Steve's back and while we missed him, he did not miss arm day. Kinda disappointing for how little he could eat in a vintage ration. He did fake me out with the scoop of corned beef. I yelled at my screen, "Steve, that's a big scoop Steve. THAT'S A BIG SCOOP."

Had those tins not been bulging at one end or the other, you know that Steve would have given them at least a taste. You don't fuck around with botulism though.

Frankly I think he was still far to careless even when wearing a heavy duty filter mask when opening them and then playing around with them later. Inhaling clostridium botulinum is no fucking joke. That shit will paralyze your lungs and you die, fam.

Yeah. I wouldn't have even opened the fucking can.

He did take a bite out of the oatmeal brick and smoke a cig, though. Good enough for me.

The vomelet review is hilarious because of how he sounds slightly stunned at how horrid it looks.

"That retort pouch just gave birth. So there it is. Look at that thing. What IS that? It smells awful."

That's not even the scariest thing he ever ate, even though it's the oldest.

Nope. Not the oldest by a good measure. He ate hard-tack from the goddamn American Civil War. From EighteenFuckingSixtyThree.
That's gotta be right up there with some of the gutsiest things he's ever done.

He ought to go find a frozen mammoth from the Pleistocene and eat it.

I want a show where Steve goes around the world, eating at military mess halls to find who has the best meals versus who has the worst.

It starts off decently sensible.

Steve starts the first part of the episode with the officers. Let's say for the first episode, we send him to Kaliningrad, Russia. Letting him eat and greet with some Black Fleet Admirals. Get the good stuff. Then we instantly transfer him to some desolate, conscript-dominant hell-scape of a duty station. On the bus there, he gets a ration/MRE to tide him by. Each episode starts with the best, derails into a proper MRE review that makes the bulk of the episode itself and the series' content, then ends with either a fulfillment of how bad the mess hall is or subvert expectations with it being decent.

Give him a mercy episode at the occasional US Air Force base where he gets to come by for the lowest and highest rated foods, as determined by the airmen. Then just say "fuck it", send Steve to singlehandedly unfuck the diplomatic mess between the world and North Korea.

Will Steve bring peace to the heart of the Supreme Leader? Or will he vomit during the Syrup and Tree Bark day? Can Steve survive the Ketchup-Rice JSDF course in time for the South Korean field kitchen special?

100% my autistic ramblings, here. As much as I enjoy his content and how efficient it is, I wouldn't mind a military-food-centric show whatsoever with some wholesome content. Thinking back to when Gordon Ramsay cooked for some Royal Marines and he was just saddened by the state of their diet (honestly, more than standard and passable for military grub). He also had a solid formation run with them and wasn't even last. Good shit.

I'll let you in on a military top sekret

No chow hall food is good. At its very best its edible and it very worst is a crime against humanity.

Don't even get me started on the IMP's I was forced to consume, Steve eats it once as a treat..try eating the same meal for 3 weeks straight because the asshole at supply was in a hurry.

I'll let you in on my own military secret. I was a conscript in the [REDACTED] and honestly, the food wasn't always absolutely horrendous. We basically ate at something that was more like a canteen. I assure you, unless you got sent to the sandbox, the worst of it probably was nothing compared to what some poor kids on Central Asian deployments have to eat.

Then again, my dudes always got to rat fuck the food and a lot of our own were on potato-peeling duty, so we got to eat a little more fresh. Maybe I just have Stockholm syndrome from it all, however. I find myself craving the occasional dining facility refuse.

But did you know the American Air Force base Lackland has custom omelette options in the morning? I doubt for the trainees, but I know Security Forces guys there do not complain about the food at all.

EDIT: Never mind, I see you are from Moldova. I've heard stories about the military food conditions. I hope God has healed you from the horrors.

I'd guess they wouldn't be very interesting anyway. It'd all be stuff like apple sauce and pepperoni sticks. Back then the space food was incredibly bland and basic. Just read Aldrin's book..they lived on paste for their moon trip.

Maybe the modern stuff would be kool but from what I understand its pretty much just MRE's with special packaging.

There was recently a company making cosmonaut food tubes for the public. Just as I got my nerve up and started calculating shipping, the website shut down. There are some listings around on retailers, but it's nearly all out of stock.

They had borscht and rassolnik too. If I can't overpay to eat tube soup, the next best thing would be to watch a friendly YouTube man do it for me.

eta: Never mind, I found cosmonaut pizza on eBay.
