You put way too little water in the stew. It is supposed to be 3-4 times more water and be more of a soup. If you dont put in more water and eat this for 1 week straight you will not shit for 1 week. Litteraly -Previous soldier in the Norwegian Army.
I was in Helsinki in a 100+ year old "all you can eat" place and they served buffet style reindeer, mash, pickle. That was one of the best experiences in my life, freezing and snow outside and fresh reindeer food inside. Nordics are on another level with their home style cooking.
Reindeer has the consistency of a really good veal, the taste is somewhat akin to beef, but with a bit "deeper" flavor. The rich flavors work really well with those lingonberries etc. Anything that has a bit acidity to balance the richness of the reindeer !
I never mixed Cocoa with Coffee when i was in the Norwegian army all the way up in the North back in 2010-2011 🇧🇻 I drank Coffee in the morning and Cocoa for lunch and had Coffee later when we had break. I liked the Chicken Curry we have the most. Love to see the reviews you make of all the Mre's, you do a great job buddy, from a big fan from Norway 🇧🇻👍🏻😊 Now, lets put it out onto a tray 😂
what we do when were out in the field, we put a spoonfull (the white spoon) of butter or margarine in after we have poured in water, then stir. the difference it makes is just amazing! - Norwegian soldier. Oh yeah, the breakfast (solgryn med bringebær) is the single most hated meal in the army.you should try it just for kicks. nice review tho!
This is what my girlfriend says to me when we go to bed. ''Let's get this out onto a tray, *FLUMP* Nice!'' XD I'm just kidding, it's not about the size of the boat...........it's the motion in............dang that's just what small people say. :(
My dad gained like 10 kg when he was stationed at the Russian border in the late 70s. He told me he used to eat a lot of MRE because it was so good even back then. That stew pack you got in that MRE is a nice brand. You can buy just the stew packs, in several different flavours, at different sporting goods stores. I usually buy the one you reviewed since its so good.
Ohh... We use creamer and milk, but usually darker roasts than what's common in other countries. Also, you should try that Regia hot chocolate on it's own, it is really good. Norway has probably some of the best if not the best chocolate in my totally biased opinion.
Its more like all the good chocolate producers sell their stuff in Norway since its so rich, other countries do all the work, Norway just gets the chocolate
does anyone think mislabeling the contents and actually the mre containing more than expected is planned? like for a moral boost, that's kinda what I'm thinking
It's a lot more common than you'd expect, but not common enough to be on purpose. The thing is - a lot of times the "extra" you'd get wasn't an extra, it just replaced something else; what's worse is what you got was a lot of times worse than what you should have gotten.
The reason why you like his videos is because its relaxing for you. The crackles of the boxes and cans is relaxing it is similar to ASMR and you perceive it subconciously, its the same with Bob Ross shows thats where ASMR originates from. And its kind of interesting aswell
Hey Steve :) Just a little sidenote i think you might find funny. As norwegians are adept at the english language, the word "Real" is kind of a pun on the english word, and the norwegian word real, that translates to "proper".
I think the reason for the high quality food is cause they don't have dozens of millions of troops. (and cause they are one of the richest countries in the world shh)
Real, who makes these packs, also produces these same packs for the civilian market. So they have to make them edible :) In fact, all of these ingredients are commercial goods available on the civilian market. Except the protein bars. So I' d guess that's how they can keep the prices down. I got one of these real freeze dried packages on a forest fire excersise. had been up for 24 hours, with just two slices of bread to eat so far. That was the best meal I have ever had! Pasta bolognese. I wolfed that down so fast! Fell a sleep with the package still in hand. I still sometimes by these packs as dinner, because they're so good! Been trying to get a hold of an old Norwegian 24 hour ration from the 1950's for you to review. they are so cool! I had one in 1995, and the cookies still held up :)
I went to Norway last summer. Such a beautiful country :D Since it was summer the sun was still up at 11pm haha. Watching this remind me of my experiences in Noway somehow lol.
Food coloring is added to make the food brighter and more appealing to the eye. The food tends to lose color when it's preprocessed and looks generally unappetizing. It's most prevalent in candies and food aimed at children since kids are drawn to bright colors.
Man it's not even the subjects that you're talking about are that interesting, YOU'RE the one that's so interesting. I could listen to someone talk about anything they're passionate about for hours. You rock!
Not sure why this video is back in my feed, but I’ll watch it again. Also. “I’ll never understand it.” When he was talking about the food coloring in US MREs, well he did figure it out. Took until 2021, but he did figure it out
The main meal here is produced by a commercial outdoors meal producer, and they are available to buy in sports goods stores, only difference is that the wrapping is orange. Some of the meals are really really good. When I was in the army, they hadn't done the green packaging yet, so we were dealt orange Spaghetti Bolognese, Cod Stew etc. We were having good dinners every day in the field. In fact, better than in camp.
I love this guy's reviews. He is so enthusiastic, its awesome. He would chow down on a dog turd in gravy and have something great to say about it. Keep it up, Steve!
