- 2019 MCW Mexican Chicken & Rice Cold Weather MRE Review Meal Ready to Eat Tasting Test
The MCW has been in service for over 15 years now, and for good reason. An optimized cold weather ration that really covers the bases in palatability, shelf stability, and ease of mass production. This ration is the result of decades of development, leading to something tried and true - and one worth coming back to for a review for all 12 of it's menus.
For correspondence, or to send a Military Ration for review, my mailing information is:

No Steve for four months. He is sorely missed, I have had to resort to digging in the back of my cupboards and finding my own expired food to eat. Last night it was 8 month past expired pound cake. I said "Nice, lets get this out on a tray" and spent the next ten minutes munching on my dry and crunchy pound cake. Tonight it will be 2 year old spicy ramen noodles.
"Crunchy, almost nutty side taste, but not much flavour"
@Fushie smith this comment me me legitimately lmao thank you sir
@@chuckbuck5002 Same dude
Spicy ramen noodles? Noodles always usually store pretty well
- Nice
I'm thankful for every time Steve ate something questionable and didn't get botulism
His immune system will laugh at botulism
Steve is a tough guy it takes something really really bad to kill him but Steve knows to stay away from that.
I, too, am thankful Steve hasn't contracted botulism from eating 30-100 year old rations. 🥧🙏🦃
I think the botulism would catch Steve..
There is less than 1k cases per year...... extremely rare.... and this is a new item why would It already be bad?
Going back to Re-watch this video is very bittersweet for me. My dad originally introduced me to Steve's channel, and was a big MRE guy. He followed every single MRE channel out there and acquired some pretty cool ones over the years for us to eat. In that way, it brings back happy memories... But on the other side.. When we watched this video together on its original release date last year. Neither of us has any idea that my dad only had 10 days left on earth. He sadly passed away fairly suddenly from complications following a heart attack, on his birthday. He was only 62....seems kinda young for this day and age.. We shared a lot of interests over the years, and he was always a really good friend, while still being a good dad. RIP bud... I'll come back to this video every year and think of you... I hope you're out there, somewhere... And thank you Steve for providing in your videos a bunch of great opportunities for me and the old man to take a break from our busy lives and spend quality time together. I know you likely won't read this comment due to the age of the video. But it had to be said. To everyone else... Spend time with your loved ones whenever you can. Don't ever be "too busy" to visit, or travel for Thanksgiving or some other holiday.. Make time even if you have to inconvenience yourself to do so.. Don't ever say "well, I'll do it next year" or "we'll get together next time".. My father and I still had a ton of stuff we had been planning to do for years, but were in no rush because we thought we had time. Don't make the same mistake and live with regrets. Peace and long life to anyone who may have come across this comment. For those of you going through a rough time right now.. May you all have a better, and wonderful day, week, month, year.. Whatever you need.
Hey man, I'm really sorry to hear about your dad passing on so suddenly like that.
Dude, 62 is way too young. Thank you for passing this along, and I hope you can find some peace and good times with new folks in life, and the friends and family you already have too.
Nothing will likely fill the void completely by any means, but maybe doing some of those things you two planned together with someone else in life that you trust and value as a friend or family member.
Keep on rockin' man. Life goes on and there's so much to be grateful for. Wishing you all the best, dude! Take care.
@@Steve1989MRE Thank you so much for the incredibly kind words Steve. I Really do appreciate it big time, and it means a lot. You're a really good dude and I wish you all the success and happiness that life could ever possibly provide. Don't ever change man.. The world would be a FAR better place if more people had your outlook and attitude about stuff.. Seriously.. I can't thank you enough for the super heartfelt response.
People share far too much on the internet to make me actually believe them. 🤦🏻♂️

Steve: "Nice hiss"
Steve really reminds of Bob Ross. So calm yet passionate about what he does. The Joy of Rations.
Happy little cranberries.
If Bob Ross pythons for arms.
I've had the same thought while watching his videos.
i read your comment in Solidus Snake voice.
Hell of an accurate comparison.
*Nurse delivering Steve's first child
Steve : Nice , lets get this out on a tray.
Steve to Wife: Nice Hiss!
Baby is too fresh for Steve.
MK Let's start out by checking. . . . .
Right off the bat we have some vernix caseosa, screaming, an umbilical cord, and I think I see a poop?! Not sure if that’s from Mama or Baby...
You have it all wrong. Nurse would say "let's get this out onto a tray. Nice!" Baby farts. "Nice hiss"
The vet that came up with that Beverage base + Cranberries trick is a MAD GENIUS
When the world needed him most, he vanished.

