For the people complaining, this is not a survival ration, it's one of the three daily rations the Spanish army has. Most if the things people miss here can be found on the rest of the boxes.

I'm Italian. Naturally sardines are amazing. Haha. Love the video! Thank you!

This ration is part of a 24 hour ration. The biscuits would be in one of the other components.

Im surprised. Apart from the French ones the Spanish mres are the most easy to trade on international missions. This menu is not that bad really. Look up steves review on it.

I just found your channel and I can't stop watching! Great content! Thank you for sharing.

No eating 24hrs before ration pack testing, it'll definitely add to the flavor.

Love the t-shirt! You're on your way to 20K! Cool video! Thanks for sharing!😊

Must be a joy being in the Spanish army tucking into that :)

Another great vid thanks andy

I've always wondered how on earth the Anglos generally don't use to eat much fish, being surrounded by sea with lots good of seafood

Always great watching your videos. Slainte ( health and happiness ).

i ate alot of army food kits over seas in southeast asia in the early-mid70's....these meals that you have look so much more appetizing....lol

Those old fuel tabs were super👍

I love these ration pack videos.😎😎

Love a good food film great as always keep up the good work dude

Great review man. Have an awesome Sunday, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪

Great video.and i love sardines. The rest dont know so much about that.

Hi Andy good video, please can you tell me where to order the rations from, would like to try some,.

Seems like an honest review thanks

I'm spanish and the meat (what i would call "albóndigas") looks delicious

Nice job on the review. Sorry it was not much fun for you...sardines! Hope you enjoy the next ration and the bad memories fade quickly. You were noble to work through it!

I am always hungry watching your videos but not so much tonight hahaha still a great video xx

Great review Andy. You should try the Spanish ration with squid.

I absolutely love sardines! I am surprised you find their taste so revolting.

On the next video maybe you could attempt to eat 10 tins of sardines washed down with some clam chowder Andy, while the drone flies over head 🤣 thumbs up who wants to see that 👍

Looked Good To Me! Going To Get Bacon and Eggs On Now!!

Can’t tell you how important these ration packs are when you been outside all day running around playing soldiers. They boost morale & honestly you will eat anything. I used to be absolutely ravenous on exercises.

I love sardines !!

From the comments, I think some viewers thought they were survival rations, but they are jsut plain old everyday meals. Now as for me, I happen to like sardines in tomato sauce, especially if the sauce is a bit spicy. And the pate would have tickled my taste buds also, but I do agree with you, that a few crackers or slices of bread would have made it better. I have several tins of sardines in my GO BAG, and tinned chicken in my wife's bag. Also keep a larder/pantry of emergency rations for several weeks in the basement.

Hi Andy your video of the Spanish ration pack was a great I don't like fish, I like your tin of meatballs and peas , how long did your water boil for your soup what did your drink taste like nice one Andy

Now we know why we never see you fishing....lol.!!

They should include a cheap tarp or some tape so that you can make one from the waterproof packaging if you really end up in a rut!

Oh please, Sardines are delicious....I would take a fork to that over pork any day

It's a shame that MREs are so expensive in the public sector (even the ones that claim to be cheap). It'd be understandable if they were a more bespoke item, but you know they're mass produced for the military in the same factories already, so I can't imagine they cost a massive amount to prepare. Creating your own is a challenge too, boil in the bag foods used to be more common in supermarkets in the past, but I haven't seen them in a couple of decades probably. One thing I picked up from my DoE instructor years ago is to take some dioralyte sachets for electrolytes rather than isotonic sports drinks etc. Also handy if you get the shits from eating something dodgy too :) EDIT: by the way, have you tried making your own ships biscuit before?

You should have cooked the sardines in the tin, the oil sort of fries them and improves the flavour, just a shame the kit didn't include a spatula to stir them up a bit.

