I worked as an airman in Titan II missile silos from 1978 to 1982. They had stacks of WWII rations on the downstairs level near our equipment. We used to break into it and eat occasionally. It was dated 1945.
What was the best?
I smoked some non filtered Camel cigarettes that was discovered at Nevada State Prison, they were DEFINITELY from the 40's/50's, & they tasted like crunching up a dried mushroom & smoking it, ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, wish I would've kept a pack.....😕
@@ReVolt_e-Vlogs they did not have cigs. I mostly remember the ham. Also canned peaches.
were you on a life time contract? i mean lifetime vow for never divulging info as to the silos whereabouts?
If the can ain’t bulging…
But how were the John Wayne bars? Chalky or as delicious as I remember?
@CorePathway don't recall. Been so long. Only recall the salty ham and peaches
The 'nutty' smell is probably walnut, which was used to extend ground coffee beans in '42. The Germans were doing a pretty credible job of interdicting a significant portion of the freighters traveling up the West Atlantic coast and many of the ships they sank were carrying coffee. With much of the male population getting drafted and industry ramping up, US coffee consumption went through the roof and the US had almost no native sources of coffee beans. As a wartime economy measure, in '42 and '43, it was necessary to use walnut and hazelnut husks to stretch the coffee bean supply.
I have no proof that B rations were issued with 'nut-coffee' but my grandmother often told stories about how the coffee 'wasn't right' until about '44 or so. As a historian, I noted that story and compare it to the U-boat offensive along the US and S. America Atlantic coasts. By 1944, with advances in ASDIC/SONAR and increased shipbuilding, the U-boat threat had been greatly reduced.
WoW good to know man
Is that where Chock Full O’ Nuts coffee gets its name?
@@Wubzy66 I have no idea, but it seems plausible.
An old professor told me they used to go down to the beaches of south carolina at night to watch the merchant ships burn.
Wow! So interesting! I’m a coffee and 1940s decade obsessed individual. Thank you so much for sharing . People like you who share this kind of knowledge really deserve a gift card or something.
"That biscuit has a sketchy look." Yeah, a key has been sitting on top of it for 75 years.
LORD HOGAN LMFAO! I said the same thing! A piece of metal oxidizing on a biscuit for 75 years that he ate a piece of.

Theres something wholesome and relaxing watching a man whos really knowledgable in his hobby talk about it with such enthusiasm. My grandpa was a staff searge in ww2 and i wonder what his favorite MRE was.
He also brough back a luger, but someone stole it from my grams glovenox in the 2000's. I think about it every day now that im older and love german weapons. I wish everyone was honest
man i love when youtube suggests random videos like this which i would never search for. Crazy to think that someone 75 years ago manufactured that in some factory in the middle of the war, they could never imagine that a dude would be doing a video taste test on the "internet" 75years later for hundreds of thousands of people to watch. amazing!
Wow, didn't think about that!
Whoa!

76 year old biscuits😂
I've heard of Steve over the years, and this is the first video of his that I'm watching. To be honest I didn't expect him to be so genuinely happy and enthusiastic through the whole process but that was a very enjoyable watch. Definitely subscribing now.
I was active duty in the army '75 through '78. We still ate C and K rations. I thought they were good. Sometimes we'd get a mini-pack of five cigarettes. That was a good trade item. Fruit cocktail was one of the best trade items. The very best was Robitussin with codeine. There was no way to get booze in the field so that had to.
There were some really horrid C Rations back then. No one wanted Ham and Lima beans which had another nickname and then there was the canned scrambled eggs. Beans and franks were okay as was the John Wayne bars and peanut butter.

When you're a soldier out in the field you'll eat anything. Soldiers are good at learning to cook and prepare these rations into a meal by combining ingredients.
Old but a small point. I think during the battle of the Philippines, US Marines who were starving ended up eating mule hides and eventually their own boots.
A hungry man will eat everything slightly edible.

Is that...mold in there? Ah well...I'm still gunna eat it. Lfmao this guy is legit
Is Steve still alive?
Yes and at this point, legend has it, he has a shelf life of 78 years and when he dies his corpse is expected to remain fresh longer than Lenin's.
Calling someone a legend for eating a biscuit with a bit of mold on it lol, 2017 where everyone are expected to be complete pussies

