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!
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

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 !
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!
Bro I came so close to spending $50 before shipping on a British MRE. But then I was like, You won't spend $2 for extra bacon on a burger but you'll spend $50 on a canned meal?!
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 ❤
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.
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..
I love when you use the stoves Steve. I have been out in the field for my country's military for 2.6 years now and it's always cold. Seeing the food getting heated that way gives me a strange comfortable feeling, almost makes me remember home. Thank you man!!
being without a steve video for a long time is very "thirst provoking" clicked on the video "nice hiss" this is a fresh one, let's get it out on a tray "nice"
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.
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.
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.
ahaha figures the french MRE is basically a picnic in a box . looks soooo good dam. but kinda surprised there wasn't a wedge of Camembert cheese and a couple loose cigs in there too. lol but "ce 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.
6 days till my next paycheck, I have nothing but Ramen Noodles to eat Watches Steve eat this MRE as I heat the Ramen, pour Ramen from pot onto plate and I hear "Nice!" Made my day :)

Glad to see you back, man. I was really worried after seeing you mess with that Chinese mre ration. ration. Please be safe doing these, we worry about you man.
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.
Great video, the consumption of the patte with the main course sizzling in the background is perfect, these videos always make me hungry, great job again Steve!
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.
“Let’s get this out onto a tray….. Nice. Ok”. It’s been a while since I heard that….. I’ve watched you for years, though. You inspired me to get my own french MRE pack off Ebay a few years back. It was as delicious as it looked. However, the tablets stink when lit! Keep ‘em coming, mate.
If you wipe off the lid of the can and flatten it out and put it on the stove under the can it will reduce the burning of the food . my dad taught me that trick.
I wonder if it might be better to break the block into two, like what happened with his, and lean them together, and insert the lit match between. Then when it's lit, nudge them to spread them apart for a little more even cooking. Like, if you were starting a campfire, you wouldn't throw the match on top of the kindling. You'd be throwing several matches, at least.

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.
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.

Every time you take a couple weeks/months hiatus I get concerned an old MRE has finally taken you 🙃🤣 glad to see an upload!
Steve, you're back! I'm so excited for this review.
if I had to choose an MRE pack to eat for a while, I would choose the french they have some pretty sophisticated goodies, fire its easy with that stove that it comes and that pudding looks to be delicious any way good video keep up with those reviews
Glad to see you back, man. I was really worried after seeing you mess with that Chinese mre ration. ration.
Please be safe doing these, we worry about you man.
Steve I hope you live forever
Bambino he’s got enough preservatives in his system, he just might.
Shane K not how it works but I wish
Bambino I’d give him another few centuries at least
He's definitely built up his immune system.
Yeah I would watch zombie Steve, “Alright let’s get this brain out on the tray, nice...”
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
I love watching your videos it’s like another type of asmr
This is the first of these ration videos where my mouth started to water.
Great video, the consumption of the patte with the main course sizzling in the background is perfect, these videos always make me hungry, great job again Steve!
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.
You are making me hungry, Steve. And I just ate dinner!
“Let’s get this out onto a tray….. Nice. Ok”. It’s been a while since I heard that….. I’ve watched you for years, though. You inspired me to get my own french MRE pack off Ebay a few years back. It was as delicious as it looked. However, the tablets stink when lit! Keep ‘em coming, mate.
He should be on the food network....his explanation on the food he ears is spot on
Eats.....oops
Came here for the NICE! Stayed for the awesome history lessons .. And the SPOON MUSIC!
hyperboxing I didn’t heat spoon music :(
No spoon music no nice hiss ether. I hope Steve is ok
@@robertinscoe2379 there was "a nice hiss" when he opened the can

Ive watched so many of your videos and only just now noticed the Frank Zappa tape! Love the vids, all the best from Scotland!
@3:49
The only acceptable time to use the word LIT
Dylan Hagen well said!!!! May we dispose of the useless non grammar millennials at once!
Jose Delira bruh
"Lit" in French means "bed".
I live for Steve's uploads! :D
Excellent review sir.
Even for the good folks just like me who wear dentures, we all too, can consume this entire MRE.
If you wipe off the lid of the can and flatten it out and put it on the stove under the can it will reduce the burning of the food . my dad taught me that trick.
since when did marbled meat and army ration go into the same sentence? oh wait this is French...go France, you do you
Thank you for the cool videos you bring us, Steve.
Always such a treat to see a new upload from Steve
I love all French rations, those puddings are the best.
Needs a whole 3 matches to light a fuel block in perfect windless conditions love it haha!
I wonder if it might be better to break the block into two, like what happened with his, and lean them together, and insert the lit match between. Then when it's lit, nudge them to spread them apart for a little more even cooking.
Like, if you were starting a campfire, you wouldn't throw the match on top of the kindling. You'd be throwing several matches, at least.
Steve, you do special things to ease my anxiety with your videos. Lol. You’re basically the NPR of international ration cuisine.
