Sparing no nutritional value to the food - there are very few empty sugar calories in this MRE. Very wholesome and natural ingredients and recipes.This rare, interesting, and unusual Military Ration was sent in by Curahee off MREinfo - thanks so much, Marek - this really was an awesome experience!

LET'S GET THIS OUT ONTO A TRAY, NICE™
NICE HISS™
I'LL BE COMING BACK AT YOU WITH SOMETHING NEW OR OLD, ALRIGHT COOL SEE YA™

you know what i like about you, steve? you appreciate little things like cool can openers
it really is a cool can opener... i mean... beats the heck out of the ones GI's used to get back in the day
Lee Buckley Seriously! That's a real deal can opener like I'd find in my grandmothers house. I like the old P-38 for its small size. It gets the job done. Also, easy to keep on a dog tag style necklace. But this is a sturdy, overbuilt can opener. I'd like to try one.
Cmon guys, its just a can opener.
@@psychologicallyunstable2499 hahaha
Nice mmkay
"I'd be happy. I'd be super happy. I'm still happy, no matter what."
Your videos beam with positive energy, I love it
17:00
Steve is always happy 😂😂😂😂😂
when you're a millionaire uploading videos once a month, its easy to be happy while filming
Daniel M theres also plenty of millionaires that kill themselves.. how u explain that?
nice
Hi Steve! Slovak guy here. Biggest problem with these PODAPs is no variety, thay are all more or less the same. Every PODAP version has pate, some soup, some rice with meat, some potatoes with meat and same bread and tablet drinks. Soldiers are fed up with these rations in days. We call that bread "polystyrene" :) Sorry for my english and great video as always!
Ján Čarnogurský Uh.. your English is amazing. Probably better then mine. Did I use the right your?
nekocal you did, but not the right "than"
Hi guys, Czech here. From what I've seen, so far only 2 rations had that "křehký plátek" shitty bread - Czech and Slovak LOL. I hate it and it's a shame that we are giving this to our soldiers.
Clarissa Liem In Canada, then...
what do you mean, your sentence read very well. I would even say it read very,,,,,,,, nice!!!!
First, I am from Slovakia and I am surprised just how... Slovak... the whole ration is. The drink tablets? Those can be bought in any shop, exactly the same packaging, the same protective cap, a bit bigger(I guess they are 15 tablet pack in stores). The food that you got was pretty much your regular school/army/socialist factory canteen type of food. The crispbread can also be found in pretty much any shop. I can pretty much go to any shop and buy like 50% of this ration. Its also surprising that our guys are still running around with cans like its 1980s.
Regarding the crispbread ratio. Its because usually, bread is eaten as a side to cabbage and bean soup. So one pack for cabbage, one pack for soup and one pack for liver pate. I mean, you dont have to, but thats my guess of what was the logic of packing 3 packs of bread.
Always love reading the stories from commenters on these vids. Awesome window into life in another country.
Nice!
Can you get those sweet can opener/holder things at a store?
@@Colddirector Yes We can, in other shops with kitchen utensils
@@82dorrin It's one of the most fun parts of these videos!
"I'm still happy...no matter what." For some reason that just stopped me dead in my tracks. Wholesome stuff man.
Remember friends, even if things aren't perfect, they can still be nice.
*Steve picks up a dead snake* "No hiss"
iliveonjupiter I giggled reading this. NICE! Thanks 😅
iliveonjupiter 😂😂😂😂😂😂
iliveonjupiter haha 😂😂😂😂😂 nice!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
iliveonjupiter picks up a live baby snake......"thats a nice little hiss"
These comments are so pure and positive. It's so refreshing.
Kay D. Steve brings out the best in all of us.
Kaylyn Dotson they're quite nice
It's got positive undertones.
Nice!
nice
*Slavic Frodo and Sam*
"What have we got to eat?"
"Well, lovely...Crisp bread. And look! -more crisp bread."
Eh, again Lembas :)
You forgot to mention the crisp bread.
