This is a modern miracle . When I watch Steve eat an ancient mre and not explode WOW. These food technicians are so brilliant. Thank you good people.
I like MRE's but I swear that the devs have never actually tried the garlic mashed potatoes
The key with those is to mix it with a main, the new one that comes with beef strips is pretty good when you mix it. Good in MRE terms that is Lmaoooooo

I never once received a card asking what I thought about my MRE’s.... has anyone here?
If they had given you cards to report your interests they wouldn’t of removed good menu options like au grautin potatoes, slabs of ham (if I remember correctly), freeze dried fruit, or the old style pound cakes in leu of processed, carb rich foods...but I digress
@@ash2xx1 yeah I could see some shitheads complaining about the good items. I was just surprised to hear that in the video.
@@ash2xx1 freeze dried fruit was the shit
Bring back corned beef hash. Spray dried coffee, and coffee in every menu. Ditto with cocoa. Candy: go deep and bring back the Nam era fudge bars. Especially vanilla and coconut.
I applied and was approved to participate in an MRE gut research project where I volunteered to eat only MRE meals for 21 days during the summer of 2016. I was provided with a weeks worth of MRE's until the 21 days had passed. I was required to consume all of each meals menu items and return all of the food empty packages / materials provided to me for acurate accountability during the test period. I gave blood, stool and urine samples when requested by the project support lab scientist.
Most of the mre I have eaten in the Marines are older than three years probably date back to 2013.
Thanks for your Service Marine.
This is so informative. Just got back from the field. Amazing technology and if you get the time to heat them up, they’re good.
Well, now we all know. Battle buddies testing it for us, too. Brilliant. The southwest black bean w/beef thing and the vanilla pudding were my favorites.
Can you design them to taste better?
The very first MRE I had was in Army basic training in 1984. It was in a dark brown bag. It was a dehydrated pork patty. I am still tasting it today........
Just give them Croatian MRE Steve does a great job on these. There seems to be so many good ones form overseas
Eating that killer oatmeal cookie bar in 1990 nearly took my molars out!
Sens these MRE's too countries who need food as well as UNICEF, red cross , food closets and countries struck hardest by covid 19.
Canned food and food pouches wouldn't exist if it wasn't for military research for food preservation .
actually the invention of canned food was two centuries ago and not related to warfare - but nice try at sounding intelligent
Nor top ramen.
@@recoswellwoah, they didn’t have war 200 years ago?!?!?
@@recoswell”Shortly before the Napoleonic Wars, the French government offered a hefty cash award of 12,000 francs to any inventor who could devise a cheap and effective method of preserving large amounts of food to create well-preserved military rations for the Grande Armée.”
The answers to my questions!
I wish i had a pair of USA mre boxes every month to the end of my life
When are MREs going to become freeze dried so they last longer
One was eaten from 1940 and even way earlier and they were perfect. Steve1989MREinfo
They had freeze dried fruits that Steve1989 has reviewed... no clue why they got rid of them
Those are called Meal, Cold Weather/Meal, Long Range Patrol. Freeze dried entree from Oregon Freeze Dried(aka Mountain House) and the latest iteritation has been in production since the early 2000s.
@@ElandilMRE Right. And it’s mainly for practicality reasons, as food would freeze in arctic climates and finding water to prepare those meals in other combat situations is a pain in the ass.
They used to have freeze dried ones. I ate them back in the 90s.
nice video
So... future of MRE is dry dehydrated break?! or is it only for emergency ration? 4:10
I think it will be optional, in case there is no much space
I think those are meant to be rehydrated, though I guess in an absolute emergency you _could_ eat the bar straight.
Honestly from the videos I've watched of Steve1989 the MRE has gone downhill since 1980/1990. That food actually seemed more palatable and sustaining...
Edit: I’ve had 1, 1994 menu #8, both 1996 ham menus, and a 1986 in-flight. Can confirm food was much better.
Perhaps the office of the surgeon general should consider that you *don't get any nutrition from something you don't eat* because it's too disgusting...
To be fair, though, I can tell you that certain things have a way of tasting better after long day on a field exercise or deployment.
God I'm hungry watching this
LOVE them!!!!! 🙏❤🙏
Same. Literally eating one now. Thanks to my cousin whos still in the Marines.
Uh. No
I don't know how some of them pass any sort of taste test. Some should NEVER be released for anyone to eat. And the last lied about "no preservatives" takes 2 seconds looking up the ingredients.
Nice!
Of all MREs, dont ever pass me the hard tack or we simply called it dog biscuit. That piece is hard as a rock and need to soak into hot coffee to make it soft but still taste terrible. I always bring my own butter biscuit or vanilla flavor shortbread in my full battle order whenever on the field back in the 90s. 😁😄
I fucking love mres I love the pumpkin pound cake
y'all need to double the size of the main entree and cut out some of the garbage items like skittles etc.
How to dodge an MRE in the military. Join the Navy, don't get sick or injured in bootcamp. And that should do it.
So it tastes like food
The first host is hot af
Who chose the horrid brown colour?
Over the last decade I've watched the MRE get so much worse. WTH are they even talking about.
Why is this reporter smiling unnecessary? Quite annoying!
she's a lib
Most Mre's suck or are just awful make them like the european rations which are way better
I wish I did not know that such a horse faced "food scientist" formulated the concoctions that I thought I survived on in the military, which now I question. I wonder how much of my beer gut is MRE gut clogging every nutritional capacity killing me from the inside. I figure I have 3 years or less to live left...(HUMOR PEOPLE!!!!) I KID!!!!
Lol why can’t they afford a mandolin for slicing vegetables 😂
Wtf is this
You waist all this money and even with Gordon Ramsey making a show with marines and MRE's .
Your food looks like they're eating card board, of course they'll eat it. You're starving your soldiers.
"Taste like food"
Subjective
funny how "taste like actual food" was like 5th on her list
I’ve got one word for ya:
