a big thing in Alberta, but while growing up in Newfoundland, I never even heard of them. Different cultures. 6:11 HAH! Jeff Dunham, I remember when he was big, didn't expect to hear a sound clip of him, especially in a vid made so recently. Glad to hear the Canadian rations are so good! Shame about the coffee, but I love how everything seems more geared towards enjoyability rather than making it last 5+ years.
+Trevor Stewart if you check into mreinfo.com and look up "laughingman" he may be able to help you locate some of these rations since he is in Japan as well. Cheers
Mine may be earlier, or later than you'res. I do not have a maple leaf, nor does it say " IMP ", Also, the lettering is green, not black on mine. No date anywhere that I can find. Do you have a guess as to the era by my description? I find it strange that there isn't a best before date on outside of bag.
That's OK, I'm glad I stumbled on to you're videos, which I do enjoy. It has inspired me to gain more info on the subject. As long as you are willing to put you're stomach to the test, I'm able to see what is inside of many of these ration packs that I may never come across. Keep up the good work, and thanks for you're comments.
All MRE's and IMPs are precooked because usually in combat, soldiers can't always cook, so these meals are precooked so that you can either warm it up or eat it cold if your on the run and can't warm the entrees up
+Lyz Mack I know, big difference in "sampling" and "eating". I rarely eat everything and 75% of the time it goes in a container and snacked on over the week. Bad stuff goes right to the disposal. Cheers
Still and all though, I could not touch some of that stuff to my lips! I nearly starved to death in hospital, even their chicken soup was grey! I believe I cried a little when I saw of! Growing with a mom that could not cook, turned me into a food snob!
+gundog4314 Same growing up in our house! Then again.. I learned to cook real early! Of course I never minded being hungry on Salmon Loaf, or Wikkaki (whygaggi to us kids) meatball nights!
Good luck to your nephew gundog. I am sure he has made all the family proud of him for choosing to serve his country. I have been having problems with RU-vid lately and i have not been getting notifications that someone responded to my comments. I checked google and YT settings and all seemed ok. As a final resort i have created a new Google acct. Could you please respond to this comment so i can see if that worked. Thanks Oh and this is bill23799 haha I just added another 9 to new username. I am sure you would have figured that out
