2020 Russian Prisoner 24 Hour Ration Review Tushonka Vegetable Caviar Convict MRE Meal Taste Testing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ต.ค. 2023
- A very difficult to acquire package of food given to Russian suspects, convicts, and prisoners during transit or for when regular hot meals aren't feasible. Featuring a ton of hard tack, sugar, a couple tea bags, and a few halfway nourishing meat and grain kasha type items, along with a vegetable caviar - or rendered puree rather. It's some pretty delectable squash, carrot, and vegetable oil spread which really is the star of the show, along with that beef tushonka.
Truly a fascinating ration that you don't get to see every day.

Steve can canonically read every language as long as it's written on MRE packaging
put some clay or stone tablets in front of him, and then watch him explain that it's a Babylonian MRE menu
Nice
In my head canon Steve learns the language of every ration he reviews before filming the video.
Steve-3P0, protocol human.
Linear B civilization ration
If I was being transferred to a Russian prison and the guy next to me started reviewing the meals in this style then I would feel immediately much more positive about the whole experience.
Nice!
@@Steve1989MRECan we see the guard ration sometime?
I could see this happening in a Marvel movie
@@christophercox2325I think we have. I think he did a video on it. Someone did for sure that I saw, pretty sure it was Steve.
Hahaha 😂
The lengths Steve will go to for a ration. I mean, just imagine going all the way to Russia, committing a crime, turning yourself in, processing into a prison, establishing dominance among the other prisoners, digging a tunnel, breaking out and going on the lamb, then paying off a boat captain to obtain passage back to the states...
...just to get lunch.
Mad respect, Steve. Mad respect.
Why do you think there's such a long time in between his videos sometimes? He's ultra committed 🤣
It's like a superhero origin story. Steve1989 is like Batman, but in real life - and instead of fighting crime, he's fighting to get pre-1998 salted crackers reinstated. Along with coffee, instant, type II.
In Putin's Russia, crime commits YOU
Nice
"Alright just gonna shiv this guard in the spine."
"Nice~"
In 1993 I worked as a labourer on a construction site in Russia for a month and the tea was literally twigs from a tea bush, no leaves at all, and even that tea dust looks like a improvement. The only saving grace was the enormous sack of sugar crystals we had, to dump into the tea for energy. As the hotel food provided was borscht twice a day, those sugar crystals provided most of our calories.
Russian Borscht doesn't have cream? Or just the "gulag" version?

I'll put it down. Fuck Russia, can't even beat Ukraine lol.
@@aglimpse5238Maybe shouldn't have started a war then, huh?!
Only Steve can describe prison food in a way that makes you hungry.
Nice
nice hiss
@@Ole_CornPop
how the hell did this shit make you hungry bro
My last time in jail I marveled at what sort of human would poke the fat out of Treet lunch meat.
You aint wrong! probably dog/cat food as its for prisoner, but he makes it sound so exotic. Suppose it would be if you were on your last legs.
Steve just got out of a Russian prison and still dropped a video. We are blessed
Nice
Lol
Steve commiting crimes in Russia so he can get a taste of the Tushanka.
The prison staff had had enough of his chatter, plus he had eaten everything even the borstch.
RIP to all those who would have followed in Steve's footsteps but never made it out
I swear, Steve has a supernatural ability to find the positive qualities of anything as long as it comes in a MRE box.
*In a gulag* "Here, you have 1 pickled beet and whatever snow you can melt for dessert."
*Steve* "Nice! The beet has an earthy quality and the melted snow reminds me of a winter's campout."
"Wow, this tea is really weak, but you can taste the black pepper, polonium and bergamot. Nice!"
Oh look an unopened can of Zyklon B. Nice hiss.
i love the nice part cause i read it in his voice in my head
Маринованная свекла?😂 Не разу ни слышал о таком)) это наверное вкусно)
@@Popenhtein Pickled beetroot is actually quite tasty and eaten often with liver pâté sandwiches in Northern Europe.
“Probably don’t get a spoon” firmly grasps it like a knife “For whatever reason 🤷♂️”
I love the idea of avoiding giving prisoners in transport utensils that could be used as a weapon by instead giving them a comically large bag of equally lethal hard tack.
The bag is really weak too, so unlikely to be used as a weapon.
True, but you could nibble the hard tack into shuriken and fling them at the guard. 🤣
@@peterclarke7240Or shape it into a shiv.
I'd hate to be the guy who bled to death after being stabbed with a biscuit.
@@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger instead of rocks in a sock, hard tack in a sock?
If You're creative. You can turn some of those tins into weapons or spoon if the guards Allow that, might get the poor.l Dissident some more time in the gulag.
I massively respect Steve's commitment to using that gnarly styrofoam cup.
He didn't even wash it! AAAAAAA
For science!
might not see him again for a month due to him catching some sorta disease from that thing XD
"Am I really going to make the tea in that?" *pause* "Yeah, why not." Love it.
@@Geno2021That makes the experience even more authentic
Steve is THE cellmate you want to be with, sharing a good meal taste testing.
I already watch him eating when not imprison. Having him as a cellmate must make the stay insanely more bearable.
There is going to be a big confusion when guards find out he has been smuggling MREs inside.
This guy eats expired foods as a pastime and doesn’t look a day over 25 absolutely amazing love you Steve!!
Preservatives.
You are what you eat...
Oh. So you have seen my house that looks like the bunker under Berlin in 45.
I eat nothing fresher than 2 years old.
Still this side of the grass. Or should I say bunker?
“And for dessert, a pack of sugar.”
He made it sound so nice.
Like, the tundra is cold and unforgiving, the road ahead is long and arduous. But damnit if I dont get my sugar for desert.
Nice
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 nah.
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 Ya' get a lot of converts this way?
how you make your candy is your problem. Now bring me a bunsen burner some water food colouring and some butter. Right now.
Steve has the absolute most underground black market ration hookup. And i love his dedication to the sketchy foam cup.
I imagine getting russian rations isn't too difficult. So much corruption there
@@moonasha Words are cheap.
Nice
Hail all mighty sketchy cup.
yeah. for sure!
"I'm excited about this hardtack" said no one ever but Steve.
My favourite thing to just chill out watching Steve. It's been years now.
I can say the same about myself. His videos used to be my late night solace away from the news during Covid times.
I just can't believe how strong this channel is going after all these years. We're a weird, diverse community. Nice.
Nice
Hiss
It is like chicken soup for the soul.

