Steve1989MREInfo / Steve1989 / Steve Thomas - that guy that eats old MREs

[PeggieBigCock]

In the sense that "he doesn't?" Poor Jon was so upset when everyone started accusing him of a Trump joke. The closest I've seen Steve get to edgy humor, other than discussing toilet paper, was that "they went full retort" joke recently.

Anyway, in these divided times, at least we can all be glad that Steve's grown his beard back.

I love both channels but they are intelligent men, they know exactly what they are doing. The Orange Man seems like a good cocktail.

2021 Ukrainian 24 Hour Field Ration Review Pork Tushonka & Kasha MRE Meal Ready to Eat Tasting Test​

Damn, you beat me to it! I had been watching a fairly long video so didn't see this come up in my feed until now. I am guessing this ration was chosen in solidarity with the Ukraine being invaded by Russia. Good call, Steve. Now to watch.

I haven't been more uncomfortable watching a youtube vid than watching Steve review without a beard. It was like being in a lucid dream where something feels drastically wrong but you can never put your finger on it.

I liked the moment where he apologized for being "lost in the flavor."

2021 Ukrainian 24 Hour Field Ration Review Pork Tushonka & Kasha MRE Meal Ready to Eat Tasting Test​

Literally the greatest MRE I have ever witnessed. Grace and elegant simplicity, embodied in a ration.

Compare this to the Russian 'cat food MRE'. 6 tins of what was described as 'cat food that your cat wouldn't eat'. Plus crackers and a candle (for 'cooking')
So the country with the best rations gets dicked the hardest?

Spoiler: is anyone elese disappointed?

I wanted 3 meals of Chicken Kiev

Steve is missing out on selling "NICE GUSSET!" panties.

 

[Orange Rhymer]

I really hope SOMEONE gets to eat the Ukranian rations.
Hell, hand them out to the Russians.
Peace starts with a happy belly.

Yay!

The Passover-ready ration was interesting; they probably have everything categorized well enough to be able to take a modular approach to meeting time-sensitive religious requirements. Always kinda weird.

I was hoping he'd turn out the lights and eat some of his meal by the flaming can of tuna.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

The cans, the cans... From personal experience the corn and beans are pretty good. The cacao spread isn't too good since it lacks milk. Not a fan of tuna and halva. I'm also impressed Steve went the extra mile to get real matza rather than the bullshit artisan shit you'd usually find in stores. Matza itself is not terrible as a kind of cracker with some spread on it.

Not really, nothing in the box contains bread anyways and there's no milk or meat (tuna doesn't count anyways) that's not allowed to mix up. I can't think of anything else that's not related to some overly specific sect. At best some of the stuff like the pineapples is seasonal so it might change depending on the manufacturing date.
Also in the end of the day if you have an actual crisis then all the extraneous religious laws fly out the window.

Not Jewish, but I had thought that packaged/processed food faces a more stringent Kosher certification for that Passover -P on the label, because now it needs to be super unadulterated and it also can't have any tiny amount of theoretically-fermentable grain fall into the vat at the factory.

So probably these cans are also found mixed in the squad rations the rest of the year, but this combination was what was fit for the Passover crate. "And if it's not Passover then add some bread lol."

Also in the end of the day if you have an actual crisis then all the extraneous religious laws fly out the window.

Having a "hey, try not to die" clause in your religious guidelines is definitely a good idea.

That 2016 IDF ration video was fucking hilarious. He's setting cans of tuna on fire, trying to crush peanuts in a plastic bag using a rolling pin... as he said himself, 'I don't know what I'm doing.'

I wouldn't expect milk in ANY military ration, I think the one from Honduras was the only one I've seen with milk, and that was gamma-stabilized milk too if I am not mistaken. Milk does NOT last long, not even in powdered form. For the observant Jews, I would expect it even less.

I LOVE Halvah though. One of the few middle eastern treats I really enjoy. I think i prefer the plain version over chocolate halvah, but both are tasty.

I wonder what Israeli beans and tomato sauce taste like? I bet closer to British/Canadian style then American style.

Something else just dropped:

Something from here in the Great White North, by way of China, eh?

 

[Orange Rhymer]

Good video. Armored units do a bit of 'field cooking' , so the video isn't completely unbelievable.
However, during an engagement- no one would have time for this.

3/10: Impractical ration, poor presentation, gross food items. Cheap utensils. I spoiled item.
Frosting for breakfast. Yum.
Only the Russian MRE is as gross or awkward. I would rather eat the Russian MRE - but I like savory spreads.

God I used to love Coffee Crisp bars. My dad imported several boxes when I was a kid, and I used to eat them after dinner.
The main looked okay, but the cherries are a bizarre choice to add to the IMP.

Steve was just going ham on that Israeli MRE. Also, I have never seen a military consumable that reminds the soldier of how much it costs. Way to play into stereotypes, Israel.

Condensed milk is pretty shelf-stable. I don't think you'd see it last as long as some of the ancient food he's eaten on the show, but it should generally be good for a few years.

Boiling a sealed can of sweetened condensed milk (Eagle brand if American, Longevity brand from Viet Nam anywhere else in the Pacific Rim) for about 3 hours never letting the water sink below the level of the top of the can turns it into Dulce de Leche, aka the most delicious caramel sweet you've ever tasted in your goddamn LIFE. You can spoon it right out of the can and snarf it down once it's cooled, but it's even better as a topping for damn near any sweet or savoury dessert. Mixed into your plain cheesecake before baking, (hell it works even in no-bake recipes!) it turns it into the most decadent dessert you could ever even fucking dream of.
