2016 New Zealand Patrol Ration Pack MRE Review NZ Meal Ready to Eat Taste Test

[@markb9159]

In every video Steve uploads, I always look forward to moments like 5:20 when we taps the spoon on the cup and it gives off a melody sort of sound. Little editing like that makes me appreciate these videos.

[@AerialORANGES]

I don't why it's so satisfying, but it is.

[@_Miyano]

mark b. I've noticed that too! Very melodious!

[@ADifferentMe2010]

I absolutely love his editing

[@Northfan42]

Agreed! My husband and I love watching Steve's videos as they come out and when he gets to preparing the drinks, one of us will say "Play us a tune, Steve!"

[@acatnamedhoratio2939]

I always call it "Steve's Sweet Spoon Magic" and it makes me giggle every time

[@Korium84]

That FRH sounded like it was about to take off. Logical that Lockheed made it.

[@ranitsaha3658]

Korium exactly what I thought 😂 😂 😂

[@mikegeorgius7589]

Totally...

[@alexanderdelacruz9249]

Korium 😂😂😂

[@patpatpat999]

LM Made? Shouldn't be more than about $500 per MRE. Cheap at twice the price!

[@Grimmwoldds]

@@patpatpat999 That's the price of "bangers and beans" superiority. You will absolutely dominate the meal space.

[@randyb.k.4018]

Kinda disappointed that the cabin bread wasn't shaped like a cabin :(

[@archangel2166]

Half-Life Security Officer so was the Cabin

[@gobas_jm]

Randy B. K. Lol

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

Or a general house shape

[@gabrielstrong2186]

Gingerbread Cabin Bread??

[@nesbitt615]

But I'm sure the schnozberries taste like schnozberries!

[@user-rd2ml4sy6x]

" calls for 750ml " uses about like 400ml LIVING LIFE ON THE EDGE STEVE, NICE !

[@Shane-Singleton]

Steve likes to turbocharge his drinks. does it with the coffee, isotonic drinks, teas, and just about every other kind of beveridge. lol.

That works too 👍

[@dj22356]

Steves top ten; 10 ".M' kay" 9. "Thats rank" 8. "Thats a hard hitter" 7. Random smiles at camera when smoking cigarette . 6. "Something new ....or old" 5. "See ya" 4. "Cool" 3. "Let's get this out onto a tray" 2. "Nice Hiss" 1. "Nice"

[@wik1613]

[@tiberius704]

Every episode without fail: "right off the bat..."

[@Chrael]

Corollary to 2: "Hmm, no hiss."

[@flattrack33]

Alright!

[@PantherFox]

we love our custard in nz, that's for sure. it's basically as good as you described. it's one of my favourite desserts. goes good with fruit and/or pavlova.

[@grizzlybear9338]

We love it here in the UK too, we use it for on cakes instead of cream

[@suecollins3246]

Here in South Africa we have a sort of National Desert called Milktart. It's a thick vanilla custard in a crisp shortcrust pastry and sprinkled with cinnamon. I have a lovely old recipe and I make a lot of them for extra income.

[@meatavoreNana]

Try stirring whipped cream through it

[@ripdog]

Really cool to see so many of my native New Zealand brands in a ration pack. Nice! Whittakers is the best chocolate in the world, no joke. Get a peanut slab, import it if you have to. It's godly.

[@AHD2105]

I like the Rum and Raisin dark choc..that would be best in the military lol.

[@troubledspirit3328]

Absolutely Whittakers,. The best.

[@slxyerxo]

You capping hard, Whittakers is the best chocolate.

[@ashermoke7144]

G there straight up milk chocolate is good tho

[@meatavoreNana]

Any Whittaker chocolate is amazing... I love Blackforest and Dark Peppermint

[@dingdongspaghetti]

I think we should appreciate that Steve even makes his own music for these videos

[@katj3443]

His talent is phenomenal.

[@Jawst]

5:22 little bonus in this episode 😆

[@kane6589]

Hi Steve, I'm from New Zealand, I've been watching your vids for a while they're great! Whittakers is our very own chocolate company and they're amazing. That wee bar you ate is exactly what we can get in stores, doesn't look to have been changed for the MRE at all. I'm surprised they don't put the Whittakers peanut slab in there instead. It's a classic! Keep up the good work dude!

[@Pitoface-mp8ss]

Hey Steve you should do a Q & A that would be....Nice!

[@Steve1989MRE]

That really is something I should do by this point

[@guigoGOGO]

Steve1989MREInfo you totally should... maybe a live stream

[@chimpaflimp]

You also need to tell the story of the MRE that nearly killed you.

[@bunkerbob7702]

Its your demeanor that we love, and what makes the channel.

[@pj5767]

A Totally Ordinary Aubergine lol, yeah lets hear it steve.

[@briantaylor3204]

Steve your videos are literally amazing, you're a natural presenter and now have me interested in MRE's and that's pretty, NICE.

[@Steve1989MRE]

Hey Brian, thanks so much man! I am happy to be able share my passion for the ration with the folks here & hopefully get a few new good souls into the MRE scene. Alright cool!