All the crackers and there are plenty, are in the breakfast box. You're supposed to get all 3 boxes, not just one because what you got is only one portion of a 24-hour ration

"Spain is diferent" 😂😂 The green big bag, have a one ltr of capacity. Fair for two tablet "potabilizadoras" Sorry I don't speak english Saludos desde Zaragoza, España 👍

Damn that beards grown, what have you been feeding it?

You may not like sardines, but I've never seen them in an MMRE before but it is a brilliant idea - they are cheap and so good for you. If you were out on the field I suspect you may think differently?

Agree, needed something to eat pate with, even dry biscuits

I'm on a keto diet due to my prediabetes and most of that meal looks quite suitable - I'd be happy if I got that ration pack (I love sardines too so that helps lol!)

The thing is out in the field the fish makes up a large part of your protein in your ration so shouldn't be dodged.

Yes tbe days issue of sweet biscuits is in tbe breakfast ration, sardines? you could have ended up with the squid

There is probably a van or mobile trailer waiting for the soldiers at the designated lunch spot, full of bread & rolls, like the French army have. You could have mixed the paté with the meatballs to give them more flavour. Ha! Interesting to see different military MRE's though but it doesn't look like the Spanish squaddies get a particularly good deal.

Looked like a good one how did it taste ? Be good brother

All MRE’s are balanced nutritionally to provide soldiers with all they need to survive outdoors on exercise or combat.

Glad to see I'm not alone in my distaste for fish. Good video brother.

You really need to try the smoked sprats in a Polish ration - They are evil - I had the after-taste and indigestion for 24 hours.....

I am not a fan of sardines either. Nice review. I have missed the reviews

Very cool my friend. I have tried the Spanish Breakfasts, but, as of yet, no lunch or dinner. Hey friend, that isotonic powder, is, meant to be dissolved, in mouth, then, followed by glass of water. It can be done, mixed into drinks, however, not the recommended way, according to Spanish friends? The Breakfast portions, I have tried, are , very light indeed. However, they include, toothbrush, and, much more crackers , than needed for breakfast meal. I was told, the crackers, biscuits, are to be rationed between all 3 meals. 1 toothbrush, but, all 3 meals, have toothpaste to use with said tooth brush. Good looking items. I would have preferred, your meal, as opposed to squid , packed in its own ink, which is very common. If I had the squid meal, I would try it, for sake of reviews , and, reviewers. I usually, do, my utmost best, to keep down pre conceived notions , to my self. Squid, I have eaten, but packed in it's own ink? That ink, I have tried in pasta, and, to say the least, to my palette , is overpowering, and strong. Granted, land locked in the state of Kentucky, here in U.S.A., squid and ink are rare. Might be because of not being brought up with it, still?????????????? Stove and tabs, rocked ! Did the tabs, have the rotten fish smell, that my wife, nearly divorced me for, when I tried once in the house? Since then, I have moved outside on, stoves and, fuel tabs, LOL. The soup did thicken up nicely. The mains, I loved, even the sardines. Coffee or tea, would be nice. Breakfasts, have, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, or combination there of. That part, seems better than the lunch friend. Fruit salad, looks good also. Oh, all 3 meals have the isotonic powder, between, 2 and 4, depending upon meal. I simply put, the part about breakfast, having coffee, tea, chocolate drink, and crackers, so , people know you have some , left over from breakfast, to help explain, to some commenters. Hope allowed friend? LOL, Yeah, I know, allowed, LOL. Not much more info than, you already had, however, some of my comments, might help explain some issues friend. Peace, John, AKA, Magnum. P.S., I really love your reviews sir, no B.S. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a picky eater at all but I must say that meal looks like it's worth putting on the shelf until the apocalypse. Until then I will stick with more, ummmmm, palatable grub. Still, enjoyed the video Andy! Thanks!

Like sea food but ye the sardines aren't great rather have tinned mackerel. Still love to see a video with Bacon grill mmmmmm sure you will love

Good little stove for emergencies

Nice one mate, thanks for sharing. I was thinking of buying a Spanish one but I don't think I will now based on this lol.

