Ration Review: 2017 US MRE Meal Ready To Eat, Menu 1 Chili With Beans

[@SuperDr1ven]

Great job. I love the way you're doing the speed ups and transitions.

[@pete_review]

Gday Mate, i do everything i can do to make the shortest video possible, all killer no filler as they say, tight cuts with no boring bits speed up slow sections ect, glad you appreciate my editing efforts, cheers

[@vipergtsmre]

The cornbread is one of the best sides IMO. Glad you enjoyed this classic.

[@pete_review]

Thanks viper, it really was fantastic, definitely one of the best, cheers mate

[@muldur3235]

The dramatic music had me on the edge of my seat!

[@pete_review]

Thanks Mulder, I thought I would mix up the audio, glad you liked it, cheers

[@thisandthatwithmatt]

I love that menu. Such a classic. Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@pete_review]

Thanks Matt, glad ya liked it. Cheers

[@dennisvandermarkt8263]

Great as always. A little bottle of Tabasco or the jalapeño cheese. But luck of the draw. South US they sometimes put jalapeño in the corn bread. Keep em coming Pete

[@funyunmaker3182]

We also add some cheddar cheese to the cornbread 😋

[@pete_review]

Thanks Dennis, glad you enjoyed the video, I have heaps more for you in the future. Cheers mate.

[@davidlynnprepperprincipal3540]

Nice review! Thank you for sharing. Blessings 🙏🏼👍🏼

[@pete_review]

Thanks David glad you liked the video.

[@WomanTakenBytheWind]

This was actually really helpful. I was looking for meals I could take on a plane that don’t contain wheat and there are almost no MRE’s that don’t have tons of wheat in them. I might just have to try the chili. Great review.

[@pete_review]

G'day glad you found some value in my videos, the mres are high in carbs, I really enjoyed this menu one of my favourites, cheers

[@WomanTakenBytheWind]

@@pete_review i got to try the chili with beef and beans and it was very good and didn’t make me sick!

[@ytMFOS]

I like those little details in the video editing itself. You know what I'm talking about.

[@pete_review]

G'day mate, I spend a lot of hours editing my videos, each video can take 10+ hours, thanks for noticing though, cheers mate

[@ytMFOS]

I have been doing media as a profession for more than 15 years. I notice such things and can appreciate them.

[@RoSR]

Agreed

[@tracyphillips3325]

@@ytMFOS , yikes, I just make a video and upload it, start to finish including uploading about an hour. But I know mine are pretty simple.

[@ytMFOS]

Small things in videos can accomplish a lot. Transitions between clips, sound quality, lighting and angles.

[@RoSR]

This is in my opinion, the best one out there. I just can't let spaghetti hear me say that. Killer review Pete!

[@pete_review]

Thanks mate, I agree it's one of the better mre's for sure, cheers

[@tracyphillips3325]

Hi Peter. This is a pretty good menu. I like the cornbread, but not in chili. Crackers for me. The cornbread is sweet, so I just eat it by itself. Glad you like the cornbread. Beans in chili, that's the way to have it. Not spicy, that's the best. Combo's in chili, with the cheese and crackers is delicious. Great review buddy. Take care and have a great day.

[@pete_review]

G'day Tracy, Yes I think this is one of the better rations I have tried, apart from menu 20 which has the blueberry musli which is absolutely awesome, but that corn bread is pretty awesome also. A really good all round ration in deed. Thanks Tracy, Take care mate

[@johnsmre2852]

Hi Pete. Awesome review. That corn bread looks so good take care my friend

[@pete_review]

G'day John. It really was that good. I wish there was one in each mre. Thanks for watching, cheers pete

[@csr870]

One of the most dependable mres always decent great review pete

[@pete_review]

Thanks Chris, I agree it really was a great mre, cheers mate

[@RoSR]

This is my very favorite duo. Chili and sweet cornbread. About 3 times a week, I make this at home. Winning combo!

[@pete_review]

G'day, yes I agree the cornbread is awesome, like a sweet corn cake, and the main is pretty decent as well. Cheers mate

[@PaulBuikema]

Good fun Pete. Thorough look through and a decent looking meal indeed.

[@pete_review]

G'day Paul, Glad you liked it, it really was a good mre. Cheers

[@ricklane8554]

That MRE is a succes, a real treat. The components were my favorite too 🙂

[@pete_review]

Gday Rick yes a real good ration in deed, Cheers Mate

[@belindaburns7520]

Looked so good, all components.

[@pete_review]

Thanks Belinda, glad you liked it. It really was a pretty good ration, cheers pete

[@truckermre]

I had one of these last week out of a TOTM. Love this menu!!!

[@pete_review]

G'day CT, thanks for checking out one of my videos. I agree it really is one of the nicest mres, that corn bread is sensational. Thanks for watching Cheers mate

[@truckermre]

@@pete_review I didn’t realize you did videos until I had a suggestion pop up lol. Subscribed now!! Haha

[@pete_review]

@C T Thanks man, that is the hardest part if youtube is getting noticed, we are all victims of the dreaded algorithm. If only it would promote everyone fairly. Ok thats enough winging, cheers

Very nice!! 😆👍I want a chili hot dog now!

[@pete_review]

Thanks spicy..