Ya😔. Wonder when a new video will be posted.
@@KubanKevin the sun will shine upon us again someday, brother.
Where's Steve gone...Only just Found Him ? !
@@andyjackson994 According to his brother, he is focusing on doing a big project for the channel and will be back soon.
Steve at a wedding about to make a toast: Taps champagne glass in a Major Scale.
Nice hiss...
Hahhahahahagagagaggagag
Now let's get this reception onto a dance floor- Nice.
i bet that when he gets portion of the wedding cake, he goes back to that corner with door at his back, eats it there and comments on that :D
I can imagine the dining reception full of MRE rations.
Bro he makes these MRE sound like 5 star dishes made by Gordon Ramsey himself, but half of the dishes he makes it sound like it’s a failed child.
Fr lmao
nice!
@@Steve1989MRE I love you so much man
This one wasn't an MRE though.
@@Steve1989MRE I got one of your coffee instant mugs and I love it. Ended up finding out a coworker of mine and his son love your videos as well, they're supposed to be getting an MRE from MRE Mountain or somewhere similar soon and said they'd share it with me. Gonna be my first MRE! :)
When there’s been no Steve since November 2020: (not) nice.
Hope he's ok! I was just wondering where Steve has been myself
Yeah I hope he is OK... I'm starting to get worried.
Me as well
Was wondering where hes at? I'm getting Hungry.
same here... i haven’t got any notif uploads.. hope he’s okay
Man CZcams sucks without Steve’s new videos showing up
def
he's back now friend
Me when Steve uploads twice on Thanksgiving: *Nice*
👌🏽
Lmao
He always does
My thoughts exactly friend
Happy Thanksgiving Ian!
Ya gotta do a room tour man, let’s be honest we all want that
That would be cool for a video
I wanna see where all his MRE stuff is, he saves almost everything.
That's all I'm ever thinking about while watching his videos
@@themango9644 He keeps everything so secret and does everything so methodically. You enjoy everything but know nothing about what makes him happy
@@1hunglow582 correct
So, on The Walking Dead tonight, Daryll found some MRE's, and right before he put one in his bag, he paused and said "nice!" That had to a shout out to Steve, that's awesome! Nice!
I KNOW RIGHT!?
They're definitely a fan.
@@jetrickgordo4026 who isnt a fan
Legends say that Steve made himself into a MRE, and that someone will make a video about him in 20 years.
Lol...that name
@Tree vlogs that would make a good horror movie
Steve’s room is like that cool older brother’s and you just can’t help explore all that neat stuff when he’s away at college.
And then you find the bad dragon dildos

@@Steve1989MRE hey, where did you find a case of MCWs? I've been looking on ebay and mreinfo but no luck
@@Steve1989MRE can you get this on Amazon and if you do how much are they
@@gunnarthefeisty are they on Amazon
@@stevenmyers1335 no. Any ration on Amazon is grossly overpriced, just look on eBay.
Hey Steve. You teased us with 12 MCWs, so naturally we want the other 11 reviews!
I swear Steve is the only person in the world to literally have me salivate over an MRE.
>Seafood Chowder MCW
Something about a ration involving seafood does not fill me with confidence.
Does that still exist?
@@arandomhungarian1659 He pulled one out of the case at around the 2:40 mark
It’s the best one IMO. Add some hot sauce and a piece of bread. That’s good eatin in the woods.
@@evantemple4341 Perhaps it's just because i'm used to watching videos in which Steve devours decades old food.
seafood *and milk.* I'm more than a little terrified.
I love that he eats it all . Without doubt the greatest mre youtube channel ever . Not only that , Steve has an amazing amount of mre knowledge, while watching his videos he shares it often... it's very interesting. Appreciate you Steve and you sharing your wisdom . See ya bud
nice!

