On the battlefield or on a distant mission, service members have to adapt every aspect of their lives to the demands of service, including their way of eating. Forget cutlery and plates; Here, food comes in ready-to-eat bags, a practical solution to the need for nutrition in extreme conditions.
The well-known Spanish tiktoker Here Sandra has had the opportunity to test the contents of these bags, specifically those of the United States army. As the content creator has indicated, they are the rations that "they eat when they are in combat" and have a curious cooking process: "They put this bag that has a heater inside. You pour water into it and inside you put the ration bag and "it gets hot." Additionally, they cannot be cooked inside.
Upon opening the package of pasta, Sandra shared her first, not very positive impression about the aroma: "This smells like it has been unopened since 1999." However, she has discovered something nice about the included bread: "They smell like rosemary. They don't smell that bad, but they have a strange texture."
Although the idea of consuming these rations may seem original to some, Sandra has warned about their possible side effects, pointing out that the rations contain ingredients to reduce the need to defecate: "It has things so that the military gets constipated and does not go to the bathroom." .
His culinary experiment has had moments of doubt, especially before trying the main course: "I don't feel like anything." However, after trying it, he has concluded that it "doesn't taste like anything", but he has clarified that it "tastes like my stomach is going to hurt." The texture and the concept of eating something packaged for a long time caused her some rejection and she has had a hint of vomiting: "I swear it's not bad, but it has a strange texture and flavor."
To end her experience, Sandra found solace in dessert, a chocolate cookie that, she said, helped her "cleanse her palate" after the less than advisable main meal.
In this way, with humor and sincerity, he concluded his experience with military rations with a comment that perfectly summarizes his culinary adventure and, in a certain way, values the work of the military: "Don't send me to war."