[@funyunmaker3182]

This one was and still is my favorite ration just not when I had LP for the night the old butt trumpet was playing loud with this one 😅. Nice review Pete much respect and love from the US.

[@pete_review]

G'day mate, yes its a pretty good mre for sure, quite a nice main and a awesome cornbread. Cheers mate 🇦🇺

[@leehart9055]

Good afternoon from the Great State of Texas. As I watch your video, I have a pot of chili cooking in the kitchen. Your chili looked good and I bet it was easier to fix than my chili. Have a good day and be safe.

[@pete_review]

G'day Lee, I bet it didn't taste as good as yours. Thanks for watching. Cheers

[@leodanryan966]

Here in Texas, we break up our cornbread in our chili. Not mre chili necessarily. It's just how we do it.

[@pete_review]

That sounds lovely, next time I make it from scratch ill give it a go, thanks for watching my video, cheers.

[@EatsTreatsMREs]

i also prefer the veggie crackers, not as dry don't think and a nicer flavour. Great review!

[@pete_review]

Thanks Su, yes they do taste better for sure, thanks for watching, cheers mate

[@MultiMagnum62]

Very cool Mate. This one of the simplest meals, however, very popular here. I appreciate your knowledge. You knew if double packaging, Ameriqual did it. Most would miss that. Very solid components. Combos, are what we call them as well. I see A lot of good food Hopefully, you will enjoy. I know, we are from different continents. I wish to explain something. What, the MRE'S, call cornbread, is not exactly, cornbread. LOL. I have tried, and , it is A lovely snack. I like it. Being from Southern U.S., real cornbread, is , well, savory, or, salty, not sweet. Some do add sugar, I admit. They are wrong, LOL. I enjoy, how you do your reviews, very relaxing to watch. It brightens my day, every time. I wish , my voice, could be as smooth as yours. I just wish, I could get over the stutter, LOL. I am glad, you found A decent meal, courtesy of, U.S.A. , LOL What you said, about the cinnamon gum, at end of review, slightly confuses me. It is not that hard to find over there, is it? I believe you, just, Different cultures , countries, vary. I am blessed to talk to people like you. Australia, Scotland, England, Poland, New Zealand , Croatia, Russia, and many more. I am glad, to have met, and, talked to so many different people and countries. Most , have not had the privilege. I hope, you consider this, A decent meal. I wish to send Peace and Prayers, your way Mate, to you and yours. Awesome review. Peace, John.

[@pete_review]

Thanks John for your comment, I have come a long way in regard to ration knowledge. There are so many rations and so little time. This mre was pretty good, with some great components and a great main. All round really solid mre. I hope everything is good with you and your family. Thanks for your support and comments. Cheers pete

Back researching, upcoming meal. Hope okay Pete. Peace. John.

G'day John yes just taking a break from youtube

[@MultiMagnum62]

@@pete_review , Mate, I know that feeling quite well!! If I get meal, I research again, to see what I have forgotten in my old age, LOL. I have 4, on standby, researching all 4. There are2, new, 1 sort of , civilian, new, and, one old Brown Bag, I have hopes for, but, 1987? vintage, according to friend who sent it. My 1988, was , well, foul, besides coffee and A couple of side items. The 1992, most survived. I do know, this menu, is between , 1981-1987, unsure until I open? No outside date codes back then. Whichever I decide to post, with me luck. Glad to talk to you friend, Peace, John. I did one vintage, last week or so. Any preference?

Glad you see you are impressed with some good old fashioned American slop 😅😅😎

Gday, Mate Yeah this one was actually pretty good, almost tasted home made lol, cheers

Thank you too! Cheers

Great review Pete, cornbread mmm

G'day Sam I hope you are doing well, yes it was more like a cake than a cornbread, but boy it tasted great. Cheers pete

[@camdelong]

Nice review Pete! Least you got to eat this time 🤣

[@pete_review]

Hi Cam, Yes it was pretty decent mre, thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers

[@535tony]

I had a case of 2017 MRE’s. This one was one of my favorites. The chili with macaroni is good too. We had a 2017 beef brisket MRE that was bad though. Either the main or potatoes packet had burst and that ruined the whole thing.

[@pete_review]

Yeah this is a solid mre for sure plus the Chili Mac, which is a great mre menu as well. Happy new year to you Cheers pete

[@patrickmedarac7253]

That is the good stuff !!

Agreed a really good mre

Nice review. Have you tried the Marshmallow caramel crisp bar, recovery bar ? I'd like to see a review on the beef brisket menu.

[@pete_review]

Gday Mike, i have a marshmallow caramel crisp bar, recovery bar, i did a trade with Matt from this and that with matt and he sent me one, I do not have a beef brisket to review, Thanks for watching Cheers

Lol the music

[@pete_review]

Glad you like my tunes, you can tell I don't take my videos too seriously, glad I made ya laugh

[@kevinbaker6168]

Overall a nice filling meal. Too bad they did not pack a cookie or brownie instead of the crackers. A lot of we Yanks like to put cornbread and cheese in our chili with beans, so the meal is very complimentary with each other.

[@pete_review]

G'day Kevin, yes I agree they go together perfectly, that cornbread was awesome in deed, one of the best components in a mre for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting cheers mate
