The promised us Tabasco packets, and they took them out after like one year. Now there's only about four menus that get hot sauce. It really is their worst decision ever.
My boss spent his deployment as a commo trading extra phone time for tabasco bottles and cash. Made a few grand and was the Tabasco King of the whole region, said he could get anything he wanted with his tabasco stash.
"I just spent two weeks eating nothing but salt reduced sopakco rations in an air condition environment" "oh because of the coronavirus?" "coronavirus?"
Believe it or not, the Creamy Spinach Fettuccine IS actually much better cold/room temp. It somehow has more flavor and a better texture. Heat turns it into a flavorless glop, true. It was one of my preferred MREs in the Army, although I remember it had peanut M&Ms added before 2019.
Its actually decent either way, but only when fresh. I have a few of them. BUT, I did notice that they are not so nice after awhile. Ate another one that was about three years old a few weeks ago and it was not nearly as good. Had an odd chemical mush flavor. I think this one and the MRE Pizza are two menus that don't age well. The pizza turns into something kids would make out of brown and red Play-Doh, and that's about how it tastes. Like you literally ate the pretend pizza when they said "wanna try?" Salty and weird.
@@Tourist1967 Had to try this ration to see what the fuss was about, but those pretzel pieces are honestly pretty great. The fettucine, was indeed pretty bland and boring.

The military still goes by the outdated fda recommendation of daily protein intake. I’ve always thought they put way to many carbs and sugars and not enough protein and fat in MREs.
I don't think it would have been too much to ask for a small packet of parmesan for the pasta, adds a bit of flavor and makes it look way more inviting.
@@Quantum.Quasarrr I can't answer for op but that stuff is horrible, I had the version with pretzel sticks and hot sauce instead of flakes. It is barely food, after adding crunch, hot sauce and salt it was just a bitter, spicy, salty texture, thanks only to the bland pretzel's.
@@Ceannmor Maybe I'm nuts but I also had the pretzel stick version. I found the main to be pretty decent.. even good. The hot sauce made it pretty good, at least.
I don’t know if y’all have got similar experiences with Steve, but I know that his videos have always helped me when I’ve been struggling. It’s something about his calm soft voice and the gentle pacing of his videos that helps me relax and feel at peace. Anyways, Steve’s the best.

I don't think it's as bad as Steve is claiming. It definitely had more flavor than what he's describing. All I can guess is he got a screwed-up batch and someone overcooked it or something.
My two most despised MRE meals - Beef In Jamaica Sauce and Spinach Fettuccine. Ghastly stuff. Edible in extreme emergency only. Idea.... Set the spinach fettuccine out in a trap, catch a possum, then butcher, cook & eat the possum!
dude, you will taste these for a whole day after eating them, they are usually the last ones left in the box after everyone takes the good ones and man, I would rather eat sticks
with this pace of progress youll most likely see nothing for the next 3 years, looks like i/ we have to wait for other contents, either older or 'worse' than me to appear first
I'm willing to bet a lot of us who watch this channel are in the same boat. "I'm running to the store, need anything?" "Nah, I'm good for..... 3 or 4 years, I think."
One thing I love about your videos is that you really do your research and can explain all the history of all the different parts of the MRE and drop tidbits of info about each one. Your passion for MREs and in-depth reviews are what make these videos so special!
Had to laugh when I seen the title of this one. Me and my dad started watching your videos about a year or so ago. Dad decided to order an MRE off of Amazon for the heck of it back around January. We ended up getting this one to try. Found it so salty overall on the main. Everything else was decent though. We got done, looked at each other and said " I wonder what Steve would think of this." Keep doing what you do man!
An MRE one may want to socially distance themselves from? When the crackers and snack have to come to the rescue of the main, you know it’s pretty bad.
It broke my heart to hear they reduced the portion size of the cheese and peanut butter packs though. After eating MRE's for 30+ years you learn the technique for making the spread pouch last exactly as long as the crackers, so that the last bit of cheese or whatever goes on the last chunk of cracker before you pop it in your mouth. 1 oz. pouches feel like a betrayal of everything that makes America great.
Makes you wonder if they actually pay anyone at the manufacturer to taste their own product and give their honest opinion "y'know boss, this taste like ass. that'll be $100"
I gotta say, I wasn't expecting this to be a bad menu. I just had the same MRE today, after it sitting in my room for almost two years, and I loved every bite. Must be a difference in taste thing. Loved the video, always love your reviews, Steve! I had a nap after mine too, it's a hearty meal that really fills you up.
