MRE Review: 2013 Menu No.19 Beef Patty, Jalapeno Pepper Jack

[@gschultz9]

It always amazes me how as soon as I post a video there is always almost instantaneously a dislike. Maybe I should feel flattered that some troll feels so strongly about hating my videos that he/she is dedicated to the mission of disliking the video ASAP? It can't be easy to be that committed to such a miserable cause.

[@cookiekill27]

You know what they say gschultz9 kill Em with kindness 👍 by the way great review (:👍

[@gschultz9]

Josue Montes It's about all I can do. Thank you!

[@ItsTacoBae]

its probably other people who do MRE reviews but arent as popular as you are lol

[@gundog4314]

Miscellaneous smeazyjr Yep, I bet it's Kiwi Dude LOL!!! Just kidding!

[@gundog4314]

What ya gonna do? I never really saw the need for Likes/Dislikes since the whole point of YT is to "View" a vid. Anyhoo...another tip for those of you trying this ration is chop up the patty in the bag, tear a wheat snack bread up to tiny pieces and dump them in the bag. Those pieces absorb all the yummy goodness and take the edge off the spicyness. There othere snack bread get the cheese for a different texture. Good stuff as always G! Cheers

[@ziomorph]

I don't really understand my attraction to these worse-than-airplane-food entrees but I really want to eat these every day...

[@aserta]

Actually these are miles ahead of airplane food, especially considering the appalling standards of airplane food. Sometimes they taste like a brick but you get your calories and what you need so they do what they are mean without being astronaut food (they get the short stick).

[@RonM.]

Yeah i also wanna eat or taste these to!

[@sandyleung7783]

I don't know why but I think I'd seriously watch you review anything. The way you structure your videos are like amazing, I think you make anything interesting and well reviewed.

[@gschultz9]

Sandy Leung Thank you for the kind words Sandy!

[@Kanekals]

I like to call these videos Military Grade ASMR

[@daniblabla709]

Meal, Ready to Enhance auditory experience

[@Greenmachine305]

No disrespect intended, but your mre review vids are ASMR masterpieces. Thanks to you, I have a foolproof way of falling asleep. This improves my quality of life immensely. Thankyou, from the bottom of my heart.

[@rockyraab8290]

Great job as always. I have a Menu 19 in my own inventory, and I'm eager to enjoy it. To those who haven't had one, MREs have come a LONG way in the past few years. Early ones could be pretty dismal, but the Army does listen and does care about the food our troops get. Also keep in mind that MREs are not the only chow troops get Most meals are served in a mess hall or from a field kitchen. MREs are for use only when soldiers can't get their regular fare. I use mine for fishing trips and such - which is a direct parallel to how soldiers use them. For that use, they're pretty darn good!

[@Andovarius]

Happy Thanksgiving, gschultz9! I am very thankful for your interesting videos throughout the year. Have some relaxing fun tomorrow. I hope your wife doesn't make freeze dried MRE turkey for the family...

[@LaythKamal]

Haha lol

[@gschultz9]

Andovarius Thank you, and I hope you had a good Thanksgiving too!

[@EmberEagle]

Surprised they don't add in extra toilet paper to the spicy MRE.

[@ElChukky.]

Wait that’s toilet paper? I thought it was a napkin in mines I got mnms peanut and yeah every thing else he got

[@nasjiaglenn1869]

That oatmeal cookie would have made the perfect cobbler spoon!

[@NerfLime117]

Great vid! It's good to see some fresh MRE's being reviewed. You got lucky with your twin pack. My bread was stuck together so I couldn't make a burger out of mine.

[@Ch3f_B01_RD]

I love watching these and i really don't know why

[@YarHarFD]

Just ate an updated version of this menu item. They have since changed it to include tortillas instead of wheat snack bread and instant coffee II instead of the cocoa. They adjusted the recipe for the cookie in the cobbler and it’s mostly TFF. My FRH got hot enough to heat all components in two batches. I picked this one to “thin the herd” and almost regret it. It was a good one.

