1944 British Special Ration Type C MRE Review Eating 70 Year Old Canned Military Meal (RAF)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- This rare WW2 British Royal Air Force Special Ration Type "C" was amazingly preserved over 7 decades. Check out this food storage phenomenon - a very advanced Military Ration for it's time.
The Special Ration Type "C" filled a double role of being a food supplement to main Rations (much like the modern US M.O.R.E) - or as a low-thirst provoking Survival Ration.

Because they are nice
That fuckin vintage shits love it
"It's starting to sneak up with a nice bit of foul." Takes another bite. Nice.
Right as he said that I read this trippy😂😂💀💀
I also
God bless the almighty UA-cam
And in the end:
"I gotta finish this one!"
🤣🤣😂
Steve is the Bob Ross of rations
Brian Ingram omg...,you are right. No wonder I enjoy these opening videos so much!
Brian Ingram more like Bob ross is the ration of steve
Holy skadoodles you're right man!
Haha spot on
"A happy little hiss. Nice."
The Buchanan’s factory is 5 minutes from my house (greenock- Scotland 🏴) . They still operate and produce boiled sweets and toffees. Interestingly enough they are now operate out of what used to be a torpedo factory that produced torpedos for allies in ww2.
Just looked it up. The candy factory is open right now it’s 2 am here in west coast USA. It’s Magical reminded me of the willie wonka and the chocolate factory. Literally has a candy called magical fruit. I started singing a jingle in my head about the list of candy lol
I'm gonna start my own organic fruit bar business, the fruit bars will be available for purchase in 2087.
I would like to preorder please. My grand kids will love them for sure.
I'll take a case!
Bruceolini and his big weenie hell ya!, can I get a free sample when I’m 80??
Will I get an elderly discount, I'll be 88 by the time the fruit bars are available for purchase
Ayy 2087 is too short . U should keep for a longer time n surprise the future people(alien?)"this is Bruceolini's earth foodbar".xD
70+ years and still good! Crazy!! NICE!
Ayyy, wolfepit!
TheWolfePit Love your videos man.
Pretty sure the things you try on your channel Wolfe are far worse than this :D
I actually found your channel through this channel. Love both yours and Steve's content!
TheWolfePit your wings are amazing
Let's get this out on a tray. Nice. It never gets old 👍🏿
NICE
When he says that...his voice reminds me of Wayne’s World ...lol
Good videos man
Hearing him say that and "nice hiss" never gets old lol
@@ziamarie he said no hiss
The food is almost always old
Pretty crazy when you consider that this food probably outlived the person who packaged it
Damn
This guy as your lawyer
"Alright let's get all your evidence out onto a to a tray"
*Nice*
Mkay
@@joeyeoman5266 Nice

So the body u buried smelled kinda rancid
Did u hiss at him?
Nice
He's got a Bob Ross voice with a Steve Irwin attitude of rolling the dice eating this stuff.
Zachary *Yeah and you know what happened to both of them 😂*
Zachary Isom lol, that's perfect.
I absolutely love what you do. You take time out of your life and money out of your pocket to share history with us, pieces of history that are usually otherwise forgotten and left to rot. What you do, in my opinion, means more than you might think it does. I enjoy every video I watch. Thank you for doing what you do.
CreativeGuy totally agree with all you have said, this is fascinating keep up the good work steve1989MREInfo
I agree completely, fantastic comment
Ya'll just tryna hide your fetishes (don't worry I'm into this kind of shit too)
What he said.
He also helps all those old vets around the world who are hardcore sitting in their dugouts feasting on rations and watching Steve explore & eat.
Niiiicccceeee
Tonight, we're gonna party like its 1944!
Good one!
Dude! Ilmfao!! Good one! Hahahahaha 👋🤣👍
I love how you laid out the rations into a smiley face!
love this guy's attitude
It’s interesting to note that he’s eating food from before the atomic bombs fell.
There's also the time he ate an old piece of hardtack from the US Civil War (1860s).
after the first bomb fell radio active cesium went into everything
Buchanan's are still going since 1856 and still one of the finest confectioners in the UK.
Makes me want a 70year old fruit bar...
What does Richard Simmons have to do with this?
Brad James finest comment on all the internet.
JoeGames by golly
And most people throw out food by it's best-before date.
Not me. Can't afford to waste food. I've eaten stuff up to two years past due-date and have stuff older than that in my deep freeze. I'm leery on the 2010 steak though lol if hubby wants that he can have it.
I feel like your the closest thing to a time traveler that this world has.

