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™
I laughed so hard when it went from "100% replicated combat conditions" to a jump cut to a pot of boiling water.
RRRnGAMES- actually though that's what we do in the field man. Throw them in a pressure cooker and onto the coleman stove.
Armyguy864 Dang that seems like a luxury
Game Giant- it’s not really. Those ghetto ass coleman stoves, you gotta fuck with them for a while.
Armyguy864 man y'all have pressure cookers? We just have plastic bags to heat our shit in lol as an American infrantryman I'm always jealous of other countries' MRE's. They all seem way cooler. I'm sure they all get old after a while though.
never more- yeah man we get ol’ naphtha coleman stoves going and we heat up a whole sections meal at a time. Though don’t get me wrong we have those heating bags with water too but in the cold they’re worthless. Yeah MREs are not really fun to begin with. Though I’m a vehicle tech still in training so I don’t really go to the field that often so I can’t really complain. I don’t mind the Canadian MREs they’re not bad. Except for the salmon I won’t touch that noise. Lol. Semper Fi brother.
Tried watching some of the other MRE reviewers. Nothing against them but, Steve is still the best.
Something that really puts me off other ration reviewers are those who smack their lips when eating. Its truly disgusting and their is no excuse. Steve maintains excellent eating etiquette at all times
It’s like PecosHank with tornado chasing and Jeremy Jahns with movie reviews, some people are just the industry standard
Nice!
@@jschools1392 PECOS HANK IS A GOD.
Let's get this on the tray. Nice.

I’ve only watched a handful of your videos-consisting exclusively of you discussing MRE type packs-yet you somehow still come across as like the nicest, most genuine dude out there. I’m sure that partly explains the popularity of your channel, as well. Keep it up.
Some people just have the knack for it. Steve could post videos where he watches paint dry and they would get 10s of Ks of views.
Daniel Varney nah man met this dude at a bar one time, I live in Lakeland fl, so I was like hold shit that’s the MRE GUY! so of course I was totally fan boying as my girlfriend was like wtf are you talking about, long story short I go up to him say hey man I’m a huge fan I’m a subscriber and love your vids you think I can get a picture with you, he proceeds to say he doesn’t take pictures and that I’m a peasant compared to him and if ur still reading this story I’m sorry I made it all up this dude is chill as fuck now let me just let my self out............. NICE
Hey Gavin, that was good for a laugh! I always carry a couple P-38's and coffee, instant, type 1 from the 70's-80's in my wallet just for when a fan says hi in person. Nothing is more fun than to chat for a few and share a laugh and a couple neat mementos to take along the road. I just met a dude and his mom at Webster Westside flea market and antique show this past Monday I was selling MRE's and the usual antique/jewelry setup I do out there on Mondays. And they were super nice and pleasant. I shared my British 24hr ORP that I brought for lunch with the fella. He got my chocolate brownie.. lucky bugger it was the only one in the case of 10. hah!
Steve1989MREInfo woah!! Was not expecting a reply hope u were not insulted at my comment was all a joke I freaking love your videos I litterly found ur channel last week and have been binge watching every single video, keep up the good work I actually live in Bradenton/Sarasota area so I’m actually not to far from u if u ever do a meet and greet would love to come up and meet u, either way love the content bro!!
Steve1989MREInfo, I live a lot further away than Gavin does, but I just found your channel a little less than a week ago, and other than wanting to know how much these cost, I do want you to know that I have been binging them too on my phone, and I find your voice so soothing and pleasant, that I put on your videos when I am going to bed, and sleep to them.

