New cans in Polish military rations (August 2017)
Hi, this is Delicious, today we will test
some new can from Polish military rations
and for the first time I will taste
the bread, which is a part of soldier's food
this is a shelf stable bread
which can be refreshed
we will start with bacon luncheon meat
then we have lisiecka luncheon meat (spam)
and the 'pork special' spam
this is leczo with sausage ('Hungarian ' style dish)
and something, what I am very curious about
pork in horseradish gravy
let's start with the bread
it is about the best before date
today we have 7th of August
and this is till 10th Aug
we have to refresh it
on of the methods is putting it
the whole loaf into hot water
together with this foil, the water
should be about 90 degrees Celsius (195 F)
I will start with this, then we will open the rest
the bread was for 30 min in hot water
time to unpack
this is a rye bread, big loaf - 700g (1,5 pound)
inside we have a second bag
has a very nice smell
we'll give it a couple of minutes to dry
all these 3 cans are made by Sokołów from Poland
this is 'pork special'
all are made of pork
77% of pork meat
(100g can)
nice texture, a bit of jelly
nice smell
Lisiecka spam
the name remains of the famous sausage Lisiecka
84% of meat
as you can see it is more smooth
more coarse
and the bacon spam/luncheon meat
smoked bacon (pork) 58%
28% pork meat
some other addtitions
this is 190g
a lot of liquid
which will turn into the jelly
in the fridge
we can see quite big chunks of bacon
let's taste !
pork special
let's try to focus
nice smell
really tasty
now Lisiecka spam
we can see bigger chunks of meat
another spices
but really, really good
bacon spam
looks a bit different
we can see big chunks of bacon
ground
it is more fatty
the taste is not very different, but you can taste some smoke
it is more chevy
it is less ground
now the same with the bread
I have to take a knife
look at the cross section
beautiful !
nice, even structure
really fresh
the smell is a bit sour - sourdough bread
I will try first on its own
it is moist
it is really tasty
now with the pork special
a bit of butter would be fantastic
both things are tasty
a bit dry together
but this makes a tasty set
the next will be one of the entrees
first I will taste something
what I am really curious about
this is something new
with another taste idea
pork in horseradish-roast gravy
until now we had groats with meat
bigos (sauerkraut stew)
beans with sausage
for the first time we have horserdish gravy
it is produced by Rolnik (Poland)
most of the entrees in Polish rations are produced
by this company
50% - pork shoulder meat
50% - horseradish gravy
300g in total
I will heat it in the hot water
it should be probably opened a bit
and to heat in the water
not reaching the edge
I put the whole , closed can
into the water
not boiling
about 90 degrees Celsius (195 F)
but this is enough
10-15 minutes
is enough
it is already heated
it was kept in hot water (80-90 deg C)
-simmering water
if you don't know how to keep such temperature
or when such temperature is reached
you can buy such a simple device
steak thermometer
for a couple of dollars
and you can controll the temperature
this is quite hot
best before date is Sep 2018
I read the label in the meantime
and it goes in a 'western' direction
a lot of additives
some 'improvements'
like palm oil
I don't like it
Let's see anyway
pork in horseradish gravy
the cans are made of aluminium
and are very lightweight
they get hot very quickly
I think - 10 minutes in hot water is really enough
very nice smell !
this are enormous chunks of meat
(pork shoulder)
this is not ground meat
just big chunks
time to taste !
wonderful smell !
some fatty , some lean chunks
trying to focus
well cooked
now the gravy
it is really tasty
I would add some pepper
which is usually in the ration
it is really good
I can taste the horseradish just a bit
I like this spice and I would add much more of it
much much more of horseradish :)
I will taste it with a cracker
This is known Polish special cracker
this one comes from a Lithuanian ration
I had it a couple days ago
this menu
I will add a bit of this cracker
to get more crunchy
If I add pepper of green tabasco
it will become perfect
The crackers give always some texture
something to crunch
I will eat it in a moment
I will spice it up a bit (I added the pepper and the horseradish)
then we will taste out leczo with sausage
This is a kind of vegetable stew with tomato sauce
and some meat (here- sausage)
produced by Rolnik
('the farmer')
inside we have:
sausage 50%
spices, red bell pepper
this is also a big can - 300g
this time we will not heat it up
in the hot water
we will heat it in the field :)
I have here the portable stove (Esbit) from Polish ration
fuel tablets from French ration
and to make it more international
Dutch matches
I will go with this outside
and warm it there
first I will open the can
a bit
this is not kasha/groats with meat
it shouldn't get burnt
it is rather runny
the fuel tablet
one should be enough
this is for 8-10 min
I wonder if I can lit it with one match :)
like a scout
slowly... something..
unfortunately I failed
it started to burn
now it looks like lit
let's leave it for about 10 min
I will try to stir it a bit
this flame comes here
from this side - so it works!
this is runny
as I said
there should be no problem with burnt content
it's been boiling for 12 min
I will try to show it
really boiling
so we can take it
we are inside now
by the way
I checked that this grip from SRG ration
doesn't fit the new cans
they are too high
I will put it into a bowl
the bottom is reeeally hot
a bit burnt
what a wonderful smell !!!
a bit burnt smell
many slices of sausage
smoked
green French beans
some red bell pepper
and tomato sauce
let's taste
very tasty !
the sausage has a strong smoked taste
all the sauce has this smokeness from this sausage
maybe some of the taste comes from this a bit burned can
really delicious !
the vegetables are of course very tender
I will eat it with pleasure
I will eat it with a slice
of this rye sourdough bread
this bread which I refreshed
still moist
soft, smells good
(was refreshed 2 days ago)