Very creative

good one
"No hiss."
"Pop that tab."
"Let's get this out on to a tray. NICE!"
The things I look forward to in these videos.
No hiss is a very good thing. It shows it preserved good.
Always listen for the ecstatic 'NICE hiss'
Is no hiss good or bad?
@@kingcheee160 yes
@@kingcheee160 I always assumed its good
"its starting to sneak up with a nice bit of fowl, *takes another bite* mmm"
Steve, this is why I am always going to stay subscribed and watch every video.
*foul. "Fowl" is what you would call a chicken.
Who thought what was inside was going to be a pile of rancid and rotten crap, based solely on the outside condition of the tin? I certainly did, and was stunned when it was opened.
Balti Pasta yea I was pleasantly surprised, expected rancid leaking nasty crap. Super nice that was pretty neat perfect.
Balti Pasta I've noticed that the opposite tends to be true with these; he opened a survival ration can a while back that was rusty all over but the inside was perfect and it had a *huge* number of perfect Charms candy packages inside.
I've noticed the US K rations seem to be the most likely to be thoroughly turned. Could just be luck of the draw considering the volume in which they were produced, or the water content. The cigarettes are usually good though. Important ito a pre 2000 soldier.
I have noticed that they are hit or miss. That can was very impressive. Though with that, I have noticed that some items are fairly consistent in keeping well.
Came for the 60 year old WW2 ration, stayed for the 40 year old Jaws shirt.
When I was in the New Zealand Army in about 1969 we got one of two Ration Packs when we were on a field exercise. 1 .... a Fresh RP from the Mess Hall. ( piece of steak, potato, onion,rice etc) or #2 .... A British ww2 Rat Pack similar to the one you opened. I used to swap some of my stuff I didn't like, or couldn't be bothered cooking, for other guys biscuits. Most guys didn't like the biscuits, they were like a hard rusk. I liked that I could carry them in a shirt pocket, and snack any time when i was in the field. Broke a couple of dental fillings though.
Were they considered to be like hard tack?
Hahaha, British Army hard tack was legendary. In WW1 soldiers had hard tack that was made twenty years earlier and tinned. They used to have to soak it in water (or bacon fat) to bite a bit off and still a fair number lost teeth to it. Another thing was to pound it to pieces with a bayonet hilt or pistol butt to make chunks/flour that they could throw into a stew of tinned meat and veg. They had thousands of the bloody things too - I heard a (possibly apocryphal) story that in one underground dugout they laid biscuits down on the bare earth to make a solid floor :D
Your so polite in your videos

One of my favorite channels on the internet , right here folks!
WilsonEatsASMR NICE!
WilsonEatsASMR if Bob Ross did these instead of painting, it would be like this.
Perktube1 njnjijnn
WilsonEatsASMR hey good to see you here too.
Well! I'm hooked!
I personally think that the "fruit bars" are so good after they age because the sugars in the fruit ferments, much like the sugars in wine turning to alcohol. So it's sweeter and probably somewhat better than when it was new. Know what I mean? Nice.
Buchanan's sweets, from Greenock Scotland. The company is still going strong.
Send them a link!
Your wish is my command.

If they send a reply, please let us know!
Done it.
i wonder if their sweets still have that "all natural flavour"
I want a 70 year old fruit bar 😟
same!!!!
Same
It Looks Soooo Goooood!
Right #metoo
Hmm🤔
73 year old fruit bars age like fine wine, apparently. Some good things came out of the War!
Wow. Food that's 70+ years old, and still tastes good. Amazing.
ditto1958 damn right it is
They don't make food like that anymore.
It's humbling to know that, during the war, British citizens living in Great Britain had to endure rather severe food rationing and they did it with that famous "stiff upper lip" resolve the British are so famous for. Sugar was essentially unavailable and substitutes challenged cooks nationwide. But, I think it's safe to assume that except for really down days for a small percentage of them, they didn't complain because that sugar was for "Our boys" in uniform and they knew they would need those very sugar and carb boosts the entire program was about. As an aside, the entire nation of non-military personnel got healthier! They had fewer digestive complaints, lost weight, blood pressures down (even with getting "blitzed" in the later months!), fewer heart attacks and so on. But, after the war was over and the supply chains were re-established (which took years, btw), the average Brit went right back to their old beloved self-destructive ways ; ) Like anyone would after years of such restrictions.
"No hiss"
:c
double :c
I was just going to comment that............!
He was so sad :c
Maybe I'm fucking crazy, but I swear I can hear a his when he opened it. It may just be the can opener, but it really sounded like a his to me.
yeah i hear it but just sounded like a quiet fart escaping from the buttrather then a iconic Steve hiss
Sneaking up with little bit of foul
Should be on the T shirt methinks
Nige Robinson I agree!