Hes in stable condition.
@@stevebeave9252 what happened to him???
@@stevebeave9252 ??? Don’t leave us hanging with an answer like that! What happened??
Please add a video. Because you’ve been gone so long I’ve been buying MRE’s and 1 tray to put them on. I just can’t put that stuff on a tray like you. I’m also dreaming about opening sealed bags and saying “nice hiss”
Steve 😭
I had some of these while I was in Afghanistan, we would use them during the winter months where nights would drop to -24 these are absolutely amazing and delicious meals, best individual rations we have for the service. Incidentally thank you from a Veteran for thanking Veterans we appreciate it Steve.
Steve is like your crazy uncle. Shows up once in a while, uploads a couple times, then disappears for a long time.
I can relate, I'm that Uncle hahaha. I've always wonder what my niece and nephew think of me. When they were younger and acting up really bad my sister would call me and get me to tell them if they don't stop I'm going to come over there and they weren't going to like it. Worked every time some times she just had to threaten to call me. I never even had to do anything they never tried me. I would have hated to drive a total of 8 hours to retain my reputation (more than likely wouldn't have unless I was bored at the time). I'm not even sure why they were so scared I was always really nice to them.
Hes been disappearing before?
But he always brings presents when he does visit.
@@Steven_Edwards this time, his present isn't his penis, unfortunately, but another excellent flirt with a rumbly tummy
He needs time to work on his guns.
I’m from Mullins, SC and it’s always a trip to see SOPACKO and “Mullins, SC” on Steve’s videos here ... our little town of 3,000 making us proud.
Mullins is also famous for having one of the highest crime rates of any city or town in the country.. It's kind of shocking but it's completely true.. I stumbled across that information while doing research for a paper I had to write.. It's not just property crimes either.. The rate of violent crimes like rape and assault are way above the national average.. I believe the crime rate in Mullins was higher than 98% of the country if I remember right..
Didn't he almost vomit on a few of those MREs?
McAllen, Texas never claimed pride in the vomelette, but they should. That thing will go down in history.
Sam, it's certainly something to be proud of. Keeping the world's finest fed is a very important job. I tip my proverbial hat to your town and those folks that work so hard to keep the military running.
@@MarkLada I hate to say it but a lot of the tiny cities have pathetic crime rates. Usually the unemployment is high, drugs are plentiful and the nearly 'no-budget' Police are spread way too thin. There are numbers in relation to the number of Officers needed per numbers of citizens. The problem is that the numbers always show that only one officer is needed. When only one officer is on duty, all the criminals have to do is be aware of their location. I have worked in rural law enforcement in the south for many years. When a city has a tiny police department, the county LE kinda write that city off as 'Not our problem'. I have worked as the only officer on duty in a small city a lot. I have worked as the only officer on duty in an entire county, too.
Mullins, you can be proud of keeping the War Fighters fed well. The crime problems are strictly the fault of a city council that doesn't want to fund it's local police and a county government that doesn't think within the city limits is part of their problem. Like everything in our modern world, it all comes down to money.
Y'all Take Care and be safe, John
Heh, and no "Factory Outlet?"
glad to hear hes ok. 3 months without a video, well, i think we are all thinking the same thing: maybe he shouldnt have eaten that twinkie form 1953
Or the bread from the 1900’s
How about that hard tack. It must of taken ages to digest. 🤣
The beef from the 1800’s? Lmao
Absolutely it's been a while since hurricane Ian and no word from Steve, hope he's okay
Scientists: find remains of 1000 years old meal
Steve: Let get this on the tray
😂😂😂
The "Let's get this out on to a tray, nice." and "Nice hiss" Never gets old man.
Is the nice hiss for me
Seeing all twelve of those rations laid out on the table makes me feel patriotic and hungry at the same time.
Watch him with snack nearby

@@Steve1989MRE mkay
When your reply gets more likes than the original comment....nice.
Ratioed by a simple "nice".
What amazes me is how popular this channel is despite being about such a niche thing. I think it boils down to Steve’s relaxing voice and chill disposition.
I love these videos, I’m pretty certain that I have watched all of them, some multiple times. What I would really like to see is a “making of” video. From the search for a ration to the filming and editing of the final product. It would be interesting to see it all in the third person like we were all with you while it was all being done. That would be nice. Also, I can’t wait to see another homemade ration, Thanksgiving was such a treat. I also wonder about out takes and deleted scenes too. Keep up the amazing content Steve, it’s crazy how a simple history hobby can be so interesting and inspiring. Please don’t get sick. Thank you.
That would be Awesome! I too would like to know the details. Plus, he could do it in kind of a mockumentary style.. interview with dad about what age he was when he first heard him say 'nice hiss', find out from Mom if everything had to be on a tray with compartment to get him to eat anything as a toddler, etc. 😉
Steve1989: come for the MREs stay to see what shirt Steve is wearing
HIS tshirts are awesome, i want the RAMBO one! where can we buy them?
RATIONAL one is my fav.
Coating the osmotic cranberries with the grape drink powder - pure genius. Makes good use of the sugar and artificial flavourings. A food chemist told me that banana was one of the easiest artificial flavours to make, there's a non-toxic chemical that smells exactly like it. You mainly taste with your nose apparently.
Very true about the nose stuff. If you hold your nose and eat an apple and an onion, you wouldn't be able to distinguish them. The texture is almost identical.
For some reason I can usually distinguish artificial banana flavor pretty easily. I don't like natural banana flavored things, but artificial banana tastes downright revolting. Like chemical nausea mocking banana essence.
I can't watch any other CZcamsr make this type of content Steve is the master of the MRE's reviews hands-down
I absolutely enjoy this content. I've been binge watching all of it ever since I found it.
Me waiting for the spoon music he always makes: 😊👌🏻
I got the music!😀
Good :)