[@Sebastian-mh5ob]

I wanna ask a question,I don't know if you made a video of this but,have you ever made Mexican mres,well if there is,just wanna know

[@MrKannon9]

My friend just gave me a bunch of MRE's for my birthday and this is one that she gave me

[@ElChukky.]

My sister bf got me 2 and this is one I got

[@SigShooter9mm]

Wow, that beef patty looks exactly like a Banquet meal called Salisbury Steak. I'd still try this one. Great video. :P

[@bjornthefellhanded5655]

Salisbury Stake is a Name for Hamburger Patties from around the time just before WW1 when there was alot of Anti-German sentiment Propaganda

[@HawkXe]

one of my favorite MREs ever, no matter what it would always fill you up when you're hungry!

[@Solaaris1]

That looks the best entree so far in a MRE. Yum!

[@666gabi666]

Great video as always! Lve the way you narrate, cut and edit the vid. Cheers!

[@gschultz9]

emakma savas Thank you!

[@6663000]

no pepper?

[@MrHansta]

Since the beverage powder is lemonade, does it make it fizzy or does it just take like flat lemonade

[@SkaBootRudeboy909]

Thank you for what you do. Your reviews give me a sense of nostalgia. And a stomach ache lol HOOAH

[@darkmoonlady2002]

Love your videos,, you inspired my husband and I to get some MRE's at out local Army/Navy store and take some trips to local parks and eat lunch in nature! He isn't a fan of the food quality but some are pretty good and its fun too! Keep up the good work and don't let the trolls bug you.

[@RyanWolf92]

Looks like a good menu, surprised you didn't try some of the cobbler on the oatmeal cookie

[@hayMateyha]

wow i don't know how i found your video. So completely different to what i watch but its weirdly interesting. i actually like it. :) you got another subscriber

[@HylianRat]

I love you're videos, can't wait for another!

[@dn7685]

I haven't seen every one of your videos, but it seems like you like most of the stuff you eat. Are there any foods you can't stand to eat?

[@Jaybird196]

I'm STILL amazed he ate the chicken feta... o_O .

[@ThePerfectAdventure]

what does meal ready to eat stand for

[@HolyHamburgerHands]

+AlphaLope lol....

[@Zer0_L1ves]

+AlphaLope It means meals that are cooked and packed all ready to consume without the need to cook it. Because cooking in the field is a pain in the ass, furthermore lighting a fire to cook is a bad idea, that's as good as telling ur enemy, i'm over here., come bombard me. Hence MREs are introduced.

[@cyz119]

Could you eat this all the time to survive? +

[@vannguyen-t]

Your cookie breaking technique is evidently perfect

[@Architect172]

gschultz9 what grade whould you give this meal, also whould you recomend this meal to a winter expedition ? the callories are pretty good think.

[@residentroofkorean]

so is the flameless heater the primary reason that an mre has an advertised shelf life of just 5 years?

[@brelovestacos]

Jonathan Kim I think it's because the food is freeze dried

[@natemarchand67]

Hello, do you know where i could get one of these?

[@nicholasgolden8850]

where do you get these things

[@laweris18]

Is there any MRE or something like that in the mexican army?? Thanks!

[@TheNonGirlieGirl]

Man I wish we had cobbler when I was in! We did have an orange dreamsicle cookie that was pretty bomb though

[@OmarGOrli]

QuirkyBookChick OO

[@Lazyboy230]

anyone know where i can get a MRE? my uncle has a bunch but he wont give me any😐

[@Delveaux]

I want to try them myself. Is there a way where i can order them? Do they ship to Europe?

[@jameshazen7433]

Do you alll share the same rock or is there a standard rock or something?

[@carrotfacts]

Awesome video! Just bought an XMRE after seeing your review and it's pretty authentic.

[@awsomehobbies]

Hello brother!

[@Spetznas82]

Watched this and then ate the same mre. Really good!

