US Marine tries a Lithuanian MRE 

Oooooo, linkėjimai iš Lietuvos. People are getting 3 MRE packs for each day, so you basically ate a breakfast.

As far as remember Steve MRE was praising the lithuanian MRE for it being super natural and healthy which was nice course from chemical over processed foods. But I guess for each is their own.

Yeah, not a luxury meal, but made from quality products. Thing is... If you're eating it, it is out if necessity. Crackers, those i actually like. Flavor is from those caraway seeds baked in and it is a region thing. Personally I like the crunch. Don't use your front teeth on them though 😂 All in all Lithuanian mre is average to everyone's taste. Variety of menus is not great. Not vomit inducing either... Fuel tabs are for heating water in field conditions and the zip ties... Those can help in multiple situations. Never underestimate power of a zip tie 🙂

Hi, lithuanian here, just finished my military conscription service last month and oh boy the panzercracker sure does bring back memories. All in all pretty edible dog food 😊

Ahhhh, our lovely panzercrackers!

Greetings from Lithuania. Spoon is Eco friendly, that's why it's so odd looking. It is sturdier then regular plastic spoon though. And our language like 80% like Latvians.

Lithuanians are handsome! with love from Ukraine!

Chocolate used to be good in Lithuania all the time. That Ruta factory still makes probably one of the best sweets I've tried anywhere in the world. Latvian chocolate by the look was expired and tasted dry for sure. You read Lithuanian really well by the way.

These MRE videos are always awesome!

Oh we call the color of the spoon "baby shit". Anybody who's a parent will understand.

That daft punk helmet is sweet ✌

Served in Lithuanian Armed Forces a few years back and I remember everyone hating on our MREs. We called it dog food and would usually eat it with BBQ sauce while in the field. Sometimes while training on resupply one of our supply sergeants would bring a lot of monster energy drinks with his truck and we would exchange these MREs with him for those drinks.

They are not that bad you can eat it cold too it's kinda okay, some times I ate them cold so I could use heating pack to put in my sleeping bag so at night would be warmer to sleep

the matches are badass

You have to be Lithuanian to apriatiate pork and veggies, since we mostly eat pork. Edit: You use the Zip tie to zip up the bag you opened after you're eaten to use as a trash bag. Edit 2: Rūta is the 4th oldest chocolate factory in Europe. Edit 3:Not tried American, but the Spanish was awful.

Former LTU soldier here. So compared to US MRE we always loved yours better. But thats probably because our own MRE becomes too boring quite fast and "Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" right :D So basically our (Lithuanian) MRE is standard to what you all saw here. Same thing will be: Chocolate (always the same one), those depressing crackers and all non eatable stuff. Main dish - I believe we have like 10 or 12 of them. They come with pork, beef or chicken + vegetables, rice or some grits. And its all just a mix of two. And there is one vegetarian I believe. Nuts: almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts and if I remember correctly walnuts. And for jam: some different berries or fruit or just honey. Coffee: thats a weird one cause in some packs you will get tea, or some broth. All of them make you warm I guess, but I don't see how they are interchangeable:) And for that drink you liked - I probably drank like twice :D never was a big fan but I know there are orange flavor and some others as well :) Overall it was nice to see you give it a 7 cause I dont even know if I would :D But it was entertaining to watch, thx:)

Hell yeah! Was thinking you might get to try our MRE's after the latvia video! Hopefully it wasnt too bad XD

I am Lithuanian, you can get our rations online for 3-3.5$/ after the duty guys have/ store them in boxes.. probably get tired of same taste. i am really surprised you liked that drink and old school dragon matches 😎🤠 but i think the main meal is more healthly and less chemical flavour than USA mre hot meal, still not for weak stomach . Anyhow our MRE really needs some update badly on at least 70% of items included. That said nice you tried MRE of 2.7 million population country. That said- there is no ration you would not eat during the war or food shortatge time.. it would a be a gem anyhow during harsh times+ yes that cooker is pretty damn powerful. Best wishes from Lithuania! Stay hard 🇱🇹🔥 Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

cool to see other countries try Lithuanian MRE, im applying for army this or next year, so im hyped

8:13 the aftertaste you're referring too is probably caraway seeds.

TY Friend for Paying attention to us!!!

Greetings from Estonia to my Baltic friends

well almonds don't grow in Lithuania, so don't blame us!

I'm Lithuanian, was really interesting to see this review, tanks.

