A few notes on this video:
1) This video has chapters if you want to skip around.
2) At 6:00 I know that I mixed up the salt and pepper packets.
3) There's a blooper at the very end of the video

Opposed to some other YouTubers, you did the right thing - musli is indeed prepared with cold milk. In your case with cold water since it contains milk powder. If it was prepared with hot water, it wouldn’t be musli anymore but porridge… nice review, keep it up!

Hello, I am French and I did my army in 94/95 (AMX30B2 shooter in Verdun and a lot of terrain). You should know that a French combat ration is around 3600 kg/cal for 24 hours. Whether on the basic stove (use 2 tablets instead) or the gas stove which will inevitably be faster, you must open the entire lid (do not get it dirty) pierce with a knife or fork in the box add a very small d water so that it goes to the bottom and doesn't stick, add salt/pepper, put the lid on top and heat and you will have the best result. And then you eat directly from the box, for the video it's nicer to see I understand.
Glad to have seen you happy to taste this ration because without being chauvinistic we cannot say that they are not in a top 5 or even 3.
Friendship from here!
PS: I also have an Italian father so try the coffee with half minus two, it will be short but good ;)

Your girlfriend (who has a nice smile) and your cats make your video very pleasant to watch. Im not surprised the French food is better than most.

The amazing part is not the ration itself - it's the cans. Those are commercial cans you can buy in French supermarkets. What is truly amazing is that they managed to put real good food in a can, not some cheap processed unable trash that even dogs and cats won't eat.

The Mont Blanc rice and milk is a very common dessert here in France, high on sugar, but a childhood memory and a great moral boost.
Looking at the chocolate color and the crack sound when you eat it, i’m sure it suffers from heat. A good chocolate bar has a uniform, dark brown color, and is not as hard as a biscuit.

Another great video to leisurely watch on a Sunday morning while pottering around in the kitchen sipping coffee. Thanks for making this and the rest of your content. Big loves from the UK

The French meal looked superb !

[earlshaner]

Good morning brother and thank you for sharing your different adventures and information

The French army were the first army to use canned food way back in the Napolionic era and the first army ration.

[cautahwork]

Again: I like your style and the content. Very tasteful. Expecting the next one.

It appears the French troops eat well. Was waiting to see you pull a mini bottle of wine out of the package. 🤙

[backrowbrighton]

Only a French combat ration could equate to fine dining. As Napoleon said, 'An army marches on its stomach'.

Fantastic review. Those French RICR never cease to amaze in how delicious they are and look! Great review! Will have to get one myself!

[General_Shenanigans]

29:55 tripped me out i thought it was my cat for a second, sounded so similar.

[SmittyMRE]

Hey, a friend shared the link to your video. Great stuff, my man. Enjoyed the review and now I'm tempted to crack into one of my RCIRs. Thanks!

[dukeeod]

Great review really makes me want to buy one of these. thanks

[Olyphoto]

That one, I may need to order, thanks for sharing 😊

[CragScrambler]

Riz au lait or the tapioca as you say is rice pudding, a British and French classic, usually have a few sultanas or cinnamon in there and usually eaten hot, I like to heat it up add the chocolate bar to it 😉

Oh and the chocolate is always bloomed wether it's an old ration or brand new, it's ALWAYS bloomed a little but is fine.

The French know how to feed its troops. US MREs by comparison are sad. Most meals look like they are created for a 1st grader's lunch. This is a ration for 24hrs that has a lot of variety for a soldier to look forward to meal time wise and savor rather than wolf down a crappy pizza or spaghetti and meatballs that looks like it was cooked in the same place that Chef Boyardee is created.
