2018 Chinese PLA Type 17 Individual Heating Meal MRE Review Taste Testing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2020
- A direct upgrade to the Type 09 Individual Soldier's Self Heating Meal, the Type 17 combines both practical and palatable in their newest standard issued field ration. With the newest Type 18 (up next for PLA) being a direct upgrade to the Type 13, this Type 17 is again, the answer to the much needed changes from that older Type 09. With freeze dried and pickled vegetables, an extremely powerful FRH, compressed food bar, dried fruit, and a delicious curry chicken & rice, this really turned out to be a well made ration that breaches into the realms of a US MRE & South Korean ration in terms of food quality, effectiveness, and tough packaging.
A notable improvement.

I think instead of "Multi-Dimensional Energy Bar", it is probably "Multi-Vitamin Energy Bar" Since “维” could mean “维度“ which means Dimension, or it could be abbreviation for "维他命” or Vitamins.
Translating Chinese to English is always full of issues
I like the idea of a multidimensional bar.
I imagine it would be a fun place to have a drink or two. 😂
No, it’s the energy bar you eat when you fighting wars in other dimensions

It does exist in at least 3 dimensions, though

Could be worse. Until the early 2000s most PLA chocolate was compressed rat droppings, and you only got those if you were a political officer or if you were a frontline soldier going on a human wave attack to clear a mine field, machine gun nest, or Uyghur village
@@arthas640 i hate china but i find this hard to believe
"Could be the last 2 pieces they ever eat" Steve going real Dark.
Assuming their next meal is a Type 13, it could very well be.
Remember that somewhere in the world is the headstone of a soldier whose last meal was an dehydrated MRE pork patty. Makes all of your problems seem petty.
No shit 🤣👍.
A lot of rations have been a person’s last meal. Morbid, but memento mori
Maybe, but it sure did make me burst out laughing.

During my Navy career, I was never issued anything like an MRE, but I used to buy the boxed C-Rations at the commissary at NCS Kodiak in 1970. They cost me $.59 per meal and I had a dozen of them stashed under my bunk for emergencies. The emergencies were mostly blizzards and a half-mile walk to the chow-hall! Lately, I've been buying cases of MREs from the local "prepper" store; some of them are Desert-Storm vintage but I've never opened a bad one. I really like your attitude and your ability to consume all of those strange foreign rations. Very entertaining!
@Nicolas d'Avout You got to remember there is inflation, so the cost would actually be about the same as today give or take a few bucks.
no you're amazing
Do you still have those C rations by some magical chance?
MREs arent really eaten that much unless a trooper is doing SERE or LRRP deployments.

I think I figured out why this is so entertaining! It combines all of youtube's most popular types of videos.
- It's a "box opening."
- it's also a form of loot box because you don't know what's in each MRE.
- Steve comments on each item almost as if it's a food review.
- And people enjoy looking into culture's that are foreign to them. The MRE's are a perfect way to do that.
With elements of military history and ASMR.
It IS a food review. Duhhhhh...
I just like Steve's personality haha.
Let’s not forget catch phrases and his commitment to bits.
@@garmancathotmailcom That ^^^
Funny stuff. "I only had a B ration today so I am hungry..." Hey Steve, you know you can buy FOOD right?

Just before he said that lol, he said " I'm in food heaven" lmao
😂😂😂😂
If he ate mres every day he wouldnt shit for a month lmao
Dude buys old MRE's for 1000+ dollars a piece
This aligns with Chinese traditional foods very well. Lots of savory, little candy/sugar...food is always hot(my father still heats his milk before pouring cereal!) Every single item here I recognize(besides the bar), the spiced mushroom is an acuired taste...the olives of chinese food. The extra salt intake is used because of the very high temperatures in China(salt is needed after being lost from sweat).
yes the chinese made MRE alligns with chinese cooking and traditional foods.