Yeah i liked it too. You can use this, the menu 2 beef entree, 2 packs of tortillas, 2 cheese packets and a folded up brown outer MRE pouch as a dish to create lasagna.
Steve, I find your videos absolutely fascinating. You have such a calm and relaxing demeanor, I can't stop at just one video. It is so cool watching you open each can and packet. 💕🙏
I love the advertising on the main packaging: "Warfighter Recommended, Warfighter Tested, Warfighter Approved". As if that convinces anyone that this is actually a hearty meal. That main course really does look terrible. Still I believe it should not be too difficult to make a hearty vegetarian meal that can satisfy even habitual meat eaters. I'm thinking about something with beans (for protein), potatoes (for carbohydrates), some green vegetables and a good mix of spices etc. for flavour.
I love how protein is the ultimate redeemer for Steve lol... Like something can be total trash taste wise but still receive a passing grade as long as you boost that protein 😂
It could have been good, but institutions rarely ever get anything right. If they weren't complete idiots, I would think that the spinach could be dry freezed and turned into delicious crunchy sheets, similar to the seaweed snacks from Trader Joes. As for the alfredo-- I'm pretty sure I recall an MRE that did that and didn't suck, so they know how to do that. I think it's the spinach they have no business trying to prepare. It's a delicate leaf. Overcooking it ruins everything good about it.
The folks at Natick have traditions to uphold. A case of MRE's wouldn't be the same if it didn't have at least one menu that didn't inspire swearing when handed to a soldier.
I love how he is so used to this specific MRE so he knew 1: to cook half in half out the side, 2: to keep one cracker for the main meal because its not crunshy enough, 3: to mix coffee with protein mix, like seriously wtf dude you know so much about this so specific topic!! Its so awesome to watch i had a good laugh watching this one!!
I love your honesty. "I think I spoke too soon"! lol ♡ Im not your typical demographic, but Im loving this channel and Thank you to EVERY soldier watching! I will nevet forget your sacrafice! ♡

everyone panicking about coronavirus and starts hoard food buying
Steve: laughs in MRE*
😅😅😅
Everyone: *Hoards mountains of toilet paper*
Steve: *Survives off the tissues in accessory packets*
I'm willing to bet a lot of us who watch this channel are in the same boat.
"I'm running to the store, need anything?"
"Nah, I'm good for..... 3 or 4 years, I think."
Nice!
I wish people hoarded these just so they could get a taste of how vile they themselves are. Dickwads
Any Coronavirus entering Steve is immediately taken out by an elite fighting force of WWII botulism from a C ration.
🤣🤣🤣
The best covid comment in here.
Covid: we are dominating the world, soon the world will bow to Corona!
Botulism:*in a Patton Tank* cute, but we've beat an empire before
Thanks Steve for bringing us great content during these hard times.
Hey you're welcome Daniel and thank you too man. These are indeed.
@@Steve1989MRE You must have a laugh reading some of these comments 😅
Your love/appreciation for these MREs is unrivaled 🖤
Nice.
One thing I love about your videos is that you really do your research and can explain all the history of all the different parts of the MRE and drop tidbits of info about each one. Your passion for MREs and in-depth reviews are what make these videos so special!
Steve "This is one of them snacks where ill smell the wrapper for a day afterwords and have a hard time throwing it out"
Had to laugh when I seen the title of this one. Me and my dad started watching your videos about a year or so ago. Dad decided to order an MRE off of Amazon for the heck of it back around January. We ended up getting this one to try. Found it so salty overall on the main. Everything else was decent though. We got done, looked at each other and said " I wonder what Steve would think of this." Keep doing what you do man!
That stomach gurgle @15:07 🤣 give this man a 🏅
I had to rewind to make sure that wasn't my own stomach gurgling!
While everyone else is talking about Joe Exotic, we know who the true Floridian hero is...
Wasn't he from Oklahoma?
@@wesleyjohndelaney106 yes. It was that damn CAROLE BASKIN that was from Florida.
Steves from Florida?
@@seanellis2274 I figured steve was from CA because of the Jefferson Sticker
Yeah, he lives in central Florida. He lists an address in his description.
An MRE one may want to socially distance themselves from?
When the crackers and snack have to come to the rescue of the main, you know it’s pretty bad.
It broke my heart to hear they reduced the portion size of the cheese and peanut butter packs though. After eating MRE's for 30+ years you learn the technique for making the spread pouch last exactly as long as the crackers, so that the last bit of cheese or whatever goes on the last chunk of cracker before you pop it in your mouth. 1 oz. pouches feel like a betrayal of everything that makes America great.
And yet in tune with everything America has become.
