2015 & 1993 South Korea RoK Field Rations MRE Review Meal Ready to Eat Taste Testing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2020
- The RoK produces some of the best rations in the world. In terms of palatability, utility, and overall toughness in the field, they are right up there with the leading countries in pre-packaged shelf stable food. In this review we first check out the new version of their retort pouch field ration, with it's advanced pull string activated FRH and it's own tray. Then we move over to the old freeze dried version, which was built to last. Both are a real food adventure, so have your snacks ready because otherwise you'll likely to get pretty hungry while watching.
Huge thanks to Matt & Elizabeth stationed out in South Korea for making the 2015 one happen. And to John who serves in the Army - he sent me a second one and it made this review much easier in terms of studying and understanding the ration.

Steve: "This thing has a 3 year shelf life."
Or in Steve terms: "It's still going to be perfectly edible in 2220."
I think what made him shaking his hands is since he ate these ww2 german cigarettes and chocolate
3 years to Steve translates to 30 years xD
You laugh but he has eaten 150 year old civil war hardtack

Hi Steve! I am a RoK army Corporal Stationed at South Sudan, Africa as a part of UN mission. We still eat exact same ration you just ate. They never fixed the cardboard tray issue. Probably cuz to lowering down the production coast? But the cardboard tray isn't a big of a problem. Real problem is it gets old really quickly cuz we only have 2or 3 menus unlike US MREs. That is a real problem when we have a long period drill or operation.
Thank you for your service!
I used to watch you guy run in the morning, in the middle of winter with pants, boots, gloves and a tshirt on.🥶🥶
Are you partnered with other countries on your mission? If so, try to trade some rations if you get the chance!

Eating a 27 year old ration: "This is fine dining".
Never change steve you're an international treasure.
I like to think there’s a retired Korean food scientist watching this and soaking up Steve’s praise for his perfect freeze-dried rice recipe.
He's sitting there, grinning. When he finishes the video, he says... Nice.
Nice praise
That food scientist really did a job well done! I hope Steve brought even more peace to that scientist’s life
"Let's see if it's rancid or not."

Glad someone noticed that little nuance
@@Steve1989MRE we notice your godly work
Steve1989MREInfo We are not worthy to be in your presence.... nice.
@@Steve1989MRE One thing I love about your videos is that everything is on purpose.
Bahaha. Dude totally had to go back and see that. I mean i believed you and everything. But i had to do it. Thats a magical spork!
as korean who was a little bit concerned if steve tries it in wrong way and disliked it, he prepared them the way it supposed to be eaten. Top notch, nice!
My man's a legit MRE scientist, talkin about hydrogen vapor and sodium becoming less effective when burned over a mystical unicorn bonfire and shit.

@@theenglishmajor1198 I like to imagine that Steve canonically knows 12 different languages.
I Served in the Republic of Korea Army Military Police, and I discarged last year.
Sometimes I miss the 2015 MRE.
It was the best MRE I've ever had. (SORRY FOR GOOGLE TRANSLATION)
우리는 함께 간다 We go together! Just got out of Korea last year. Hope the civilian life treats you well
South Korean MRE is like a year buffet for North Koreans
Sorry for the translation? That was almost perfect English! The only thing I would say is, "...I *got* discharged last year."
Nah don't be sorry brother. Your English, although touched by translator program, is all good and fine.
I love how although you're using google translate your comment is perfectly legible. It's nice being about to communicate even when we don't all speak the same language.
I wish someone would handle me like Steve handles those packages; careful, tender, intrigued, respectful, excited and grateful.
No one ever tells me my gusset is nice

