new Ukrainian ration

[Ruleryak]

I've got one of these new type bagged Ukrainian rations to eat soon as well. I've been using the Google Translate phone app to translate the text on this, a Ukrainian tray ration from last year, and a few types of Russian Federation rations. With a smartphone and the app, you can take pictures and it will highlight and translate text directly.

We're living in the future folks!

Am bumping this to add, I found this Ukrainian ration on Ebay (there are quite a few sellers for them, as well as Russian ones, etc) and bought it, and can't read it. That big green bag had 3 little green bags inside it, I'm guessing one is for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Don't know how to type their special characters online. Haven't opened any of those 3 smaller packets yet. Just a heads up, there's a lot of them on ebay.

Edit: what was inside that red can was barley mixed with some meat. The crackers it came with are quite hard (are they called buckwheat?) with a couple packets of honey to spread it on the crackers I suppose. A cleansing tissue, and a coffee mix, and one big packet of sugar or something.

And also above poster chitoryu12, I think barley is good food in itself. I heard it was what the ancient Spartans carry was bag of barley. Why you say it's not as good in nutrition?

In terms of calories the cans are fine, but the contents are bland at best and downright disgusting at worst. This kasha that I'm eating right now (they gave the exact same can for two of the meals) is extremely greasy and so bland that even liberal salting has done little to salvage it. They also have only a few accessories for each, typically just two packs of hard crackers (that often tasted stale immediately after unwrapping) and a beverage with sugar like tea, coffee, or a watery fruit powder. It has none of the accouterments of other foreign rations or MREs; my friend said that "they remind you that you're fighting in a war."

Ukrainian rations are basically Russian, which to me looks and tastes like dog food. (Kasha, etc)
If I saw refried beans for the first time, I'd probably puke too...
Every region has it's food preferences, the US just has a lot of variety, some good, some, well, weird.
But, if you want to try Russian/Ukrainian potted meats (Kasha), just buy a can of Skippy dog food.
Same taste and texture.
JMHO...
