Steve has such a gentle voice and attitude about him that these videos could even be classified as unintentional ASMR, but then you actually see him, and the man has arms that could bench press a whole ass car.
Hey everybody, here is a fresh ration to top off the month. I am still working on two very large projects that will be ready in October. (Large Vietnam survival kit and WW2 rations) So stay tuned for that, in the meantime I hope you enjoy this one.
Only Steve can describe dried coconut with such descriptors as the white from a blade of grass. He has a way with describing things unlike anyone I’ve ever watched
@@c4715 british people pronounce it 'bol-o-nase' when it should be pronounced more like 'bol-on-yayse'. He actually pronounced it more authentically than british people
I gotta say... Thank you for actually squeezing every bit out of that bolognese packet! I can't stand it when people waste stuff that way, just a personal pet peeve, like in cooking videos where they don't actually scrape all the ingredients into the bowl and leave big globs behind/don't mix things properly. Also I've noticed in your videos you always eat pretty much everything, rather than just sampling and reviewing, I respect that a ton! You're super astute, knowledgeable and down to Earth. Awesome content, keep doing what you do 😊
Soldier 1:HEY SCOTTIE I NEED BACKUP! Scotty:SORRY JACK! IM DRINKING TEA! Jack:Sorry! *Shouts across the land* HE'S DRINKING TEA! Distant soldiers: *SORRY! CARRY ON!*
Sir: The enemy approaches...what shall we do? We cant fight or our tea will get cold damn you! But Sir: The enemy is forming just outside the tank! Very well lad, lets give them a hammering after tea. Aye Sir tea first (British troops rule)
It's early morning here in India, about time for dawn. Been awake throughout the whole night to study for a test tomorrow, and I get a notification from Steve..... Ahhh, sleep can wait. Let's get this out onto a tray. 😄 Edit : 340 likes... And counting. My God, that went out of hand pretty fast. Thank you to everyone for your well-wishes. P.S. The test went fine. 😄😊
Hey Benit! That is pretty cool - right now in Florida it is 8:09 PM. I wish you the best of luck on your test, I am sure you'll do great after all that studying. And hope you get some good rest later too!
Steve you're a legend, mate. If you're not consulting with the companies putting these things together they're missing out on someone with god-mode level experience. Few people walking this earth have as much passion for their craft as you do for yours. I'm an industrial product and packaging designer so this stuff is really interesting for me. Thanks for doing this!
My guess is so they can't go and sue the company for lack of a label. And some of the MRE's don't always make it to the military. Better safe than sued lol
Louie My uncle told me his favourite thing to do was read the instructions out loud, as he used to do this for me when I was learning to speak. I'd ask him what it said, and listen intently as he read the instructions out loud to me.
You're watching an Ancient Egypt documentary, (your 3rd one this year) someone opens an ancient, stone door... Steve suddenly pops out of the sidebar... NICE HISS!!!! What do you do?
“Nice hiss” and “Lets get it on a tray” now unremovable from my brains hard drive. Gee thanks Steve! 😂 It’s a huge talent to make an MRE so damn entertaining.
I loved the 80s rations with babies heads and old man's cocks.. the Duncans chocolate was lovely.duncans went bust when they lost the military contract. Spangles and rolos. Rolled oats mixed with the hot chocolate drink. Chicken? and ham? Spread on biscuits brown.all washed down with a mug of screech. Happy days.
I realised this is probably the cheapest way to taste the world lol. I mean, ok, it's not the highest quality ingredients, but they look damn delicious. I've had a tough day today, and I'm stressed out. Seeing Steve upload a new video puts a smile on my face :)
fill in the feedback form and you might win a prize. Uk packs have always had their hit and miss elements which is why they usually add tobasco now but we used to carry ketchup or brown sauce to mask a bad meal. the drinks are done so you can swap out with an oppo and have a full pint of your chosen brew. they aren't designed to last forever anymore either, I was regularly issued old packs and often no variety as I was part of a small unit so they used to chuck a pack of ten at you all the same as we didn't have our own quartermaster in recce units so we got some very silly issues like three weeks on the same two menus. now at least they mix them up in the cases like MREs. the worst I've heard of was 4 months on the same menu B.
STEVE, I have been following you for about two years now. Without a doubt, you are undoubtedly the best MRE and survival ration reviewer on the internet. You are a pleasure to watch and listen to. You can also be quite funny, sometimes without intending to. Either way, keep up your tremendously good work. I appreciate it!