@@stenwillander5426 "Nice."
I am a current Korean military noncommissioned officer who has eaten both. In my experience, the 1993 type tasted better. Because I want to say that the feeling of chewing the ingredients inside, especially vegetables, was more alive. Of course, 2015 products are also delicious.
Of course, pound cake tastes much better warmed up! Perfect!! :)
The way nations feed their soldiers is always so overlooked, when it's such a key part of gaining insight to understanding in part how the men are treated overall, amenities, morale, funding, combat readiness, etc. It's such a basic thing that many don't pay attention to, like a little vertical slice into military life.
This is why I like these type of videos. btw Check out some of Poland's recent rations, they're amazing
Seasoning pack probably has orange zest, ginger, garlic, soy sauce powder, msg, chili powder, and salt.
Excellent breakdown thank you Trent! Comments like yours help me learn
I couldn't imagine eating this mre.... Im 33 years old and grew up with korean family...went to a korean church but im white as they come lol...just sayin from homemade daily to this i would like to see the difference
Gotta love msg.
@@Noxidsignorantia MSG a harmless food addative to improve taste vilified by half wits looking for 5 minutes of fame
@@yfelwulf I know, it's especially stupid as a natural component of eating fungi is its msg content.
I've had a crazy bad headache for 2 days, slept maybe 5 hours over the last 3 days, and have been mega-stressed about my classes, but that "Nice, nnmkay" really makes my day. :)
Hope you get well soon friend
hope you recover, i regularly get migraines that last as long if not more. make sure you drink water.
@@enzobertozzo1513 Thank you so much!
Classes?
Ice you head neck and face and take 2 aspirin.
I served in the RoK Army for 26 months from July 1995 (mandatory service), so most probably I had the same ration produced in 1993 during field trainings. Glad to see that Steve now shares the same (hopefully) experience with me and my fellow soldiers from back then. It really has nostalgic value for me. Long gone are the days we were young. Thank you Steve for the video. I really enjoyed it.
I served from 2002-06. I am a US Marine.
I went to Iraq 3 times.
Some of the MREs I ate would have Skittles or M&Ms candy in them that were advertising for the Olympic Games.....in Barcelona.......in 1988.
We were "encouraged" to eat only the main meal pouches.
Good thing was is that we could eat as many as we wanted. We had so many boxes of MREs that we could use them as sandbags or shielding from IEDs in transport vehicles.
A box of MREs makes a nice field expedient seat.
This abundance gave birth to the practice and term called "rat fucking".
For instance I would take a case of MREs and open the ones I wanted to make different larger meals and get the better accessories.
Take the spaghetti and mix it with chicken cavatelli, jalapeno cheese. Take chicken noodle stew and mix it with chicken vegetable tetrazzini and crushed crackers with tabasco over rice.
You could just take all the case A menu number 9s you wanted and eat a pile of beef stew.
That one was my favorite.
I’m consistently amazed by how Steve is fluent in every language that’s on an mre
Steve is capable of adopting every language on Earth if and only if the language is printed on an MRE package
With a bit of luck, aliens also use MREs
10:30 Steve is literally the Shakespeare if our time
One Day, we will
Have a tray
In a tray, in

Just in time for me to finish making my own supper, meals with Steve are always a good time.
Perfect timing Trent! Right on man
I thought I was the only one who has meals with Steve. Lol
@@doomguy6866 I'll watch Steve as my meals are cooking, i'll eat my meals with Steve, sometimes I'll even watch Steve as my meal settles in my stomach, and on most occasions; Steve just makes me hungry.
@@doomguy6866 I usually end up having to cook something once I start watching his videos lol I just can't resist. Sometimes I'll eyeball my MREs but I get to figuring I should save them for winter survival kits for my vehicles in case I go off the road and get stranded for a few days haha
Hah, just had a meal with him. Those ROK MREs look taaaasty!
I like so many aspects of the ROK MRE. The ease of use, the fact that everything you need to eat is right there in the pack, without much to unpack. Definitely a practical food system for frontline combat troops who just need a fast, wholesome meal that can be prepared in a foxhole, by one in a calm moment, or by two while trading busywork with the enemy.
I had the same 1993 MRE in 2003 when I was serving Korean army, I believe it still produces. We have 2 types of MREs
Immediate eating ones and freeze-drying Bibimbaps, just like MREs that Steve ate on this video. Each types have 3 menues. The only difference is the freeze one included tofu, egg or bean paste soup. Korean army does not paying much money for that. Because they are not gonna send their troops off shore and they have very limitted warzone. So if war starts again with NK and all their troops are go into field, they make filed kitchens on specific locations with its troops field camp by operation plan 5027 and supply hot meals for their soldiers.
Oh, it is questionable whether the Korean Army, where I am currently serving, will properly implement the field cooking that I pointed out during the war. Personally, I am a Company Supply Officer. Field catering vehicle? They still don't replace the old stuff from the early 90's. I have requested replacement 3 times. When I was first assigned to the position, I was bewildered because there was no data related to the plan to supply drinking water for one company in case of an operational situation. So I remember it was very difficult to make a new plan. Not all Korean military units are like this, but from my experience, I'm worried about whether the supply of drinking water will be properly implemented right away rather than food or ammunition if a war breaks out.
"Tray in a tray. One day, we'll have a tray... In a tray... In a tray. Anyway..."
This man is a lyrical genius!
Steve, you have the most amazing knowledge of rations I have ever heard. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and collection with all of us. I've been showing my 9 year old son all your videos and showing him this is what our heroes eat. He really loved seeing what his great grandfather ate in ww2. Wishing you all the best. Cheers from Arizona.🍻👍🇺🇲🇺🇲😎
Right on man thank you for passing that along. Wishing you and your family the best from Sunny Florida! Alright cool see ya
Me: What's for dinner?
Him: *Oh just some rations from the 1400s* ✅🙂
Wasnt expecting to see you here, friendo
he got 24 hour ones to so it's more like