Somebody needs to edit those into a song with some NICE Steve catchphrases.
"The mustard is definitely not essential" *Montreal erupts*
I was thinking the same thing, first time ive ever said "shameful" when Steve said that :P
“Tabernac!”
In Canada, the coffee you drank is referred to as a double double. Don’t believe me just go to a Tim Hortons if you ever come to Canada and ask for one!
Brandon Levesque Funny to read because Ive had a Canadian teacher and he told us everything about Canada including stuff like that :)
Brandon Levesque I don't know, I don't necessarily refer to a double double as such anywhere but in a Tim's.
Brandon Levesque would I be able to get one in Quebec
its just coffee with two sugar and two cream
BaseballproGamer yes any where in Canada you can get one
As a veteran with 20 years of service to the army myself, I appreciate how you prepared the meals with 100% authentic battle conditions. Bless you comrade.
As a montrealer this makes me happy. Smoked meat with mustard is the real deal. In fact some places charge you extra for no mustard. If you come to Montreal goto Schwartz for the best smoked meat
fidorulz Dunn's is better.
Interesting. Is it similar to what the U.S. knows as "Sloppy Joe's?"
Aaron A. Foster not a all
Aaron A. Foster Nope, I'm from Montreal too and have eaten both sloppy joes and smoked meat and apart from both using meat and bread, they're a totally different experience.
Many restaurants serve it this way:huge pile of smoked meat (this one looked tasty enough) that you can enjoy with a fork because it's sometimes too big to eat as a sandwich at first, a couple rye bread slices, yellow mustard on the side to dip, and in the sandwich if it's small enough to be served whole, fries on the side, also dill pickles and coleslaw.
oops, here I am reading your comment fidorulz and I am clicking replay only the mouse is pointered on the thumbs down. No comment box shows up and Im like HEY WHAT then I see the blue. Damn, I need another doubledouble to wake myself up more. As to lunch, time to stop and pick up some smoked meat and fresh baked pain on my way to work!
You had me really laughing at the "100% replicated combat conditions" lol Keep up the great work Steve, you're the best
Can only watch Steve just something about him his voice it's so comforting and soothing lol
"100% replicated combat conditions"
I pissed myself laughing haha
For the Canadian military?
I can believe it.
We do pop it in a pressure cooker then put it on the stove. keeps the tent warm and melts ice for drinking water too.
lol yeap what I was thinking hahaha.
Seamus Sullivan yup pop the whole sections meals in and onto the good ol nafta coleman.
Man, I can't fault a single thing about your content. It's well informed, well structured, and it has moments of comedy thrown in to keep us on our feet. Fantastic stuff dude.
Except for his extensive use of "undertones" and "shortening"..

Living on the Canada-US border, never had this MRE, but the words _Smoked Meat in Mustard Sauce_ has my mouth watering.
It was truly decadent. I hope you can find this menu someday John because it's worth the hunt.
They are everywhere here!
Just go to montreal and get a smoked meat sandwich... trust me
Is that anything like smoke brisket with Mustard BBq?
Lol I know, my wife is Canadian and I’m now during for a smoked meat sandwich
Even a Canadian soldier needs his Tim Horton’s double double.

Sounds like a vegan burger to me.
"These Canadian IMPs really understand the value of a nice gusset"
Nice! Thanks for the video Steve. As a Canadian, I always get weirdly excited to see Canadian MRE episodes. If you ever go to Montreal, I would recommend you pair a smoked meat sandwich with a cherry Coke and a dill pickle on the side. Cool, see ya :)
I get excited too! Canadian MREs looks so good that I want to eat it all time.
Yaaas it’s so exciting. And then I wanna ask my Air Force buddy if he’s had them
toronto.quinn Your Air Force buddy is on standby with his WW1 bi-plane. WEADY 2 SERV N PWOTECT
Where do you recommend he grabs the smoked meat? Schwartzis definitely the most well-known, but idk if it's the best
GiGaBoOoOM I would say Schwartz's deli is the place to go. A classic Montreal establishment, and my personal favourite. My grandma took me there when I was little so it also has some good memories for me.
I want a shirt that says:
"let's get this out onto a tray."
"nice."
Haha. Even a Canadian Soldier needs his Tim's double double.
Instead of a snickers, they shoulda put in two timbits.
I'm surprised it wasn't from Tim Hortins, They even built one on the Kandahar base for the Canadian solders.

"Alright, so let's get these out on a tray"
/*extremely sudden jump-cut/*
"Nice"
Lol I love this line of his so much 😂and his intonation, too 😂
I enjoy coming here to watch Steve play "Ration Roulette". 😎
I had the pleasure of spending 2 weeks with a handful of Canadians during a field ex at Camp Pendleton. Ended up trading them some MREs for some IMPs. We definitely won that exchange.
100% combat conditions 😂

coolcatzgaming201 I did too honestly
Glad someone caught that
In some families, using the stove IS "100% Combat Conditions"... lol
Yeah🤣🤣🤣
I literally watch your videos before dinner as a apitizer to promote appetite and stir my hunger
I was in the Canadian Army (Artillery) in the 1980's.. we just put the IMP on the exhaust manifold of the truck to heat it up... worked well.