Just discovered your videos. I really enjoy watching these Military Rations taste-tests. I like how thorough you are in describing the foods. Very nice videos :D
What keeps me coming back to these is the consistency. All the camera positions, the intros, that non-aggressive lighting and homely background, not too serious, not overly long. Sometimes the audio will pan out and make it sound like you've switched areas. All of it reminds me of why I loved JonTron's early stuff, among other reasons obviously.
I can't believe what I'm hearing on some of those prices. And they're not even old or a wartime issue a lot of times. I bought a couple MREs from the first gulf war in the 90s just to try. Had no idea they'd go up in price.
"Nice, okay!" I like watching your videos! You're honest and have no problem being honest about what your tasting. You're like the Bob Ross of the ration reviews 😊
After watching so many of your videos, I decided to try out an MRE. I got US Menu 13 (Cheese Tortellini in Tomato Sauce). I'm trying out the MRE as I send this message, and i am greatly enjoying every second of this brand new experience. Thank you, Steve, for presenting such fascinating content and for making me interested in trying out MREs.
So, it's 10:30 in the morning, I am watching an old Steve1989 video, and now that the dogs have stopped barking at the mailman, I am now opening up some rations that were delivered. THIS IS SO AWESOME! Feeling the retort pouches, checking out those FRHs (these came with a salt water packet!), and I am getting a little giddy. I want to set something up and record opening up the whole one! Once again, a big thanks to Steve, it was his enthusiasm that got me interested in these.
Tried one of the entrees - was disappointed the heater didn't "blow up" like I see all the others do. Took about 15 minutes to heat the pouch of Noodles With Chicken And Vegetables In Sauce, but it did get it plenty warm. It needed salt, despite this not being a reduced-sodium item, but otherwise, tasted like canned chicken & dumplings. These are from 2012, BTW. I know no one cares, but I am still gonna post it here. The whole MRE I got looks like it is from 2003-04, and came from Texas, so wish me luck on it still being good!
Heh, I miss the days of "cheese posessed" and "screech" in our rations... I, and a lot of guys I served with, really didn't like the change to fruit & nut mixes, or the "raisins & sultana" bags in the ration packs. Truth be told, we used to have a lot of guys that just got rid of those on the spot, I don't even remember anyone touching those.
Screech and Duncan's of Scotland chocolate are sorely missed in my opinion! It's not hard to believe at all that those fruit & nut mixes were routinely tossed. The one with coconut is abysmal.
@@Steve1989MRE I just remembered, I found an old UK ration pack from when I used to be in the Territorial Army (left in 2009). I think you might find it interesting as it'll either have the Duncan's chocolate or the Yorkie "It's not for Civvies" chocolate in. I'll try and get it posted off in the next month or so when I get a chance dude :)
@Daniel Hertzler my little boys dad was in the army, he told me about screech, it's a drink. Apparently it was a bit sour, made you screech when you drunk it.
Omg I read the comments saying he pronounced bologna wrong, but he pronounced it so weirdly I didnt notice he said it until the like, third time he said it. Steve, you're one of a kind xD
I love your videos, I've been stuck in bed all week and your videos are the only thing keeping me from going stir crazy! You're amazing, keep doing what ya do. Thank you.
Steve1989MREInfo Thanks! I totally enjoyed! And, was really happy that my dinner was just ready when you posted-your vids always make me so hungry! Lol. Have a great night!
I like the feedback and prize entry form. Nice touch to aid morale which, frankly, is partially the MRE's purpose. Also, that main course pasta dish looks amazing. I would have been like: "hey, if you're not going to finish that...."
I have worked out why so many people, including myself, love this channel. And considering the content, I am going to make a military comparison. Most modern social media/videos are like a war between different ideologies, it can be totally draining and makes people very cynical. Your channel is like 2 weeks R&R. No politics, no shouting, no conflict. Just a guy who is really enthusiastic about an unusual hobby. To paraphrase your good self Steve, its *nice*.
I loved all the drinks. The pasta looked good to bad it want to tasty. I would loved the biscuits and bar with the coffee n tea best I think! Another great review Steve!
Hey me too Erin! The drinks, caramel cereal bar, and those ginger oat biscuits were awesome. The pasta was not so hot - maybe some salt, pepper, and a dash of hot sauce would help. Thanks for checking this one out!

Hmmm. Smells good. Kinda robust
😂😂😂
Nice hiss
Tastes kinda bland
I love how they feel the need to put a warning label regarding the FRH on a meal issued to people carrying automatic weapons, grenades, etc.
My guess is so they can't go and sue the company for lack of a label. And some of the MRE's don't always make it to the military. Better safe than sued lol
Interesting how many languages they squeeze onto its exterior, as well. Seems like it had a hard time warming up 300 g of pasta, though.

