And finally after all this time I got Hungarian ration. And this is the last ration from our neighbouring countries.
I had Slovenian rations, Italian rations and now it remains only to try this Hungarian ration
Because Serbia and Bosnia & Herzegovina don't have MRE's
The color of this plastic bag is interesting
It has some information printed on it in black colour.
It's hard to read, you need to find the right angle or you will not see anything.
One of the important things is printed on the bottom - the best before date.
It's all in Hungarian, but it's not hard to understand the BBD stamp. And best before is 17.08.2018.
Its best before, not a production date because the date printed on it is just two days ago.
On the back it's clear, without any prints. To open it you need to cut it open.
I suppose this isn't NATO STANAG ration since everything is in Hungarian. There is no English or French.
Big can: pork and cabbage
Salami pate, made from pork and chicken meat with addition of 5% of salami sausage. You have two of them.
Two pate's "In a Hungarian way" made from pork meat with added taste of smoke
It's all made in company made Szegedi
4 packs of crackers, it says it's unleavened bread substitute
Heating tabs
Matches in a very nice box
Very crackling and thin bag that contains flameless ration heater and a bag with water
FHR has English instructions
Instructions in Hungarian
Lancashire hotpot... a name that does not really tell me what's inside
Do not drink - water bag for starting FRH
Probably contains salt to kickstart faster this FRH pack
List of contents - in Hungarian language
Folding stove
Very nice material, looks very sturdy. You have this spot for placing that heater tablet
One of the best folding stoves I have seen in military rations
Zip lock bag with various things inside
Dextrose tablets
Hard boiled candy, two lemon, one apple and one peach flavor.
Raisins
One more candy, looks like blackberry flavor
2 spice bags
two bags of salt... but I'm not sure is it salt or not
Adittional bag that contains 6 packs of sugar
Chewing gum
Lemon flavored ice tea mix for from 1.2 liters up to 1.5 liters of water
3 paper tissues
instant vegetable soup
instant cocoa powder
now the breakfast...
Let's start this journey with hot pot
it should contain slow cooked lamb meat
-Very easy to use instructions-
you reseal this sticker to close the bag like this
instant tea powder as you can see with added sugar
chewing gum... looks like maybe 10 of them
dextrose can help you with instant energy boost
I had to use one of the US ration heaters to help out the British one since Hot Pack wasn't really heating much by itself
spice bag looks like it contains Vegeta, dry spices with salt
crackers are thin and tasteless
hot pot is really good, slightly sour
there isn't much salt in this, you can taste the meat you can find in very little pieces
it looks like slow cooked meal that also thickened it
let's add salt and spices
everything that was missing before you get after spicing it up, you get very interesting and tasty meal
I can understand why Hungarians choose this meal for their ration pack
really nice, particularly for their (Hungarian) taste
Tea was made in 1.2 liters of cold water and it's excellent
Very sweet and you can taste full flavor of lemon. Thumbs up for this also.
Let's continue to next meal
Instant soup calls for 2dcl of hot water
In cocoa mix you need to add 1.5dcl of water
I don't know can you see, but cocoa powder went bad, you can see something like spider web up there in the corner of the bag
now we have sugar we don't need
Pate in a Hungarian way
pork meat pate
in this pate you have 3 different kinds of meat
pork, chicken and dry meat (salami)... it's very oily
Pate in a Hungarian way smells like liver pate with some spices
Very very creamy pate and you can taste that smoke I was talking about in the opening
Pate in a Hungarian way really has that smokey taste
Salamis pate also smells like liver pate
I like Salamis pate more. It has much sharper and cleaner taste. Pate in a Hungarian way is like some kind of gue, sticking on your teeth and palate
They are not small as you can see and also you get two of the both.
Vegetable soup is very red, like one of the Hungarian trademark colours. Much spices and red like paprika red.
Sweet, slightly sour from the tomato. Maybe for us Balkan people food taste a strange soup, but for the Hungarians...
I expected something very hot and spicy, but this isn't the case. It's OK.
Let's try the little hard boiled candy....
Reminds me of candy we had 15-20 years ago (or more)
It's like when you live in Germany, but you are going back home to Croatia, Serbia or Bosnia for a visit
So you take biggest bag of candy because 50 or more kids are waiting for you to bring them something
XXXL bag of candy
And you just grab the handful of them and give it around... it's like that type of candy.
It's sort of say welfare type of candy. UNPROFOR candy...
This is it for the lunch...let's continue
One more of infamous UN welfare candy
I already tried the pate's so I will not be opening this two that remains
This should be something similar to our dish called Sarma. We shall see, I need to heat it up.
You get literally half of the can filled with meat, other half filled with the cabbage.
I've managed to mix it up and heat it a bit.
Really awesome meal, excellent taste it also has that smokey bacon flavor
One more detail I noticed, this crackers are almost the same taste as "Mlinci"
If you ever tried dry "Mlinci" before preparation - this is almost the same.
"Mlinci" are one of old traditional food in Croatian and Slovenian cuisine. It is a thin dried flatbread.
So Hun's basically made "Mlinci" and called it crackers.
Raisins... let's see how they call them in Hungarian
very strong and sweet smell
slightly fermented
lately almost everything smells slightly fermented to me...lol
this bag looks very cheap, but raisins inside are like they are recently made
First time in my life I see Vegeta as one of the ration content
Podravka could put some in our Croatian rations...
One of the biggest mysteries of this ration is - sugar
Instant tea is very sweet so you don't need additional sugar
You could use one with cocoa powder, but you have much more of this sugar packs left... for what I don't know
This would be all... please press like, leave a comment do you like this ration or not... B Y E
