LET'S GET THIS OUT ONTO A TRAY, NICE™
NICE HISS™
I'LL BE COMING BACK AT YOU WITH SOMETHING NEW OR OLD, ALRIGHT COOL SEE YA™
When I was in Somalia we were given 5 of these every couple of days to hand out to locals we became familiar with. The locals would split each one up as 2-3 meals. We would also sometimes give them our own MRE's. Us as soldiers would be patrolling with a weeks worth of MRE's in our pack or vehicles while food was waiting for us in the Mess tent on base.
Thank you for your service! I wish I could have served, God bless you.
Thank You!!!!
@Roderick storey this story is the best part of my day
An amazing story. Showing the best of humanity. Thank you for your service
Crazy how portable our food is compared to the past
I always end up watching these late at night and get really hungry.
Lol same!
Wow same! Seems it's common
same... It is 8:21
krokodil same rn
dr kronk I have that to
The reason the ration lacks drink is due to us sending water separately, when we did send cases of HDRs it was almost always in tandem with bottled water, as such, HDRs were made for a full belly, not hydration
"Smells like one of those apple and cinnamon candles you wish were edible."
Steve, those words let me know I am not alone.
The only thing you could have stressed a bit more was that these are intended to be an entire day's food for one person. They are compiled from ingredients that violate no known religious proscription - even the hand wipe is non-alcohol.
all these non-alcohol issue had been misinterpreted and misguided by most Muslim, they tend to generalize alcohol that sanitize and alcohol in foods are the same. I would go on but this is youtube :-)
Effendy Hamzah muslims use alcohol all the time im a muslim and my hand wipes have alcohol and its really haram unless you get drunk 😂
So they’re vegan? Cool.
All plant based proteins
It only really violates Jain
Back in the day, troops would give MREs to people in disaster circumstances and if the people had food restrictions for religious beliefs, they often would not eat them if the MRE appeared to have meat. These vegetarian menus eliminated that hesitation. My brother in law worked at that facility.
Even in emergency situations, people are still fussy and entitled
Oh well, more food for me
dirtbags would rather starve to death than eat meat. what a joke.
@@mwbgaming28 Exactly... if I were hungry and cold I'd eat whatever someone gives me.
When I was a kid living in Iraq, I ate a lot of these meals, especially pastries, and a lot of love and nostalgia
I just ate one of these like 5 minutes ago. Never had lentils before
Oh man, I got one of these from a coworker once after Katrina, and it was so delicious. That lentil stew with some hot sauce blew my mind. The red beans and rice did the same the next day. OMG I must find one.
I have to say those first photos made me tear up. That is the kind of soft diplomacy and outright human decency the US should be known for. Thanks for including them and for your review as always.
I used to be a wildland firefighter, we got these when we went out on the line. Sometimes we get stuck out there for 3 nights sometimes these were great eating warming them up over a hotspot. Beef stew and Frank's and beans were my favorites
"That's a nice hiss." - Steve in just about every video. It never gets old.
He needs to make T-shirts! Lol
Excoms I use that as my main pickup line nowadays.
Why did I read that as "That's a nice ass"
OHMsweetOHM LOLOL
Vincenzo Swag he really does
Seeing the phrase "Food gift from the people of the United States" and then seeing how many calories, and the knowledge that we have tried to make it taste good, makes me proud to be an American. Thank you again for showing us something that I never would have seen had I not come across your channel. Thanks again :-)
"Let's get this on to a tray... nice!" gets me everytime
Going on a picnic with Steve and he pulls out some old MRE packs, I wouldn't even be mad.
I used to buy MRE'S from a local Army Navy supply store when I'd go camping. It was easier than bringing a picnic cooler full of ice for food.
@@ITIsFunnyDamnITcamping mre's are big business now, single meals are expensive, $10 and that's just for the 1 main not anything else 😂😂
@@squibbelsmcjohnson It didn't always used to be that expensive. Times have changed
Disabled veteran approved channel! Thank you for doing us all a great service enjoying mre's.
Spider Mcgavenport
Thank you for your service
Thanks for your service and sacrifice!
I finally figured it out. You, Steve, are the Bob Ross of the 2000's. He had "Happy Little Trees" and you have, "Nice Hiss" and "OK, Cool, Yeah". Love it!!!

Let's get this out onto a tray... nice!

No you didn't you just read every other persons' comments on his channel.

When I see Steve upload... "Nice"
Joel's Boobs when I peel open a new video from Steve "nice hiss"
Catholic Shrimp opens the TH-cam app... “nice hiss”
You're spoiling us, Steve
Yeah, spoiled like a poorly stored ration from 20 years ago.