Steve is the only man on the planet who could be on a train to a gulag in Siberia sitting in a cage saying 'nice! Let's get this on to a tray'
😂😂😂this killed me!!!!
Ok. For breakfast, we'll be startin the day off right with some hard tack gruel

Dated a Russian woman for awhile , she made the vegitable caviar . Homemade , it took all day to cook down to the right consistancy , it was realy , REALLY good ! She used it on rye bread , the heavy , dense , European type .
I had some from a jar when I was over there. My first thought when we served it was "This is like baby food", exactly as he said. But it was surprisingly good, as you wrote, on bread.
Million different recipies , home made is amazing , but A LOT of work , so most people dont do it . Mass produced is ok , but lacking in flavor @@jackuzi8252
Moscow to Siberia is more like three or four days by car! What an amazing ration to have gotten your hands on. Thanks so much for this, Steve.
I mean where in Siberia? Could be 2 weeks
@@murphy7801 I was thinking Moscow to Tomsk specifically--that's a full seventy-two hours by train.
I love the fact that someone is eating this during the worst day of they're life and Steve is enjoying it so far 😂
Nice!
*"the worst day of their life, so far..."
I think many would be really happy to see a transfer lol depends on where they are leaving
I wonder if Brittney Griner enjoyed it.
@@cgnicolisI still can't belive FJB traded the merchant of death for that dude! I bet he was treated to much better food than this too. Gotta treat the trains with raspek!
Been watching Steve for years. What I like about Steve is that he doesn't feel pressured to release videos every day or week. He does his thing, puts up videos when he feels like it, and we all benefit. He has the secret to longevity that many content creators haven't gotten yet, and they end up burning out and vanishing.
I love him for this. He stays true to himself and his work after all these years. No flash, no gimmicks no fucking moronic thumbnails of himself pointing at things with a clown expression. Absolute A1 informative content delivered with easy going class.
the secret is botulism.
If you'd watched before you'd know he used to post regularly but doesn't so much now.
I would think he would need to spread a lot of mulch and put tons of plants in the ground so he could earn enough money to purchase some of these gems. Military ration collecting is not an inexpensive hobby.
Some of these rations Takes him years and thousands of dollars to get his hands on.
I like how Steve treats this with as much respect as any other ration.
I'm VERY curious how "Russian-prisoner-grade" pork pate compares, taste and quality wise, to stuff that's easily available in the US like Potted Meat Food Product, or those little cans of deviled ham in the paper wrapper.
Or the cat food on isle 6?😂😂@@TheB3e3
why shouldn't he
What a fu*king weird comment.
just a good honest review
I like that he doesn't waste any of the food, even if it's 100+ years old.
Alot of people would take a couple bites, make a remark or two, and then throw it away.
That lonely pile of hardtack won't eat itself!
I'm so surprised he ate all this. None of it looked like I would eat it if I had a choice. I kept expecting him to say "now that smells like a can of cat food" but then he takes a bite 😅
I was in jail and one of the inmates was a Russo-Ukrainian guy who had all the classic prison tats, he showed how Russian prison tea was really used: sticking like 50 of those tea packets in a small container with hot water for an ultra-concentrated version that felt like drinking 20 redbulls at the same time
It's called chifir.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chifir
Chifir' (чифирь) - ultra concentrated Soviet prison tea
Have you ever heard the term “samovar”? This is a device for making Russian tea. A heating source below, a kettle above. And at the top there is a teapot with extremely strong tea extract. You dilute the tea extract with the hot water to make drinkable tea. The extremely concentrated tea extract has nothing to do with prison, but is the completely normal way Russians enjoy tea. The fact that there are people who drink the tea extract pure... well, everyone as they wish.
@@giostisskylasin Poland we don't have samovars but prisoners still make the tea the same way. They call it "czaj" and it's made as described by the original commenter. It's supposed to have some narcotic effects (or at least give you a lot of energy) but I don't know if it's true.
It is somewhat true as this ultra-highly concentrated tea has a lot of caffeine - so it gives prisoners a bump in productiviti and it's a measure to survive long and cold nights. But it's also a drink that is really damaging on your teeth and bad for your overall health@@ziemowitzderski1071
I've struggled with an ED for most of my life. Watching Steve helps me eat. Even when the food is ancient, he's so excited and grateful. It's like his attitude is contagious. Thank you so much for these videos!
I thought you were talking about erectile dysfunction at first and was wondering how what you said made any sense. 😂
nice!!
@@daveR0berts I'm so glad I wasn't the only one! 🤣
I also struggle with ED!
....... oh
Erectile dysfunction?
Hearing Steve say nice is like hearing a warm hello from an good friend.
This is surprisingly better quality than I would think for a prisoner ration in Russia.
He's eaten worse military rations
Propaganda is real
Hurr durr propaganda, it's not like it's a prison ration or anything
@wmduav dawg if it's in an MRE steve will find something positive to say about it. That's just how he is. I always appreciate his positivity.

