RCIR Menu 2 - The Leftovers 

GrandadIsAnOldMan is somewhat similar

Pinning this thread while we compile a list...

Here are a few channels I think are interesting, and that have inspired me: Dubious Engineering: ru-vid.com/show-UCie3bR_WnRg4f5y107accnQ Life In Jars: ru-vid.com/show-UC0XNssyypOLiq4vVgXm9NtQ Nicola White mudlarking: ru-vid.com/show-UC2K7yEwPIcPaQT5FM78dpyw Learn Your Land: ru-vid.com/show-UCcbf8wnyVJl631LAmAbo7nw I Did A Thing: ru-vid.com/show-UCJLZe_NoiG0hT7QCX_9vmqw

@@eliannam.5700 How About Steve1989MREInfo.

Emmymadeinjapan does taste tests of all sorts of things

There's a guy who's entire channel is about that, steve1984mreinfo or smthn clunky like that

Thought

Lol it makes you sound Irish

Differences in view stats aren't about to stop me doing anything I've always done - it's not anything to worry about, but I appreciate your support!

Your lucky to be in a area where you can forage

I usually do that with my larger knives - I guess I just wasn't thinking when it comes to the little paring blades

Yeah, I'm not really sure about the tuna - it had quite a strange almost bouncy texture, for a paté - and I think a chopped salad of winter greens would probably have combined better with it. I can't quite decide what I think about the combination of blackberries and fish - it was not horrible, but it was too odd a mix for me to properly gather my impressions

Well, I'm no more familiar. That said, fish in combination with nuts isn't familiar, either, but it seemed like it would work naturally. Perhaps it's just that meat and nuts share a lot of their tastes? I imagine both were savory, had a very complimentary level of sweetness, and combined nicely as protein-rich products. I think I might have some chestnuts nearby. If I find them (and identify them as being just that) I'll have to try your shelling technique. I've many pecan trees, without doubt, though. Are the shells too hard for that, or do you necessarily need to boil or soak them first?

@@AtomicShrimp that's because it is not, in fact, pâté. Rillettes (most commonly made from pork) are cooked with a lot of fat and (even moreso than pâté, which you can also eat in salads for example) are supposed to be spread unto bread (or in case of the RCIR, crackers). You wouldn't really eat them any other way. You could put pickles/salad/etc on top of that, though. Meat rillettes (as opposed to fish rillettes, which are less fatty, but still more than pâté) are normally covered by a very distinctive thick top layer of white fat/grease (not sure which is the right word here). Anyway I would recommend you test that on weird stuff in a can but I've never seen pork rillettes in a can so that's too bad.

@nogosnoqt make sure you pick sweet chestnuts, not horse chestnuts - differences explained about 12 minutes into this vide: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-of1CGDQrcKQ.html Pecans would be too tough for this preparation, I think - I would just smash them and pick out the edible pieces

@Attilablabla - thanks - I think maybe Google Translate led me astray on 'rillettes' - it sounds a bit like some of the potted meat preparations I have seen in Polish shops - more like sausage in a jar than paté

Before watching of course :)

Jeff you haven't watched it yet! Lol

I have

They'd be on the menu if they tried

Oh :(

I don't actually know a lot about this knife - I bought it in a camping shop in Lyndhurst (this one: www.leisurefayre.com/ - but they don't list their pocket knives on their website). I'm actually terrible at sharpening my knives - I feel like that's a skill I should hone (pun intended) and maybe make a video about

I found the knife online - here it is: www.aceros-de-hispania.com/knives-penknives-collectibles.asp?product=navajas-penknives-19684

This hot chocolate mix contains powdered milk, so it can be made up with hot water. Most of the 'instant' types are like this

I've only really sampled a few - the Russian one was very 'foreign' - the French RCIR packs are just like high quality supermarket produce, for the most part. I need to get hold of some different rations for further tests...

@@AtomicShrimp Maybe try an Australian one for the witchety grubs

never a good sign if a simple bird noise startles you to death :P

Sure - insects are a great source of protein and 'good' fats - I tried catching and eating grasshoppers in the video linked below - but in all honesty, I think I burned more calories chasing them than I got from eating them (a butterfly net would solve that though): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T0Kl1d6pQys.html I think next summer, I'm going to try to spend a week eating only what I can forage, including insects.

I used to catch grasshoppers by squirting them with water from a used shampoo bottle and such. Mind you, I was a kid and they went to my buddy's quails rather than in my mouth. It did the trick though. stunned them long enough to scoop em up. Net would probably be better though, so more of an anecdote than a first-rate suggestion XD

I'll order one soon

Apple doesn’t grow true-to-type at all, but you can get lucky and get a good one.

if they are cooked (and assuming they're not actually a toxic species), they'd be OK. Pulling the bark off rotten logs and collecting woodlice, wood-boring beetle grubs and earwigs would be a safe bet

If i remember correct than, yes - the more you watch from the add the better and im pretty sure it also helps watching it multiple times. But i dont think it makes THAT much of a difference. I think its more helpful to like, comment and share the video wherever you can. Mr. Shrimp probably values you giving positive feedback most tbh.

True. Don't worry about ads - skip unless you're interested. Same with the content types - I truly appreciate the desire to help, but just watch what makes you happy, and skip what does not

Yours aren't horse chestnuts/buckeyes?

Now you have! (I mean, tuna and cucumber is technically fruity tuna)

Pretty much. I watch a lot of TV cookery

You seem to have some idea of what you are doing but I thought you might have learnt in the boy scouts. However some of your ideas were slightly sophisticated for that.

I was in the cub scouts and certainly have fond memories of cooking over a camp fire. Sadly, I can't just light a fire in the woods anywhere near where I live.

@@AtomicShrimp I guess thats good for protecting the woods but sad in that mushrooms cooked over a wood fire taste particularly good.

@@AtomicShrimp I was in the brownies & girl guides. My first cooking experience was holding a sausage over a fire on a bit of coat hanger attached to a stick but I didn't really learn to make a fire properly till I was broke & living in a house with a fireplace. We kept warm out of hedgerows & skips & kept the bills low.

I'm just using the camera on my Huawei P20 Pro for the main camera in most videos

It has a special brown color

It's chocolate flavour - it was pretty good

I've never eaten cat food

@@AtomicShrimp that tuna pate was essentially catfood my guy zyga.feen.us/o9ym31mbc6.png

Ah, right. Yeah, but cat food is pretty much made to the same recipes as people food these days (less salt, I guess)

Lol. I've learned to accept that kids making noise usually means they're having fun, and I don't begrudge them that. I only really get annoyed if they decide to have a competition to see who can scream the longest

yes, kids having fun outdoors is quite a nice sound to hear but only in the distance lol I remember being a kid and playing outdoors, so hearing those kids reminded me of my childhood ❤
