:) Heheh thanks aeronimopaolito. Makes me wish I had a picture of me when I was a little kid with my first MRE. It was a 1993 Ham Slices in the middle of Summer 1997. That was also RC Gusto's first MRE (Ham Slices). Not sure what year he had his first MRE. Gschultz9 has a picture of him from when he was a kid outside wearing some camo outfit eating C Rations. Totally an awesome photo considering he's such a staple classic MRE Reviewer.

[@davebeat]

I read the ingredients on that main course for ya. Just from seeing it, it appears to be a dish called Sautējums. The ingredients list says: 31% Pork, 29% beef, 35% veggies. The veggies are beetroot, carrot, and onion. My Latvian mother in law cooks something similar with the same ingredients, but with the meats minced and the veggies diced and then roasted together on an oven tray, this appears to be stewed. It's a pity they didn't put a hard candy called Bārbele in there, those are really great.

[@eeelmooo3904]

Two fellow Latvians watching this with pride :D It's always nice to see anything from favourite youtubers about our small country.

Sveiciens visiem latviešiem! Nice video man, it was pretty interesting to see what's in our MREs. I can imagine how good that rye bread was, it's one of the foods that I miss the most while living abroad. By the way those "pickled cabbages" are actually onions together with beets and carrots. And, yes we like our coffee strong haha

[@gatisskipars9474]

Oh nice, Latvians finally have a dedicated ration :) When I was serving, we received our rations in shopping bags. In best case we received Lithuanian rations, some times some US rations when bigger NATO training exercises like summer shield or saber strike where on the list. I can definitely see the poor packaging, and some other issues with the MRE but this is a start at least. Thanks for the informative video.

[@MrIhatemakinusername]

You are definitely the bob Ross of mre reviews. They're just so calm and relaxing

[@Backroad_Junkie]

Thanks to Steve and the other reviewers, I can recognize "sugar" in a dozen different languages. So if I ever go to another country, I'll pee in my pants because I don't know the word for "Bathroom", but I'll be able to find the sugar. Nice...

Another wonderful review, as always. :) Dude, since you've become famous, you seem to be buried under a layer of laywers and agents or something - I've tried to PM you and such, but nothing gets through. I miss our chats :(

[@Steve1989MRE]

Hey Alex! So good to see you man. I was just thinking about ya the other day and hoping you and your sister were well. :) My message box has been broken for over a year - can only get messages but they can't be sent out. Kinda sucks. But I do have a new e-mail set up in the "about" section of my front page. Hope all's well man - talking to you when the channel first started was one of the most inspiring and interesting aspects of this entire experience. You helped me more than you'll probably ever know. Still planning on visiting Australia one day, and when I do you'll be the first person I go & bother. Hahah! Also if you ever come to Florida, you gotta stop by and have an aged Camel with me! I got a pack from 1957 that I am saving for a time like that.

Hey steve, I love your work. Your videos pushed me to grab a JSDF ration, and I have to say, it was quite the meal.

[@Steve1989MRE]

Hey man, nice find. JSDF's are getting hard to find nowadays since a more recent policy change in the Japanese govt's law on re-selling rations. Kindof a shame they got so hard to come by. So nice score there! All the best, man! -Steve

[@CJacobsLP]

Hey Steve! Just wanna say I love the editing style you employ in these videos. It's all in the little details, the way you cut between the third person and static shot by lowering the coffee cup was great. Stuff like that really adds to the quality of the video. Love this channel.

[@andrewoseguera9645]

That was such a nice NICE!!! that Steve said.

[@kueapel911]

what's great about steve... is that he isn't your usual american super picky eater that complains about everything pre-packed food and judge appropriately. As an MRE/canned food lover, I really appreciate this.

[@trinitybertinelli552]

アップルパイ although you cant generalize millions of people but Americans in general are not as you said picky eaters, i lived in so many European countries and i'm here in the states since 2011 and let me say that the Americans are more open to different cultures and cuisines than Europeans or Asians .

[@kueapel911]

You all can say things about generalization and stuffs, shifting the blames on those who prefer to compare how good someone based on the general situation around them, but get the facts straight. 1st of all, generalization happen because of a reason. And what's bad is to pre-judge an individual based on generalized ideas before even knowing anything about the person. And here I'm not even judging anyone. I'm praising steve for being much better than the generalized idea about american people. If you think that using generalization even with no context of an individual is bad and stuffs, then I guess all of you are just 12 y.o kids living in dream land of your youthful's "ideal world". Because in real world, we adults have no time to just sit around and assume that every single person is a special butterfly that's so far off fetched from the society to be so different from the general population's habit. But I don't really care if you're all just 12 y.o or an anti social adult, if you hate the generalization, put the blame on those who causes it (in this case, typical americans), not those who're affected by it. In a way you're doing now, it's like getting angry on a guy who is afraid of black people because coincidentally he got bullied a lot by black people thorough his childhood, saying he should not generalized and that he is a bad person for being afraid of black people. Seriously stfu, how about putting your blame on the right place?

[@jeffyoung60]

You folded the esbit stove the wrong way. You got it right in other videos. I've always been amazed how nations will go to the expense of adding a esbit stove with every MRE. Those esbit stoves, though cheap and disposable look like it could be reused repeatedly.

[@altavivo]

Thanks for another great video. I love how you describe the food in such detail. Keep it up and I look forward to your next video.

[@AdityaKumar-ew2kp]

Honey was expected because we latvians believe honey keeps you strong so we mix honey with milk and its more tasty.

PRESS THE START BUTTON 1 TIME VITAL FOR TASTE!! And once thats done you get the best thing ever!!
