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.
"In 2020, an over 100 year old sample in a ration was successfully preserved and eaten by RUclipsr Steven Thomas." Steve made it into the pemmican wikipedia article. Nice

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.
Remember food back then wasn't full of additives and flavourings like it is now. That's probably what it tasted like pretty much, a bit bland compared to our modern day palette.
I get it, I get it, it's amazing! but please don't say, it's like a porridge grain soup again! Ever!!! No really, Never!!! I feel like we have a non event when it comes to describing it. I mean its water, and hard, tooth chipping grain...it's a porridge! AAAHHHH!!!!Stop!!! actually, I bailed out at, "It's sorta like a sewage Smelling" Good-bye!!!!!
Is Steve actually Captain America?? His name is Steve like Steve Rogers, he has biceps the size of mountains, he’s patriotic and seems like he’s a man not of this era. I feel like he must’ve been defrosted and now he’s trying to relive the past by opening old Military Rations and the reason his stomach can take eating all this old stuff is because he’s actually a Super-Soldier!!! You cant fool me Captain America!!!!!!
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.
Incredible Steve. My great grandmother was born in 1906. She passed in 2007 about a month shy of her 101st birthday. It baffles me this ration out lived her, and you ate it 😂 Keep up the great work 👍
My grandmother was born in 1898, died in 2001, 10 days after her 103rd birthday. This stuff was made in her lifetime and outlived her, too! 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.
@@mariekatherine5238 I'm not sure that Maine is far enough since the globalists are focusing on the United States. Personally, I'd head south to Mexico and or Central America.
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 watch these and I'm like "I'm amazed he's not run off and vomited right after eating some of this stuff." But it goes to show how long stuff can stay preserved if kept under the right conditions.
Isn’t it crazy. That lil cow has a great great great great grandcow out there somewhere, just oblivious knowing that his ancestors have just been eat. Life is fine
"Just standing in the corner like a really weird dude eating old food" $700 old food. That meal cost more than any I have ever eaten in my life! Great content!
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.
Eating these is so much better than letting them rot on a shelf. Like you say, sooner or later they are just going to go bad. Cleaning out the tins so they won't be eaten by rust and documenting the eating of the content is the best way to preserve the history
Pretty much! Until the point where we can make forever rations (perfectly preserved forever by breaking the laws of thermodynamics) they will go bad one day. May as well document taste, smell, texture, and prep before then.
Exactly. Steve is the king of mre preservation and documentation. As an history enthusiast I'm deeply gratefull for the experience of watching him unveil and describe them for us.
I think this is far more important than letting them be. He's showing what they looked like on the inside and preserving everything in a good amount of detail.
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.
What a neat perspective, I'll have to look into pemmican more, something that transcends generations; which is one aspect I enjoy about Steve's videos.
@@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.
@@CREEPINGIRON Yeah, I really like all the old rations. I haven't thought about pemmican in a long time. It's not freeze dried steak, but it was okay stuff in the days before freeze dried food and you were carrying everything yourself. I'm amazed Steve would spend a couple grand to just entertain us, but I suspect he enjoyed it more than any of us did. :-)
This channel is so fucking cool and wholesome, just a community of people into history. No shock factor, ads, BS. Just a dude sharing his hobby with us. You keep being you, Steve
Agreed. Not many people would be willing to spend money on seriously opening and analyzing preserved historical items. Most folks buy stuff like this to resell, (Not to say anything bad about that, somethings should be preserved and they do have value) but Steve is really willing to put in extra effort to understand this specific time and item. That being said he did just eat a century and a half year old food. I don't understand it but I still do have to respect it.
I've heard you say that you give some components to museums sometimes. That's great, but I also realize. Your channel IS a museum. And people from all over can see vs just a few that have a museum near them. Very interesting to see all your treasures and experiences. Thank you for sharing.
