Join me for a detailed look at this British Army, "8 Hour" Combat field ration. These rations are issued to British troops for day patrols, or exercises, not requiring them to be out for a full 24 hours. Based on the 24 hour ORP, they provide a single meal designed to keep and active service man or woman fed and hydrated for 8 hours or more. Watch, as I describe in detail the contents tastes, smells and textures..... Beef Burrito anyone?

SO glad to see that, as much as the ration packs HAVE changed over the years, SOME things still remain from the classic set ups and that being the old AB's as we used to call them or (Arse Blockers) in that oatmeal biscuits! LOL 😂 You ARE right they did use to be a lot thicker but they STILL have the desired effect I'm guessing and that taste will NEVER change 🤔

Hi...Thanks for watching and commenting...lol...For me it was the good old "Biscuits Brown" that were the AB's, and they were supposed to do the opposite 😂. They still turn up in the odd menu (but thankfully not in every menu like they used to be)...ATB...Mick

We've got some single meal packs to put in the campervan for those days it's blowing a hooley or we've got biblical rain and can't be arsed to do proper cooking. They take up little space Found them really useful this weekend when the van was rocking in the wind. We save the energy drinks up and feed them to the grandkids about 10 minutes before their parents come to collect them

Hi....Thanks for watching and commenting. I often take ration packs away for camping, hiking and caravan holidays. I'm lucky in that I get time to go away on my own, with my wife or with grandchildren and all enjoy the fun of exploring the many varied meals. British rations are great but I like to take a mix, from different countries, for variety and mix and match experiments. Love the "feed the grandkids" energy drinks before sending them home...lol....I'll have to try that!...lol...ATB...Mick

Never heard of black turtle beans before. You learn something new every day. I will have to look for them in the supermarket.

Hi....Thanks for watching and commenting...To be fair, Black turtle beans are not that well used here in the UK either. They can be found (both dried and canned) in supermarkets but are not a favourite with most people? They are probably a cheaper and more cost effective bean for the manufacturer to mass produce the mains? They don't taste bad, but in these mains, they were a little over cooked....ATB....Mick

Helloo my friend. Meal sounds different. They call ours, taco style filling. I figure very close to the same Mick. We do have the burrito bowl as well. I believe you have tried both. Shame no tortillas, or bread. 2 hot drinks, 2 cold drinks , sounds nice. Very rare. Usual accessories look good. I love that jam. Oatmeal blocks are tasty. I hope nougat bar is better than French, LOL. You are impressed with the tea. It must be good friend. Good ration, great review sir. Peace from stateside, your friend, John.

Hi John...Thanks for watching and commenting....A decent meal but would benefit from a few extras. Unfortunately I think the nougat bar was made by the same company as the French ones?. We have far better ones, often sold near the coast, but this was not one of them. Tea was great for an instant, I don't think there is a better "instant" tea out there!...Take care my friend...ATB...Mick

Odd that the MRE didn't include shells or at least, stable shelf bread. Anyway, great vid.
@MichaelGreenReviews
@MichaelGreenReviews 5 месяцев назад
Hi...Thanks for watching and commenting..... The British Rations have never had any shelf stable bread, tortillas / wraps or plain crackers. Its a mystery to me why? because so many of their menus would benefit from it.....ATB....Mick

Hi....Thanks for watching and commenting....A good tasting meal, but just felt like something was missing, such as some tortillas and cheese!. It would be great if the US and UK could get together, and collaborate, on Ration and MRE production. I think a mix of both countries components would make some tasty (and very enjoyable) combo's for the troops on both sides of the pond!...ATB...Mick

Ah. That's because never heard of a" Nato Standard" brew up. Milk and two sugars. ( white 2)You also get a "Julie Andrews" (White none) or a Whoopi Goldberg ( Black none). Often abbreviated to a Julie or a Whoopi. It's all in the pronunciation.

Hi...Thanks for watching and commenting...I served back in the late 80's and 90's (and saw a little active service). I think most are like me? I had to pretty much force them down to make sure I was able to keep the energy levels going. Adrenalin seems to take away your appetite, but you brain and training tells you you have to eat. So forced down it go's and most often cold with a lot of haste....ATB...Mick

I still haven't managed to find those 8h UK packs anywhere, even though according to the date they've been around for a long time. I just don't understand those 3-in-1 tea or coffee packs where the government tells you how to drink your drink.

Hi...Thanks for watching and commenting. The single meals do seem rare compared to the 24h packs? and to be honest, are about the same price as a 24h pack? (to a civilian purchaser) making them not as cost effective. That said, it is great to see what they contain and how they pan out as a single meal. I suppose being in the army is about "roughing it a little" so the brass don't care if you take sugar (or whitener) and are more interested that you get the full calorie count needed to see you through the 8 hour period? ...ATB....Mick

Personally, I'm more used to sour and sour tastes than sweet ones, the same with coffee, that I prefer to drink it black rather than with creamer and sugar. That's how I learned to drink it in the army, when there was only black coffee available during the week's trips.

I always seem to get biscuits brown. But it menu would be good with some wraps
@MichaelGreenReviews
@MichaelGreenReviews 5 месяцев назад
Hi...Thanks for watching and commenting...Luckily, the biscuits browns are no longer found in every menu, but still appear...lol...When I served back in the 80's / 90's they were in every meal (and were told we had to eat them to keep us regular...if you know what I mean!).... So I still get that sinking feeling when I open a pack and find them inside...lol...ATB...Mick

That spoon is even too big for my gob. Oatmeal Blocks are the absolute best but they have changed over the years.
@MichaelGreenReviews
@MichaelGreenReviews 5 месяцев назад
Hi...Thanks for watching and commenting.... The spoon before the spork was more like the US spoon (but white). Now the Soup pouches have gone it would make sense to go back to the older spoons?...I miss the biscuits fruit from the 80's. they were Garibaldi biscuits with a glazed wheat biscuit and proper raisins!...even the later ones with cinnamom were good. shame they went, but we still have oatmeal blocks....lol...ATB..Mick

I've just purchased 3 of the 24hr packs, got good price cos officially their use by is a few months away, was going through it I noticed 1st the rubbish/repacking bag is now way smaller and a bit thinner, and in this the brew kit has gone back to individual components But...the coffee, creamer, and sugar are 'packaged in China' 🤬 what the blankety blank do they they they're doing, have they forgotten the scandal of the contaminated Chinese powdered baby milk ??

Is that they give you to eat. That's it I'm not joining. 😊 For instance, what if you don't want suger in your tea. You have no choice do you? The rest is unimpressive. Worst field ration I have seen.
@MichaelGreenReviews

Hi...Thanks for watching and commenting... This was a single meal pack, usually you are issued 24 hour packs containing 3 main meals and a large bag of accessories such as tea, coffee, whiteners and sugars all separate. 3 in 1 teas and coffees are an exception rather than the rule and appear mainly in single meal patrol packs such as this one....ATB...Mick