Love your videos!
Keep up the good work!
I've just came from a Brazilian MRE video and now I loved these.
Same thing happened to me
"Pain Hamburger" sounds like a 16yo's angsty emo song.
lol apparently "pain" is bread in french !
those canadians eat pain for breakfast
Back from medieval times, when bread was made of peasant pain. lol
As a French Canadian, I was confused by your comments but then I read pain in the english form and your right it does sound like some goth emo band
I'll make that a song on my upcoming album. Soon. In a few years.
I wish I could remember the first time I watched one of Steve's videos. And how I ever stumbled on to his channel. I never regret getting addicted to these videos. Plus all that I have learned from watching videos about Military Rations. I sometimes wonder if Steve is a gourmet chef, and his secret sinful food craving is these MRE's and Military field rations. Best part of my day is always seen that wonderful notification that Steve has taken the time to upload a video and bless us with his knoweldge.
boopernator I can't remember for the life of me how I found his channel either but I was hooked after the first video
boopernator many people found it from all the publicity he got for eating the civil war hardtack, that was how i found steve!
Skoopsro Skoopsro that was hardcore as fuck
9gag was my portal to this channel
)
boopernator mine was a 67 'nam ration a few years ago,with smokes included and instant coffee that he had with the smokes,that's where I thought"I don't know what I'm watching and why I'm watching it,but I need more of it"
My girlfriend says - "He has such a lovely voice, his girlfriend is lucky"
Update: she also said some other stuff which I can't repeat.