[@fyremanjef]

So. As a mre/ prepared burger. Would you pick this or the burger in a can that you also reviewed? I’m assuming this wins. But having just watched both of your reviews. Would you pick canned or bagged?

[@Gamer11-Channel]

where can i buy one at?

[@jackiehoward7300]

Why are there no forks in an MRE?

[@deandrew5554]

Forks are dangerous

[@jackiehoward7300]

Thanks

[@daniblabla709]

+Deandre W I mean, if you get attacked while eating and don't have time to grab your gun you're gonna have a hard time defending yourself with a plastic spoon...

[@PREPFORIT]

Thank you for all these reviews Mre.s are crazy expensive here. and good luck finding an "assorted " option.

[@Rangersly]

I would have scrumbled the oatmeal cooking into the fruit cobbler, or spread the fruits on the cookie. Hamburger is my favorite food, so I hope to get my hands on one of those.

[@jamesschiff7566]

When the MRE will expire??

[@gavinthegamer1372]

This is my first video watching you and I love it.keep on making MREs because this was my first MRE but mine came with coffee fruit punch nut trail mix

[@mariorodas9025]

how do you get these?

[@Ya_Boi_Mateo]

Were do you get the mres?

[@elizabethshaw734]

Spaetzle, pronounced schpets lee, is a very small German dumpling which is passed through a sieve into boiling water and is made of flour eggs and the like. Birdseye still sells the green beans with bacon and spaetzle should you really wish to see and or taste these little dumplings. I'm making them by hand at home and they are absolutely yummy with some butter and salt and pepper. You can find a mix in the store to make them at home if anyone is interested and is never made these dumplings before. 😀

[@superhavi]

Thanks for the review. Bought a N#19 recently, because of it. Tasted really nice, so I'll try buy some more (It's complicated to get them here in Germany).

[@TheReZisTLust]

superhavi whats the N for? if it stands for number the pound sign already does thst

[@sharonmaurer2882]

Great review. That was some amazing burger:) well done.

[@gschultz9]

Thank you!

[@sharonmaurer2882]

You are so welcome:)

[@biggiecheeseworshipper5476]

You should do a video of all the MRE accessories you have gotten over the years.

[@F4FireAndSecurity]

curtis nguyen it might be boring as it is a load of FRH's and hot beverage bags

[@tickytickus1485]

Man...this is looking really good right about now. Where'd ya find this, gschultz9?

[@ThunderPaladin]

I like how informative you are.

[@surfingsumo]

Can you microwave any of the entree and/or spread?

[@gschultz9]

surfingsumo I'm sure you could--as long as you take them out of the retort pouches first! The pouches contain some metal foil layers and a microwave probably wouldn't be too happy about that!

[@ADAMBOY86]

Hi how's it going. I was just wondering if you could help me out and tell me a forum I could go to trade MRE with people. Or somewhere where I can buy them. I am looking for MRE from Japan, New Zealand, England, Germany. I live in Canada ... Thank you so much for all your help thanks and have a great day.

[@Folsomdsf2]

the beverage bases that htey have in the small packets like this are iirc exactly the same thing as the crystal light singles with a different colored and written package.

[@mInEcRaFtIsAwEs0Me]

Where do u get your mres?

[@rrainworld]

Why did they stop putting matches in MREs?

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

+xZEHRBEHRx No cigarettes for one and you do have a flameless ration heater so they figure it was kinda useless to include matches.

[@mitchbrewster2255]

They are putting matches in fewer mres to save money

[@RyanDow4]

Greetings! How would someone go about sending you an MRE style package from their country? Cheers

[@gschultz9]

RyanDow4 Hello RyanDow. They usually start by sending me a PM (Personal Message) here at the channel, and we take it from there! The biggest problem is usually the shipping prices, which can get VERY high for sending something like that internationally.

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

Did anyone else see the dehydrated catsup? I have not seen it spelled that way in a good while.

[@SubieSpecial]

First time I've seen pencil packets of ketchup and mustard.

