Anyone else think MREs look super tasty? Never had one, but I'm obsessed about watching MRE review videos

Never had any UK MRE's. I have tried many MRE's from NATO countries. Does it have egg powder or some crap like that? No one has time to heat up their meals to ideal temp.

MRE's are for people who are actually starving. I ate an tortellini MRE once. I could not get over the fact everything tasted like it was made with sawdust or an incredible facsimile.

MRE is an American term. The U.K have ORP and the frogs have RCI.
MRE is specific to the USA military.

U.K. ORP breakfast are generally based around pork and beans or chicken sausage with mushrooms. There's an omelette one but no one eats it, it fucking dire.

Not familiar with the terminology. After working all day, anything that wasn't a US MRE was great. The Tuna one was good and Chili Mac. Gravy and Pesto cheese variants can go to hell.

Gotcha, no omelette.

Nice!

Someday I saw one of his video in my recommended feed and clicked to check it out. Holy crap, this guy's a complete gold mine.

When he talks normally he has a voice in the like of an 80s action movie trailer narrator. When he says "let's get this out on a tray" he suddenly sounds like a jock-stallone-stoner crossover. In his more recent videos he started to edit the "Nice!" into super weird ways that make burst out laughing for no reason. Initially all these things had no face behind them, but once you see him you realize he's a super jacked up dork crossed with Shaggy's long-lost alpha cousin. His dorkyness becomes even more obvious in his WW2 ration videos where he shakes uncontrollably for the whole presentation, the guy's basically experiencing the dream of his life coming true and it's a fucking 70 year old military ration.

I don't know why, but I love this guy's channel. And I don't ever intend on eating a ration.

looks like a still life painting

I'm in the army. Mres aren't too bad. They're basically just a collection of a bunch of different children's food which is good because it doesn't upset your stomach

nice little hiss there

Ate plenty of them in scouts/rotc. They'll keep you moving, but the literal shit jokes are no joke. You will be constipated even if you're hiking 20+ miles a day and drinking a fuckton of water and man my butthole aches thinking about the number of latrines I had to dig and the number of shit tickets I had to use because of MREs.

Eat normal food, you'll be better off.

Check eBay. I've gotten cases (12 meals) of US MREs for $50. They make great camping meals.

New steve is up

Nice. But a 24 hour chili ration sounds like too much of a good thing.

>the cheapest I've found them is about $7 a pop.
Well, they're 1250 calories each. So $14 gets you a full day's worth of food plus a couple bits leftover.

chicken fajetas are where it's at.
I loved when I had to eat them for a few weeks in basic and would get M&Ms

Nice

some are really good and some are mediocre
in my opinion the only one that is absolutely terrible is the asian beef strips, because omelette ones always come with some kind of hot sauce and salt packs that you can use to make them taste ok

huh, no hiss

I'll let you know how MREs are after I enlist later this year. Keep this thread alive for a few months kek

Ranger bars
"army hooah bar"

I remember thinking "oh shit army's version of candy"

I'm not really all the interested in MREs, tried 'em they're ok.
I did however watch a show the making of MREs, it was oddly hypnotic to watch them make a thousand pounds of buttered noodles.

Super jacked up dork? I mean he's got some muscles, but jacked? You must be a twiggy armed little alien necked nerd.

Have you seen the guns he's carrying?

a better question is
>is coffee instant type 2 as good as he says it is

Nah he's kinda jacked especially in recent vids.

tiny babbies

I wouldn't doubt they are all pozzed with carcinogens and other shit that will fuck you up if consume too much of it

I had a binge on these videos today as well. Do that a couple times a month. I used to eat them while camping a couple times as a kid but have been thinking about buying some to have around. I would eat one right now in fact.

I would really like to try this Australian one, it seems really

nice.

nice

No, in a word.

I think it's the organization of them that makes them seem more attractive. Little packets with condiments, specifically portioned, usually has complimentary flavors. It's like the adult version of your mother packing you a lunch, only with an even more air of masculinity given they are usually used by soldiers during combat.

As for the videos, you're probably just drowning in the flood of charisma that flows from Steve.

[spoiler]Nice.[/spoiler]

Do they taste any different using the heater? In my unit they always confiscated them.

>Halal MRE
Saudi Arabian military? How the hell do you even buy those?

He talks like the family guy shark combined with Jim 'mr. metokur', without the phone voice filter.

New steve out, nice!

Two videos in less than a week. Nice!