that description of the flavor of the base of grass had me laughing so hard. I love your videos! Very good job at narrating
Steve and his amazing musical spork. Guy’s a legend!
Omg I read the comments saying he pronounced bologna wrong, but he pronounced it so weirdly I didnt notice he said it until the like, third time he said it. Steve, you're one of a kind xD
Dear Steve, you are spoiling us this last couple weeks
He's been great uploading! And he has 2 more of the prototype rations to show us.
Niicccceeeeee
Your videos are one the few I automatically click like before it starts. You are amazing!
I love your videos, I've been stuck in bed all week and your videos are the only thing keeping me from going stir crazy! You're amazing, keep doing what ya do. Thank you.
I hope that you're feeling better now 5 years later 😉 lol
I am crying at your pronounciation of Bolognese...
That was fucking hilarious
Sameee
I trust you're also easily amused by rattling keys and colorful lights?
planescaped yeah who isn’t?
I went back to see how he said it and I’m CRYING 😭
Awesome! Great way to spend a Sunday night. Thanks, Steve!
Hey you're welcome Jen, hope you enjoy this one and your evening as well!
Steve1989MREInfo Thanks! I totally enjoyed! And, was really happy that my dinner was just ready when you posted-your vids always make me so hungry! Lol. Have a great night!
Thank you for your service and keeping us safe! Love the vids to
Please upload more videos! There are so many rations to review! Your videos are amazing!!
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes..
Some call it slums, some call it *_nice_*
Sounds a bit like greenday
I wish papa Steve would spank me like he spanked that 3 in 1 coffee.
same
NIccee
I always find it funny when he adds that extra slap.
Ok Dr Cox!
*slowly backs away
I like the feedback and prize entry form. Nice touch to aid morale which, frankly, is partially the MRE's purpose. Also, that main course pasta dish looks amazing. I would have been like: "hey, if you're not going to finish that...."
"Let's see it sat on a tray" is quickly becoming your tagline :D love it
I feel like any regular day he pulls out a MRE coffee pack and drinks that
Jay Chin Good old Coffee Instant Type 1. (It’s either 1 or 2 that Steve likes, I forget.)
@@north7764 coffee instant, type 2 spray dried
Who else watches the whole ad so Steve can make some money?
i think you only have to watch about 10+ seconds not sure if that rewards a partial amount of money or the same amount as the full watching of the ad.
Actually, clicking ads pays ten times as much. I hate it, but always make a point of clicking for steve once in a while.
Fuck i didnt know thats how it works. I will now, Steve makes good videos he deserves it
I try to remember not to skip!
i should tern off my ad block. i prefer to sponser
Just found you and now im hooked, i cant stop watching you eat .
I enjoy the channel. My son and I have been eating US MRES for camping for years. Now I always say, "lets get it out on a tray..Nice!"
Good to see you dunking your biscuits in your tea like a true Brit would 👍
"It tastes like... Grass. Nice." Subbed for your honesty alone
I have no idea why I like watching these so much.
The way you say “nice” as you begin gets me every time
Nice review of the British Single Meal Ration Steve.
Have you ever tried space rations?????
We will have to wait for the 100th anniversary of the Space Force before that happens.
The Spice must flow
@Regret is my middle name that sounds like it could be a recipe for disaster
I’m curled up in bed and binging some Steve1989 mre reviews.
I have worked out why so many people, including myself, love this channel. And considering the content, I am going to make a military comparison. Most modern social media/videos are like a war between different ideologies, it can be totally draining and makes people very cynical. Your channel is like 2 weeks R&R. No politics, no shouting, no conflict. Just a guy who is really enthusiastic about an unusual hobby. To paraphrase your good self Steve, its *nice*.

Nice!!! Thanks for the upload Steve! Hope all is going well brother!!
Hey you're welcome Josh! Hope you enjoy this one man. And yessir all is good!
Your use of adjectives is spot on, good job sir
My wife and I really enjoy your vids. Good work Thanks
"Pineapple. ... Fair amount of pineapple flavor." LOL
I loved all the drinks. The pasta looked good to bad it want to tasty. I would loved the biscuits and bar with the coffee n tea best I think! Another great review Steve!
Hey me too Erin! The drinks, caramel cereal bar, and those ginger oat biscuits were awesome. The pasta was not so hot - maybe some salt, pepper, and a dash of hot sauce would help. Thanks for checking this one out!
Could have mixed the ginger oat biscuits with the pasta to give it a bit of spice ;)
I have no idea how I found this page but for some odd reason it's the most relaxing videos I have watched....
Kinda like a modern day mre eating Bob Ross
The way you accurately described chewing grass gives me cause for concern!