Steve may be the most "glass half-full, not empty" person to ever exist. Only he could find the brightsides of what could barely pass as effort given for this ration lol. Never change Steve.
raised in the US by euro immigrants - these rations actually look awesome 😭
@@XxpurexrussianxXpackaging is absolutely garbage, but it doesn’t look that bad, a decent main, beverage and vegetables.
Steve I was excited to see millet in this ration. My wife (native Russian) has been feeding me millet for years but always at breakfast. She says farmers would usually eat it in the morning before heading out to work due to how calorie dense it is. I typically eat mine stirred up with a bit of sugar as well. Definitely my favorite Russian breakfast food.
I worked in a correctional facility and prisoners could make weapons out of simple Styrofoam by simply heating it and molding it into a knife or sharp object. Crazy stuff prisoners will do out of ordinary items.
In some correctional colonies of the former USSR there are museum corners with confiscated “prison weapons”. In some colonies, especially gifted self-taught people managed to assemble revolvers and single-shot pistols.
@@StazherEzhov thats crazy! Can you give me a description on how they made them?
@@StazherEzhovMost prison facilities in the US do this as well for training guards
I replicated this breakfast with a can of my cats food, crackers and a coffee cup with a few dry grounds in the bottom I found in the dumpster. It was thirst provoking
One of the reasons we watch Steve1989 is to hear sentences you can't possibly hear any place else in the world - like "I'm excited about this hardtack!"
Or that that vegetable spread looked amazing.
Me: that looks disgusting
Him: this looks amazing
Lol he would be funny if he lived during early sailing times on some English ship... so cheerful and annoying the other sailors (there probably were some guys like that then too actually, people who are naturally happy and appreciate the simple things)
He once ate Civil War era hard tack, it smelled like 'old library books and leather boots'
It tasted like it too!
There's something almost artistic about the way Steve presents all of these MREs and I really liked how he committed to using the cracked cup just for that added effect... It really gives you a feeling of what it's like on your way to the gulag and the type of food you're expected to eat and how it's presented and what's the best way to make it enjoyable if you can even say that. Avid follower for many years. Keep it up!
Steve you are a national treasure. You bring so much joy to so many people. Nothing makes my day like realizing you uploaded a new video!
Really unique and fascinating ration. Only Steve could "start the day off right" with a meal of hardtack and cat food.
Hahaha you thought that too. You can bet western cat food is better quality meat cuts then whatever they ground up into "meat"
There is a chance Steve just ate people.
And baby food (orange paste in the corner of tray)
@@canadiansovietI know it looks bland at best, but that stuff is AWESOME. eggplant-based is 10/10
Chicken pate is SO good, especially when made with liver. Highly recommend with flowery teas. Calling it cat food is doing it a disservice. Though for sure the one he had was very low quality
It’s better than the food prisoners get in the states. That would be a high priced commissary item.
Please note that the food and materials provided cannot be turned into a weapon to be used against guards or other inmates. Though the foil can be twisted in to a spike like shiv if you get enough meat tins and twist around tight enough.
The bag of hard tack could be used like a sock full of pennies as a makeshift sap, but authorities thought ahead and made the bag super flimsy.
I think if you give prisoners a sturdy bag they'll asphyxiate themselves/one another. But yeah a sap would work too.
Another potentially interesting detail is the low amount of very weak tea given and a very flimsy cup provided with the ration. This might be, at least in part, to prevent the convicts from using extra strong double or triple boiled tea as a low impact drug.
I commented that hard tack sock instead of sock of rocks thing somewhere else lmao. surely they would have socks?
@@poppymason-smith1051 actually I’m fairly sure they do have socks. So that hardtack in a sock might actually work. Has anyone mentioned that to Alexi Navalny yet?
What I love most about this video is Steve delivers the "alright let's get this out on to a tray, nice, m'kay" with the same exact enthusiasm as Italian or French rations with alcohol and liver pate as he does for post-Soviet gulag rations in modern Russia.
I have following steve for since I first saw his awesome reviews.
My understanding of MRE culture is now greater than norm, and I thank steve in public, but love him for it ! TY steve! We need you, an TY .
I don't even eat MREs but a Steve video always makes my day.
It's Nice
Nice
Oh shit, you were blessed. Nice.
I hated WITH A PASSION the Spinach Fettuccine Alfredo. Then watched Steve’s review and he loved it! I guess it just your preference
He eats them, So we don't have to!
For a Russian convict MRE, it's better than I figured it would be. Though it's also clear there's a fair bit of a 'we don't really want to give you anything but we still will' feel to it.
Russian prisoners don't get rations like these...
@stevemcgowen this video is about rations for Russian prisoners. What do you, on keeper of infinite knowledge, know that this video doesn't show us.
This is the guards ration 😂
This is a labour camp ration, not a prison ration.
@@kw2519 Did you not pay attention to the actual video? This is not the guards ration, this is the prisoner ration during transfer between facilities. He specifically mentioned the guard ration has an extra 1k kcal
Just wanted to let you know Steve that we veterans appreciate you and enjoy watching youre videos ,especially the research and knowledge you have about this subject!! Actually youre catch phrase ( nice hiss ) has become a thing among us!!!😅😅😅