Taste a little bit off...yeah this is fine
4:50 "Its starting to sneak up with a nice bit of foul", you sir, have an admirable optimism to life.
"Its really chasing with a serious tingle" uhh 😂 Yeah.. That's not normal
I'm always so fucking happy when I see your videos in my subscription list! liked before the video started
Steve1989 MREinfo exactly! They don't make em like they used to anymore. I hope you will have a pack of smokes again the next time. hoping for a packet of smokes in the next one!
Stew Ray bro, how can you not like a steve1989 MREinfo video
seenstudio
seenstudio yeah me too..love watching and listening to the history...fascinating!
i wish i was so fucking happy, im just mildly fucking happy
I think the fruit bar and/or oatmeal bar in that ration pack were what inspired Tolkien's "lembas" when he wrote LOTR. Basic comfort food and energy source for British soldiers in the field in WW2.
Does anyone else love the sound of the sped up can opener? No? Ok cool.
Jimmy Hazlett i love it
Lol wont lie i like it
Jimmy Hazlett my favorite part of the video for real lol
Yes, we do.
yes
I like it when Steve enjoys a British ration. Fills me with such national pride
Nice
70 year old food, still edible
this is truely amazing
I just watched a man eat 70 year old caned food, and i loved it.
**SPOILER**
Hold on to your hats, boys and girls, we get a "by golly" in this video!
Jesse C to bad there wasn’t a “hi diddly do”
Nice!
I HEARD IT! I heard the by golly! 😻😻
shawn zeleny where’s that??????
Hurray!!!! My Hero!!! Steve made my day with this awesome video 😊
Steve's the NICE-est guy on UA-cam!!!
Steve1989 MREinfo
Steve, those Buchanan candies made me salivate.... lol! That fruit bar looked like a little dark hairy monster. 😉
I'm surprised it tasted so good.
I want one. 👍🏻 btw Great video!
Steve the way you talk and describe everything is the best part. Very intelligent and articulate.
steve's gf: hay we going to the movies lets bring some snacks.
steve: hang on let me get my 70 year old rations
glad to see your back man...that last one had us worried
I love watching these
Steve1989 MREinfo HE SAID IT!!!!
Doge IsHere alright!
Are you immortal dude? How could your guts handle this things?
Because it's food, your guts were designed to process it.
i dont think human guts werent designed to process 70 years old food.
Jessen's Channel Well.. it was preserved so probably only around 10 years of aging.
His stomach is harder than the iron cross.
Shaffan his body is probably used to the bacteria so he can get away with it on some things but the stuff he eats is usually ok to eat anyway
Steve's enthusiasm is so great to listen to, you can really hear how excited he gets.
My favorite part of every video: "Let's get this on a tray. Nice!"
Perhaps THEE best ration video I've ever watched. You possess the perfect personality for getting across the nostalgia of these products. Being highly motivated I instantly subscribed! Still blown AWAY by the quality of this ration after 70+ years...easy to see how the Allies won the war. Semper fi!
usmcfutball I can’t understand why it doesn’t have more enthusiastic comments. I’m amazed.
Great video man, keep doing these. Your educating many, what a great show, like from me.
ProtoMario *you're
I dunno how he's educating. I'm just here because people eating old food is my fetish.
Omg whaaaat protomario??
Always gotta have something to eat when I watch these or else I get hungry lol
Eric Flores me to lol
The person who made your food is now dead
The person who made his food is now just bones
And no hiss! I thought for sure it'd be a goopy mess inside, great find!
For your 300K video you should make a montage of you saying 'Nice'
ManiacPlays I'm sorry he didn't
ManiacPlays and "let's get this out onto a tray, that's pretty decent"
and "OH WOW"
"Bleachy"
No hiss
Congrats Steve on finally hitting the mainstream! Adam Savage, The Verge.. wow! Please keep doing the wonderful videos regardless
Steve is one of the very few channels that a new video comes up in my subscription feed I watch instantly.
I love what you do!, you shine light on forgotten relics and the companies that created them, you show us the amazing history that is being forgotten because they’re low priority to many, you help people imagine what it would’ve been like fighting in a war and what they ate so they could keep fighting, your like a historian in a way heck you probably are, keep doing what you do!
“Let’s get this on to a tray... NICE!”
Literally my favorite part of every video.
you're my favorite youtuber, keep up the awesome videos man!!

