  • This two meal ration really stands out with a delicious breakfast tamale, rich hot chocolate, fairly unique chocolate covered raisins, a hearty chicken & rice stew, unusual shelf stable baked good items, and an outrageous 100 gram packet of sweetened condensed milk. Using one of 3 new cameras in this review, stay tuned for a 1955 C ration with smokes using a much higher quality 4k camera that is so nice, it's almost too nice! Up next, ETA one week. Alright cool, see ya.

    I'm Colombian, 25 years old, my uncle was a soldier in the army until last year, we live close to the base he was stationed at, when I was a kid he used to bring those rations for me and my grandma (RIP), we sat with him in the backyard to talk about the times he was deployed in hot zones close to our city, my grandma always went for the cookies, which are really fantastic, for some reason I remember the taste of that stale piece of bread, we used to called it a brick, somehow little ol' me fancied them, watching this video really got me nostalgic.
    Thanks Steve, great videos as always (sorry for bad english).

    I appreciate that the bags have quotes and messages directed to the soldiers who would consume this.
    The smaller version (Menu 1) reads “Being a soldier of Colombia is an honor”, while the second (Menu 19th, expired) reads “God will never give you a load that you cannot carry, because He knows how far your strength will go”.

      I am honestly shocked that he didn't get botulism from that 1899 Boer War beef ration he ate. Especially since he could tell that it was off as he was cooking it and after the first few bites, but he kept eating it. I felt sure that he was going to get some sort of bad ailment from that...and he didn't. And wasn't it a modern 2019 Chinese ration that actually made him sick? Ironic.

    There are several varieties of tamales in Colombia and they're all really good. The only thing missing is that when you actually get it, it's wrapped in a banana leaf. And if you ever get a chance to get real Colombian hot chocolate, make sure you prepare it with milk and and some chunks of really melty cheese. It doesn't add anything extra to the chocolate, but it's the traditional way to drink it and it's delicious.

    This bring back some memories. I'm colombian, 34 now. I didn't serve in the military but I lived in the countryside of my city Cali (where I still live now) next to a training military base; I was like 12-13 back then and my mom had a little convenience store; we had some pigs, we served breakfast and lunch at our house and a lot of the soldiers used to trade us these kind of rations for regular groceries or meat; they went pretty fed up of that kind of food after their missions (I guess that happens eventually). A couple years later the military base was closed, guerrillas started to take control of the place and we were forced to go to the city. Thank God we preserved our lives and the good memories with the militaries. I can see there hasn't been much of a change in the content of the rations since then; I remember trying the tamal, minestrone soups and lentils stew. Those square cookies are delicious, I must say the bread was my less favorite, it's super hard and dry.

    1. Colcafé is a popular and cheap brand of instant coffee (but it isn't the best)
    2. Our tamales are different from other parts of latin america, they usually are bigger than the Mexican tamales and they are made with rice or corn flour, yellow peas, chicken, pork, boil egg with onion, garlic, white pepper flavoring and we cook them in a plantain leaf, and you're right, we eat them mostly for breakfast with chocolate and bread.

    Let's (FINALLY) get this Steve out onto our screens.
    NICE!
    Glad to see you back and doing well. We were all worried and missed you.

    Just thought, why not mix the coffee, hot chocolate, and some of the condensed milk for a large army-mocha :) Those 3 together could be a good combo :)

      I think because he didn´t want to mix the good hot chocolate with the chemical bitternes of the coffee :/

    I’m glad he put out some new material I was beginning to wonder if you was still on UA-cam.

    I love the community's dedication to the bit of saying like "oh he didn't die of dysentery" or something every time he comes back from hiatus

    My 13 year old daughter just asked me the other day, “Why hasn’t Steve1989 made any videos lately?” Most exciting news so far in 2021!!! “Nice hiss!!!”

    I've been in a really bad place mentally lately and there is just something so soothing about steve's voice. It always helps having his videos on in the background

    Steve I just want to tell you I appreciate the little things you do in the videos. Like at 2:40 when you let us look into the bag.

    Like getting a visit from an old friend, and you pick up right where you left off. Perfect way to wind down.