Those hardtacks are for calories there. They do not mould, they do not go stale. They are very calorie dense. You can break them up or soak them in a drink or bullion or something. It's not the most savoury food but for an MRE it's a valuable addition. Nutritional value in 100g of product: - energy value 386,2 kcal - fat 6,8 g (saturated fat: 1,1 g) - carbohydrates 72,1 g (sugars: 16,9 g) ( - protein 8,0 g - salt 1,075 g

Trading sour skittles for chocolate? Are you INSANE

in my opinion they need to mix both. US and Lithuanian into one. I would love to have the Lithuanian main course, because it feels more edible and natural, but I would like to have the snacks that US gets. it would make it awesome

Try Chinese MRE , it has rats , bats & roaches in it

It’s great You are here! There are a lot to find out in Lithuania! Hope You will enjoy this being....

that heater for food is great at winter you can put it under your west after using it and it keeps you warm. or you can melt the chocolate with it break the nuts to pieces and put it all in the plastic bag when it freezes it's really good 😄

Hello from Lithuania🇱🇹

All of the European MRE's seem to have same dense biscuits. In Finland we had these old breads back in WW2 they were called "armour" bread "panssarileipä", you put piece in your mouth at breakfast and you got the taste at evening. After dinner you could take a bite out of it. Basically it was thin bread made from whole rye, water and salt. If you had kalakukko in here, that outer doe is like 20x lighter then the old bread was.

We used these heaters in winter to make food and to get hot at the same time, and beleve me, that bread is amazing betwene meals in the field with jam and hot tea :D that what that oven is for, for heating water. Main food is also great in the field, if someone says its bad, they just show that they relaxed to much in army :D Ruta candy is from my home town, they haw amazing chocolate and other candy.

My older brother kept bringing It home and I really liked eating It. We Lithuanians are eating good here.

It's nice to heat nice rating about our snacks and main meal, and by the way, degtukai means matches

I see an irish patch on that wall👍😂

Rusks aftertaste comes from caraway seeds. I really like it, must be a local taste quirk

America is so beautiful love from Lithuania🇱🇹🇱🇹

Raid on Krasnohorivka: how the Third Assault Force drove the occupiers out of the city CHECK PLS

Can you make the videos closer up so we can see it more in detail please!

Its sustenance.

5:05 Not at all similar to Estonian, very similar to Latvian (same language group, Baltic languages) 👍

could you try the danish MRE?- good video

Ahh the famous SU-1 "Panzercracker" use it as a snack or an armor plate, your choice. Edit. Fuel tablets is for coffee and just heating up water, for tea or whatever, everyone has their stainless steel cup to use with those. Edit 2. The main meal comes in parts, so depending witch side you tore all the meat is either on top or at the bottom, i usually kind of just mince the packet around before heating it so the stuff in side mixes a bit, doesn't matter if you squeeze it out in to your metal cup, but i usually go straight out of the packet since its less cleaning up i usually try to pre-mix mine, also right away after the heater done its job and its piping hot i crush 2 of those crackers in to the main and let it sit for like 2 minutes, they soak up all the juices soften and become really nice. Edit 3. I have had American rations, and have to say, ours its more or less (yes everyone has preferences) are the same quality, you are neither too stoked or too sad whichever you get, American ones are a huge lottery, some are excellent (and i don't know if those are still the same ones i had in my day) like the chilly and macaroni, but don't even approach me with that fucking omelette shit, that stuff is nasty.

this is hilarious, had plenty of these,

A spoon is made of 💯 Bambooo no plastic no metal

You start shittin bricks after you eat them for a while.

DEGTUKAI - Matches

and our menus always have only porridges

I'm not sure, but I think the biscuits are designed to go with the main meal, like the carbs part. I left the army quite some time ago, but I remember the east Europeans even then had single meal packs instead of 24hr ration packs.

Tablets are for heating up water for tea/coffee pretty much

you got the bad jam sadly

You should put this heating bag into cardbox you threw away!

Degtukai means matches in Lithuanian :)

The contrast to Steve1989MREinfo, who is often praising decades old MREs as if they're the culinary high point of his week, and your take on a brand new one, is strong 😅

Healthy food keeps you stronger n last longer, 💪😉

And those cokies are invincible. If your expiry date is coming to an end you should know those cokies will be good after a few yaers if its even expired.

I'm from lithuania and i ate one of those and i think that the best part is there sometimes going to be near the chocolate a is a powder with flavours such as cherry orange. In my opinion its the best thig that's packed there. And you should a video about Lithuanias rifelmens union I think you would like it. Btw Im 15 male in that association.

Plastic cutlery is banned in most of Europe, but spoons are biodegradable and way better than basic plastic. In Europe, we call this innovation. Also, there is a huge difference between food quality and value in the USA, Britain, and the Baltic states. I remember when I moved to the UK, I bought a roasted chicken and ate all the chicken, and it was like... it's like eating at McDonald's, with zero value. In Lithuania, I got one chicken leg, and I felt like I had eaten. Americans are extremely spoiled...

Hey i am from Lithuania the spoon is made to keep a good taste , like the fact about mc donalds coca cola straws

Man, you look exactly like UFC fighter Alex Pereira.