And no second breakfast.
Well... In all honesty? Theres an "ancient" slavic (or at least czech of that I am certain as I am one) tradition of giving guests loaf of bread and salt. Usually to travelers. So it fits quite well. :D
Man, if you played a drinking game where you drank every time Steve said one of his many catchphrases. Well, you'd be feeling really... Nice!
Opens beer "Nice hiss!"
Yeah almost everything is “Savory”. Lol.
@@richardfarabaugh7604 nutty and robust
I want someone to treat me the way Steve treats his MRE's. They are his whole world, and he can accept their mistakes and make do with the worst and enjoy the best.
Find someone who looks at you the way Steve looks at Instant Coffee Type II.
"Let's get you out onto a tray. Nice!"
"It might be simple but still... NICE!"
Imagine him being a cook in the military. Working in a mess tent. For every single soldier all they'll hear is " let's get this on the tray*plop* nice!"
Nice
Nice
Nice
nice
Nice
You are the Bob Ross of MRE videos, I feel so relaxed..
haha !! so good
"Let's get this out onto a canvas....NICE!"
Emshumi I watch these when I get stressed out.
Epic comment is epic.
He allso speaks similar way :D
"Hey man I got a new cat but he's kind of aggressive"
Steve: "....Nice hiss!"
Steve knows every language, can taste vitamin B, and throws a tantrum when there's no hiss.
he is more powerful than any mortal could ever be
Offspring of Chuck Norris?
@@natfoote4967 v
Riboflavin has a very strong odor/flavor as well as dark red color. I hate the smell but some people like it, it's smells like extremely meaty and volatile
Everyone can taste vitamin b
Probably one of the Steve's all time best videos.. interesting unique foods, drinks, got the open flame and stove use, which I love for some reason. Old school style cans. Definitely one of my favorites! Just missing desserts..
Me too. Such positive energy. I am envious of Steves attitude! He just ROCKS!!
A little water in your rice while heating would've taken you a long way.
Was looking for this comment, since I thought the same thing.
Exactly, pretty much every time you reheat rice, water is added.
It would have been
NICE!
I would`ve maybe thrown the can in a hot water bath
Break off a chunk of the tea tablet with the nice can opener and make a broth.
He's still alive! Nice!
Steve1989 MREinfo do you ever think about doing a Mre give away to you 250k subscribers
Keep up the great work Steve, you always get me into a good mood.
If so, please let it be a French 24hr lol
He ate so many preservatives, he'll probably live till he's 150 :D
kool
Steve's channel is a sanctuary or RUclips. He is nice and the community is just as nice
nice
nice!
Check out TheReportOfTheWeek next if you want even more purity.
I have frequent sleeping problems in spring due to allergies, watching steve1989 videos makes these otherwise miserable mornings almost a pleasure.
YOU'RE nice.
"I'm still happy. No matter what." Surprisingly wholesome for an MRE review
You should just be a ration consultant for armies. Like the Gordon Ramsey of rations.
Daxaaar The Bot WHERE IS THE GODDAMN HISS?!
IT'S FUCKING RANCID!!
*nice* finally, some good fucking food
But Steve likes everything
Yeah, our troops would be getting ancient hardtack and entrees that smell questionable but are technically edible.
Man, I am very happy to see this, I am Slovak :) very nice translation of our texts and I am very happy, that you enjoyed our food :)
and yes, that last food is one of our national foods :)
Okay, but what *is* the dish? What is it called? What would I go looking for if I wanted to find this Slovakian dish in another country?
If you want to find our main traditional food in other countries, your best bet would be Czech. But if you want to order it somewhere else just look for potato dumplings with sheep cheese and bacon.
Peter Živčic Salute brother from Romania!
motp holy crap I love sheep cheese
I was screaming throughout the video "add some water to that rice!!!"
As a regular rice-eater, that bit pained me so much.
How??? Unless then Assume you have a canteen cup with you.
