To be more precise Ukraine, Belarus and russia each have Borshch as a national soup, however each country uses a slightly different recipe, which introduces a slightl difference in taste and also color.
Good review! But yeh borsch is really Ukrainian soup. A lot ethnographic scientist in 19 century and early write about that... Russian empire just occupated this like Crimea) Good luck, with love from Ukraine )
Ага, прям исконно украинский суп. Только почему-то готовится из свёклы, попавшей на Русь из Византии в X веке, картофеля, попавшего на Русь аж в петровскую эпоху из Голландии, белокочанной капусты, которая начала распространяться на Руси только в XIII-XIV веках в областях примерно около Москвы. Могу продолжать. Приписывать авторство борща современной Украине - это тоже самое, что говорить, что кофе придумали в Эфиопии, а матрёшку в Японии. Подобное хрючево делали на всей территории Руси, но в массовую культуру это блюдо вошло как русское. Матрёшка вошла в массовую культуру, как нечто русское. Точно также, как и кофе вошёл в нашу культуру через старбакс, американские фильмы и западную культуру. Так уж вышло, что русская культура имеет куда больше влияния на мировую, поэтому у многих людей в мире борщ ассоциируется с Россией.
Never tried the Ukrainian ration, but has a ton of good meals in it. I'd see myself trying it not because it's awesome but because their military is notorious for it's rations. To add to it even though I never been to Ukraine, there culture is always fantastic. I give my support to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. Especially during troubling times. My message to Ukraine is simple. Don't let Russia get to you guys, and as Mr Rogers always says be a good neighbor. Nothing more nothing less
This is the second Ukrainian MRE I’ve seen. The first had dried fruit, jam and chocolate but my overall impression is that the main dishes are hearty, packed with vegetables and meat and complex carbs. It might almost be too much food but for sure, no one in the Ukrainian army is weak from hunger or experiencing blood sugar spikes. It looks like home cooked food that your babushka might make. I have no idea how it tastes but from what I’ve seen of the Russian MRE’s, the Ukrainians are well taken care of.
If you want a soldier to have a high morale and fight well, then for this you need to feed him well and preferably with delicious home-made food. This was the idea - to create an IRP that is as similar as possible to the food that the soldier eats at home.
Awesome they seem like a great deal and on Amazon! I agree this looks like a hearty meal well worth it. They were cans now they upgraded to wet packs. Like you mentioned they need to retort pack those cause they just don't last in normal packing. I really enjoyed this one Awesome Review Nathan!
I get the impression that this ration is meant to be split into 2 days, which would make sense. If you're on the go, you might not have the time to heat all of it up, and your supply train might not keep up with you, so it makes sense to be able to stretch it out. Also, if you do get some downtime, being able to get a little catch up can be helpful.
Borsch is a Ukrainian national dish! This dish is prepared in many countries, but it does not make this dish of someone else's national origin. This is not a Russian dish. It is especially unpleasant to hear this, given that Russia has invaded Ukraine today, and a century ago it occupied it and tried to destroy culture and language.
Did it say what the total caloric content of this ration was? I’m thinking of the order of 22,000 KJ, or just over 5,000 KCal, which is a little over 2 days’ recommended daily intake for an adult in Australia.
I'm not very familiar with Eastern European dishes and specialties. Except for Kielbasa, Cabbage and Potatoes fixed Polish style, and some of the Slovenian cakes and breads, that's about the limit of my experience. Interesting meal, and like some other nations, Ukraine packs their rations with familiar and comforting foods for their troops. No US Military Mystery Entrees for those folks.
Sgwige, verb, the act of squeezing out a small amount of something into a larger amount of something, mainly used for MRE'S. lol just like the term, should be a real word in the dictionary
That would be Google Translate, it has a camera feature that live translates what you point the camera at. As you can see in the video it's not very reliable when translating on the fly, but in the same mode you can take a picture and that usually yields better results.
Why are you talking to the guy in the background? We can barely hear him mutter a reply. From our perspective he sounds like some unintelligible goober. Looks like a great ration, but your reviewing technique is very lacking.
It's obvious in these comments who's ever had to actually live off these for a bit. You ratf*&k and mix and match and usually get 1/2 of what is actually there. You get really clever with mixing these, but the good stuff gets sniped real quick, and the leftovers are for the slow boys or newbs.
@@ricklane8554 Россия наполняет свои пайки самыми дешевыми продуктами, от которых потом изжога желудка на пол дня обеспечена! В Украинском пайке все на органике, которая в США стоит больших денег, а в Украине это очень дешево, так как мы являемся аграрной страной. Учтите это.
