2016 MRE Rib Shaped BBQ Pork Patty Review The Best Meal Ready to Eat No Longer Made Taste Test

  • Опубликовано: 30 май 2021
  • The BBQ Rib Patty MRE was arguably the greatest menu taken out of service in recent years, and was replaced by Chicken Burrito Bowl. This thing typically sells for around $30 these days, and sometimes more than that. With a main course that so closely resembles a McRib, it really gave soldiers a taste of home. In remembrance of the fallen on this day, I felt this menu was perfect to review. Those fallen soldiers are gone, but not forgotten.
    Still in production is my 1957 Ration, Survival, Individual - along with a 2021 Danish 24hr ration, a 1970's Coast Guard Approved Survival Ration, 1945 K Ration Dinner, and a case of 1969 MCIs. June is going to be a great month if all goes as planned. The 1957 RSI ended up becoming a double survival ration review, and some restoration work as well. So stayed tuned for those, and more as I'm in a flurry of new filming projects since the introduction of this new camera. Alright cool, see ya.

    Back when I was in the Army, this was one of my go-to favorite MREs. Any time I got it, I would trade something for the red pepper packet from another Joe, and add that to the BBQ sauce along w/ the pork rib, then make a sammich from it. Alongside the Buffalo Chicken, and the Maple Sausage MREs. Getting one of those, and letters from my family on the same day was like heaven for me.

      a lot of the crap came from sets of MRE that was limited on its variarity meaning in total there mighe be 10 meals but 5 or 7 are so simular to each other it end ups the same.
      like (meal1) meatballs and mashed potato (meal2) ground meat and mashed potato.
      there is a reason why the moment two diffrent nations armies meet out in the field MRE rations are traded.

It taught me a lot of respect for our troops knowing that they would survive off this with no other options.

      YESSSSSS!!!!!
      I have been hoping to see him use the freeze dryer and make another home made MRE. Even if it's not as extravagant as the thanksgiving one. I keep watching that video and it's so good. He also said he had lots of ideas but nothing has come of it yet. Kind of disappointing. Hopefully soon. :)

When he is done. He will be done! There is a Steve Andrew Thomas in his late 40's who died in August 2021 BUT that is NOT the correct Steve! Steve is 32/33 and NOT in his 40's! In fact, in Florida there are MANY Steve Andrew Thomas namesakes !!!! Steve is STILL ALIVE as of October 25, 2021

      The obituary said he was born in 1989.. I heard it was the non absorbent wheat bread that got him.. It caused a bowl blockage that led to a ruptured colon.. The doctor said his last words were "whoa, nice hiss" right as his colon exploded.. I can't believe he's really gone this time.. We need to start a petition or something to get an MRE named after Steve!!

    Hey Steve, been watching your videos for a while now (probably the better half of a decade). I've been recently binging a podcast of my favourite British comedians Bob Mortimer, and he mentioned that you're one of his go-to RUclips channels to watch for enjoyment. Not sure if you heard that already, but just wanted you to know that an old LEGEND of the entertainment industry values your videos as much as the rest of us do, hope this message gets to you well :)