[@MaartenvanRossemLezingen]

Why they put it in French on there too? Do they use these in the Canadian army as well? I think Spanish would make more sense.

[@rachelabraham4533]

I've been to Canada ever since i was probably in the womb, and in cananda, the main language is french, not english, even though kids are taught English in schools, and especially not Spanish. So yes they especially do that on canada

[@MaartenvanRossemLezingen]

Rachel Abraham That really depends where you are in Canada... Besides this is an AMERICAN meal.

[@chadmorgan7976]

+dapperedavid I wondered that as well...why in the world French?

[@drdestructo1112]

+Detroit Tigers (D.T.) You got it in one! The two official languages of NATO are English and French. By putting French on the label, the meals are NATO compliant and can be sold/shipped to ALL NATO countries (or rather their militaries).

[@MaartenvanRossemLezingen]

Chad Morgan Maybe it sounds gourmet?

[@andrewporter7280]

What is cobbler?

[@Jaybird196]

It is a type of pie.

[@JonnyBadmoon]

Your meal tray is the same style used by my elementary school from back in the day. Same color too.

[@MaxWorldTech]

Really interesting that they put spaetzle in cobbler as it's usually a noodle! Pretty imaginative.

[@Kodiak40oz]

If you wanted to have hot cocoa instead, you can actually put the cocoa pouch into the FRH directly, hence no Hot Beverage Bag

[@GhostTrueCapitalist]

It's very interestin' to see what rations soldiers eat on the field. Still... this isn't enough calories to keep a soldier goin'... How many of these is a soldier allowed to carry? Also... subscribed. :)

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

+HavocKitsune It is for one meal,havoc.

[@blackburgundy1659]

does he finish eating off camera? or throws them away

[@RumerPriestly]

+FlamingHansol I dunno, he tried his best to finish the omelet and said he enjoys all of them except the omelet, plus they aren't cheap. I reckon he finishes them!

[@RumerPriestly]

After trying his burger as a sandwich he said he'd finish this one off with a spoon, so there's your answer c;

[@FromPillartoPost]

Interesting to note that the "crust" of the cobbler is a type of noodle called Spatzle which is actually a Russian type of noodle. I got this in a MRE a while back and while the fruit was good the "crust" was not.

[@superhavi]

Spätzle are swabian (and therefore german) noddles.

[@booma2449]

man I wish that the commercial MREs came with desserts like this one

[@goodi2shooz]

Being a subscriber and fan of many mre reviewers, and watching many reviews and seeing many struggles with packaging, I have to ask: do you all have some aversion to opening things with scissors? ??? They work amazingly well.

[@Folsomdsf2]

Most MRE's are meant to be self contained with no items needed other than water from a persons canteen or bottle. It's part of their function to test how it works without use of scissors/knives even with the packaging.

[@christianuribe8641]

Hello everyone i'm looking to buy some MREs, but i'm 13 and don't know what to look for when buying one. I only want to buy a MRE because I want to be a Marine when I get older, so I want to try the food they have to eat while overseas.

[@jesusridingabike]

Check out your local army-navy store

[@robertdillard7038]

Keep it up! I like ur vids man

[@carsonstephens956]

Hey +gshultz9 I was at Wal-Mart just a little bit ago and I saw the freeze dried rations for a low price

[@gschultz9]

Carson Stephens Cool! Did you pick anything up?

[@DCRiley]

gschultz9 Big fan of these videos, man. Always very interesting to see what they jam into these MREs--both military/civilian units. Keep them coming!

[@koukogakusha]

Spaetzl are like thick, heavy German egg noodles, they are often served as part of savory dishes as well.. the cobler... I guess it's because you can't really make a biscuit dough crust in an MRE pouch haha!

[@drdestructo1112]

+Karnack IMO he meant Streusel not Spaetzl.

[@topheftyr533]

Awesome review, great work. But you really dont like spicy food do you? :D

[@gschultz9]

No, not particularly. I prefer flavor to heat.