That will be eaten.
Which means he's only going to eat a piece of us and not the whole thing.
Stored in a shipping container that has been sitting in the tropical sun for a year
This is the only TH-cam channel I never get bored of!
These rations could be greatly improved by adding of tea. 🍵
I dont think the importance of tea in many cultures where HDRs were distributed can be understated. Tea is a symbol of comfort and friendship. Tea is shared between family, friends, and offered to strangers as a symbol of hospitality. Tea costs next to nothing. I can buy 20 individually wrapped tea bags at the dollar store in one of the most expensive places to live in the USA in bulk they could easily procure 3 tea bags for ¢5 for each HDR. Besides the cultural importance caffeine helps clear the mind and tea can cover unpleasant tastes in water like purification tablets or dirt.
you should make a shirt that says "nice hiss" and have your youtube logo on it
Mike Brown Or one with tray that says "Nice"
Mike Brown "Rancidity"
Mike Brown "Eugh! Hmmm, well...no thats terrible."
Please steve we literally want to give you money for merchandise please!!!
Peter Vozdolsky when you find a fellow bulgarian watching Steve1989, nice!
Steve's frequent Quotes:
"Nice hiss"
"Nice!" (After getting MRE on tray)
"That's Rancid"
"Oh wow..." (After biting into something great)
"Undertone"
"Oxidized"
Like if you agree 👍
"jeez"
JereomyA "Let's get this out onto a tray"
Crystalized
Rancidity
Erik Briones lol that's what I thought. "aw jeez"
I'm surprised they didn't include water purification tablets
That was one thing that I thought was missing. Then again, with these being in production still, they could always add them with an instruction book
Usually they have water rations as well in humanitarian efforts, probably rendering tablets a tad redundant at that point.
HDRs are normally sent with bottled water, thats also way it lacks drinks
There's a danger that someone who can't read, might swallow them.
Was that an after dinner mint or a water purification tablet I just ate?
The level of joy and nostalgia you get from these MREs, you talk like you are some guy trapped in a bunker after the apocalypse! It's awesome!
I am so addicted to this channel, it's the greatest thing ever. Who knew opening old and new ration packs could be so addictive to watch.
ok here is my idea, when the zombie apocalypse happens we invite Hickok45 and all hold up at steve's place
No, we have to invite Steve and Hickok to Matt from DemolitionRanch’s place
You go to Dragonman place.
I think they don't add any drink mixes in case it's a water poor area. but I imagine they would also hand out water bottles separately. so I don't know.
ziljin it’s because it’s strictly to feed people
Nice!

Let's get this out onto a tray.
Alright... seeya..
nice.
This would seem to be very morale boosting if you were a civilian in a war zone.
just finished a grape beverage base power and a toaster pastry. off to bed.
Nice.
I love Steve's voice. It is so damn relaxing. These are the best to watch if you have had a stressful day. Better than any anti anxiety drug out there! Thanks for all the hard work Steve!
"Lets get it on a tray" Nice!
I'm considering using your "nice" as my phone notification sound. Keep up the great videos man!
The thing is with steve is that he keeps it OG, even though he has around 200,000 subs. And thats what I like about him
i'm currently OBSESSED with your videos!
Steve, I've been watching since about 10k subscribers. It's really awesome to see the growth in your channel and how your tiny little niche has piqued so many peoples interest. Keep up the great work.
its about the presentation also, any one could do an mre review, but they would usually let their personal biases and other things ruin it, its hard to be open minded.
@@jusb1066 also Steve is remarkable positive
As a vegetarian, I really liked this and the menu. Sure could do with an accessories pack to round it off. Thank you for sharing. New subscriber. Really loving your videos. Warm regards. D/P
During the gulf war ,soldiers from La. were trading their MREs' for the U.N.rations with the red beans(a local staple in the south).
Thanks so much for this video. I have always been curious about the contents of an HDR MRE
Very sensible to make them vegetarian, as it eliminates religious concerns over meat.
Woo! More MRE videos from you Steve.
Once again, keep up the amazing work
Steve you are the GOAT of MRE review's man. My wife and I love your videos and your review's are spot on. Thank you for all you do out there pal. Keep the videos rolling.
It's like listening to Bill and Ted do MRE reviews. I love it.
2 new videos? Nice!
***** Dude, that's edgy.
"Rancid nuts" "rancidity"
And cigarettes old enough to be your papa.
Tomartyr and gum.
"type 1 coffee" lol
I don't remember how I got here...but I'm sooooooooo glad I did. These are so damn fun to watch. Keep it up Steve!!!