His accent drives me crazy!
She's just in to him for his coffee instant type 2

Let’s Get her out on a tray! NICE!
Lol I love how the coffee is a double double, just like how us Canadians like it
I would be disappointed to get a premixed double double. I drink it black, or with just a tiny bit of cream, but never any sugar. Then again, I supposed I am a bit of a weird Canadian as I also don't much care for Tim Hortons or hockey.
Cha like a large double double eh
That sauce looks more than magnificent, it looks...
Nice!
It's nice to know that Canada is feeding their troops well
Fuck off likebot
Lol we watch the same things even the jojos
Mate you must nothing to do
Yeah you're right, it was an awful comment. I'll edit it
Justin Y. Where not are you
The smoked meat looks right but normally it's made as a sandwich with mustard and maybe some pickles. Mustard sauce isn't something I've seen before. You're right to say it's similar to corned beef because it's very similar preparation and uses the same cut, however the main flavouring is usually the long smoking time. If you liked that, you should come to Montreal and try the real thing, it's even better.
Also the double cream and double sugar is similar to a common order at Tim Hortons, our largest coffee chain, people usually say they want a Double double.
So is this a breakfast menu or a lunch/dinner menu?
@@toryknotts8026 It’s usually like a lunch/dinner thing. Not sure about what time of day troops eat these meals though.
@@nstamour ah, thank you. The " chocolate milk" and a double double really made it seem like a breakfast. How bitter is a double double? From Steves refined coffee pallet, it sounds a bit like a coffee flavored monster energy drink.-- if you have had one of that coffee /energy drink hybrids.
@@toryknotts8026 it’s essentially a super sweet creamy coffee, it’s very popular, but I always found it too sweet personally.
@@nstamour yup, sounds a lot like that energy drink.
I was in the military eight years I find your voice very calming. I enjoy your videos in a weird calming way
Perfect end of the day time to relax timing once again 😁 time to watch some military rations with my favorite TH-camr .... nice....
Hey steve, a normal smoked meat dish in montreal usually looks like: A huge pile of smoked meat (this one looked tasty enough), a couple rye bread slices, yellow mustard, fries, dill pickle, and coleslaw. It varies, but you can get this plate at many delis, some places do it better, but most restaurants have good stuff.
Glad you enjoyed this! What you ate wasn't a typical "smoked meat" dish but I'm sure the soldiers are happy to eat it anyway even if they know the good stuff.
This is one of your videos where I am convinced that what you're consuming is better than a meal at a sit down restaurant. Job well done!
The 2014 version of this was my absolute favourite ration when I was in the CAF.
No matter how bad things here on planet earth get, as long as Steve is alive and kicking it feels like that nothing bad could ever happen in a world where Steve exist.
TWO videos just before bed. Am I in heaven?
You know what I think I like the best about his videos? He cleans as he goes. He spills something, he wipes it right up.
My OCD and inner-neat freak appreciates that
I love watching Steve he’s the best , he makes it so enjoyable to watch , So interesting to see the differences in the countries, thanks Steve your a doll 👍🏽✌🏼❣️
I love hearing you talk about food, almost wish you'd make a second channel where you travel to different cities and just taste local specialties
A trip to Indiana for a brain sammich would be a must!
"double cream, double sugar" hmm I wonder if us Canadians have a thing for that specific mix of things in our coffee, even maybe have a term for it 🤔🤔
oi lemme get a double double with some poutine, eh?
Smoked meat is indeed a Montreal specialty. It's usually eaten as a sandwich with some sort of rye-like bread, freshly cut thin slices of smoked meat, with mustard (Dijon or yellow mustard). It's usually like... 80% meat and 19% bread. The meat is supposed to be oozing with it's cooking juice (fat). Some restaurants allows you to choose fat percentage. It is not usually eaten as a stew, but it's not shocking to do so. It often comes as a dish with a pickle on the side, and either fries or coleslaw.
Very glad you enjoyed it.
Nice seeing an a upload from you, steve! Already excited for the next video! Nice!
Hey Jaehyun's Dimples, I am glad to have these two out before the end of the month for you & the folks here! Working on new ones as always, so stay tuned. Alright, cool!
When you put this peace of bun into the sauce i'm just like "heal yeah! that man really know how to enjoy a meal "
Find someone who loves you like Steve loves a good gusset.
Damn. That looks better than what I eat most days.
Thanks for haring Stevo! You asked about the way Smoked Meat is served in Montreal, and I have to say this MRE is nowhere near how Montreal Smoked Meat is served in la metropole... I've had Smoked Meat hundreds of times, and each outing to any Montreal restaurant delivered the meal the same way: A stack of smoked meat (pastrami) on Rye bread with yellow mustard on each side of the bread, an order of fries and a Kosher dill pickle spear. This MRE would have the right main flavor, but it would be way off on texture and sides. Still, if I were in a combat situation and this was the MRE I had, I'm confident I'd give praise to God for it instead of the many disgusting MRE options I experienced in Canada when I was in the Armed Forces, like peach flavored drinks in the field and cold omelettes that sat in my pack for weeks... For the record, I survived on Peanut Butter when we hit the road, and traded for it every chance I got so I could be awake during weapons training... #TGBTG
Hey Daniel, thank you for sharing! It's always fun to learn about new foods and this one was a neat introduction albeit not 100% authentic. Having it on rye with yellow mustard, fries and a pickle does sound much nicer. I actually have that IMP Omelet in Salsa menu - now I wanna review that one next. The IMP peanut butter is awesome it has a little extra sugar in it. I'd be trading for that too over a few of the less appetizing menus I've tried so far too. Clam chowder was not so hot either. Awesome comment again Daniel thanks man!
LOL You're going to LOVE the omelet even though I'm still having nightmares about it! Truth is, I was spoiled when I joined the Canadian Forces b/c I was used to my mom's awesome cooking, and only liked a few MRE items like beef stew, cheese whiz & peanut butter. Why do I think you'll love the omelet MRE? Because you've experienced countless meals, most of which I would have used for fishing or hunting bait. Pls find the way to learn from someone who's a no-one, you truly are gifted bro. I can't wait to hear what you think of more delicious, Canadian MREs. :D
Steve is so awesome, always makes my day when a new video pops up!!
@Steve1989 I'm in Canada. Born and raised. This is a variation of corned beef dinner (typically served with cabbage and mustard at home) corned beef is almost always served with mustard in Canada. It's a staple for holidays or special occasions like st. Patrick's day in most parts and delicious. Its almost like an open faced ruben, hence the bun if you want it that way. One of my favorite meals. Brought over by the Irish