Same
comm744 I mean they give u a bag and purification tablets sooo
Yes, every Slovak soldier has a canteen called "esus" with metal cuttlery
Hey Steve, hi from Slovakia! :)
You're right, the cabbage with sausage is a traditional meal.
I love your videos, so relaxing. A NICE way to calm down in the evening :)
Just one remark. I noticed you said "Slavic". Well, there is a difference between Slavic and Slovak. Slavic refers to all Slavic nations (Slovakia, Czech Rep, Russia, Serbia, Croatia, etc, etc.), while Slovak refers to Slovakia only.
Looking forward to more videos!
Oh hey I learned something in a RUclips comment section nice but I wonder why the distinction between the Slavic nations and Slovakia
@@mr.wonderfulwisdomouswonde2991 hi. Well, as I explained above. "Slavic nations" is an entire group of nations. "Slovakia" is one of them. It's a specific country.
We can say "Slovakia is one country in the group of Slavic nations".
It's similar to saying "Texas is one state in the group of American states".
Slovak and Slavic are cognates. Both come from Proto-Slavic word "Slověninъ".
Man idk why your video are so relaxing and the gimmicks like " let get that into a tray" or "nice" make me feel just happy so thank you dude
I thought you were dead
Man i just really love this guy. I always come home after work, grab something to eat and watch him either enjoy a ration, or suffer through unimaginable pain.
Who else says "nice" along with Steve when he says "let's get this out onto a tray, Nice!"
GothicaBeauty. And when he says m Kay nice
do you have a boyfriend?
Nice Mkay
I do. Every time. Lol.
Me😂😂😂
Just so you Steve, this ration and its mains were designed to be thrown into boiling water. They have the same style Mess tins as we British do and the stove is to boil water for the cans to be placed in for 3/4 mins...
in the early 80's we made "Ranger Candy" by combining coffee, sugar, and creamer in to a packet. then we'd let it melt on the exhaust manifold till it became a coffee toffee. my fav meal was the spaghetti mixed with an extra cheese packet and heated.
I gotta try this out of morbid curiosity, sounds horrible yet somewhat okay at the same time lmao
Hands down best of all the videos you’ve uploaded. It had everything- cooking , comedy, drama, interesting drinks. Great video
"it might be simple, but it's still - nice!" Steve is the King of MRE segues!
Lunch: 'too dry to cook, needs liquid' I died when you made drinks while saying that but didn't add a splash of water to the warming food.
crzy1gs I know...that was driving me nuts!
that's the best thing about him, he ate all of them without modify anything. well, u want to judge food, you eat them straight away in their original condition so u can know their qualities. haha
Ikram Mohd Noor If he had water for the drinks, he could have added a bit to the meal to make it easier to heat.
crzy1gs i
I don't know if a coincidence or not but i was checking you for new videos yesterday , soon as I got the alert I dropped everything and start watching you man, I love your videos keep it up man.
ok I think you used the stove wrong, I believe that metal part was meant to sit as a topper for the can it came in to give legs to space between the cooking stove can and the food can so air can get to the fire tabs
actually in Slovakia lunch is the main meal of the day and it consists of a soup and entreé, breakfast are usually just light, bread and paté is just enough :) I'm really happy though that you liked the soup so much, it's one of my favourites! that rice dish however is our take on risotto :D in this case adding a little bit of water wouldn't probably hurt :D
How do you make that soup ? Do you have a recipe ?
Katarína Anďalová Just across Tatras in Poland we do exactly the same . Light breakfast , two course dinner around 2pm and light supper .
PLEASE explain the cold fizzy 'tea.'
Kinda "obviously" same in Czechia for those wondering.
@@redwingrob1036 For real. That’s wild lol.
Loved this MRE! Nice to see MRE's that are still made locally and do not just bought straight from some multi-national supplier.
These MREs got retired and now we buy from multi-national supplier :( Now we have the same MRE as Swedish army. They are good, but they are no longer our local meals, mostly curry, chilli, chinese and thai foods...
