Of all the rations you go through, I really love the European rations (and some of the middle eastern/ Asian ones too), they just all seem to have cool and unique items that are regionally distinct and actually look delicious.

So many great ideas! I am always looking for cool new things for my own emergency rations

[@adambroussard5146]

I think part of that is because somewhere along the line some officer looked at what privates were eating when they weren't at the DFAC and saw all the gas station food they were eating and went "Oh, okay, so this garbage, got it...as long as they eat it...."

I do notice that the Anglo countries like more sweets in their rations. I suppose a long term effect of the Victorian love of sweets spreading out across the old empire.

"Lit" in French means "bed".

[@inwedavid6919]

The recipe with beans and saussage is from Toulouse, a city in the south of France. A traditional recipe from there.

[@johnr797]

Lol he said "it's probably Toulouse sausage" in the video

[@inwedavid6919]

@@johnr797 Yes, just a precision, it is and they have a good reputation of quality sausage in France.

STEVE! Glad to have you back buddy definitely made my day to see ur videos again

[@SuperMaxiiiiii]

"this is really up there when it comes to ration pate"

[@maxmatson1578]

Good to have you back bro!👍 dig the new haircut to! plus dig the new editing style when you're zoomed in on the coffee.... nice!👌✌

[@Mr1bigbaddaddy]

Welcome back Steve! Glad to see another couple videos! 👍👍

[@inevitable48]

Made the mistake of watching 1 video late at night. Now I've been here days and know way too much about military rations. Your delivery and video layout is pretty much perfect. Pretty cool content.

[@kriegguardsman9117]

Me: Oh cool a can of gray gelatinous meat stuff... yum? Steve: Oh my look at that marbling, it’s so gourmet.

[@tonifran9533]

Try the grey stuff, it’s delicious

[@ObsoleteVodka]

The gelatin is just colagen from some bones, the worst thing that can do to you is making your skin smoother.

[@dufimaxi]

Paté is not very appetizing as is but if you put it on bread it's delicious. Kind of like a cheap version of foie gras.

[@blitzhill9533]

It's just how it's supposed to be and it's good. In France we eat it like that : baguette and paté or terrine and red wine, you can't have anything better than that, you can add some good french cheese if you want too.

[@kriegguardsman9117]

Necramonium Nice!

[@eathennguyen6411]

I love watching your videos it’s like another type of asmr

[@matrielle]

When I was growing up in the early 90's, the montblanc cream was a really common dessert at home and school canteens it was either vanilla or chocolate. The two main brands were Danette and Montblanc. I guess for people growing up in the 80's and 90's it can be considered as what you call confort food. The same thing can be said for the fruits jelly bars often served as afternoon snack in after school care.

[@34.FB.34]

On se lève tous pour Danette

[@francisreicherf3544]

Steve! Me n the fellas in my American Wars class love watching your videos! We eat MREs in class sometimes for fun and your content has helped us all bond, thank you for the memories!

[@robertcainjr.7627]

As always, good vid! Makes me want to eat an MRE every time I watch one of your videos! Nice job.

[@stephenmurray2299]

I love watch theses videos. One thing I learned from these videos is that many countries are way head of the US when it comes to MRE’s. I tried some British and South Korean MRE’s when I was in the Army and they were always better

[@kritsadventures]

Steve, you're back! I'm so excited for this review.

[@attackhelicopterjr4481]

he protecc he attacc but most importantly he is bacc and gonna eat the snacc

[@Airfighterdude]

Had us worried that that last PLA ration was the last meal there steve. Glad your back! Love ur vids!

[@Itchybiscuit]

In Scotland we would call that vanilla dessert, ‘custard’. Thanks for your vids. :)

[@Nikp117]

@pablo just pablo Doesn't really have anything to do with our education system, kind of just cultural preference. But yeah, go off dumbass

[@amadeus484]

I was pretty much taught that if it is thickened with egg, it's a custard and if it is thickened with starch, it's a pudding. Probably an American thing.

[@monarchocapitalist1488]

@pablo just pablo where'd you get any of that info from?

[@geekw.4758]

@pablo just pablo i gotta know where you got any of that info from, and what it has to do with education

[@Orangefan77]

@pablo just pablo That's... not even 1/3 accurate.