I used to work with a guy named Emir in Minneapolis. He moved there from Africa last year. He had been working with us for 4 months, then just stopped coming in. It happens so we didn't get think much of it.
Until a week passed and he never picked up his checks (his last work day was Thurs, one more day and he would have had one of his check) Then his brother came one day looking for him. It's weird, we weren't best friends but it's amazing how much you connect with someone when you work 8 hours a day for 4 months. And just the unknown aspect, was he killed? Did he drown? Did he fly back home without telling anyone? (Then why leave the check?)
Anyway sorry for the weird story, I just felt like sharing it.
I can imagine his stomach is having a bigger riot than Minneapolis’s
@@hathaway.1166 damn

That comment about "the last chocolate you might ever have" really made me think. MREs and meal packs should all be great enough quality to be a soldiers last meal if it is their last meal. Sad to think about.

I love how Steve's videos are always worth watching, they never short change you on the informational portion and the running jokes are always nice. The ration itself doesn't really matter as much as the man reviewing it does.
Also Steve. Those mushrooms are called "see you tomorrow" in china. Cause they come out looks just like the way they goes in. 😂😂😂

And cheap, 7bucks for one pack

Steve, I love your passion for these meals. Passion is so rare, these days. Please never lose it.
I have been watching you for a couple of years now, but still i am always amazed of how many ways you find to describe the usual retort pouch food you eat. Good job Steve!
I think the "multi-dimensional bar" stands for "Multi-vitamins", the reason it shows up in multi-dimensional is that the words in Chinese have taken a short cut in writing, so the translation app is confused. Nice video btw!
"multi-dimensional bar" sounds like some cookie from Liu Cixin's novel :-D
@Liam sugars are carbohydrates.
Yah I can read that and I will confirm that, it’s saying like muitl vitamin energy bar (grape dried? Idk what to call it)

He's MRE-TALIATOR from the 80's.
Isn't that the truth!
Right... ☹
As for the PLA MRE improvement over the years, I think it's still has something to do with the tradition of having a proper field kitchen whenever they can. The 2008 earthquake in Sichuan really had a lot of influence on the PLA MRE development. During that disaster, PLA/Armed Police Force quite often found themselves with no water/electricity and the location they need to reach could only be reached on foot after hours if not days of walking. The local civilians really helped quite a lot for their food supply(most cities still have abundant food, they needed mostly medical supply and just more people for rescuing). I think they then realized the limitation of relying heavily on field kitchens(which are great. Basically ten times better than Chinese foods in the US), and started spending more time and effort on developing better MREs.
So what you mean is the local population was exploited as food slaves.
@@thelasttaarakian the original commenter never said anything about slavery.
@@thelasttaarakian or you know, the soldiers just BOUGHT them.
@@thelasttaarakian You are really a slave of the anti-China propaganda
During a natural disaster, people worked together and provided what they could to save lives.
It's a bit odd to frame that as "slavery."
Steve: "Oh you know, it's always like this. This plastic with these PLA food bars, always have to use a knife."
Me pretending they too routinely open PLA compressed food bars: "oh yeah, totally... hate it when that happens"
Nice, thanks Steve. Love the mix of super old / rare rations with the new ones you cover. Very cool to see how far they've come and what soldiers around the world are eating today.

Watched my first video of yours because it came up with a 90s MRE and it brought me back to my childhood when my dad would bring home leftover MREs when he would come home from field work. Our house was the neighborhood hang out, no matter where we went, and he said they kept us from eating him out of house and home lol. But I've continued to watch because I find it interesting to see what others give their soldiers around the world.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This is the most positive comment section I have ever encountered. Peace through combat rations!
This is a no-combat zone

Anything but positive lol
@@Lucky8s I wonder if we’re seeing the same comment section. Maybe UA-cam has a content filter that restricts visibility of comments from certain types of commenters and/or categories of users. If that’s the case, I’ll keep my settings just as they are.

Con; the rations are 50 years old
The MREs would leave you severely constipated all the time. No thanks.

Another thing about the heavily seasoned sauce/small dish (like the mushroom here) is that one of the most common additional food soldiers get on top of the MRE is Mantou (Chinese steamed bun). Those sauce and small dishes go extremely well with that.
This menu is surprisingly interesting - pickled mushrooms and this soup, I've never seen such things before. Thanks Steve for a tasty review !