Been watching for almost a week now, have seen easily 20 or 25 videos. I love how informative and passionate you are, and I love the little tid bits of gentle humor. My kid loves your reviews as well. We are going to get 3 24hr rations, international, for his birthday and experience the goodness.
I want a t shirt with Steves face on it. With the caption "Nice" 😂
Dante Infernus yaaaaassssss,,,,nice!. Or let's get this out on a tray! Nice! Mkay!!
@@dadannyboyo i was just gonna say that 😂😂😂 damn you 😉
Mmkay
Nice hiss
"Yeah that's LIT" -Steve1989
ComradeGeneralK Fuck yeah...NICE
ComradeGeneralK aaayyyy
L I T
ComradeGeneralK Me: IT'S LIT
NICE! fam
Not only is this an inspiring ration, but I've also noticed over the course of all your videos the quality in editing and post production. You are consistently developing towards a reliable source of historical documentation and entertainment!
Maybe the second course rice based dish was only supposed to have a light seal break to relive pressure. By having the remaining majority lid cover the dish while it heated, moisture would retain enough to hydrate the rice grains?
So impressed with your level of preparation to get the Slovak food names translated!
Steve is fluent in MRE
I liked the cabbage with sausage and potatoes so much from this video that I made it at home. It turned out really good, and I picked up some of those fizzy tablets to go with it and damn it was good. Now if I could figure out how to tin stuff to preserve it, I could totally stock up on these things.
I might be 4 years late, but Mason jars are easier and you can reuse them afterwards! I’ve never done it myself, but I’ve watched videos about it and it seems very straightforward.
@@Sniperboy5551never too late, its nice to get reminded of this video. I actually made this just four days ago! Had some wasa crispbreads and some non-alcoholic beers with it, it was really good. The only thing is it dont last long enough to need to be stored for a long time 😂
DUDE, the whole time i was hoping you would dip the pate/crisp-bread in the greenbean soup
Only reason why I watch RUclips
thank you for putting up such entertaining videos and having such enthusiasm for something that most people try to avoid at all costs.
Steve1989 MREinfo are you fluent in any foreign languages? I've noticed you translate some items and wondered if you knew any other languages 🙂
xBridgetDarlingx fit was wondering about the same thing. It does not seem like he uses google translate when it's Eastern European languages like when other more reviewers donit
LetsNeverPlayAgain Does it matter...
LetsNeverPlayAgain ... I bet you're a blast a parties
Hi Steve ! I'm a Slovakian and I love your videos . It's nice to see a ration from my own country ... keep up the great work 🙌🏻🇸🇰
Can u help me find the same crisp breads that are in the mre?
2:55
The moment you all came here for
"Alright! So let's get this out onto a tray! Nice!"
Steve, you needed to add some water to the rice before warming it.
why do i love these videos so much there is no actual reason i like them i just do.
I always seem to watch these right befor dinner and it makes me starving.
Gabe Hartman I only watch these when I'm eating
HAHAHAHA me too
Me 10 minutes ago:
-I should really go to sleep
"Nice Steve" uploads...
-Fuck sleep
NICE!
*Slavic accent*
Is sparse, but gets job done. Just like Slovak army.
@Glenn K your ma sucks
"cans have more weight, is sign of reliability, if can does not work can always hit him with it"
"Boris you sneaky fucking Russian"
words of wisdom
Steve the type of guy that still watches 80's porn on vcr. Just to get that authentic experience.
While jamming out to his 8 tracks and Records to cover the sounds.
I am working the tracking button.. NICE
Nah. He's the type of guy who watches 70's port on beta.
Well it doesn't matter what he watches it on. "It's definately a two-handed job". NICE!
Ew
*Camera shows Steve's face*
_Nice._
Steve you are awesome! I'm ex-military and it's neat to see how the rest of the worlds soldiers eat in the field. Thank you.