[@rkmugen]

Also, if the char on the tin isn't too black, you can add some water to it while the fuel tab is lit and you can de-glaze it with the water and a flat piece of wood (don't use metal or plastic). Once de-glazed, you can add it back to the main (stir it in) for another boost of flavor.

[@dowen1511]

If you wipe off the lid of the can and flatten it out and put it on the stove under the can it will reduce the burning of the food . my dad taught me that trick.

[@MujdAddin]

Bon, mettons ça sur un plateau. Agréable!

[@theortheo2401]

Nice try buddy, as a french, it's appreciated!

[@joea.9969]

Vincent Martin ¿Qué dices, Señor?

[@hyppoliterat9669]

"Well, we put it on a plate. Pleasant !"

[@065moe]

Śûç

[@homebody0089]

Glad to see you back, man. I was really worried after seeing you mess with that Chinese mre ration. ration. Please be safe doing these, we worry about you man.

[@GrayderFox]

Goddamn. Morel mushrooms? Aren't those wild? They're eating well over there.

[@heatea5255]

Yes they are but we find them quite easily here in France you can buy them in every store here

[@sfwcommenting]

I traded for about half a duffle's worth of these this year during a joint NATO exercise, came home and now I can live my dream of doing a Steve1989 MRE eat along

[@theortheo2401]

I hope you're still enjoying it !

[@theortheo2401]

Oh and by the way, thank you for your service ! (don't know where you're from but your an ally of France for sure !)

[@skeetsmcgrew3282]

That is the most ridiculous measurement of a food stuff I've ever heard. From now on, whenever someone asks me how much food I want, I'm going to say "About half a duffle's worth."

[@rm3948]

I'm sitting here eating an off brand pop tart thinking to myself, "I should join the French Army."

[@toryknotts8026]

Nothing wrong with an off brand pop tart! To me they seem better than the brand name ones. Although some flavors don't taste good regardless if it's brand name or off brand

[@dankery1]

Getting a pate with MOREL MUSHROOMS, along side a duck and sausage entree. So luxurious for a ration.

[@mmuralhaa]

if I had to choose an MRE pack to eat for a while, I would choose the french they have some pretty sophisticated goodies, fire its easy with that stove that it comes and that pudding looks to be delicious any way good video keep up with those reviews

[@gillesboileau2327]

He should be on the food network....his explanation on the food he ears is spot on

[@gillesboileau2327]

Eats.....oops

[@PerceivetoSuffer]

STEVE FUCKING RULES. This youtube channel and the simple love a man can have for military rations gives me hope for humanity.

[@JohnWicksPencil14]

Always such a treat to see a new upload from Steve

[@BeautyMonster1000]

I live for Steve's uploads! :D

[@ohmyblindman]

For all you geniuses making jokes about the French army: The UK War Office in 1922 estimated French losses as 1,385,300 dead and missing, including 58,000 colonial soldiers. The U.S. War Department in 1924 estimated 1,357,800 killed and died. So have some respect.

[@moorshound3243]

I love all French rations, those puddings are the best. Needs a whole 3 matches to light a fuel block in perfect windless conditions love it haha!

[@googiegress]

I wonder if it might be better to break the block into two, like what happened with his, and lean them together, and insert the lit match between. Then when it's lit, nudge them to spread them apart for a little more even cooking. Like, if you were starting a campfire, you wouldn't throw the match on top of the kindling. You'd be throwing several matches, at least.

[@shanek6582]

Looks like most foreign MRE manufacturers just go to the grocery store and pick stuff off the shelves.

[@JackClayton123]

Studies have shown the food seems to have more psychological appeal when it’s in commercial packaging. At least, in Canada, that’s what was found.

[@amak1131]

Was thinking the same thing. Looks more like a lunch box for a hiking trip someone packed.

[@elia.8993]

They look better than the highly processed junk from US mres.

[@MikeBenko]

Well, considering that most other militaries are significantly smaller than the US military, it is most likely cheaper to use commercial suppliers rather than manufacture separately just for a military contract.

[@Onewheelordeal]

@@JackClayton123Makes total sense especially considering the solid drab colors always used

[@uncleouchy324]

Thank you Steve more material for late nights and I can't sleep Nice