[@wattmanforever]

Does it taste as good as it looks? (lol)

[@wavecreatures]

Great review G!

[@gschultz9]

Phil Steadman Thank you Phil!

[@julieverma322]

I would love to have a chance to try that

[@danielvo3563]

13:46 Catsup?

[@krispykrep912]

What the hell is a cobbler?

[@gavcobob]

I think this is the best mre available

[@Rubenthebudderderp]

I really like your videos it so educational if there is ever an apocalypse I will find you and I will take your mre's

[@陳冠翔-c3c]

I like your videos very much!

[@SpicyDorito96]

I tried this and I dont care much for spicy food but this tasted pretty good

[@wmr0225]

This is the first MRE video I've watched on my new computer

[@devonevans]

No pepper what the heck!

[@NotTheRookie]

I ate a 2017 menu 19 the other day and it was a disappointment. It came with tortillas, not the snack bread. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE A BURGER WITH TORTILAS?!

[@ChocoYGO]

they really should make a shelf stable hamburger bun like the canadian IMPs have. would make eating some foods much easier and more pleasant

[@AceadamUK]

7 usd for an mre wow there well costly here in the UK. for a meal its about 15usd lol

[@Warcrime_]

Have a good thanksgiving good sir.

[@gschultz9]

***** Same to you warcrime.

[@lancerevell5979]

Seems like more MREs should include mustard & ketchup, as they are shelf stable, not needing refridgeration.

[@michaelridgdell2616]

+gchhultz9 first have you ever done a review on the pork sausage in cream gravy and would you like to try one for a mcw I have never had one

[@gschultz9]

I have done a number of reviews of the Pork Sausage Patty, but no, I have never reviewed (or even tried for that matter) the Pork Sausage in Cream Gravy. Hopefully one of these days...

[@michaelridgdell2616]

+gschultz9 if you would like I have two I can send you one

[@michaelridgdell2616]

+Michael Ridgdell not mre mcw sorry

[@gschultz9]

Wow, if you're willing to send one along I'd absolutely love to try it out and review it! Please send me a PM and we can take it from there. Thank you Michael!

[@michaelridgdell2616]

+gschultz9 ok but how do u send a private message on here sorry I'm new to this

[@thecman26]

This looks like a very good meal!

[@BenjaminGessel]

I've never understood the fascination with cheese... :D ...Yes, it has calcium and vitamin D, also some Vitamin A, yes, it is calorie dense... I can see why it factors in pretty heavily in MRE's... A lot of MRE's seem to revolve around beef, chicken, wheat, peanut butter and cheese... Beans, pork, chocolate and potatoes come up here and there of course, along with the wet pack fruit and electrolyte beverage powders being very common as well... I know I'm kind of talking to the wrong guy here, but, has the military thought about including foods/featuring food more prominently, like avocado, turkey, bison, egg, spinach, broccoli, hummus, lentils, wild rice, brown rice, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, cashews, cashew butter, walnuts, yogurt, berries, quinoa, and sweet potato? Also, even more potato than at present, chorizo, adzuki beans, banana, olives, collards, oats, corn, green beans, peas, even something like corned beef-its getting into that bacon/unhealthier range, yeah, but man, corned beef seems to fit right into this stuff, very calorie dense, tasty, satisfying, protein, etc...? Some of this stuff is pricy, yeah... Turkey, more beans, green beans, more spinach and broccoli, lentils, potatoes, hummus, corn, and avocado/guacamole should all be givens... I still think corned beef would be a hit too... :)

[@OutgrownThings]

Are you Canadian, gschultz9? I've been watching your videos for a while and only now just noticed that you pronounce "about" as "abooat" and "out" as "oaaat." xD

[@gschultz9]

Daniel Varney Really? I never knew I pronounced about and out like that. Now I'll probably be very self-conscious when I say them in the future! No, I'm not from Canada. I'm actually from New England.

[@dennisn1672]

Almost eight dollars for that. I think Mc Donalds would be cheaper. It lasts forever to.