@@megannason3649it’s his hobby and he’ll make that back on the video. He also won’t open a vintage one unless he’s obtained a second one to preserve in a private collection. Look at the bigger picture bud.
Steve is a culinary astronaut. He marches fearlessly into the void and narrates his experiences and describes in elaborate detail exactly what he sees and hears (and tastes) as if describing it to a team of awestruck scientists on the other side of a black hole, listening to this brave astronaut having traveled past the event horizon for the first time.
I always love seeing the care and reverence Steve takes in these historical rations. I've seen other RUclipsrs spend the money and they just tear them to pieces complaining about the smell and appearance. They end up with the destroyed pile of crumbled food and shredded packaging on the table in front of them.
Perspective: this ration was 6 years old when SS Titanic sunk, 21 years old when when the Hindenburg crashed, 35 years old when WW2 started, 57 years old when JFK was assassinated and I was born. I’m 57 now......
SS titanic also if someone is going to say RMS titanic you’re wrong because a ship has to finish its maiden voyage to be given the designation by the Royal Mail service
@@mr.wonderfulwisdomouswonde2991 SS stands for Steam Ship and is the standard designation. HMS stands for his/her majesty’s ship used on Royal Navy vessels
“This ancient spirit of Rah has an earthy balance, it’s decadent. Really a step above the rest considering the soul of Baal was canned around the same time” “let’s get this out onto an alter, nice”
I read a story about Steve in which a journalist asked about his passion for military rations. If I remember correctly, his father explained to him, as a child, that these are what soldiers eat in emergencies and while fighting wars. Steve then began eating them when he could because, as he said, “I want to eat what heroes eat”. I love that story and as a veteran, thanks Steve for showing me what my heroes were eating when they were fighting for freedom so long before me.
To put this into perspective, when we were storming the beaches of Normandy in WW2, this ration was in its same can and had been like that for 38 years already! Insane.
Hahaha and your average Joe then would be like “no way in hell am I eating 38 year old rations” 😂 Now it’s 114 years old and Steve is just like *omnomnom
Hardtack from 1863: Tastes like mothballs and old books, cool. Fried beef from 1899-1901: Tastes foul, lets make it into a porridge, it still tastes awful, awesome. Pemmican from 1906: Smells like fish food. Makes it into a soup, doesn’t smell too bad, the broth tastes like sewage and grain tea and the grain is flavorless, great.
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!
This is truly so fascinating. I'm not interested in MREs or military history at all, but I love basking in people's interests and Steve examines these products so thoroughly and goes into the history with clear passion. The hiss from that can was incredibly satisfying, knowing how old it is and that it's managed to keep its seal for so long 💯
Imagine being the person who manufactured this in 1906, some factory worker wondering if this food would still be good by the time it got to the troops.. not ever thinking that in 112yrs some guy would be eating one for the internet.. lol
Hey Steve, I was close to having a panic attack today and this was exactly what I needed to get my head straight. Great content, and such a calming voice. Thanks again
You took the right action, then! Score!! The Mamlambo Fossils channel has some really chill videos where the host excavates fossil crabs from rocks. The crabs are really cool.
Imagine the life of the farmer who grew and harvested that wheat in the pemmican. It is amazing to think about. Lives long gone but here you are eating the fruits of their labor and here we are, looking at it.
I hate when other ration reviewers open 90's rations and dont eat anything, wasting it saying it's not safe to eat!! 90's rations are still "fresh" by Steve's standards.
What I want to know is, how does HE know? But then again, NO I DON'T!! Makes me think of the urban legend of the wannabe fuel thief, who tried to suck Syphon the wrong tank on a RV.
I'm legitimately stunned. Those Boer War rations we saw a while back were amazing, but in understandable condition. I legitimately cannot imagine how this ration was kept in as good shape as it is. Like, did they straight up bury it in the Arctic or something?
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.
In the past he said he has gotten botulism from MREs but just imagine him going to the hospital for this. telling a doctor you ate a 112 year old canned meat.