Looked for this comment
I’m thankful for his calming voice that helps me sleep at night .
I put Steve's ration Vids on with earphones at night I don't care if it autoplays his old Vids with all ads easy to listen too trying to sleep. Put this vid on tonight to do it lol.
The problem is that I want to get up again and make a snack!
Seen pretty much all your videos and coming back around again because your videos really cheer me up during these dark times. Thanks for everything Steve.
Steve, I’d love to see the rest of these meals. Thank you for all your hard work.
As Les Stroud says “Want to eat good food ? don’t eat for 24 hours, ANYTHING is good food”
Hunger makes everything delicious like Gordon Ramsay 's dishes.
LOL, Les is the man! Love it when he hasn't eaten in days, then chomps down on a piece of maggot infested wood and goes...MMMMM SO GOOD!!!!
Out of all the MREs that I've seen on this channel so far, this one appears the most appetizing and "normal" to me.
The reindeer and ostrich MREs seemed tasty.
@@sonikku956 I'll have to watch those videos. Thank you!
I started watching these videos when I was in the hospital a few years ago. Your videos are so satisfying for some reason to me, keep up the good work! I especially like the ones where you smoke the old cigarettes and you make the MREs and always love the coffee instant type 1. You even inspired me to mix my hot chocolate with coffee and creamer. I must say, it is... nice...
I find it so funny that this guy reviews/ tastes MRES for a living and has almost 2 million subscribers doing it AND has fun. Love the content🤘🏼
As a 24 year veteran of the Marines.. I always thought that cold weather rations were awesome
and people probably wonder why they never see him at the grocery store.
Lol
🤣
I like how much information he's able to give so easily about the MREs. I also like the fun little cup music taping edits haha
WE MISS YOU STEVE, I COME HERE EVERYDAY
I just stumbled across this channel and I’m now addicted.

It is soothing and informative
Idk how I even got here but I’m not mad about it.

Me in prison in the food line: alright lets get this out onto a tray. Nice!
Then sit down an imitate Steve eating your entire meal lolol

I just realized I watch these vids for your narration more than the rations now... Thanks for the great content all these years, hope you're doing well :)
Recently got one of these guys in a pack of 6 and wow. MCW rations are way different than a standard MRE. Thanks for helping me find a new hobby, Steve!
The aesthetic this man creates is second to none, Steve preparing an mre is pure poetry.

Always look forward to your uploads! Can't get enough. Eating always while watching. Keep 'em comin'
Steve, I don't know if you'll be back. But I wanted to take a minute to just thank you for all of the memorable content. You were a legend in my opinion. The countless hours of informative & interesting videos about things I would have never experienced otherwise. Thank you sir.
Maybe he's dead
When you're reading out the different menu options and the music intensifies, you know it's serious.
The way this guy says "nice okay" when an mre is put on a tray is soothing.
This MRE will heal you 10hp every 5 seconds while also giving you a buff for your stamina and attack strenght stats
That would be a good buffing spell for an rpg.
How long does that status effect last for?

it will be the nicest of hisses
Something about this almost felt like a throwback. Classic Steve, enjoying his MRE. Nostalgic almost. Thanks again sir
these are the ones my dad would bring back and we'd eat for a couple days after thank you steve
Sir Steve of MRE’s, I am patiently awaiting your return. I just haven’t slept right the past 4 months. Cannot wait to see what’s up your sleeve. 💙