Another fantastic review but I don't think anyone would expect anything else. Keep up the great work!
Can't believe your willingness to do these videos, always interesting to watch! :)
new subscriber here, probably the funnest and best Channel I've ever followed, keep up the awesome videos!
How do I send MRE's to you? Got some great British MRE's that you should take a look at!
Can I get one or two of those
Vegetarian entrees can be distributed universally. No worries about meat issues, pork issues, etc.
My dad said that growing up in Brazil he mostly ate rice and beans and that once in a while they would change it up and have beans and rice......
The way you say "Nice!" when you put the food on the tray makes my life hahah
Why does no HDR reviewer put the jam on the shortbread? It looks like a match made in ration heaven.
I think it's because even just a halfway decent shortbread is still great to savor all on its own, while salted crackers can surely be spruced up. Also, maybe nostalgia. I use to love making mini-pb&j's with salted Ritz crackers when I was a kid. Personally, if I were eating this ration, I'd leave the shortbread as is, use all the pb&j on the two salted crackers, and use the vegetable crackers with the mains(either broken up and tossed into them, or like you'd use a slice of bread to mop up the good stuff). If there was only one set of crackers, I'd use all the pb&j on just one of the crackers and use the other on the mains.
Strawberry shortbread, sounds a lot better than strawberry cracker to me too.
idk which rock youve been under but that "HDR reviewer" is SteveMRE1989 and he is a legend
Hey Steve! I'm getting my first MRE this Christmas. Just wanna say that I've watched almost all if not all of your vids, and that you've really been the motivator for me asking my parents. Keep up the content!
It's a "Meal Ready To Eat, Menu 17 (Pork Sausage Patty Maple Flavored)" Yum.
smurphy murph the krusader koala good luck with that :/
This ration makes me sad. Handing these out during my time in Iraq broke my heart.
I used to live in McAllen and I got thrown off guard when I saw where it was made
Give a man a HDR, he eats for a day.
They give you the ability to make Peanut butter jelly in a ration and i think thats real neat.
Sose Cherofsky it truly is the most universal of foods
No it is not! Only Americans eat that crap. Can you really imaging some starving African/Arab opening one of these and going "ooh goody, peanut butter and jelly - my favourite"! While I am sure either one will give no end of pleasure (and energy) to the receiver (who has probably not eaten anything sweet or savoury for some time), it leaves me gobsmacked that anyone would think of providing the makings of something so American as a P&J sandwich to starving or war torn refugees. American cultural imperialism at its best! It would be like us Brits sending over freeze dried full English breakfasts or fish and chips!Incidentally, it makes perfect sense not including powdered drinks in the MRE; where will the water come from? It would probably be polluted or unsafe. Presumably, they will be happy if they receive bottled water with the MRE - they probably will not miss the so called 'grape juice' drink or American tea bags anyway - I know I don't.
Im fairly sure that if there is a humanitarian presence in a "war torn" or starving country they would all so be handing out water.
these day, humanitarian mission also provides water flirtations system for the affected populations, beside clean bottled water.
Sose Cherofsky: nobody in the world eats PBJ sandwiches. I tried though, and I like it. I prefer honey on my peanut butter though.
I will never forget the TV interview of an Afghani spokesmen complaining about the MRE's the U.S. sent there after they had an earthquake several years ago before the war. "Why can't you send us some better food? Like some mutton?"
Handy Capo yeah watch restrepo some of them are real greedy assholes
Well that's pretty ungrateful
Handy Capo
Damn
Yeah we come over there cuz their people bomb and terrorize the shit out of us and without helping us catch the baddies they just expect more handouts its pretty sad to think of those poor guys over there
i would be happy to eat any of the mre's and im in the UK, its better food than i can afford to eat, so i cant see what their problem is at all
Love your reviews. Always interesting, sometimes hilarious.
Good shout with the red beans and rice! Chilli peppers and tomato really compliment each other!
I don't know why I love these videos, but I can't get enough. Thank you.
Just the way he says "Nice! :D" is so damn cheerful it makes my day for some reason.
I never look to these MRE tests without having a snack at my disposal.i like all the MRE tests from all the guys of the MRE community here on TH-cam, but stevemre is the one i like the most, hahaha!
I really do like how inclusive this is and it does have 3 small but sustaining meals
been watching your videos and man got me inspired to just buy them!!
Steve might i say i love your music!!!!
OMG Steve is making Full HD videos about ancient cheeeeseee spreeeaaad!!!!
Great surprise with these uploads. Didn't expect them since you've recently uploaded.