[@Z-Tbh]

I always love it when he makes the lil song edits with the cup

[@issu6455]

as a new zealander, ive never felt such national pride

[@yardy666]

Watch his other NZ ration review then!

[@cameronreed1411]

Nice! Also, the ration was made by Lockheed Martin which is an American company.

[@TDMFAN]

Made in NZ by a multi-national Corporation that originated in the US and I can guarantee all those ingredients are from NZ.

[@beyondbackwater4933]

A lot of NZ ration items are made in Australia, and a lot of Australia's are made in NZ.

[@patkm8290]

Fellow new zealander here 😎

It's 1.38 AM, just stopped everything to watch Steve

[@jujubees]

Steve, I just want to say that I love the way you describe the tastes, smells, textures... Also your voice is really soothing.

[@CthulhuInc]

i've said it before & i'll say it again - steve, your voice is so soporific - my insomnia doesn't have a chance against it - thank you, my friend! you & bob ross are the tops!

[@melissalarigan325]

CthulhuInc, listening to Steve helps me sleep at night. Love it.

[@exidy-yt]

It's funny, the very first time i heard Steve's voice i HATED it, it sounded like it was going to be some dudebro-type of voice, but I quickly turned around on that. It's easily my favourite voice now, mellow and relaxing to listen to as he tears into ancient (and current) military rations for our enjoyment as much as his.

[@gobas_jm]

CthulhuInc for real

[@HughesEnterprises]

Steve, you need to find some authentic astronaut food from the 60's or 70's!

[@icantthinkofaname15]

They're Astro-NOTS lol

[@katj3443]

Yes that would be cool

[@tommyjoestallings3339]

Your description of the ration is top-notch makes my mouth salivate you do great job Steve of depicting The taste and texture and performance of each ration

[@Rroaj]

I want that bit where you tap the spoon on the cup as my ringtone.

[@libertyann439]

Music🎶

[@emabuono9992]

I love this guy, I keep watching youtubers complaining about anything and everything, Steve on the other hand seems to enjoy this so much, he's always like, wow, this is so good, this is great, nice. I like that.

[@DuckGoogle]

Yes! I've been waiting for a NZ ration, thanks Steve. Greetings from New Zealand.

[@roddmatsui3554]

Yeah, this is relaxing talk......opening, studying and enjoying preserved food packets from around the world......such a serene attitude towards food packets. There is a weird enjoyment in subsisting, for a time, on shelf-stable MRE packs. Watching someone else enjoying this type of thing helps it seem like a legit hobby.

[@joshbenton810]

it would be typical of the NZDF to have half of it be stuff you can get at the local supermarket xD all except the retort pouches(and contents) and the heater can be found at any supermarket(and probably the custard in the pouch) Also, hot custard is best by itself.

[@rafel1715]

Like a lot of rations…

I cannot stop watching this guys videos..awesome. Back home from work, I get them out onto a tray..

[@Matt5444]

Whittaker's milk chocolate is my favourite. The dark stuff is good too.

[@vermontvampyre]

I cant watch these unless im eating, going to eat, or have just stuffed myself full....it makes me too hungry especially with how good he makes what looks like bad school food sound xD

[@JohnWicksPencil14]

The musical spoons are utterly satisfying and a ‘nice’ addition to your videos.

[@markgonzales5172]

“You will only need like 3 teeth for this” 😂😂😂

[@charlieaydin1377]

Steve, love your videos!! Especially when you eat stuff like this. You make my mouth water with how descriptive you are bro... makes me wish I could try one with you on another plate!! Thanks for making them man

[@christianeveringham2542]

Nothing but love here in Australia Steve I've had a very harsh childhood which now causes me to have violent tendencies and be very depressed at times but your videos have kept in stable frame of mind , I just want to thank you and tell you to keep doing what your doing you legend

[@OneEdgyAngerSniper]

“Beans, Bangers, and Chicken Bacon” sounds like a porn parody of a cooking show...

[@michelledavies4511]

Bangers is AUS and NZ slang for sausages (commonly used when we cant spelling sausages)

[@OneEdgyAngerSniper]

That’s, actually, kinda smart. My brain was just being mushy when i originally wrote this...

[@bawtawbawt9439]

"I like blue" Steve 2017

[@icantthinkofaname15]

Me too it's pretty

[@drpicmeup]

While wearing a blue shirt. Epic.

[@RikoRene]

Move over "I like turtles" kid, we have a new king at one liners!

[@mcspreggen]

As an Aussie, who is a neighbour to New Zealand it's cool seeing some of these products as they are similar to items here in AUS! Great job Steve!

[@ianmacintyre382]

you continue to impress, you paint a picture, are clued up and involve the audience to the degree that i feel and can almost smell the MRE...awesome

[@michaelbaka4777]

Another great review, thanks! On a side note, I find the most interesting MRE's are the ones that have to be heated, whether flameless or flame. If I was on patrol, I'd want a hot meal when it's time to eat. Just my 2 cents.....................