Anyone else watch these videos before going to bed? Puts me to sleep, in a good way of course. It calms me down, so relaxing.
You seem like a really chill dude. It cracks me up how everytime you say "lets get this on a tray" followed by "Nice" . Thats awesome
The cabbage, sausage, pepper, potato dish is a classic eastern European dish. There as many varieties as there are people who eat it. Super easy to make at home if anyone feels inclined.
TigerAnn dumb question maybe but is there a name for this dish?
franta kutáč thanks!! :)
Could substitute “spam” or ham for the sausage in the above dish???
(It can come in cans, and might be made while “on the road.”)
well I have seen almost all of steve1989's MRE reviews really like the videos the guy is funny and informative actually enjoy all his videos no matter how long they are during his reviews time slips away my ol,lady gets pissed at me good job steve1989 be looking forward to seeing more videos.
im convinced Steve knows like 11 languages
Dan Wagner yeah all these MREs are good learning
he says something in one of his videos about a translator so I guess he uses something.
I have thought the same for a while
though he mightve used a translator at one point he's probably like semi fluent now after seeing so many symbols and letters it just grows on ya
lol, in my head he does. But I know he uses Google translate or something.
Does anyone else LOVE it when Steve pulls the end off a can lid near the camera and it makes that loud POP noise?
Hey Steve I am slovak as well 🇸🇰 great video , the last one is really kind of a national dish I personally love it. However i am
pretty disappointed with the lack of chocolate or coffee, we do have some of the best chocolate in the Europe so that’s a shame.
Hell yeah! Steve is back!!!
Steve1989 in a nutshell "NICE" "Not bad!" "Oh not the cheese" "That peanut butter!" "That's smooth" "Let''s check out some of that drink mix" *MRE trivia*
You forgot "let's get this out onto a tray"
Gamedev Jared you forgot "nice hiss"😂
Heeey, subscriber from Slovakia here :)

"It looks like an easy spread. That's always nice."
Lmfao
Amen
Props to the Slovaks! You are great! Love from America.
A can lid in the first can, and a can opener in a can in the last video... It's Tinception.
You should have added water to the rice dish Steve it would have broken up and loosened a little. Thanks for the upload man I love your videos they are weirdly addictive and great way to chill before going to sleep. Although I always end up starving after listening to you being so happy about how everything tastes keep up the fantastic work
turns out its a slovakian risotto that is intentionally dry. something tells me they boil that can with the mess kits they are issued
Two videos in a day? ... Nice! Jokes aside, I love your videos, it's so relaxing after a long day and I love military paraphernalia.
There's something calming about your commentary in the background -- just what you need on the battlefield lolol
Started watching all your videos about 2 weeks ago and now I'm hooked, you seem like a legit good person , and your videos are always uplifting " nice,mkay"
You should have added water to that second main
TheDogeThatCriedWolfy yup
a little bit of water that is what i kept saying to myself.
"hey mom! i just trim my beard like Steve1989. how do i look?" - "NICE"
"Nice hiss"
Your beard must be w h o l e s o m e
“You look like Steve Rogers in Infinity War.”
You are one of my favorite RUclips personalities. Love the videos. Keep them coming.
I sort of made a screeching noise when you didn't add water to the rice
I thought the same. The way it looked- it needed water. Oh well
Screee
you dude your happiness is beautiful there is not so many like people like us who enjoys little things keep it up you inspire me to start collecting or eat mre
with my regards from Turkey
12:06 It might be simple, but it's still.... Nice!
I loled
Funny editing
flatbread's there because in the Eastern parts of Europe and i presume most of the Slav countries you eat almost every meal with bread, soups/broth's, stews/casseroles. Most of the savory dishes.
add water to the rice on the cover it said dehydrate grain
As a regular rice-eater, that bit pained me so much.
Dear Steve, you're the patron saint of military food & MRE rations.. God bless you..
your videos are great. your attitude is infectious. you sir are gold!
He probably has enough water purification tablets to last the rest of his life.