I can imagine the stash of matches you have from all the packs you get out of the accessory packets in all the rations you review.
Esbit stove fuel tabs, purification tabs, and TP/napkins.
😆
This channel is so soothing.
A search and rescue school I teach at was able to purchase these at $10 a case from government surplus. To say the least, they were not a big hit with our younger students. The ones we had were slightly different as they were packaged by another company. I didn't mind them, but I certainly missed having some sort of beverage.
boy the sodium levels are off the charts! guess that's how it stays fresh. more salt than bacalao.
A continuation of the last Humanitarian MRE last time, hell yeah
AND AWW LAWD IT'S 1 AM AND STEVE UPLOADED 2 VIDEOS IN A ROW
Of course it has no drinks. Imagine a dude in Africa reading the instructions:
"Iso-tonic be-ve-ra-ge powdah. Mix with 12 ounces of watah... What is watah??"
"What the fuck is an ounce"
Steve's voice is so relaxing and always makes me hungry ❤️❤️❤️
I think you could describe virtually any food and make it sound appetizing =D.
Pop-tarts are really good if you spread peanut butter and/or jelly on the back of one and put the other on top like a sandwich.
Sparrow9612 doing too much
Dalton Obima Too much?
+Sparrow9612 Nice.. I never would have thought of doing that :)
crazyfvck - You haven't lived till you've tried it.
***** ha :)
two new reviews i can watch before i go to bed, nice
Steve, I just gotta say you're videos are my favorite on TH-cam for sure! Nice!
Holy crap the lentil stew is older than me by a few months.
I really love your videos keep up the good work I love mres
3:03
me: that looks like puke
steve: that looks awesome
me: *it looks great*
Hi Steve! Have a "nice" weekend that's coming up. Keep it up with your videos! 🙂
It's amazing how long these things last. 19 years later and it is still eatable. It didn't spoil or anything.
china and Rusian MRE can be really gross if get eat 19 year later
I love Seven Oceans bars for the dense shortbread taste, and Datrex bars remind me of the coconut Christmas cookies made at the bakery where my Mom worked.
I see what you did there.
Sean Welch lol nice
They dropped Silver outer case HDRs in Iraq circa 03-05, as I had one but I've only ever seen the one but was told they made them silver for Iraq so they could be easily picked out in the desert, but the contents are exactly the same here that I had over there.
These humanitarian rations are better than the stuff I eat. Need some ASAP.
Love to see others parts of the worlds , humanitarian emergency supply food .
Steve see's a rabid cat, fighting to get into a dumpster, he walks over and tries to help it in!
Steve : NICE HISS!
Amazing video as always, truly one of the best channels on youtube imo
Damn, that's a pretty robust ration! Shortbread?!? Nice!
I kinda wish you had eaten these cold, like some refugee would have if unable to set up a kitchen
I got a 2021 batch and buy that lentil stew still slaps. They give you branded poptarts and two hard cookies instead of the figs and shortbread. They also still give you peanut butter and jelly but only give you a pack of vegetable crackers, which do not go with the peanutbutter and jelly, so Im not sure whats going on there. The barley is the other standout winner entre.
I just bought a case of 10 of these (freshly made, they're a hair under $50 for ten full day meals, which is kind of insanely cheap) for camping or days when I'm gonna be in too much of a rush to pack a breakfast/lunch. I've only tried the menu #1 thusfar, but it was lentil stew, barley veg stew, vegetable crackers, 2x unfrosted brown sugar poptarts, oatmeal cookie, shortbread cookie, peanut butter, strawberry jam, and a packet with spoon/napkin/wetwipe/salt/pepper/sugar/red chili flakes/matches.
I'll be damned if it wasn't _really_ good. The oatmeal cookie was almost scone-like, really dry and dense but had lots of molasses and some ginger, the crackers were great with the barley stew (which itself was really solid) and I'm just waiting until dinner to try the rest/will have the poptarts for breakfast.
The only improvement I could think of would be (and this is totally not what they're made for) making the packets that the entrees come in microwave-safe like some of the pre-made indian curries are (I tested it and after about a minute I got a spark, so they are foil-packed) and maybe giving a couple teabags or sachets of instant coffee, because otherwise I can't think of a use for the sugar. But I keep teabags in my backpack, so it's fine.
I'm absolutely going to keep a case of these things on hand from now on. $5 for an entire day's worth of totally decent food is kind of amazing. I just need to pack a flat-collapsing bowl to microwave them in when I'm on campus.
Every time I see a new video I get super excited
If u haven't ate in days im sure this looks amazing. Looks great