I never would've expected myself to regularly watch MRE reviews, let alone get excited for them before discovering this channel. It's funny how a bit of passion and personality can make a seemingly mundane hobby entertaining and interesting.
Steve mre vids got me through many bad barely sleeping nights
wholesome and heartfelt, that's what I love about Steve...I can't believe the amount of knowledge he has regarding rations around the world.
Roses are red, violets are blue. The best kind of coffee is instant, type two.
Even the most mundane of things has a unimaginable breadth and depth of knowledge even down to the most minute of details. Steve just shares the beautiful view he sees that we can't.
It’s more than you’d think they’d be giving to a prisoner.
For some people out there that’s a damn good meal
Hobo salivating over this ration like a chumbud over a Phasmophobia collab after 44 days without Goob.
I don't care who you are, these meals are bleak as fuck and we shouldn't be feeding anyone like this. People the world over eat better than this, and literally any cuisine turns out better food for even the lowest of society.

Great work as always--thanks for coming back and giving us all this fantastic content.
Can we just say that Steve has some mad shirt game. Always excellent taste in attire and food rations.
The "I ❤ Ham" tshirt is hard to beat!
"For dessert, a pack of sugar"
I laughed way too hard at this 🤣
I just started watching these with my boyfriend, and honestly, I'm hooked. I I 😊never expected to be so into this kind of thing, but dude, this is so cool! ❤
I can’t believe that Steve actually used that cup, it was cleaner after he drank the tea than it was before he put anything in there.
We're going to start the day off right with a nutritionally balanced meal, haha thank you Steve you're the best.

