Eating 33 Year Old US MRE 1984 Ham & Chicken Loaf Vintage MRE Review Meal Ready to Eat Taste Test
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2017
- Check out this perfectly preserved 33 year old MRE! The Meal Ready to Eat was first put into major production in 1981 - this classic 1st generation Meal, Ready to Eat should have been spoiled over a decade ago. It's storage conditions had to be absolutely strict and consistent these last 3 decades. Never thought I would finish an entire MRE from 1984.

I like 1979 meat loaf (Bat out of Hell)
Ahaha that's the one where an Asian dude's narrating right?
wow i watched the same thing yesterday is that how i got here? lol
Ive never seen a person so full of enthusiasm and excitement for eating 33 year old military food and with such a vast knowledge of the history of military food. Even the way he describes the food and the words he uses to describe it. A true military food guru. Impressive. 🖒
Its crazy that its that old and still taste i guess good lol
tambor76 I want a 33 year old mre now
His enthusiasm is blessed
Lol yeah for reals
Im stoked just watching dog.
Hey there Steve. Long time watcher here. I'm a disabled marine who joined in 84 so this episode was special for me.
I had to comment this time because up until about 6 months ago, I routinely bought usgi surplus cases, but for whatever reason all of my sources either jacked the price for an a/b 2 case pak from an average of $75-$100 way up to like $250 now, or they plain stopped carrying them.
The first thing I noticed was no Tabasco bottle. It seemed like they were in everything.
The pears were supposed to be rehydrated in the pouch with your "canteen" water. Never seen them eaten dry. Ever. Hell, we all got a kick out of watching little bits of fruit appear from seemingly dust chunks. Strawberries were the best. It was like magic.
The crackers. Absolutely inedible. They were disgusting and the peanut butter was worse. Especially chunky. Omg. I can taste it now as I type. 🤮😆
All the mains were delicious, the most unpleasant of them being the hot dogs. Just plain and boring and unheated, they really sucked. And we did not ever heat them up at rftd at camp pendleton in boot. Rip it open, wolf it down and off you go. Never even got to drink the coffee.
The other thing we didn't do is shit!! 5 days. When we finally got to the end of the week, we were marched to porta potties and well, to put it lightly, sounded like a platoon of men having babies out of their butts. It was funny and painful at the same time. We all swore it was by design so we'd extract every bloody gram of nutrients that were in the mres.
The new mres were like Hilton food compared to the mess we got back then but as you mentioned, science experiments. 😆
Being homebound disabled, it was a great activity for me to have one every day, even got myself a steel tray to make it easier to eat from my chair. I sure hope that whatever caused the explosion in price, goes away and they return to the $50 per 12 in the case price, soon. I need my mre fix dammit!!! 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for all these videos. Its really great for my day and mental health. Really. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for your service and your input
Not shit for 5 days damn I go 2-3 times a day. It has to be this food lol
that *tiny Tabasco bottle,* several adorned my baby brother's shelves, he loved those
I think steve said he likes to eat the fruit dry
Was so nice if him to reply to you you guys lmao
"Yeah, theres no numbing in my throat, or in my mouth, no swelling, no rancidity. True good mood food."
This man is the doomsday prepper version of Gordon Ramsay. Awesome
"All good things must pass. Hopefully, this will."
When you’re eating food from an animal that lived and died before you were even a thought.
Holy fuck 🤔

Yessss!🙇🏾
As someone who had this menu when it was "fresh" I can tell you it was my favorite. The pears were like gold to me. The ham and chicken loaf was great, kind of tasted like canned tuna.
I enjoyed the Chicken-ala-King. The cheddar cheese and crackers was also, special. I remember the cheese would have to be kneaded because of oil seperation and it was chock full of little grains of sharp tangy flavour.
It was much better with some Tabasco on it.
@@brentengelhart5 I loved the Chicken Ala King...people hated it....the dehydrated Burger (or Pork Chop) were hideous. Prisons would riot if you 'fed' them that. Cheese and crackers were the bomb.
@Duffelbag Drag FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NOOOO!
It looks like tuna to me when he spreads it lol
Steve seems like such a gentle, kind fellow. But its pretty cool when he smacks his coffee, sugar and creamer packets into submission.
Hes the Bob Ross of MREs
I was stunned when he only used one coffee packet with so much water !! Not Steve SOP !
He’s so happy with his 33-year-old mre.
Forreal, dude needs to relax.

