German Military Ration: One Box. Three Meals. Things Got Weird.

If there’s any country that gives France a run for their money when it comes to military rations, it’s Germany! This Bundeswehr EPA was packed with great sides, even though the crackers were missing due to supply shortages.
The green beans with mini meat loaves were EXQUISITE! So creamy and delicious, and the mini meat loaves were tender and absolutely top tier. The lentil stew with cocktail sausages was a really nice contrast of flavors to the other dish. The sauce had this delicious sweet, sour and savory flavor. The lentils were perfect, and those cocktail sausages were WAY better than the “Little Smokies” we get here in the States.
The two little tins of beef and poultry loaf were unmistakably German and top tier!
And then...the finale. That lemon dessert! So flavorful! Sweet, tart, smooth and creamy, yet still light and airy. Paired with those vanilla cookies... the ultimate ration dessert.
And because apparently reviewing an outstanding German ration wasn’t enough, I decided to make a cocktail using one of the components.
The Bundesbomb.
I made this up specifically for the video. It had no business being this good. The Bundesbomb is officially JermsMRE canon. Recipe below the timestamps.