him: same thing
me: u-uh di-
him: you already know chief
"My lord, let us bestow this upon a trencher."
"Indeed!"
My anxiety and depression cowers under my bed when Steve's video is uploaded and when he says the magic word; Nice.
Thanks Steve, your the Bob Ross of MRE'S.
I still like the freeze-dried rations overall. I just love the way they preserve the flavour and last almost indefinitely.
For food enjoyment, you are on the money Karl! But for war, retort is almost always more useful.
@@Steve1989MRE You're right, eating freeze-dried without water and heating is not an option.
@@Steve1989MRE Yeah, clean water isn't always easy to come by, so it is best used for hydrating yourself instead of the food.
I used to do a lot of back-packing when I lived in Colorado and I preferred freeze-dried for weight and quality. I didn't go camping for around ten years and when I dug out my gear to go on a trip I found 19 freeze-dried meals that were about 8 years out of date. I discarded on (damaged packaging) and ate the remaining 18, they were fine.
@@Steve1989MRE what about freeze dried in a retort pouch?

Steve is a good dude and leads by example. That's all that's required for most people to behave and not act a fool. For the person running the show to set a good example.

Memes aside, I just want to say thank you, Steve. There's something calming about your vids.
Thanks so much Escapist
I like how basically everything in the first ration synergizes really well, instead of just a bunch of different spread-out components
Steve, once again, on point with those subtle narrative edits. They contribute to the quality of the whole video.
Nah nah nah bruh You gotta tear the end of the cake too so it gets that steam in there and makes the bread moist. That's what the Koreans taught us. V3/2 India Co

@@echodelta2172 Don't be so quick to judge. As someone who has eaten both Korean and US school lunches for a few years each, I'd give the edge to US school lunches. Korean school lunches are somewhat dull and definitely lacking in variety.

Looks like one of the tastier MRE's Steve. 27 years old and still in great condition, brilliant
I'm so happy I accidentally found this channel! You learn something everyday here! Thank you Steve!
There is something very comforting in seeing Steve enjoying his MREs and giving his precisely formulated culinary assessments. There is some form of order to this world after all. Nice.
Very nice, I'm watching this at 1:30 in the morning and its just about what I need before going to bed, it really relaxes me
1:30am, Me too! But I just feel really hungry now....!

Same here, it's just like ASMR :)
Need to stop watching these videos late at night. I'll only end up raiding the fridge afterwards!!
Enjoy the seak and destroy mission. Take no prisoners.
I like everything you do on this channel, Steve. That being said, the comparison video is premium! Thanks for all you do!
I always feel like I learn new things everytime I watch. Makes me enjoy the videos even more!
"nice gusset"... there is always a silver lining
My favorite are the ones with the vintage cigs and coffee
When Steve reviews quality rations, I get insane cravings for similar food. Thanks to him I have now tried French pork pate (it was delightful), kissel (it is delicious), mackerel in olive oil (surprisingly good), freeze dried fruit (why did they stop making this!?) and a few others. Now I just want to hit up my local Korean place for fried rice and kimchee. Again lol. Keep up the great work, Steve!

