Boil it and down in. Will keep you up for some time. Tastes decent. Also, you overcooked the pork: When you fold the stove, you fold 2 parts up and 2 parts down. You use only 1 ''tablet'' of fuel per cooking session. And you cook the pork for about 1 minute or 30secs of simmer.

As someone who served as a Cook in the US Army, We learned a lot about field sustainment and ration science. It's been a wild experience to see what armed forces in other parts of the world have for an Equivalent to the MRE, and each time, I'm impressed in one way or another about what they provide- maybe even jealous of a few food items, but either way, You're doing good work.
Im Latvian and love watching your videos (i always crave to try those old cigarettes). I was so excited to see my countries name on your video and I am so glad our rations are decent and enjoyable. Those spoons are absolute trash and we use them all the time when many people have to fed. I had assumed our soldiers had better utensils, but I was disappointed. Anyways, thank you for making my day 😊
I would like to see Steve do a best of the best MRE awards each year. Where he cherry picks individual items from around the world to make his own uber MRE
“Truly delectable. They give us these mashed potatoes almost every Wednesday, but lately the quality was declining slightly, you know, maybe the Idaho crop last year got affected by drought... so they were substituting a powdered product, but this-this is *fresh* potato someone actually peeled and boiled and mashed.”
While the other prisoners are annoyed at first, Steve is just too amiable and they eventually grow to enjoy listening to his yarns about the vast and labyrinthian history of army rations.
Ahhh, another Latvian MRE review. Thanks, Steve. Most of those products are brands available at regular shops and supermarkets in Latvia. I lived there for several years and this brings back so many memories... Great country and people. Paldies, my dudes.
Steve will forever be one of my favorite channels on youtube. The guy is so naturally charismatic it's insane. Every single upload is a blessing, this is lowkey asmr for me. I hope you never stop Steve. Your MRE reviews, at least for me, are the best.
As a Latvian I can say that you missed a big opportunity to put honey on the bread. That's a big thing here since it tastes amazing and reminds of childhood for most of us.
@@samblandford6858 ehh, depends on the bread and person, with as many drinks as this ration had. I’d probably use the jam on the bread, then use the honey in a drink. That is actually fairly common to put honey in things like tea
I've been a fan for a while now too. it's always nice when you click on one of his newer vids and find a comment of someone who just discovered him. always entertaining to read
Definitely, i like the dude because he finds the joy in the little things, that most of us take for granted! from what i can tell he seems like a decent guy...
I traded a mre with a latvian when i was there a while, i even warned him his was better and with a bit of sadness as he ate it and said i was right. If I remember correctly it was asian beef strips
When u are in the field cold, tired and hungry, even things u dont usually like when you are at home taste like a 5 star dinner... Especially warm food with a lot of fat :) greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
Big fan Steve. Just a recommendation. You could put some water in the can, once the food is removed to deglaze it with a stir, and get some extra tasty crunchy bits and more sauce to dip the dry bread in.
I had this exact one a few months ago! Been watching u for over a year now and have really gone down the rabbit hole with ordering foreign MRE's. Thanks Steve! Keep up the outstanding work.
Steve, I love your content but that isn't what stands out to me today. Your personality is incredibly amicable and soothing, you have a great deal of knowledge and give excellent background and history on everything you showcase but what stands out to me is how many of these comments have replies directly from you. Even if it's just a "Nice" that's some engagement you don't get anywhere else. This is a wholesome dude, doing something wholesome, and enjoying (mostly) every minute of it. I'll never stop watching.
I like how Steve's intro / outro always honors the military service issued the ration. He's always way more positive about everything than he could be, but even for him it's an especially nice touch.
Thanks as always Steve! My brother and I actually imported the Lithuanian ones you covered earlier this year and now will need to get a couple of these too!
I'm new to your channel and I'm mesmerized, feeling quite empathetic for what the people in the field go through to get sustenance. I'm also enjoying watching vintage food reviews! The 100 year old British beef! Awesome.
I don't think I can really put into words just how much I love this channel. A lesser man would think that after 100's of MRE's, you would lose your appetite at the site of such a dish, however a true connoisseur may quite literally wet the bed at the site of a 24hr Combat Ration Set, neglecting the touch of a woman for the superior heating of a FRH to keep you warm at night. Love your work Steve, keep up the good work.
Anyone else always disappointed when the coffee is just regular nescafe/other common franchise? I love the custom made one that are just a green packet that says "coffee"
The nescafe sweet and creamy is pretty good for what it is. I'd love to compare old WW2 coffee instant to it. One day I'll pull the trigger and blow a couple hundred bucks on a ration LOL
No. Honey in tea. Jam in porridge. Bread eaten with buckwheat pork thing. Thats how they eat over there. And as the climate goes its almost always raining over there
As an ex British soldier I was told about your channel from a friend as I loved the mres when I was in during the 90s and found this video very informative and in depth so I am now binge watching your vids and wow the variety of mres u are reviewing amazing but do you think you could do an updated video of your top 10 places to buy.

Not only does Steve know all about the rations of any particular country, he can also tell you what the weather conditions in that country will be, along with average seasonal temperatures. I find that... Nice.
I was told MRE's are illegal to own by a veteran. Is that true. I told him that did not seem right. Great to see you Steve, alright, cool, nice. Love, Anna
Hey Anna! They aren't illegal to own just to sell and even then it's hardly enforced. Only time I hear of folks gettin popped for selling MREs is if they "fell off a truck" and it was a whole pallet. Much love back -steve
To own? No not illegal, like Steve and others said, technically the Military- contracted and owned MRE's are prohibited from selling, but again like they said that's rarely enforced unless theft is involved. When a Menu set is discontinued, the DoD usually sells them to vendors if they aren't kept in circulation until gone. There are also several manufacturers that both contract to the Military for MRE's but also make them for civilian market with the exact same components, Ameri-qual and XMRE are two of them.
Luckily, I have an extra Latvian black currant jelly packet lying around...only Steve!

Not only does Steve know all about the rations of any particular country, he can also tell you what the weather conditions in that country will be, along with average seasonal temperatures.
I find that... Nice.
I was told MRE's are illegal to own by a veteran. Is that true. I told him that did not seem right. Great to see you Steve, alright, cool, nice. Love, Anna
They are illegal to SELL if they are issued as they are US property. If you buy them from a reputable seller, it's 100% fine
it's illegal but it isn't something that the US government can regulate because all sales are done through private transactions
Hey Anna! They aren't illegal to own just to sell and even then it's hardly enforced. Only time I hear of folks gettin popped for selling MREs is if they "fell off a truck" and it was a whole pallet. Much love back -steve
To own? No not illegal, like Steve and others said, technically the Military- contracted and owned MRE's are prohibited from selling, but again like they said that's rarely enforced unless theft is involved. When a Menu set is discontinued, the DoD usually sells them to vendors if they aren't kept in circulation until gone. There are also several manufacturers that both contract to the Military for MRE's but also make them for civilian market with the exact same components, Ameri-qual and XMRE are two of them.
Well, yes, but actually no.
I loved Steve getting a shout-out by one of my other favorite content providers, The History Guy for eating 100+yo hardtack.