“A little bit on the bottom, a lot everywhere else” 🤣
Liked the little bonus footage towards the end nice!
You got the Canadian "double double"
To clarify for Steve and other non Canadians, we'll often order our coffee with double cream double suger, which helps us survive the winter. It's seen as quintissentially Canadian, like to the point where most of us would find it adorable that the Canadian Army hands out instant double-double packets to troops.
The hard core Canadians drink 4x4s!
Used to see some that did 5x5 while I worked at Tims. There's not much room left for coffee at that point lol.
I thought it was an in an out reference and a joke about how the hamburger pain is all pain and no hamburger.
Crap, I posted almost the exact same thing. Shoulda read the comments before posting. :( At least I didn't mention the Forces, but yeah it only makes sense to give our troops instant double-doubles. :-D
Steve, I have to say that in my opinion you’re the best MRE reviewer that I have seen. The others are damn good but your videos are the most entertaining
as a guy from montreal, when he boiled the meal under - "100% replicated combat conditions", the kitchen is a dangerous place.... sir i salute your humour o7
Steve, you will forever be known as the biggest badass in history. Rock on brother
Canada - Making me like them more, one spork at a time.
I live in Ontario, however Montreal is about 2 hours away from me. And my grandfather used to make this all the time (rip). I watch this show a bunch and this one had me astounded. I wanted to eat the whole thing. For an IMP they did a BANG on job of this. Ive had my grandfathers and ive had it from montreal (they are close but not the same) this looks pretty perfect in my opinion. Another great video!!
Man why are these videos si satisfying? They are also my go to videos whilst sitting on the toilet lol.
Awesome ration review man, those Canadians sure can put together a good Military ration lol.
Hunter Prowse Yet we can't afford boots...
Tsukushi Ikeda anyone who has been in the military knows you can survive and fight without boots but not without food. I personally became a big shit bag the long I go without eating.
Tough combat conditions there man!
I can't believe you saved the snickers until last. I was staring at it the entire video feeling my mouth watering more and more...
Nice gusset. Steve never disappoints! The John Madden of MRE commentary.
you got a like for using the napkin and using the word gusset
Ouch, eating a smoked beef without rye bread.
Red sophistication takes time I guess.
You are the only MRE reviewer I can enjoy. The rest are just trying to be you. You set the bar high. I really enjoy your sounds effects, music and professionalism. Your choice vocabulary is nice too.
It's at the point where I eat while watching you eat and your voice makes me hungry.
Me: Man that looks super good I needa get one of those!!
Also Me: Checks the price
Price: $45
Worth it for the Snickers
I can grab a train and have the real thing for double that price...yet still want to try this...
Its kinda stupid to say about a ratpak, but i really like the look of the packaging for the Canadian IMPs
Not at all Jonathan! I kinda feel like it has that "Mom's bagged lunch" kinda feel to it. Like ya open it up and there is a ham sandwich, a banana, snack pack pudding, and a chocolate milk. Well, if it had that I'd say it was the best ration ever made.
Wow yeah that's true, the banded stuff(snickers and nescafe) would add to that feeling too. Would be good for morale.
Buff Shaggy you are absolutely with out compare the most entertaining guru on Utube . I have watched every one of your vids, many more than once. You are the goods man, top shelf!
I too really appreciate a good gusset steve.
Babish needs to develop a catch phrase so you can reference him back. ... (He's using your thunder, sir). :)
caffeineadvocate what do you mean? Explain.
Paul Nguyen Binging with Babish is a popular cooking channel. He recently used the catchphrase "let's get this onto a tray. Nice." In one of his videos
Babish put some food on a tray and sain nice
multiple times now, it's a good sign
Let those ingredients get to know each other
I've been watching a lot of your videos and I've noticed that most of the modern day rations are filled with a lot of sweets and chocolate. The older rations used to have more fatty foods (except the rations meant to make you save water or the pilots rations that were made of candy).
As a biochemist, I know that you need both lipids and glucides for your metabolism to function, but the lipids have more energy and will last you longer.
On the other hand, there is a lot of caffeine in those rations (coffee, chocolate, chocolate drinks...) which makes your metabolism use more glucides and lipids.
I'm thinking of 3 reasons why they made this change:
- your brain and red blood cells consume only glucose, so sugar might make you more alert
- Glucose is metabolized into glycogen that gives you fast energy when you are doing an effort. This would go well with the phrase ''hurry up and wait'' that we hear from army dudes. Lots of waiting and short battles where you have to use your head and make a large effort for a few minutes.
- Soldiers of previous wars had to walk long distances (WW2, Vietnam... they walked 12 miles everyday). This means they need lipids for the sustained effort.
I find that fascinating and I'm sure that when they design those rations, they have to think of such things.
Woah that's a long paragraph I give you props for that
I always respect a man that appreciates a nice gusset.
I look forward to your videos. I love how you describe all the foods and their taste. Another great video Steve! ❤️
Compressed napkin? Jeez, you can compress anything these days.
And nice video btw
Agree
They even have compressed air
Good stuff! Looks like the IMP's are improving, my latest reviews were 2014 issue, hoping to lock in to some more recent offerings!
I can’t stop watching these videos. It makes me so hungry and for some reason gives me an urge to eat oatmeal.
no matter what stress i had during the day, when i come home and hear that NICE! mmkayyy, i feel so much better. thanks steve1989MREinfo u r the most blessed
I am from Québec and that smoked meat looked darn good. But traditionally, it is served on rye bread and you can ask for one of three cuts off of the brisket: fat, medium or lean.
google, Steve, a Montréal video from either Anthony Bourdain or Andrew, so embarrassing I forgot his last name.
Cruise up there sometime and taste the real deals: maple syrup products (yes, I said products, lollies, sugar, taffy, syrup or in the spring a full meal where even eggs are cooked in syrup just off of the wood fired evaporator ( often if you look straight up from the evaporator towards the open vent, kinda like a hollow dog house to let all the fragrant steam out you will spy bone in, ham legs.
and please try a real poutine, brother.
(Poo - ts - in) just one long string said as a word.
I love your MRE reviews
Ahh an MRE that hits close to home. Always love the Canadian military foods.
That coffee pack! I used to buy those when I was in college and hard up for money. They aren’t mind blowing but they got the job done on a cold February morning