안녕하세요. 평소에 동영상 잘보고 있습니다.
저는 2000년에서 2002년에 대한민국에서 군대생활 했습니다. 군생활 동안에 훈련 하면서 두번째 음식을 몇번 먹었던 기억이 있습니다.
배고플때 먹으면 생각보다 먹을만합니다. 솔직히 힘든 상황에서 어떤 것을 먹어도 맛있지 않을까 생각합니다.
대한민국 군용음식을 리뷰해줘서 20년전 예전 생각도 나고 많이 고맙습니다.
앞으로 대한민국 군용 음식 자주 리뷰해주시길 바랍니다. 감사합니다.
Hello. I usually watch the video well.
I served in the military in Korea from 2000 to 2002. I remember eating the second food several times while training during my military life.
If you eat it when you are hungry, it is more edible than you think. Honestly, I think it would be delicious to eat anything in a difficult situation.
Thank you very much for reviewing Korean military food and thinking about the past 20 years ago.
I hope that you will frequently review Korean military food in the future. Thank you.
Perfect vid for my stay at home holiday.
Right on JM! Glad ya liked it
Saw Steve uploaded two new videos, immediatly yelled at my buddy that new reviews were uploaded. proceded to enjoy these videos together
Nice!
For the older type 2 mre, you brought up a good point. During the winter, when we had those in training, sometimes it would get cold or even freeze if left unattended, so we would put it in our clothing or put bunch of it together and wrap it up with something so that it can cook (rehydrate) and stay warm.
Also, we used to put spam, ham, cheese, or whatever else we had in it to make it taste better
Perfect channel for MRE reviews.. followed this channel for a long time! great work Steve!
Steve I've been watching your content for so long now, and I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the hard work you put into making these videos and educating us on the history of MRE's

fr, I was already gasping and then saw the second notification
I agree I love when aromas or flavors take you somewhere! Both rations looked great. Nice job!
I was not expecting Steve to be on trending but here we are 🤷🏽♂️
Freeze-dried is the only way to go in rations. It's usually a larger portioned particularly the LRRPs ration.
But without ample water, things can get tricky! For flavor, they are unrivaled though and the reduced cubage in the pack is a nice perk too
Takes too much water
I was born in 1993 S.Korea. That ration is a month younger than me. 😂
Always informative, never disappoint. Great video Steve.
Hey: Thanks Steve. Loved the educational component re: difference between freeze dried vs retort with FRH. Cheers :D
Always an enjoyable experience Steve! Got me into rations the second I started watching you.
Hey Steve, i would love to see a sort of archive video where you show off a bunch of cool stuff you have saved from other rations,( ie. All the stuff on your shelf)
You know these are great rations when Steve can eat both back to back and still love them.
Thank you for the great video. I had fun watching it. So many memories.
Did Steve just double trayed in this episode? The madman
전역전에 한번 먹어볼 기회가 있었는데 예전 전투식량보단 먹을만 했습니다.
초코볼은 파운드 케이크에 발라먹는게 룰이였습니다.
쌀 이외에 세가지의 반찬이 있는건 골라먹을수 있기 때문입니다.
셋 다 섞으면 매우 짭니다.

Absolutely love the slogan “Passion For The Ration”! Thanks for the amazing content and please keep doin what your doin. Stay healthy sir.
Always enjoy hearing you explain every detail of these rations 😁.. Oh and also trayception
He's back with something new AND old. Nice!
South Korea makes high quality goods. The weight to calorie ratio of the newer one is a bit heavy but probably has loads of protein, with all the meat products. It appears that it doesn't need to be as calorie dense as a US mre, because the soldier will eat all of it. American MREs need to be calorie dense because unless you get one of the really good ones, your probably not going to eat everything. I know a lot of guys would bust into a few and make a MRE 'repack' of the best stuff to eat with the best parts of a standard mre. This was especially true when you knew you were going to be out for a couple of days.
Great video and Take Care, John
I served 3 years at ROK army until 1992 and the 2nd one Steve tried was my favorite. I still remember the taste and the smell. Thanks for bringing my old memories. You just added one more subscriber now. 👍👍👍