"Russian prisoner 24 hour ration" turned out a lot better than I expected it to be.
question is if the prisoners get it or not, and what prisoners.
@@Warhamer116 True enough. This could be what the first class prisoners get.
That hardtack is pretty much the same as we have in Hungary called "háztartási keksz". A ton of hildhood memories of eating it either soft in vanilla pudding as a dessert or by itself with tea when recovering from massive monsoon level diarrhea. It is good keksz.
"monsoon level diarrhea" is a superb phrase 🤣
nice pfp
currently snorting at my work desk in response to each of these meals accompanied by a miserable plastic sack of hard tack- bless Steve for giving all his taste tests an equal level of thoughtfulness, critique, and respect
This channel always provides the soothing entertainment the body craves.
It'd probably be best to have half the kasha and half the tushonka together both for lunch and dinner. The kasha would soak up the juices and fat from the tushonka. Or at least save the vegetable puree for the kasha. That'd probably give it a bit more life.
That's what I would do (provided you're given the whole box at once, not an item every meal time)
Agreed
That's exactly how it's done. In retail, they actually have them mixed together and canned for sale, which works great for camping.
@@scratchcratch actually looks good
Steve, this is another first! Your channel is certainly the standard for other ration channels to follow!
"This is great" said no one ever about a Russian prisoner ration. Until now. Love it.
Steve you are the guy who got me interested into MRE's. I'm actually looking to getting myself some US MRE's from the german military surplus shop this year. A delectable creamy spinach fettuchine and a pepperoni or cheese pizza.
Right on man I hope you have some amazing times with rations and get them out onto a tray. Hit the trail too. Nature is nice
For what purpose? Genuinely asking.

Another brilliant video.Just to add that transporting convicts from Moscow to Siberia is normally by prison train which takes 45 hours-a bit more than all day.If they are transported by road for any reason,it takes six days.

After finding your channel i have a new problem. Now i order MREs more often and the people in my office think im nuts. But i don't care. Thanks for the great work and effort you put in your videos.

Or
Stuff you buy at the shopping centre, packets that break, stuff that goes off, crap thats heavy and the hassle of nothing fitting easily in your pack.
I think people think poorly of MREs due to the shit talk of soldiers whinging about MREs from the 70s and 80s that made them terribly constipated.
Modern MREs are just so superior an option for when you're outside of a civilisation.

Siberia is a general term used in the western world for the eastern undeveloped area of Asian Russia, but it is also a specific region defined by internal political borders within Russia, just like a province or county.
A major city in southern proper Siberia is Krasnoyarsk, which is a 53 hour drive from Moscow nonstop.

Kudos for keeping cracked plastic cup, authentic.
Agree completely.
I suspect we will see more of these in the future. There are so many non military uses for MRE's after all. Camping, refugees, field workers like linemen working in the middle of nowhere and so on.
This is haut cuisine compared to actual Gulag food
The thing I appreciate about this channel is how he does things like uses the broken cup simply because that's what the ration came with. Small thing, but it's nice.
Steve always has the beat T-shirts but, that "Cage Fighter" Nicolas Cage shirt is so amazing!!!
Thank you for sharing these types of videos. I never thought I would enjoy watching another person eat food that I have no interest in eating, but I think I've watched every single video on this channel... maybe multiple times
I'm convinced that Steve has joined every army around the world, and collected rations along the way.
By now he is so popular that it wouldn't surprise me if some of them send him forgotten leftovers found somewhere.
Wow this was an interesting ration. Rare. Great video as always Steve.
I love how his videos are just as long as a tv show minus commercials.
Prisoner rations are equally as interesting as military ones...! So cool! Hope you can find more! :)

That was one of the most interesting MRE videos I've seen. I'd love to see the matching guard ration.
This has to be the most poetic episode so far. The gnarly cup and the baby food sent me to the moon.
I love hearing how smooth he says " Nice "
Fun fact about tea - in Russian (and post USSR in general) prisons extremely steep highly concentrated tea (called "chifir") is very popular - it's one of two most known prison ways of getting "high", along with cigarettes. That's one of the major contributors why a convict who spent a lot of time in Russian prison usually has bad teeth. That's probably why the tea portion is minimal in this ration.
Highly unusual ration, never seen this type ever. Thank you, another great video, presented in your lovely kind way.
Very strongly reminds me of the food served at our county jail.
@@RT-qd8yl I've never been in a prison (UK here), the portions appear small, is that correct?
@@RT-qd8yl we have okay food in our county jail. Full trays of home-cooked food for supper at 4:30 p.m. Breakfast is a little light at 4:30 a.m. and they give a sandwich then for lunch.