Matches 10/10 Perkūnas matches was a better design anyway 🤣🤣🤣

you should put the chocolate between the cookies :D

I think some people in other parts of world dont know what is Eco Spoon 😱bc from my home land Latvia there is lot of Eco stuff

Degtukai means matches

O Dieve, kaip jus tai galite valgyti?! 😂 Yra 10 skirtingų tokių MRE variantų ir vienas už kitą bjauresnis, taigi 5-asis ne pats blogiausias. Kituose vietoje kavos jus rasite arbatos arba mėsos sultynį. Jeigu vis dėlto jus nusprendėte tai valgyti - nedėkite maišelio į vidų, o pripilę į jį vandens į viryklę, tiesiog apvyniokite ją aplink maišialį su kuošę ir įdėję į šitą baltą popierinę dėžutę, ir paguldykite kuo toliau nuo savęs, kad nesmirdėtu)) Taip pat patarčiau ne plešti maišelio su koše, kaip jau būsite pasiryžę valgyti, o paimti peilį ir tiesiog prapjauti maišelį išilgai. O šitie keisti šaukštai gminami tiesiog iš atliekų. Yra tekę maitintis vien tik tokiais MRE ištisąs 3 savaitęs. Gero apetito! 😊

❤️❤️❤️

My friend told me to mix the main meal with those cookies. He eats them with the main meal then with the jem, and he melts the chocolate by holding above boiling coffee and eating with it to.

3:28 "it doesn't smell like anything, at least" :D What do you expect bro :D that is a simple, plastic spoon :D

labas labas greetings from Lithuania 🏀🏀

In the forest at the leisure time the conscripts are making "tinginys" (lazy man). They melt chocolate and brakes the cookies in the some pot or cup . Then pour melted chocolate. When cooled is the dessert :)

The sausasis maisto davinys means dry food ration

dektukai it means matches

If u ever try lithuanian military food again. Please try Stewed pork with buckwheat porridge. Its the best one so far. 💪👌

Come as Tourist to Lithuania n try to find ppl that will make you home made meal that is pure ECO BIO peace ✌️ n stay Safe n TY for your service God Bless You! The most important part is your Ship take care!!!

Haha flame is not blue on those unfortunately 😅

And the one thing is If there starts war and you nead to eat, you dont nead fancy food

I used to eat theese everyday for about two weeks while in mission. Gets boooring way to fast. good that there are multiple variants, my favorite was no. 6. Chicken and rice if I remember correctly

if you send one to Lithuania we might try it and if it shit you will know by one of us And also in Lithuanian Young Riflemen's Union it's like army but for young people to know the basics of army and bit of Leader ship

Lithuanian here

How the hell did you bite the craker like that

Hi friend. Did you take part in NATO exercises in Europe? If you accepted, you could probably try the packages of all NATO member countries

I would not eat that rubbish for your body but the Irish ones are brilliant 😂

ending of yor video killed me, there waws a lot of good words

Degtukai means matches, i know cuz i am Lithuanian :P also are you sure the MRE you got isn't out of date or something?

after some time we started to call main dish cat food because of smell :D

degtukai are matches in our native lithuanian language hello from lithuania

cookies are awful, if you think it was too solid in summer imagine trying to eat those in winter at -20 Celsius, another experience, but there are a few tricks to make them less solid if you put them near heaters in a white bag. And if you get cold feet or wet boots you can take that heater from inside and put in your boot. 5-10 minutes your boot is as new.

There was honey

You need to try the Polish MRE and check out more Polish military videos!

Mate when U in the forest tired and hungry I think this meal will be to you 💯 of 💯 nice and warm to

PZ degtukai is vaikystes :D

It's actually way more healthy when U.S. N U.K. As you said it gives old skool vibes.

Sausasis Maisto Davinys just means Dry Food Ration.

THAT SPOON DOESNT HAVE PLASTIC ITS ECO

This is unusual to you... You are used to eating bananas 😂🏝 😂

degtukai means matches

Lithuanian here. I served in a military 2020-2021 (and currently), and I can confirm our MRE's are very outdated, depressing and very poor, most soldiers hate them. I remember mixing powder drinks into 1.5-2 liter bottles in barracks, throwing everything else except main meal in pockets and just eating when walking when I'm REALLY hungry. Main meal may look tasty at first, but the more you eat them - the worse they get, and in the end you can't even look at them. The only good thing you can make from the ration - mix hazelnuts, honey, chocolade and crackers in a zip lock bag, and you'll get a desert which we call a sloth (🦥). I ate different USA MRE's and they're like a dream compared to our MRE's. But yeah, it is what it is - it will help you get calories when you need it, but it won't be super tasty..

I see lithuania, I click like 🇪🇪❤️🇱🇹

Brick cookies that can break your teeth ( no joke)
