1867 German Army 'Iron Ration' Erbswurst - DIY Recipe and Story

The famous Erbswurst served Soldiers in the German Army as "Iron Ration" from 1867 through the German-French War, World War I, World War II until today. After 151 years, its production got cancelled recently in 2018. In this video I show you how to make it at home with very little effort (+ a vegan version). It is great for Hikers, Mountaineers, Survivalists and Preppers. The Erbswurst is dead - long live the Erbswurst.

Ingenious solution mate. Wouldn't it just be easier if a bunch of us just petitioned Knorr to start producing it again??? If they still don't do it, why don't you start up production and sell it as an artisanal hand-made product on bushcrafter, prepper and army surplus sites the world over?
Btw the music was good but sounded a bit..erm British? Btw I am British. But maybe Westerwald and Preussen's Glorie would be more appropriate?

Too many years of worry free plenty. I get why they shut down production but if they could have held out for just 2 more years, I believe people the world over again understand the value of this product. Thank you for the recipe. I will be making some myself as I am greatly fond of pea soup as is and this does make it incredibly convenient even at home.

That was the sneakiest bowl of soup ever... and the most psychotic devouring of an apple ever seen on YouTube.
Love it!

Just as I found out about this wondrous ration and see it's been recently discontinued I luckily found this! Thanks for recipe!

I used it in 2017 for 2.5 weeks together with rice and dried venison as exclusive food on a hike in Lapland.

Man I am so glad I found this video. I've been looking far and wide on how to make this stuff. I'll be making it pronto. You have done everyone on here a service

[mokinsen]

Why did they stop producing these? :( I remember when my Grandmother used to make a soup with Erbswursr, Noodles, Sausage and peas. Not only my Grandmother is now dead, but also Erbswurst. Ruhe in Frieden Erbswurst...

Der YouTube Algorithmus hat endlich einmal funktioniert, dieses Video wurde mir nach dem schauen des InRangeTV Videos zur Erbswurst empfohlen.

Wahnsinn
Mit der Musik einfach genial😋

[MaxSluiman]

One really cannot make this whithout the apropriate music. Nice vid. Cool that you make things yourself! That's self reliance!

Making this now with multiple substitutions. Half went straight into the pot for dinner (the remainder of whatever is in the pot being used throughout the week) and then 11 tea cup lights worth of Erbswurst being dried. (I substituted vegetable bullion cubes for vegetable stock powder, and frozen mixed vegetables for dried ones, increased the amount about 4 fold due to drying amounts). It is a hell of a lot harder to blend with water being there, other than that, all seems to be going well.

[HALO-]

I came here because Karl at InRangeTV did a video about it. I've finally started to gather the ingredients to make this. Having read one comment warning about using aluminum with salt/sugar, I'll have to find another option.

Richtig gut gemacht mit der Geschichte 😂😍 Überraschendes Ende. Ich denke ich werde auch mal probieren sie selbst zu machen!

[detroitredneckdetroitredne]

[barnburner]

While searching for Erbswusrt, I ran across your channel. Thanks for the story, music, and recipe. BTW I'm all in for a petition to Knorr to make Erbswurst again! Cheers and Happy Trails.