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 - Not really... He was hospitalized a few years ago, after eating some "eastern block" MRE from about 1970. He is part human, part billy-goat.
Steve eats 114 year old ration chocolate: "Hey, this is delicious chocolate"...finds tiny sliver of aluminum foil in it "can't eat that it's not good for you"...
Yep. I think he should consider writing in his will that he agrees his body to be donated for science. If we can replicate his stomach - it will solve some of the nastiest diseases caused by impure watter and food.
The level of enthusiasm for MREs is in another level😂. I’ve eaten so many MREs in the marine corps and we primarily threw away everything but the cheese packet lol. I don’t understand how one can get so excited about dried foods in any context, but here I am watching. I just like it when he says “nice!” 😂
When I'm relaxing for the night and am in a chilled out mood I like to watch this in the background when I'm doing other things like drawing or playing a game on my phone and it's so relaxing for some reason lol. You get to see cool, basically antique packaging, the suprise of whether the food is good anymore and a interesting history lesson from a calm voice. This is my jam.
Can we take a moment to appreciate Steve spent over $2,000 on both these rations for us to appreciate? Thank you Steve!

Exactly. Steve is the king of mre preservation and documentation. As an history enthusiast I'm deeply gratefull for the experience of watching him unveil and describe them for us.
I think this is far more important than letting them be. He's showing what they looked like on the inside and preserving everything in a good amount of detail.
i think it already gone bad😅
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.
Sounds tasty old timer, wish I knew how to make it
FormalBusinessOnion watch townsends. They show you how to make it
What a neat perspective, I'll have to look into pemmican more, something that transcends generations; which is one aspect I enjoy about Steve's videos.
@@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.
@@CREEPINGIRON Yeah, I really like all the old rations. I haven't thought about pemmican in a long time. It's not freeze dried steak, but it was okay stuff in the days before freeze dried food and you were carrying everything yourself. I'm amazed Steve would spend a couple grand to just entertain us, but I suspect he enjoyed it more than any of us did. :-)
This channel is so fucking cool and wholesome, just a community of people into history. No shock factor, ads, BS. Just a dude sharing his hobby with us. You keep being you, Steve
Steve should really be getting recognition from the academic community for his work developing a primary history source.
Yeah, I think youre right.
100% a national treasure
Agreed. Not many people would be willing to spend money on seriously opening and analyzing preserved historical items.
Most folks buy stuff like this to resell, (Not to say anything bad about that, somethings should be preserved and they do have value) but Steve is really willing to put in extra effort to understand this specific time and item.
That being said he did just eat a century and a half year old food. I don't understand it but I still do have to respect it.
i agree. i do wish he was a little more careful opening these things though..
@@patrickbyrne5070 this one was his worst opening I’ve em seen him do. He’s usually better than this vid.

Steve is a culinary astronaut. He marches fearlessly into the void and narrates his experiences and describes in elaborate detail exactly what he sees and hears (and tastes) as if describing it to a team of awestruck scientists on the other side of a black hole, listening to this brave astronaut having traveled past the event horizon for the first time.
Awesome analogy! For me it's akin to culinary archaeology. How can he top this.... jarred food offerings from an ancient egyptian tomb?

I always love seeing the care and reverence Steve takes in these historical rations. I've seen other RUclipsrs spend the money and they just tear them to pieces complaining about the smell and appearance. They end up with the destroyed pile of crumbled food and shredded packaging on the table in front of them.

I read a story about Steve in which a journalist asked about his passion for military rations. If I remember correctly, his father explained to him, as a child, that these are what soldiers eat in emergencies and while fighting wars. Steve then began eating them when he could because, as he said, “I want to eat what heroes eat”. I love that story and as a veteran, thanks Steve for showing me what my heroes were eating when they were fighting for freedom so long before me.
That’s the wholesome lore I never knew I wanted to know about Steven.

Hardtack from 1863: Tastes like mothballs and old books, cool.
Fried beef from 1899-1901: Tastes foul, lets make it into a porridge, it still tastes awful, awesome.
Pemmican from 1906: Smells like fish food. Makes it into a soup, doesn’t smell too bad, the broth tastes like sewage and grain tea and the grain is flavorless, great.
And gets food poisoned by 21st century chinese mre
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!

This is truly so fascinating. I'm not interested in MREs or military history at all, but I love basking in people's interests and Steve examines these products so thoroughly and goes into the history with clear passion. The hiss from that can was incredibly satisfying, knowing how old it is and that it's managed to keep its seal for so long 💯
Imagine being the person who manufactured this in 1906, some factory worker wondering if this food would still be good by the time it got to the troops.. not ever thinking that in 112yrs some guy would be eating one for the internet.. lol

Young MEN. Steve is a MAN. Let’s talk like adults here.
I'm legitimately stunned. Those Boer War rations we saw a while back were amazing, but in understandable condition. I legitimately cannot imagine how this ration was kept in as good shape as it is. Like, did they straight up bury it in the Arctic or something?
The boer was the oldest he had done right?
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.
Do you ever have illegal thoughts?
🍻🗽🇺🇸
Be N S O N No kidding. It came out nearly pristine. Cool to think this was the type of food our doughboys were eating in the trenches in WWI.
Still reeling from him describing pemmican both as "relative morale boosting" and "sewage water"
