    I think the $2000 was worth it. If this guy hadn't bought it, it probably would have sat on a shelf somewhere in someone's collection. Even if it was in a museum, it would have been a minor item in a display that people would have glanced over and forgotten in a minute. But thanks to this video, five million people have been able to have the vicarious experience of eating it.

    Steve, I'd like to share a memory with you.
    I go home from college every so often to see my parents. Well, one particular Saturday when I came home I wasn't able to sleep very well so I watched tv from about 4 am to 6 am. I heard my dad come out and make coffee, and we talk for a bit.
    "Hey dad, wanna see something cool? There's this guy on youtube that opens old MRE's and reviews them in a very neat way"
    We sat through the whole morning watching your videos while the sun rose. My dad was a CW4 in the Night Stalkers back in 2010, and he thought your videos were very entertaining. After he watched a few, he was saying "Nice" after every "Let's get this out onto a tray." He especially liked your US Army spaghetti review, and he said it brought back a lot of good memories.
    Thanks again, Steve.

    I wish I had seen this earlier. My grandpa served in WW2, but his grandfather had served in WW1 near the end, and they described something like this. They called it the "Chemical Porridge" because they said none of them would survive being carried around in their packs next to their metal ammo boxes, metal canteens and other hard objects that would dent, poke or jostle the air tight canister. They claimed that half the time when you opened it, it would be bad, and probably lased with whatever chemical agent was used that day. A lot of these were left in an area that was exposed to gas attacks, and the ones that had holes in them would be compromised, but the quartermasters rarely did a quality check on them before handing them out, their rationale being they were only supposed to be used in a life or death situation anyway so it didn't improve your chances of survival by that much.
    His grandpa would say than when you did find one of these, you would often buy a sausage or fatty meat from one of the locals and cook that first then add the porridge in the leftover fatty oil and serve it as a sausage porridge. Even with the added meat and fat, nobody liked the stuff, but it made an intolerable meal that might just as easily kill you as keep you fed a little more tolerable. There would also be a few soldiers who were entrepreneurs who would carry sausages around inside their clothing to hide from the officers and trade them to the soldiers for a few cigarettes or some extra pay.

    The grits he's noticing in the chocolate might be due to inferior grinding methods they had back then. Chocolate is sort of like peanut butter where it starts out hard and then gets ground into a paste, but it's much, much harder to get completely smooth. Chocolate used to just be like that.

      Your grandmother was born in the transition from horses to motor vehicles and died the year smartphones came out. Mine was born into a world that still traveled by horses and died a month after 9-11. She was mentally sharp until a day before she died, so she knew about 9-11, watched it on live TV from her assisted living. She told me on the phone that it was the beginning of WWIII and advised me to move back to Maine if I wanted to survive.

      My grandma was born in 1909. She passed in 1996 - very young, at the age of only 86 (there are suspicions that her death was not natural). She was also mentally sharp and knew exactly what's going on and how things would progress in the world. Now, 26 years after her passing, I find that she was absolutely right! Grandma also still remembered horse drawn carts and the early cars, and gas lights. She passed before 9/11 of course but she was always aware that war could break out at any moment the way things are. Just think, this ration was produced three years before my grandma was born, and got eaten 24 years after my grandma's passing... wow! (and I'm just watching this video again after a few years, lol)

    I started watching Steve just out of fascination, marveling at how somebody could eat rations that outdated most of us watching his channel. Then I came to appreciate the historical significance of it. Steve really gives insight to what we're watching and for the times and location and history behind the purpose of that that particular ration. I have learned a great deal from him and I think he should be somehow officially recognized by some sort of historical society. For I know though he may have, I haven't seen all the videos. Just my insight, sure I'm not the only person to come to that conclusion.

    When I was in the Boy Scouts in the 50's, we'd have pemmican when we had to carry our food on our winter hikes and overnights. It really needs to boiled for about a half hour, until it gets down to a thick soup, kind of like clam chowder. We always carried dehydrated onion, salt, pepper, and those little bottles of hot sauce for the pemmican, since it had almost no taste on its own. We'd throw the onion in with the pemmican soup about ten minutes before it was ready, and that really helped the flavor. Each scout added salt, pepper, and hot sauce to taste. When you're sitting in your tent with a temperature of 15 degrees and snowing so hard you couldn't see the tents across from us, pemmican was actually pretty good. I can see how it was a sustainable cold weather food.

      @@formalbusinessonion7265 It's easy. You can buy pemmican from just about any outdoor foods dealer. Dump it into a pan with the amount of water called for on the package and then boil the crap out of it for at least a half hour. Even an hour won't hurt. It's the kind of food you want when you need something to be cooking while you're setting up camp. Make sure you have the spices I talked about or whatever your favorites might be. Pemmican tastes just like dirt without things to spice it up, but it's pretty tolerable when you do. It's survived all this time because you just can't get much else with its combination of durability, calorie denseness, and weight.

Steve then began eating them when he could because, as he said, “I want to eat what heroes eat”.

    Steve, the history lessons are invaluable in your videos. You have a lot of respect for the past, and it shows in your videos. You try to imagine what it could be like living in the time of these rations-a weary, tired soldier that just has a precious amount of time to find some way to relax, if possible in their situation, to eat. The momentary break of eating a meal is very important for morale. Soldiers are tired, weary, stressed out due to the war or conflict they’re putting their efforts into, supporting their side. Thank you again for showing this important history in every video you make. And thank you Steve for the hard work you put into each video!

      Well it is Pemmican and high sugar cacao chocalate with no milk vacuum sealed in a can. Pemmican Is already known for a long shelf life when made by hand, and Chocolate when not made with milk essentially never goes bad (the bloom is it's own phenomenon, but doesn not really cause anything to go bad) and then there's the fact that it's almost perfectly dry and vacuum sealed. All of this results in an extraordinarily long shelf life, and I can imagine that the food wasn't too much different (aside from the chocolate) back when it was first made.