thank you for sharing, you are fantastic! I share your passion.
I was thinking about making a design sometime!
Dude I just love your demeanor, always look forward to “let’s get this on a tray, Nice!”
Video popped up in my suggested vids, I was bored and clicked. Life changed. Keep this up Steve, these are amazing.

Best part of my day today was seeing this.
"The outer can looks so rough, but what's inside is.. fantastic." Aww thank you :)
2 people I watch while laying in bed
1. Steve 1989
2. Matt stonie
Yes. So you can have a NICE sleep
Then you get hungry
What an act. Voice. Personality. The consistency of the ending. The Tray statement. What a fucking good bit. Bravo man.
'starting to sneak up with a nice bit of foul'. lmaooo
Another excellent video by the great Steve1989. Keep up the good work dude.
Well I look forward to seeing what else you crank out.
It's fun and you convey your flavour and taste sensations, beautifully. And when you say something tastes more 'real' and it comes from 'back when things were a bit more real', it's actually very moving. Thanks, sir.
The happy face before he put it on a tray... Nice!!!
...And I'll be coming back at'cha with something new... Or old.
Alright.
Cool.
See ya.
Your catchphrases are very endearing. :3
It's smells funny and it's tastes funky, but It's still PERFECTLY fine!!😂
the older the berry the sweeter the juice
The older the berry the smelly the cherry
Thought it "blacker the berry the sweeter the juice"...
Ripen the barley, bitter the beer?
"No hiss." is my favorite line everytime
Whenever I watch these I always think about how many pilots or soldiers survived being shot down or lost or cut off from their lines because they had a can or two of this stuff with them. Such cool pieces of history.
I'm watching this video and eating Swedish military, yellow pea soup with ham.
Good choice, altough Swedish peasoup is for Thursdays. If you're Australian you're OK but if not you will need to go stand in the corner for eating pea soup on a Wednesday.
I bet he is having pancakes after that :-))
Man I wish I got either of those jokes.
siemenstraffic no one cares what you're doing
Corkoth55 me too
I look forward to new uploads from Steve... Nice..
I really applicate your love for nostalgia for a time when we American's and our allies were at our best.
I LOVE your channel. Great content as well. It's quite interesting in knowing what our vets diets consisted of. My Father was a WW2 Naval officer, he always bragged about how well the Navy ate, now I totally understand.
Kind regards, Eric Dee.
I love it
Steve:"yeah they're foul" *takes another bite*
its about time
Oh, shit, German cigarettes? I'm stoked for that one.
KozakAlencarProductions Haha Noice!

This is definitely hall of fame quality video steve1989, a real surprise! Nice!

Tom what?
The Chinese had a hash brick in there's back in the old days!
Steve, your videos are awesome! During this summer holiday, myself and friend have watched all your uploads and find them absolutely fascinating. We've now adapted 'small hiss' and 'get it onto a tray' into everyday life. You are fabulous and we love these reviews. Can't wait for the next ones.
Love hearing the excitement on his voice when he discovers it’s unspoiled 😂👍
And good God I just love the way you talk it's like your culinary arts student man your content is just so awesome and it's like a dream come true

I absolutely love your videos. No hiss!!!! Let's get this out onto a tray!!!! Nice!!! Love the commentary and the sound of your voice. Love when you speed up the video while opening up ration can and listening to the sound. Best channel on UA-cam. Thank you so much for all you do!!!!
The sound when you open the can is so awesome. Could hear that sound all day long.
im pretty drunk, i took a shot everytime he said nice.
Steve has got to have the most rancid farts.
*poot* nice.
Nice hiss
Jealous person
He may have no wildlife in the area.
Steve is so dedicated to his hobby even his t-shirt shows emergency rations (for a shark at least)
These video's are entertaining enough to get me through the nights without having to use crummy syndicated reruns on dish network at night and especially minimal use rehabbing from a full hip replacement posterior method
I love it when I see a company I've never heard of on these older MRE vids, and search the name, and discover that they still exist. Buchanan's in this case. This channel is so gloriously addictive.