Napoleon the Comedian He should dump them in the sea and we would have clean seas LOL
Nico Stenfors Now i'm really curious as to what a water purification tablet can kill.
if you put enough it will kill anyone. But it tastes like bleach smells. (They are chlorine) so you couldn't get away with it.
NICE!
+Steve1989 MREinfo alright
Hey...that's pretty good!
Steve1989 MREinfo You look like aqua man with shorter hair :D
Steve1989 MREinfo
"Well that is disgusting" (Eats anyway)
Steve1989 MREinfo the best meme in the MRE community "Nice!"
yes!! perfect way to unwind :)
For me too, it is the best way to chill out and enjoy some informative viewing.
Am I the only one who finds these videos seriously relaxing, I can feel my anxieties melting away. Nice!
Steve....never become a coroner...."All right, lets put this on a tray...*THUMP*...Nice!"
john hudson that’s some hilarious stuff bro!🤣
During autopsy, he begins to cut into the body to see the damage; "...no hiss..."
😂😂😂😂
Baahahahaha 😂 😂 😂
@@rafeverao4105 Unless it's bloated for some reason
i was going to say how much that slov cabbage dish reminds me of cajun cooking, and then you said it. We do a version of that with ground meat sausage and cabbage.
Yes you are back!
ProtoMario BUTT PROTO. I SEE STEVE BOY 2
BUT PROTO DO YOU REALLY NEED MREs WHEN YOU HAVE POKEMAN THEORIES
Hey proto :)
How are you on literally every vid I watch!
Steve where on earth have you been? Its been like a month dude!
Yes, please do make such a video Steve! :)
Steve1989 MREinfo great idea... nice!
Steve1989 MREinfo You should. I'd totally watch that!
would love to see anything pertaining to your vids, steve. top ten youtube channel brother keep it up. where are you from man, just curious?
Thanks Steve! Really appreciate all your effort that goes behind these videos.
Always pumped to watch them.
"let's get this out on a tray!" NICE mKay!
Love it
I'm over here on my fourth day of rona recovery and got dang you got me so hungry watching these videos. You make it all sound so good.
These videos are more effective than any ASMR as putting me to sleep.
With a reliablility.
Something gives me a hankering suspicion that Steve used to be Special Ops.
I from slovakia and im happy to see how you try ours mre :) DOBRÁ PRÁCA !! :)
Please let me preface my comment by stating that my opinion is in no way intended to be offensive or insulting. Sir, in the field, I am absolutely certain that the recipient of that meal would have had the common sense to add a little water to make the meal easier to heat and probably add some savor. Thinking that the meal has to be served as you have shown is ridiculous. As a veteran, I tell you from experience that every soldier has some form of mess kit with them and does not solely rely on heat rations or eating from bags or tins. Interesting videos. God bless brother.
Hey Bobby, thank you for your service. This was a funny review, I made many mistakes. Good old days, about 6 or 7 years ago now! I found another Slovak PODAP ration - cost $164. We shall see if it arrives safely - looking forward to re-doing this one and not making those same mistakes. Thank you for your comment, as it's constructive and respectful. Take care & see you around.
Am I the only one impressed by Steve's apparent functional understanding of every language under the sun? Like he can identify food by the labelling nine times out of ten.
Next time you have a dry, dense main like that, add just alittle water before heating it. It will help alot.
This is the Greatest Channel of All Time 🐐 🙏🏼 🏆
Mr.Regular from Regular Guy Car Reviews, Ian from Forgotten Weapons and Steve need to make a video and I'd die a happy man. They are literally the only thing I watch.
My MRE is best MRE.
Which can opener is best can opener?
“My can opener is handle!”
So interesting to see all the different cultures takes on rations. Each one has many similarities and differences. Keep up the amazing content!!!
WATER IN THE RICE!!!!!😫. 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏼💜🇺🇸
So glad you are still happy! “No matter what”. That’s one of the reasons we love you Steve!👍🏼💜