[@AdamsYoutubeAccount]

I love how he added in the clip where he dries off the tray

[@traviswellington1278]

Custard is its own thing, it would be wrong to lump it in with a "pudding" or "dessert". Custard is the dream for sure... would be interesting to try the MRE and compare it to fresh made custard which is possibly something you can't do since you're unfamiliar with custard? Oh and Whittakers is one of our best chocolates in NZ.

[@matteframe]

Calm down, custard boy

[@michellehaywood9781]

I love these Videos!.. So educational and i love the sounds from handling the packaging so satisfying..😊..Thank you for your Informative videos and stay kind..Bless you Steve..🤗☺

[@Tj-qn5mc]

That little jingle when you tapped the spoon after mixing the blue drink.. Nice!

[@android16B]

Your voice and videos are so calming. I watch a few of them before bed every night and they manage to help me get to sleep. :)

[@rdeez5974]

Yes! I love how much more often you've been uploading Steve, keep it up! It would be awesome if you got to a point where you could consistently upload on a schedule. like every Friday or something?

[@romanobattista8901]

If you watched this and disliked you really need to access your life....how can you not love Steve

[@JeffSyam]

I didn't realize Lockheed Martin has a culinary division :-)

[@andrewsmactips]

They also make wigs and microwave ovens.

[@TheKing-qr5cm]

Instead of putting out his social media on his description the guy literally gives shout outs i love this guy 10/10 KZbinr keep it up Steve

[@davidpbauer]

Liking the musical way Steve bangs the spoon on the glass after stirring, always gets at least two tones.

[@ThePitofSidLord]

I'm disappointed that a New Zealand MRE didn't have Chocolate Fish or Pinky Bar, Hokey Pokey flavoured desert, or even a Cookie Time cookie in it. I don't know if they make powdered L&P but that should be the drink. Glad to see the chocolate is Whittakers, though.

[@_Junkers]

ThePitofSidLord I'm pretty certain the cabin bread was Huntley and palmers and the main dish was watties big eat.

[@vermontvampyre]

Hokey pokey? ...thats a kid dance in america xD

[@ThePitofSidLord]

Hokey Pokey Ice Cream is vanilla ice cream with small chunks of crunchy honeycomb toffee in it. Hokey Pokey was what Ice Cream was commonly called back in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

[@thetoiletinspector6878]

I would've liked some pineapple lumps.

[@batt3ryac1d]

Needs a cookie time for sure. So these Americans can try a proper chocolate chip "cookie"

[@xtiantormes4577]

lockheed martin with their aircrafts, even the flameless ration heater sounds like a jet engine 3:56

[@jessejuliano8056]

NZ defence get some great rations. I've had a few and they have all been mouth-watering and delicious. The stuff they had in the 90's was even better(although canned). I remember eating a lamb and pea stew back then and it was the best thing I had tasted in my life.

[@DMac51147]

This ration looked amazing especially that entree and custard! I hope you enjoyed eating it as much as I enjoyed watching it!

[@kaketv2225]

I watch these when eating sometimes and it makes me want to start dissecting each flavor the food has like Steve does haha I love these keep it up!

[@sotonrich]

I always have my custard cold. Steve you're a true connoisseur!

[@Steve1989MRE]

It was perfect just the way it was there - I feel like heating it would have been interesting, but detracting for the somewhat refreshing and light sweetness. That stuff was on point!

[@boocrafty]

At 5:38 the drink on the top left reminds me of nuke cola quantum

[@Steve1989MRE]

It really has the look - minus the rads.

[@themechanic5877]

Let there be rations - for each and everyone

[@elranchitostudio5463]

Hey Steve, big fan of your work. I love how you get into detail about how these MREs taste. I'm curious though, how do you feel after eating these Mres? What type of effect do they have on you physically and mentally?

[@signs80]

Dang Steve I remember when you were at ~7k subscribers! Congrats on the 400k and this video is pretty.... Nice!

[@floydvaughn9666]

Love the way these patrol rations, including First Strike, are mainly stuff you'd pick up at a gas station on the way to a trail or Walmart.

[@braydenh190]

I think sticky is taking your signature spoon tap

[@Steve1989MRE]

That's okay - I've known Sticky since the beginning - he can make some spoon jingles if he wishes. Makes me want to see what he can whip up in sound.

[@Jixijenga]

Steve1989MREInfo if I ever start making videos I intend on doing something like that, crediting you as the original of course. Don't know what I'd be putting out there, but I had the idea when I accidentally dropped a handful of ball bearings and they had neat tones. _"Not bad,"_ I said to myself since they didn't go too far.

[@AgentTasmania]

I don't think remotely relevant or individual comments are permitted around here. All you are allowed to comment is "nice", "it's *upload time in your time zone*" and an erroneous "first".

[@bushman2549]

just in time too watch a guy eat some food. NICE

[@quickscopeoneeighty9158]

I guess New Zealand's food is produced different from America's, where its mandatory to have 75% of what you're eating be either sugar or corn syrup.

Only the US uses HFCS because of subsidies for US corn manufacturing corporations. That shit is toxic.

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

5:14 Steve: it has quite the blue glow to it. Me: Nuka Cola Quantum anyone?