Makes you wonder if they actually pay anyone at the manufacturer to taste their own product and give their honest opinion "y'know boss, this taste like ass. that'll be $100"
Way to rock the "They Live" t-shirt.
@dr. strangelove The bubblegum was rancid.
Roddy Piper tried to warn us it was a documentary.....
dr. strangelove MRE cinnamon chewing gum that is
Man I was just gonna type that comment 😩 Roddy Piper.
I gotta say, I wasn't expecting this to be a bad menu. I just had the same MRE today, after it sitting in my room for almost two years, and I loved every bite. Must be a difference in taste thing. Loved the video, always love your reviews, Steve! I had a nap after mine too, it's a hearty meal that really fills you up.
Yeah i liked it too. You can use this, the menu 2 beef entree, 2 packs of tortillas, 2 cheese packets and a folded up brown outer MRE pouch as a dish to create lasagna.
Hey Steve. I've seen other TH-cam reviewers for MRE's, but yours are the most organized and informative, by far.
Its all about the tray
Steve has been training for this moment his whole life.
You are the Bob Ross of MREs. I was waiting for you to say, " Let's shake the devil out of it". 😆
🤣🤣🤣
Steve, I find your videos absolutely fascinating. You have such a calm and relaxing demeanor, I can't stop at just one video. It is so cool watching you open each can and packet. 💕🙏
I can’t be alone on getting anxiety watching him balance his drinks on the tray while eating.
It is a craft most people that served in the field acquired...
Seriously, I think that every single time.
Thank you!
I love the advertising on the main packaging: "Warfighter Recommended, Warfighter Tested, Warfighter Approved". As if that convinces anyone that this is actually a hearty meal.
That main course really does look terrible. Still I believe it should not be too difficult to make a hearty vegetarian meal that can satisfy even habitual meat eaters. I'm thinking about something with beans (for protein), potatoes (for carbohydrates), some green vegetables and a good mix of spices etc. for flavour.
stew
Your last sentence describes like half the main courses originating in India
they have vegetable crumble MRE but it has egg ingrediants a all vegan one would be cool
Red beans and rice spiced heavy.
This is definitely a highlight in light of the current situation going on around the world. Thank you Steve. We need more content from ya bud.
I love how protein is the ultimate redeemer for Steve lol... Like something can be total trash taste wise but still receive a passing grade as long as you boost that protein 😂
"Creamy Spinach Fettucine MRE" That just sounds like an awful idea to begin with...
Agreed.
They have enough Italian options as it is, needs Asian options
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 No one wants fish sauce farts or durian burps...
It could have been good, but institutions rarely ever get anything right. If they weren't complete idiots, I would think that the spinach could be dry freezed and turned into delicious crunchy sheets, similar to the seaweed snacks from Trader Joes. As for the alfredo-- I'm pretty sure I recall an MRE that did that and didn't suck, so they know how to do that. I think it's the spinach they have no business trying to prepare. It's a delicate leaf. Overcooking it ruins everything good about it.
The folks at Natick have traditions to uphold. A case of MRE's wouldn't be the same if it didn't have at least one menu that didn't inspire swearing when handed to a soldier.
Man, that look of disgust forming with that first bite of the main
Always concerning to see from Steve.
The hulk wouldnt eat that slop he'll toss it at Loki and make him eat it.
Vincent S 🤢
Vincent S and the look of delight when he drank the make shift moca
I've seen that look on many a lady's face when she sees me
It makes me sad when he gets something that isn’t tasty
You've chosen Death.
I love how he is so used to this specific MRE so he knew 1: to cook half in half out the side, 2: to keep one cracker for the main meal because its not crunshy enough, 3: to mix coffee with protein mix, like seriously wtf dude you know so much about this so specific topic!! Its so awesome to watch i had a good laugh watching this one!!
Some of you only love old MRE vids, I just appreciate the fact that Steve has so much knowledge and only opens packs he has duplicates of.
I can confirm this is the worst MRE to get stuck with in the field, we’d ditch the main meals and just stick with the accessories.
John Bain confirmed. One of the few MRE where you just toss the main
No wonder you lose wars with that attitude
I'll trade anyone my remaining crayons for all of their Fettuccine packs, I'm sure it's got more calories.
Can confirm, luckily we got a vegan in my section so I just trade with them
True
gettin through quarantini with steve’s spinach fettuccini
Nice rhymes man
I love your honesty. "I think I spoke too soon"! lol ♡ Im not your typical demographic, but Im loving this channel and Thank you to EVERY soldier watching! I will nevet forget your sacrafice! ♡