❤❤❤

why do they don't have a spoon

Ive always wondered could there be some kind of performance enhancing substance in those army packs like those drinks or whatever. Maybe these packs are not really supposed to be used for general consumption.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Yes yes but..... did the tins open with a...... 'nice hiss'?

If I was given that pack I would fight for the other side😂

:)

sardine are like tuna really good actually very good.

defatigante - 'anti' fatigue - it does have caffeine ❤

Biscuits brown or fly biscuits to go with the patê mate. As you were.

it is a military mre. not a gourmet meal...

Love your channel!! Let’s Collaborate here in the states

Menu A is way better, squid in its ink, galician stew, chicken soup

Im not a fan of sardines either , but if i was hungry id have to hold my breath and shove them down my throat

Seems like a failure of a meal Andy . Love the video.

I would have heated up the fruit with the meatballs and peas, but I am a complete barbarian. Lol!

All pet food has to conform to the British Food Standards

the sardines are the healthyist option in that rat pack

You light the matches in a very odd way. Why make it so difficult for yourself?

👍👍👍👍🍸

Like fish but every body different andy

I'd eat the sardines the soup looked a bit pale.

For this day and age that ratpack was shocking. Goes to show how lucky we are. Best thing was the fruit and for me sardines. Imagine those turd balls for your main meal out in the field after a kick off with the enemy lol, not even a brew or crackers for your arsehole and lips pate. :-) Would not be a happy chappy. Good effort lad. Cheers Moose.

I like fish, but sardines are absolutely heinous.

I’m with you Andy on the fish! I don’t like any kind of seafood. I have tried several different kinds of seafood and don’t like it at all. More for everybody else. Very brave of you to try. Looks like brand name fruit cocktails at the grocery stores.. Now time to go and get a nice home cooked meal and enjoy.

Although the meal didn't look that great always fun to see more of you're stuff Andy keep it up can't wait to see more :)!

Sardines are OK with mustard and onions (fresh not canned) but ketchup no way.

Doesn't look too bad, but prefer your cooking though 😉

I reckon the man from del monte said no.

I usually get squid in these its kinda weird so see sardines

Kent I would trade you my spam for the sardines I would eat all that happily lol you know you could make your own rations packs

I always thought the paper was loo paper, shows what I know lol.

Don't worry, im as repulsed by sardines as you are, i absolutely cant eat fish at all. something about my childhood. i love fishing but i just can't eat the fishies. Try to get ahold of a Canadian cold MRE.

Your brave Andy..eating that packet stuff that your not even sure what it is tbh. I’m quite picky what I eat. So I wouldn’t be able to try this unappetising array of ration food. But enjoyed the video .p.s looks like something my dog chucked up out of that tin lol.

A good review as usual but the ration is not a patch on current UK MOD 24 hr rations. Rations are a big part of moral not to mention the nutrient content. I would not be a happy camper if that level of ration was all I had for the next 6 weeks.

Your not a fish lover is it the texture or taste man?

Was gonna pick one of these ration up to try... glad I didn't now, looks naff haha. Great content as always mate.

No tea bags? Well that's just not cricket.🤣

What kind of Ration dosent have crackers or brown biscuits? (apart from water survival ration's)

You don't like any type of fish? Not even fish'n'chips?

In Steve style: Let's get this out on to a tree.... Nice! Mkay

It's a bizarre bunch of food, if I was a soldier and got that I'd wonder if they had a sick sense of humour. I'll stick with steak and beer 😂 always interesting to see what's in rat packs. All the best. Skye

Not even coaster's! ........Manuel!!!!!

Amigo.Kent.buena demostración de la ración del ejercito Español.(faltaron las galletas).estoy acostumbrado a esas raciones militares.en la montaña.(los Andes).

Thanks to you and the Spanish military, American MREs no longer seem so bad. 😆

The vitamin drink makes you do the salsa when enemy's are in sight it wards them off and gives you a protection sheild of raging bulls haha 😂