When your Veteran Grandpa tells you ‘we’re having leftovers tonight’.
I remember in OCS (1989) during the final patrolling exercises in the woods, some of the Ham & Chicken Loaf had spoiled. We had already been in the woods (New Yorks Hudson River Valley) 5 days with constant rain, freezing nights, and half of the 85 who went into the field had already been medevacked to the rear with upper respiratory problems, broken bones (from slipping on rocks), etc. I was the RTO when a radio call came in instructing our squad not to eat the ham & chicken loaf MRE, it had made a dozen trainees sick and they had to be pulled from the field. That left the final miserable 25 of us out in the rain and the cold, at which point we gathered up all the ham and chicken loaf MREs we had and "ATE THEM". Hoping against hope to exit that miserable field problem via food poisoning. Unfortunately, our MRE(s) were all good and we finished the 9-day field exercise. I used to actually like both the Ham Loaf and the Ham & Chicken loaf. Some of the MRE(s) in the 80(s) had John Wayne Bars. They looked like small lengths of compressed 2 x 2 sections of extruded sawdust wood product. But they were sugary and yummy. Good times!!!!
I also enjoy when my food doesn't numb or swell my mouth or throat. That is what I look for in a food.
Daniel Hertzler 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Heaters even in 1986
too much spicy chips?
My uncles name is Sean Hodgins.
You should probably get checked for allergies...
I like blue, that's a good reason.

I like blue too.
I dislike blue. how dare you.
bitches love blue, and also sticks
Me too
“Look at those ingredients: Nitrates, MSG, not bad”...Love this guy!
I was army infantry in 1981, the dehydrated fruit were great, especially the strawberries!! The chocolate nut cake was the best and the cherry cake was really good too.
He eatin it an describing it like it’s a 5 star meal 😂😂
How the fuck else would you describe the flavor of something that's older than yourself and should have been moldy mush by now?
I think he's being sarcastic...
🤣
What if... It is?
Made in 1984. :)
“No numbing in my throat or in my mouth, no swelling”
Yep that’s definitely a plus!
AcTuAlLy ItS a NeGaTiVe
I had that very same MRE many times..... 30 years ago.....Talk about nostalgia..... he he he.
I tried to avoid the ham/chicken loaf if I could but it was still superior to the beans and wienies. Cold hotdogs covered in preservative goo were hands-down the worst MRE.
No rancidity to your nuts either? Huh?
Steve is easily the most wholesome guy on the internet today. Passion shows in all of his videos and I thoroughly enjoy every second of learning and watching. Let’s put that out on a tray.... nice.
Never thought I’d be watching some guy with a pony tail eating some 33 year old MRE food. Wow.

I'm blue da ba de da ba die sorry it's just a song
Sarincrow I think it’s just unbleached.
It may be blue so that you aren't tempted to use it to surrender to the enemy while taking a dump.
My Dad served in the Guards from the 1970's to the 90's and he is thoroughly enjoying these 80's MRE videos of yours with me haha. He remembers when they switched from C Rations to the new MRE's. He said he remembers this exact meal and loved it. Kinda funny cause he was telling me about how the crackers and peanut butter had a different flavor but were great right when you were explaining why. This was a trip down memory lane for him, and I enjoy seeing (and hearing) about it. Thanks for doing this Steve.
As a first soldier to eat these on active duty from 83 - 86 , may I suggest that you use ice water to rehydrate your fruit.
Strawberrys were my personal favorite, ice was rare, but try it.
I’m just imaging you ordering coffee at a restaurant