if anyone haven't mentioned it already.. If you look at the bottom of the main dish pack there is some marks showing that the bottom can be pulled apart, making the pack stand upright and making stirring a lot easier. It's is really hard to pull apart, so a knife comes in handy. try it next time, just do it before you open the top.. Some years ago 3 of these real mre's where nested and was 3500 calories. The standard store-bought main dish rations are the same price as other freeze dried backpacking food. adventure food, trekneat,mountain horse etc, here in norway that is.
I have also on 3 occasions received an extra protein/snack/meat bar from these rations(newer ones from 2020-2022, so maybe adding extra components is a thing they do to hopefully sometimes boost morale?
am i the only one who watches these to look at the packaging? it's so visually pleasing. also, how neatly steve does it. i rewind if i miss him unboxing something...
I’m having a REAL Reindeer game casserole as I’m typing this. I recently moved houses and found an old ration in a cardboard box. Manufactured in 2015, best before June 2020. Absolutely no problem with taste, smell, texture etc. Tasty👍🏻 I guess ‘old’ is relevant😄 For Steve I imagine 2015 is brand new😃
i've had that exact meal while on duke of edinburgh. bought it at a mountain sports shop in germany. it is a commercially available pre-packaged meal that they've just bought and put in their mre. saves them time and effort to outsource many of the things in them from civilian stores. and yes, it really did taste awesome :D best thing i had with me, other than an instant strawberry cheesecake which i ate dry (it was better that way)
Drytech is the parent company of REAL and was started in 1989 in Norway. The MRE's are composed of both products that they make themselves and outsourced products that are packaged in REAL branded packaging, and some that aren't in REAL branded packaging. REAL, or Drytech more accurately, is the official supplier of MREs to the Norwegian army and have been for 2 decades now I think and they also supply products to 20 other countries. They commercially sell the single freeze-dried meals and their energy bars, the MRE packs that you can sometimes find in stores are surplus quantity and not made to be commercially sold originally, only if surplus exists.
yeah I mean, if someone is supposed to do something really unusual (to be him), if he doesn't do that, you will feel that's not correct. But if he really did, although it is something really weird, you will feel finally everything is correct.
Yeah at resturants if you order food .. it often have a spoon or two with lingonberries at the plate, like meatballs .. often have lingonberries with it, reindeermeat often have it. I don't like it but people here where I live .. pick lingonberries, cloudberries and blueberries alot .. some many kilos each year, and some even pick crowberries and make juice out of it ... I remember my grandmother used to make the best juice from it.
Hey Steve, this ration was shown Simple History video Best MREs: Meals Refusing to Exit? You were also mentioned with your quote I couldn't stop eating it.
Steve1989 MREinfo you can't get coal because Santa's #1 reindeer was eaten by you! haha I guess you could say you spoiled Christmas! awesome video! keep up the good work :)
The idea of santa having a sleigh pulled by reindeer was popularized in the US by a reindeer meat marketing campaign. It's pretty interesting - they brought reindeer herders from Norway to Alaska in a bid to establish a new source of income for poor First Nations communities there.
Mythni Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say, Rudolph you're so fucking lame, you'll end up as dinner on my plate. Then how the reindeer chopped him, as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, you'll go down with some gravy!
+Steve1989 MREinfo wow I am so glad that you read my reply, let alone replied on it.Just wanted to mention that I recently came across your videos and I just love them.I guess You have a "thing" for presenting , along with nice video recording and your crazy will to try 70 year old food made me subscribe immediately and watch all videos within few days. I hope you keep up with the good work and I am looking forward to seeing more of those 60+ year old rations :)
Nicely done sir. I've been a subscriber since I first stumbled (and I do mean stumbled) upon your reviews nearly three months ago. You are informative and entertaining. I wish you well, continued success and above all, Peace.
I got a few boxes of MRE from a friend that works in the army. A few of them had small packs of Louisiana Hot Sauce in them, been trying to find it ever since cause man that sauce was AWESOME.
greetings from finland especially to norwegians. we LOVE real and are extremely jealous about it being your go-to mre. keep making them and hopefully one day we get to eat more of it too
I've never seen someone mix out their coffee with chocolate mix. I'm not even sure if it is meant for it, you mix the powder and hot water. Tastes great.
For those looking to get these, Real dryfreezed food is carried by most stores with an outdoor section here in Norway. The packages are orange compared to the green military editions.
Hey Steve love the videos, I have a small suggestion. Maybe you could get some ginger like the ones served at sushi places to cleanse your palate in between tastes. You'll get the most amount of flavor after each item you eat / drink. it helps to have a clean palate between each sampling. Keep doing what you do man, really enjoy your content.
As a Norwegian, I'm glad you liked our millitary food.
'cooler', da-do, psssssh
As a Finnish I'm glad, that they had chocolate bar that was made in Finland in it. Really didn't expect that.