>once sent a message to Steve on youtube asking how he made his music
>never got a reply
>tfw Steve didn't have the heart to tell me he's just dicking around on an electric keyboard.

We have solders that are Muslim . . . they need to eat too. The same way they have vegetarian MREs.

I bring a few when I go camping, in case weather or other factors would make it tough to make a fire and cook food. They're nice in that absolutely no prep is required for a hot meal, and very little water.

They're certainly nothing special, but not bad. Entrees are about the same as you would get out of a good brand canned food. What IS nice is the variety of the food and that the components go well together. Plus you get various things that are nice in the woods . . . TP, gum, condiments, napkins, a utensil, several beverages, etc.

I assumed he had an essential tremor of some kind. Him and Robert Dyer.

His music reminds me of Sega Genesis games. Pure nostalgia. Nice.

There's no rancidity to these nuts.

It's nice to know that soldiers everywhere have something in common.

/comfy/est channel around, is he dare I say, /ourguy/?

Hmm, no hiss

Nope

Might want to try one, just to satisfy your curiosity. It's high in calories though. If you're watching calories, bad idea to eat MREs as each are over 1,000 calories on average. If you have dentures, or weak teeth, or no teeth, avoid hardtacks (if you're unfortunate enough to get the MREs with them). Put enough of it in a sock and it's a serviceable blunt weapon though. In hardtack's defense, they last a very long time. Those small wads of tissue is for #2. If you're outdoors, save the TPs as you'll need 'em. Don't eat the heater. Best when hot. Anything with cream (milk-based gravy) tastes bleh, especially if the MRE is in its 2nd year or so. With that said, avoid shit-on-shingles/SOS (chipped beef in cream gravy or some variant of it). Get beef or pork entrees. Just avoid the breakfast MREs because you're either going to get disgusting powdered eggs made into an even disgusting scrambled eggs with what could be rancid bits of veggies and/or meat OR SOS with the consistency/sliminess of snot or dry gravy (if you're unlucky, the gravy doesn't have enough liquid and not thoroughly mixed that there's still powdered milk and it'll make you cough--true story). Ranger bars taste like those protein bars you get from musclehead stores and gyms, but worse. It's also more carbs and sugar than protein.

Of course, you eat it because you "love country" and you need enough strength to kill people.

This is a really cool one

Nice!

hmmm, ewuuhh... mmm. Uuuh mm.

i like mre's for the novelty and the convenience in certain situations. while they aren't necessarily tasty, they are something i definitely recommend experiencing. you can find them on ebay and stuff,

they don't look bad, but too expensive to buy.

Do you get one of these a day? That looks pretty good.

I dormed in highschool and I could get mres for cheap off a buddy, so I would always go to my room during lunch heat up the mre eat the meal portion and take the crackers and peanut butter for a snack during classes. I started to fall in love with eating the mres they were considerably better then the cafe food, the only downside was I was shitting constantly

Hey dude, go get some online. They vary from country to country where some have a higher rating than others. Italian MRE's rank pretty high, as do the Greeks.

Good for camping, going away, fishing, stuff like that. Not just for the army. There's even, if you dare, MRE's that are still available from the 1950's you can order and still eat because of the preservatives that are in them.

Go order some.

>doesn't upset your stomach
I nah dude several give me a need for alka seltzer later in the day

This guy gets it

stop pretending on the internet

Nice

steve makes them seem so appealing

post rare steves

Will Steve ever wear a shirt that I don't like?

You made it past those arms to the shirt??

you'll never get laid serving that shit

fuck thats a lot of rations

He looks like reviewbrah if he went into the military and got swole.

Ate them a lot in basic training. They're really not terrible, depending on the one you get. Buy some online for fun, I just wouldn't recommend eating them long term... not that anyone would want to.

Nice

nice

i was just about to post about the veggie omelet, im sure it was made out of pure hatred. there was a day long mre and i cant remember the name of it, they were always rat fucked for the chicken and tuna packets.

nice

I had the chili with beans once and it did the job. Came with a packet of red pepper which greatly improved the flavor. You heated it with a chemical heater it comes with that you prop up on a rock or something. I'd eat it again if I were stuck in a hurricane again.

looks like a cat took a dump on the crackers.

I still remember my history teacher telling me about their MREs and rations in Vietnam. There was this one meal, they called 'ham and motherfuckers' because the food was so dry and hard you had to choke it down.

>let's get these three pallets out onto a tray

>nice
