Nobody knows how they started watching these videos but all are glad they stayed
Yup I watch them all now
i do
Makes me crave MRE ironically
I swear I started with the 80s south African 24 hour and been watching since!😂
huh... how DID i start watching these???
"Oh yeah. That's lit."

Steve, I play your videos for my residents. I work at a senior home. A large percentage of the seniors are vets or wives of veterans. We all find what you do very interesting. It hits close to home for a lot of them. Thank you for continuing to make people smile. Much love from Pennsylvania.
Finally! Another Pennsylvanian ! Let’s go eagles!
Fun Fact: Cassoulet is the unofficial dish of the French Foreign Legion. They have a retired veterans facility and museum of the FFL in the south of France (Aubagne) where they make wine and jars of Cassoulet which you can buy. Tasty as hell and it supports veterans!
Also nice that veterans who can't adapt back have a place
I now have to go to southern france...
@@murphy7801 As an American who loves our military; i love that
Then facility is on Puyloubier
That is because the “home” of cassoulet is Castlenaudary, which is also the home of the Legion’s training regiment, the 4th RE.
I literally gasped when I saw new content. Thank you Steve
I literally gasped when I saw this comment. Thank you Grewyn7

Nice!
PurpleZebra let’s get that out onto a tray!
I literally have no idea how I got interested in these videos.
Lol same!
Welcome.
It's really calming to say the least. My anxiety in non existent while watching!
Things I never thought I'd say.... "I simply refuse to watch any of the other MRE videos from any source other than SteveMRE".
Same, ive no interest in anything army related but i do enjoy these videos very much 😁😁
Please note the small detail on the box of matches: It shows the arc de triumphe. So the soldier knows what to fight for. What a nice touch!
I noticed that! Very cool and great landmark.
The other side shows the Eiffel Tower.
@@pierreghazarian6087 Very cool detail, I missed that!
Merci 👍😉
Everybody in replies
R/wooooosh
i love how it's written "RESELLING PROHIBITED" on the front, merde!
They're onto us!
The vanilla “pudding” is literally something you can by in a classic French supermarket, I didn’t know it was also given to soldiers! I currently have some of them in my fridge haha
the paté and cassoulet too, the cassoulet is packaged differently though.
The biscuits are harder to find, probably possible through mail order.
If you go in some civilian "déstockage" market, you will find A LOT of these components of MRE.
haha nice
It's just custard, no?
These "pudding" comes as a dessert in almost every Polish Squad Rations, quite tasty, especially caramel one
Glad to see you survived that last bout of botulism, Steve.
B2D 327 is that legit, and why he hasn’t been uploading lately? Damn, he really needs to be careful
Hospital staff after seeing Steve for the 100th time: ah shit, here we go again.
Is it possible to develop some kind of resistance to it?
@@fitrianhidayat he would be invincible to all damage by now if that was the casw
@@NOTDeezy. ah here, shit again.
These "Jelly bars" are really popular in France,we call them "pâtes de fruits" = "fruits paste" they are arround most of the time but especially at Christmas where you can find medium boxes of these,with all kinds of flavors, strawberry,orange,pear,apple,lemon etc,nothing else but good fruits and sugar. My childhood in a nutshell !
A noel ont en avais a la cantine.. ont vieillis !
That sounds lovely

i would add that it s not juice and jelly in the pate de fruit but real whole fruit puree reduced
@@dther6314 Les pates de fruits ouais, mais le Mont Blanc bof. C’est quoi?
Of course the french eat well even in the trenches.
I guess they need something to do before they raise the white flag.. 😁✌
Their standard for passable food is much higher than us Americans'. It's a blessing and a curse, right?
Lobster Johnson what’s the blessing part?
And the Italian MREs come with wine

it's exactly same products & brand that french people eat at home. I have Mont Blanc vanilla cream in my fridge.
all these brands are made in France though...

c'est la vie ;)
I'm quite surprised too, I always received a piece Camembert Président at the cafeteria, from kindergarten to university. You just can't escape from these.
I guess they're too messy to store in a MRE box though. It melts.

@@inalatumarianna5510 1 week ? Or two ? It gets wild quite fast. Some people actually prefer it that way though
@@timbermicka wow, that's actually pretty fast. But true though, people tend to eat like that all the time

yeah that's memories right there
Mont blanc au chocolate avec de la Chantilly.... Paradis pour les papilles quand tu as 10 ans....... ou 30.
We eat it a lot in the Netherlands as well. Comes in 1L cartons and is called ‘vla’
@@imraff Yeah mon frère. Tape m'en 5!
It's custard isn't it?
The UN recently held a ration swap meet between military attaches from each member state. It was a momentous development in the cultivation of mutual understanding of other countries' cuisines. I did a taste test and found that French rations were generally the best. The Italians' weren't bad, either. And the Japanese stuff was much better than I expected. it must be nice to live in a country that knows how to cook. Those French rations... Delicieux!
Good ol MGS4.
Was it some of the best food you ever tasted?
My wife is french, and since 2 yrs i've moved here. I can say that the food is just at another level and the beer, just perfect. Try some food from the North or Alsace-Lorraine, and you will enjoy every second of your life.Or how we say in Romania: the best legume is the pork.
My 11 year old and I love your reviews. He has been quoting your, let's get this out on a tray... nice.
He has even asked if we can get some MREs to try out.
Keep up the great reviews
Cool... all right!

I was in the U.S. Army from 1989 to 2010. I feel ripped off. The MRE's in Desert Storm were food but just barely.
Tbf France has a lot less soldier to feed so they prolly can offered to give em duck and other expensive shit
@@heatea5255 Those aren't particularly expensive in France. Just basic industrial canned food.

France values culinary excellence, it is part of their cultural fabric.