I appreciate thye gentle and polite commentary. No swearing or unwholesomeness. Well done Sir.
Steve: Is that mold!? ah well, still probably going to grab another bite of it.
Steve, you are my hero.
He eats so much, he grew an immunity to rotten food.
GenuinelyJake the green stuff was to counter the prostitutes)
I doubt its mold, in 75 years all of it would be covered if that was the case, its probably something (butter maybe) that liquified and then hardened again.
Most mold is harmless, a few types of mold are dangerous, the one on the biscuits is probably the most common on orange and bread (a biscuit is basically bread), penicillin a common medicine.
I will be more concerned about the smell of almond or nuts of the coffee (this smell is the same as cyanide)
Could be some residue from the slightly corroded key, as it was lying on the bisquit.
When the food is older than you.
Older than ur father
perpendurcular 720 older than your great grandpa
הגר צבר older than ur Massacred grandpa !
Older than the trees~ Younger than the mountains~
Shit more like when the foods older than your grandparents
It is amazing how much enjoyment you get out of something that is 75 years old. Btw, Max Miller (Tasting History) says hello.
"I ate a mouldy chocolate chip cookie and didn't notice until a couple months later..." Still walking, still taste testing. Epic.
I can't help it, I got to try it. * eats the aluminum canteen * Hmm wow it has a slightly metallic flavor to it, this is amazing, a 75 year old canteen still perfectly edible!
hahaha
not as old but when I was 21 i was issued a 24hr MRE (aussie) it was made the same year I was born
holy fuck i just died reading this

i love how much you enjoy consuming them and sharing the experience with others. makes me wanna have a c rations dinner on a table with like 5 people, each with their own c ration meal lol.
I was in the Army 66-69 and had the regular WWII field "C" rations every time we were in the field. They came in what I would describe as a packed small OD shoe box. Each box had a number of tins. I am trying to remember. There was always a main tin of something like ham & beans, beef, stew, or ham & lima beans. Each box had a tin of something like Boston bread or crackers & jam. Instant coffee, cream, tea, sugar, candy and whatever. Small Tabasco sauce bottles were always around. Every box had the P38 can opener and a small pack (6) cigarettes with matches. There was generally a generic metal trash can around that had water on the bottom and we put on a camp fire for a "hot" meal. The rations came in a large box with the individual ration boxes we frequently busted all of it open on to a poncho and threw the stew, beans, lima beans into the trash can of hot water and you just picked out what you wanted or what was left. Maybe we were hungry, but even though they were then over 20 years old; they were good... That was a long time ago...
Did any field rations ever include brachs root beer barrels?

Shane Rivers he has the resist disease enchantment 😩
1nvd I was wondering why he looked like a dark elf
he got this can at the White Phial
Lol
The discoloration on the top biscuit isn't from mold or from the metal of the can. It's from the metal of the inside key sitting right on top of it. I'm surprised everyone missed that.
JonnyUFO good thinking.
It is also from the can cause the bottom biscuit had the most where it would be exposed the most to the metal
Would the key be made of tin as well? Because depending on if it's made from other metals he could get heavy metal poisoning right?
Mmm. Rust. Such a wonderful. Rust flavor. Kind of nutty and rusty at the same time. Almost with a lock jaw kind of taste.
Thats exactly what I came to thinking I THOUGHT IT FIRST 😄😅
I just came across your channel last night. Man I love it! I was in the military and know the struggle of the mre but your channel sheds so much light on generations that paved the way. I love your channel and you for a sub from me. Keep up the great work man

The airtight can will keep it good for a while
so does that mean in retrospect that current canned food has the same shelf life? how long can you stretch that by best date?
We did a whole show around this topic in Germany, to prevent people from throwing away stuff at the "best before" date.. They have eaten a lot of canned stuff, and all cans that werent bloated, were okay. Sometimes tasty, but most of the time bland, as they seem to loose the flavour over time but not the edibility.
Taken out of context it's so funny how easily pleased he is, "this biscuit, it's perfect! I can't believe it, it's not stale, it's not rancid"

I bet those soldiers back in the 40's had no idea that people 75 years into the future would so cherish things that were just ordinary for them.
@Thystaff Thywill damn right
GMO is no different from conventional selective breeding except it's MORE PRECISE.
They grew up in the 30s when a full meal was far from ordinary, so even they probably held such things in high regard, not just because it was something wholesome they couldn't get back home, but also the taxpayer's way of showing support. At least that's how I see it.
Ob Fuscated this is true, but the highly processed ingredients that go into the finished ‘food product’ make for shite eating.

I still remember the first time I ever watched this video. It was the first time I watched your channel and I was excited because I loved old artifacts. But when you were like “I can’t help myself” and ate the damn biscuit I was like holy shit, he’s not just opening it he’s gonna eat it
This was the very first Steve1989 video that I ever watched. I still can't believe how amazed I was. I have always had a passion for food and history, but never had I imagined I'd end up here. And to have some guy on the internet eat decades old food!? And it's actually edible (lol I had yet to watch the hardtack video)! Mind-blowing!
3 whole years later, and I'm still hooked! I look forward to Steve's uploads, and much like the rest of his followers, I feel concerned when I don't see him for a while. I feel like I've become part of a little community, with our own inside jokes and references. While people in my life don't understand when why it's funny when I say "nice hiss" or "let's get this out onto a tray. Nice! M'kay" or when I marvel at a good gusset, I know there are a select group of fans who'd share a chuckle with me.
Thank you Steve, for sharing your passion with us; for educating us, and for taking on the risks. But most of all, thank you for bringing us all together. Wishing you the best of everything.
