 Hey guys welcome back to my YouTube channel this is Daniel Rosal here bringing you today's video from the United States of America the land of oversized portions and everything possible that can be ordered from Amazon Prime to your home the next day what a fantastic country and one of the exciting things that you can order from Amazon Prime which I have been wanting to try for years and which finally arrived yesterday is none other than this Kosher MRE for those who haven't heard about MREs and MRE is a meal that's ready to eat it's basically a shelf stable meal that can literally just sit in your pantry for generally years these things are really popular among preppers and for those who haven't picked up the vibe yet from this YouTube channel I definitely consider myself to be something of a prepper but this one is particularly exciting because it's actually a kosher MRE and as a kosher keeping traveler traveling in the US I won't eat meat unless it's kosher so this is actually a kosher certified MRE it's produced by a company called KJ poultry and the one I've gone for is the ready meals bone-in chicken I checked out the listed shelf life on this and this guy has an expiry date of almost 2027 I'm recording this video in June of 2023 so this thing will literally sit on your shelf for four years basically what this is you know it's a bone-in chicken it says here served with carrot zimmas I have no idea what that is potato kugel I do know and farful which I think is like some wheat thing and looking at the front because people keeping kosher are usually concerned with stuff like rabbinic certifications so it says it's got a glatt kosher sign on it it's got a bechule sign on it and it's got another couple of kosher certifications but those are more than enough for me to to know this is kosher so this guy is going to be three minutes in the microwave you can also cook it in boiling water on a hot plate or on a stovetop the list of ingredients ingredients does it sounds like something kind of a little bit out of a chemical factory there's chicken water carrots egg barley sugar food starch and a few other things this thing cost me about 13 dollars on amazon.com so these things aren't actually that cheap but you can also buy them in multi packs and it's a little bit cheaper I actually remember these way way back in the day when I was still living in Ireland there was this program from the Chabad Jewish organization that's probably still going on called the Roving Rabbis and it was these two rabbinical students who would travel around the country to meet Jews in far off places and I'm pretty sure I remember these guys rocking up with one of these kosher MREs so anyway that's enough of an intro I'm very excited to try it I'm gonna put this guy in the microwave and see how it turns out okay so after three short minutes in the microwave we've gone from having something that arrived in amazon prime packaging this morning to kosher meat in the middle of a place where it's the best of my knowledge there isn't any kosher meat so this is it I've just done my plating work and as you can see there is a bit of chicken here and there's some far full I'm going to just use some of my beloved Melinda's hot sauce which is also kosher certified in order to bring up the taste level a little bit I'll put some on the side and try it without at first and I'm very intrigued to see how it goes so let's try firstly the meat and it's you can see here on the inside it looks pretty tender and well cooked I'm not sure how they preserve these things in a shelf stable way but perhaps this is one of those things those questions in life that you don't need or really want the answer to so let's give the chicken a shot um honestly it's not bad I mean this isn't the greatest chicken I've ever had I want to say that firstly but it does it doesn't taste that strange it's kind of what I was expecting that I would have this kind of weird texture from whatever kind of conservation process it just tastes like normal chicken and let's try a bit of the far full now I'm mixed in with it mmm that's not bad either I mean look it's a little bit kind of mushy the texture isn't incredible but if you were to you know give me like a blindfold taste and say did this come from your typical shabbat meal on a black and I would say by the way if I got served this as a shabbat meal I would say it wasn't bad it was like an average chicken cuscus kind of situation I would probably I would never guess that this came out of a box um so for $14 in terms of the portion size you get I've just kind of played up about half but I think you'd really need the whole thing in order to feel satisfied I guess it is pretty expensive but such is the price of kosher meat in the US unfortunately my serving tip as always get some if you like hot things get some lindas hot sauce and you're just going to put some on the chicken and we're going to hopefully bring up the flavor profile a few notches much better um and that's it guys so I have if you're a kosher keeper and you're traveling the USA you can get these in multipacks of like six uh $14 is a bit cheaper if you get them in the multipacks they have a chow main one of which I was intrigued to try this was the bone in chicken the company's called KJ Poultry it's certified black kosher and I try to keep kosher on the road and have some meat while you're at it get one of these things thanks for watching guys hope this video was uh was uh interesting and I try to get more videos about Israel and Jerusalem as the general themes and the occasional review of kosher MREs like and subscribe