could be but then wouldn't soldiers catch on? wouldn't they start to expect something extra?
it would spoil the boys, for sure.
It sure gave me a boost out in the field. And it was really common to get some extra snacks like those protein bars or some chili nuts :)
It's a lot more common than you'd expect, but not common enough to be on purpose. The thing is - a lot of times the "extra" you'd get wasn't an extra, it just replaced something else; what's worse is what you got was a lot of times worse than what you should have gotten.

is this a Norwegian MRE review or a Roast on US MREs?
Both!
The former must automatically be the latter.

Exactly what I'm doing...

I think the reason for the high quality food is cause they don't have dozens of millions of troops. (and cause they are one of the richest countries in the world shh)

I'll never understand why we must put food coloring in everything!
Maybe it's to mask the color of the water that you used? That artificial green color would help you forget that you used muddy puddle water.
Perhaps. Would that cover it up?
I mostly meant the USA in general, but that's an interesting point regarding MREs
Food coloring is added to make the food brighter and more appealing to the eye. The food tends to lose color when it's preprocessed and looks generally unappetizing. It's most prevalent in candies and food aimed at children since kids are drawn to bright colors.
Population control
Because some scientist got it in his mind that flavor is second to appearance, and then failed to provide either.

Lingonberry and reindeer... You know although this is quite exotic, I would feel it's weird if Norwegian won't put these in their food...
Lingonberry and Reindeer are very Scandinavian foods so it's probably more ordinary over there.
yeah I mean, if someone is supposed to do something really unusual (to be him), if he doesn't do that, you will feel that's not correct. But if he really did, although it is something really weird, you will feel finally everything is correct.
I don't personally care for the stuff but some like having their reindeer or moose a bit of lingonberry jelly or jam, not unusual around these parts.
Yeah at resturants if you order food .. it often have a spoon or two with lingonberries at the plate, like meatballs .. often have lingonberries with it, reindeermeat often have it.
I don't like it but people here where I live .. pick lingonberries, cloudberries and blueberries alot .. some many kilos each year, and some even pick crowberries and make juice out of it ... I remember my grandmother used to make the best juice from it.