Since I got food poisoning twice from C-Rations I was really happy to see MREs come along. Now I keep 2 cases from the commissary at all times just in case of earthquakes.
This is by far my favorite MRE review by you Steve, this whole video right here is what got me into MRE’s
Same
That moment when you eat a chicken that died 33 years ago.
haha
LOL dude, seriously
what about it?!
Actually a lot of people eat 5 or 10 year old frozen chicken. It is just food industry grand secret.
Nairuulagch so ur saying that chicken he ate could possibly be almost 40 years old 🤮

the same way I got here....maybe this guy has just fucked with our algorithms lol
And me too just now! (L.O.L.!)
Same
Lol
This was your first video I found a few years back and it popped up again and as I watched alot of your old and new videos. It's fascinating to see the change of how food was stored for our soldiers and the information you give with each video. Keep it up :D
I love how your videos never really change. I'm watching this 4 years after you made it and it looks just like your recent videos.
I can’t believe he ate the whole thing. Stranger yet....I can’t believe I watched the whole thing!

I’m a fan of the jingles he edits when tapping the spoon after stirring on a lot of his videos. I love these videos
OMG, what a great video to stumble upon. Smiled the entire time and had some good laughs. Transported me back to the first MRE I ever had in Marine Corps boot camp, September - November 1985. What a fantastic presentation. Glad you got to experience a well-preserved one.
You need some 1984 water for that coffee.
Scott Lmaooooo
id bet there is a lot of water layin around that's way older than 1984.
LMFAAOOOO!!!
33 year old lunchable
but more filling haha
But more cooked

Rip x
Lunchable mark 1
Brings back memories , I’ve eaten this exact mre when I was a kid so many times , the freeze dried fruit was always my favorite
I served until 2004 and we had Korean war era t-rations, two MRE's a day and t-rations for our one "hot" meal they were dated from 1953-1970's
Doubtful, since the Unitized Group Ration (t rat or tray rat) wasn't adopted until 1986...
The last thing I ate that was 33 years old made me pick her up at her house and buy her dinner first.
@WhiteRhino - Quote from La Bamba? I actually caught that.

I love this show..you really are so knowledgeable of what's what ,it actually is really awesome to watch .I'm hooked man
i really wanna try some of these vintage MREs, they look so freakin good and the way you describe them is so appealing!
Anyone else feel comforted by these videos when having bouts of anxiety or depression? Theres just something soothing about the atmosphere Steve provides for some reason lol.
Kolby McMullen he's definitely got a gift. It's a nice mix of asmr and relaxing educational content.
Steve is the Bob Ross of MRE's, calming and informative with his own weird sayings.
Coming from someone with bad depression and sever anixity, i can totally confirm he does.
Can actually agree with that haha. Always makes me hungry while watching though..
Yes yes yes you can get lost in it
why did i just watch a man eat old food... idk ... but it was interesting

I joined the NG in '84. I remember eating this one several times. We just ate it cold out of the pouch. I really like your videos, they really take me back.

I was not yet 2, and I can say the same haha
damn you're young. I was 12 years old.
I was - 21 years old
-17 years old here
I was 8. I went in the Army 94-97 and was in Europe. I always thought the Army was probably so cool back in the 80s practicing killing commies and hoping not to get nuked. But maybe that’s from watching Red Dawn and War Games and the like.
i see youtube is finally putting good videos in my recommended

Yippie
Love your videos cant get enough of them
Love the videos! I went into the army in 86 and remember eating this things. This was not the best mre in comparison to the others. Good times. Nice!

I legit see the same comment multiple times..
Whenever I watch these videos (especially the newer MREs), I get hungry even if I had eaten recently. Something about the way he explains it I guess. I've ordered food a few times now while watching these videos 😁
its so cool seeing how each country prepared their MREs over the years it is a taste of odd cuisine and history rolled into one thank you