The recipe with beans and saussage is from Toulouse, a city in the south of France. A traditional recipe from there.
Lol he said "it's probably Toulouse sausage" in the video
@@johnr797 Yes, just a precision, it is and they have a good reputation of quality sausage in France.
A good combatant is a combatant that eats well ! My father that made his service in french alp troops, 27eme Bataillon de Chasseurs Alpins, had super rations with local products, including super-rich food. You burn a lot of calories at this altitude and with all the effort made just by climbing it... You need some rich melted cheese, cream mont blanc (like the one on the video, its a cream with vanilla taste, exists at your local supermarket...).
Everything is thought to make you efficient during tough situations.
I always take French MREs camping. They're the best.
Where do you buy them?

Steve. I have a confession. I used to watch your videos and they really did help me. And i kinda fell off and stopped watching for a while. But this came across my feed and my heart skipped a beat. Sorry to say i forgot about you but i never clicked so fast. And listening to you voice and hearing you say "let get this out onto a tray, nice, mkay" reminded me of a simplier. Happier time. Thank you steve
~your friend, memelee ❤
Omg..Same feeling. But, you put it all in better words than I could come up with. Thank you :)
I always imagine these MREs being prepared by someone at night under a tree in the rain, wearing a poncho with a green tarp for shelter.
and sometimes we ate it cold, no fire allowed….
@@crazyjackfr You a french soldier?
Or just in a bad hotel room or hostel
@@crazyjackfr Cold, with only 2 minutes to eat before getting back in action 👌 Miss those days
Steve, I need my dose of cup taps. That jump cut hurt my soul.
The original OG MRE guru Steve1989 good to see you back!
Nice
Let's put this on a tray.
The original original gangster? Ok...
yeah unlike that certain other guy who does it passionately.
steve and reviewbrah are the patron saints of reviewtube
I would count styxhexenhammer666 among them as well, even though his mre reviews are infrequent.
Russ Mallek its their exquisite use of language and a love for unloved food.
Steve is Reviewbrah after the Super-Soldier Serum takes effect.
I watch your videos when I'm feeling depressed or stressed out and they calm me down. I don't know why.
It's his voice. He has a very calming voice. I listen for my blood pressure
Of all the rations you go through, I really love the European rations (and some of the middle eastern/ Asian ones too), they just all seem to have cool and unique items that are regionally distinct and actually look delicious. Especially when compared with the American rations that are usually loaded with gas station food.
So many great ideas! I am always looking for cool new things for my own emergency rations
I think part of that is because somewhere along the line some officer looked at what privates were eating when they weren't at the DFAC and saw all the gas station food they were eating and went "Oh, okay, so this garbage, got it...as long as they eat it...."
I do notice that the Anglo countries like more sweets in their rations. I suppose a long term effect of the Victorian love of sweets spreading out across the old empire. The French MRE is top of my list, in quality and variety. I also like various eastern european ones as well. Oddly, I like the compressed cereal bars from chinese MREs too.
Well, this definitly looks like French gas station food to be honest.
@@Dragongaze13 Definitely
The vanilla pudding is a mont blanc dessert. It's an old brand, widely available in France and still popular to this day.

When I was growing up in the early 90's, the montblanc cream was a really common dessert at home and school canteens it was either vanilla or chocolate. The two main brands were Danette and Montblanc. I guess for people growing up in the 80's and 90's it can be considered as what you call confort food. The same thing can be said for the fruits jelly bars often served as afternoon snack in after school care.
On se lève tous pour Danette

"this is really up there when it comes to ration pate"
Oh Steve uploaded! Time to get this video out into a tray.
N I C E
M'kay!
I love your narration style, and the choice of descriptive words. Watching what should be a mundane and rather boring review always turns into this mouth watering adventure into utilitarian cuisines... locking us into it's entirety, and leaving us oddly satitisfied, as if we have actually eaten one of these meals right along with you..
Also, if the char on the tin isn't too black, you can add some water to it while the fuel tab is lit and you can de-glaze it with the water and a flat piece of wood (don't use metal or plastic). Once de-glazed, you can add it back to the main (stir it in) for another boost of flavor.
Made the mistake of watching 1 video late at night. Now I've been here days and know way too much about military rations. Your delivery and video layout is pretty much perfect. Pretty cool content.
I like how he has such a strong fan base and he does not change his content. He remains consistent and filled with quality. Nice.

In Scotland we would call that vanilla dessert, ‘custard’. Thanks for your vids. :)
@pablo just pablo Doesn't really have anything to do with our education system, kind of just cultural preference. But yeah, go off dumbass
I was pretty much taught that if it is thickened with egg, it's a custard and if it is thickened with starch, it's a pudding. Probably an American thing.
@pablo just pablo where'd you get any of that info from?
@pablo just pablo i gotta know where you got any of that info from, and what it has to do with education
@pablo just pablo That's... not even 1/3 accurate.
Me: Oh cool a can of gray gelatinous meat stuff... yum?
Steve: Oh my look at that marbling, it’s so gourmet.
Try the grey stuff, it’s delicious
The gelatin is just colagen from some bones, the worst thing that can do to you is making your skin smoother.
Paté is not very appetizing as is but if you put it on bread it's delicious. Kind of like a cheap version of foie gras.
It's just how it's supposed to be and it's good. In France we eat it like that : baguette and paté or terrine and red wine, you can't have anything better than that, you can add some good french cheese if you want too.
Necramonium
Nice!
- Did you enjoy your paté at lunch?
- The marbling was incredible.
STEVE FUCKING RULES. This youtube channel and the simple love a man can have for military rations gives me hope for humanity.
After a slightly bummer of a day, this makes up for up it in spades. Thanks Steve!