You were also mentioned with your quote I couldn't stop eating it.
The best extra item I've gotten was an extra spoon.
Norway definitely knows how to feed it's troops!
My mouth is watering, I gotta get some of these! Good review!
Why do I keep watching these..... over 1-2 months now lol. Good job buddy.
I just came from watching him eat ancient rations/food. Makes this stuff look gourmet.
Noooo, he ate Rudolph ;(
Steve1989 MREinfo you can't get coal because Santa's #1 reindeer was eaten by you! haha I guess you could say you spoiled Christmas! awesome video! keep up the good work :)
The idea of santa having a sleigh pulled by reindeer was popularized in the US by a reindeer meat marketing campaign. It's pretty interesting - they brought reindeer herders from Norway to Alaska in a bid to establish a new source of income for poor First Nations communities there.
Mythni aye cos he ran over Grandma.
Mythni Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say, Rudolph you're so fucking lame, you'll end up as dinner on my plate. Then how the reindeer chopped him, as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, you'll go down with some gravy!
Lmao!!!
"Look at this piece of reindeer" hahaha lmao
+Steve1989 MREinfo wow I am so glad that you read my reply, let alone replied on it.Just wanted to mention that I recently came across your videos and I just love them.I guess You have a "thing" for presenting , along with nice video recording and your crazy will to try 70 year old food made me subscribe immediately and watch all videos within few days.

I really like this guys voice, and the way he says things.
"mm oh yeah, good quality, thats like heaven" xD
Are you Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid?
→_→ freeze 👉 !😨
Nicely done sir. I've been a subscriber since I first stumbled (and I do mean stumbled) upon your reviews nearly three months ago. You are informative and entertaining. I wish you well, continued success and above all, Peace.
every time he says nice I crack up

I remember my dad always came home with this kinda stuff. By watching this i still remember these food products.
Game caserole: Angry birds friccaśee.
I got a few boxes of MRE from a friend that works in the army.
A few of them had small packs of Louisiana Hot Sauce in them, been trying to find it ever since cause man that sauce was AWESOME.
hey, that's pretty good
+John Doe
nice
Nice, alright
oh wow
This is the most gourmet MRE I've seen on this channel. I really want to try one of these.
You should try the cod and potato stew if it's around any more. During my year in the army I was the only one I knew who liked it. Absolutely amazing.
greetings from finland especially to norwegians. we LOVE real and are extremely jealous about it being your go-to mre. keep making them and hopefully one day we get to eat more of it too
I've never seen someone mix out their coffee with chocolate mix. I'm not even sure if it is meant for it, you mix the powder and hot water. Tastes great.
Paal Aaseng Stubbrud it's known as Mocha in England & it's rather nice.
GothicaBeauty. Aah! So that's what he was talking about. All these new kinds of coffee confuse me. I take it black.
-Like it was intended-
Paal Aaseng Stubbrud yep give it a try :)
GothicaBeauty. I will. Thanks for the tip!
Awesome review as always. I really enjoyed the music during the ending credits by the way. Keep it up man!
5 am in the morning watching ur vids with no sleep... NICE! ;D
Me 200 uhkaay!!!
I feel like Steve writes his own intro/outro music. And I love it.
I think the credits say all music is by him
Anyone else love when he says "let's get this out onto a tray. nice" it's like his trademark besides saying rancid😂😂
Why am I always watching these videos when I'm hungry... great one Steve!!
U know its norwegian when its fuking raindeer.
xD hell yeah
Beware the Swedes
Reindeer
Love the Adjectives and Imagery Steve! Way to go
"all right let's get this out onto a tray...... nice."
For those looking to get these, Real dryfreezed food is carried by most stores with an outdoor section here in Norway.
The packages are orange compared to the green military editions.
Now I'm off to watch some Bob Ross :-)
Steve’s videos are way more relaxing then a Vicodin or liquid demoral
That looks like the tastiest ration pack I've ever seen
Man I love watching this guy. Especially while I'm eating as well
Scandinavian countries always produce the best of everything
Honest Reviewer Everyone thinks the same thing about their own country. They can't all be right... can they?
Eg women
bruh
They really do.
Venison need not be gamey if you hang the deer in your garage at about 4 C for 7 days. WONDERFUL flavour!
I find it interesting how everyone is like "huh, reindeer! So exotic!" And then norwegians are like "mum whats for dinner?" " reindeer"
Ikr
I eat raindeer prob 3 times a week
Hey Steve love the videos, I have a small suggestion. Maybe you could get some ginger like the ones served at sushi places to cleanse your palate in between tastes. You'll get the most amount of flavor after each item you eat / drink. it helps to have a clean palate between each sampling. Keep doing what you do man, really enjoy your content.
