2019 US MRE Creamy Spinach Fettuccine Another One of the Worst Meal Ready to Eat Tasting Test

[Music] after surviving in some remote air-conditioned hole and he nothing but so pack a reduced sodium MREs for the last few weeks I've decided to resurface in a desperate search to find something a little bit more gourmet and this is what I managed to find MRE menu number 14 creamy spinach fettuccine they replaced ratatouille in 2016 let's check it out okay so right off the bat a strip of packaging I've never seen that before just an extra little thing back of crackers this is your cardboard sleeve for the Maine chocolate protein drink powder a little boy this stuff again it's the same formula 36 grams of sugar 12 grams of protein I don't know that's just needs more protein frh hot beverage bag oh nice a cran-raspberry flavors first-rate nutritious energy bar cran-raspberry you don't see those every day peanut butter the 1 ounce portion I still say that was not the best of decisions reducing the peanut butter and cheese spreads from one and a half ounces down to one again allocating that little bit of caloric content to another component but that's just not enough it really isn't your accessory packet your standard matches toilet paper salt crushed red pepper 1 gram 4 grams of sugar Dirtnap creamer Gil's brew freeze-dried coffee and then some cinnamon gum oh wow look at that honey mustard and onion pretzel nuggets okay so these were replaced the pretzel sticks that's a new component and here's your main things pretty dense actually packed 170 ninth day of 2019 ok so there's everything laid out not bad all right let's get sat on your tray nice ok let's first start off by eating up that fettuccine I'll just set it directly in sometimes you can set on the outside of the frh and reduce that chemical residue on the pouch but we do sacrifice a small percentage of your heat dispersion set this in here I'm also as crazy as it seems warm up a little bit the cran-raspberry bar because they are very firm without being warmed up and they taste way better warm believe it or not this right here you just put half in and half out while that's doing its thing we'll check out the protein drink [Applause] we've had this on its own twice the bills proof it's just standard freeze-dried coffee it's not bad but this time we're gonna add it to the protein drink oh wow you add the coffee and it actually smells like a a halfway normal mocha actually smells rich and very inviting that's the way to go these honey mustard and onion pretzel nuggets peanut butter and crackers I like this it says thank you for your service let's need this up Han just doesn't even feel like a normal pack of peanut butter anymore it just isn't there's a meal in the making it's like cheat codes for food MREs that's a masterpiece the hot beverage bag it's not totally worthless you can you can put stuff in there to keep it dry I think this is ready [Applause] yes nice and hot hmm has like a onion cream sauce smell and not very inviting I have to admit doesn't smell like great Bon Appetit oh wow only there's a little bit's a mushroom I'm glad they cut the mushrooms up they're not whole pieces pasta a bunch of spinach on its own that is well it's nearly flavorless and it's good that it is because a little flavor a little bit of flavor that it has it's oh it's like a creamy onion spinach with mushy noodle I don't even know what well let's see here it's a miserable main course on its own mushy nearly flavorless a little bit of flavor it has it's just odd let's try a honey mustard and onion pretzel real quick hmm the inside is like hollow so it bites in real easy a tangy savory salty crunch and that is delicious I'm actually going to place a couple of these in there as well just maybe that will help something along with the ground red pepper and the broken up cracker it needs crunch it needs flavor so who cares let's just add a little extra salt to Luke's this makes that clump in okay it's more humane yes thought you seen in this herbal mush it's like I would have loved to enjoy it those oh wow spicy spicy fall for that ground pepper I would have loved to have more of these on their own but you pretty much forced into doing it this way otherwise you probably won't eat the main you got to be compelled to go back to it and see how it is now okay just passing grade the way it is needs more crunch the onion and honey mustard with the pretzels and then cracker that helps tremendously I mean it really does that's what this needs but you wouldn't be able to add crunch to the main that I had in some weird - like water chestnut or something's out of place I mean really it's it's very difficult nearly impossible for a retort pouch to have any sort of crunch at all that's what's so great about the Emory crackers and other you know sides that you can break up and add to the maintance and as for this chocolate mocha our mean mocha Chino protein drink so much better so much better than it would be just on its own the protein drink the coffee is probably fine on its own this is still warm on one side let's check this out yeah a protein drink this is definitely worth the 36 grams of sugar I mean if you're wanting to have something unhealthy might as well go all out so it's nice to add the coffee gives it exactly what it needs than this beauty and so one that most incredible things softened up now it won't pull a filling that's the way to do it you don't hurt you jaw warm them up in your frh this has so much flavor mmm a tart sweet and extremely rich definitive raspberry primarily raspberry flavor the the cranberries you can see them and it gives a nice color loo that cornmeal that's what gives such an interesting variation to that flavor like mixing cornmeal and rice crisp to give that extra little flavor and crunch a little bit of a malt that's our real treat peanut butter and crackers is your most straightforward option for that peanut butter but add the peanut butter to this and only one ounce maybe two ounces of water it may make like a a chocolate mocha peanut butter pudding but this on its own it's not bad oops the crackers don't hold up like they used to ever since they took the trans fat out these used to have two grams of trans fat per pack ever since they took it out these things have been crumbly they are super crumbly and they do not last nearly as long I have come across 2014 and 15 MRE crackers that were stale that would never have happened with the old style anyway rant over yeah it's pretty dry there's provoking well it's just like the new vomit I'm telling you Natick food labs it seems like they have this cruel desire to put the US soldier through you know at least one of these kinds of meals every you know a few years or so they gave you a country captain chicken and then that thing got replaced by the veggie omelet I mean this was worse when I used with the veggie omelet you were getting like 20 grams of protein this is only ten hello yeah it doesn't get any better that's for sure you want to eat it while it's hot you imagine eating it cold I guess it'd be all right I don't know if you're really hungry it doesn't matter but I was really hungry though I'd want more protein than this it forces you to eat everything in the ration hmm I keep going back for another bite expecting a different result and I want to do that's like a creamy spinach nothingness with a spicy mayo random doesn't fit their spiciness grateful for a healthy meal though if you just think about it as energy and less like food you know it's not too bad this is nice no these things great for on-the-go you got you would slowly be careful you don't want to pull a filling and I'm telling you these things it's like taffy if they don't get warmed up David they can be pre firm almost uninsurable it's best to heat him up in your every CH plus it brings out the the fruit flavor chew into it easier and it stays that way for like an hour till it just really defies again I'm telling you if you wait a few years to eat them like just let them sit around they actually get better with age at least the older ones do I don't know about these again they took the trans fat out and things just don't last quite as long without trans fat typically the cornmeal mixed with raspberry and cranberry it's like a half fruit bar half granola bar or something you know or green bar and maybe a bit too much sugar and red dye other than that it's a wonder of food engineering yet this is one of those snacks where I'll smell the wrapper for like a day afterwards I have a hard time throwing it out hmmm fruit anyway this was a 2019 date of production meal ready-to-eat individual menu number 14 creamy spinach fettuccine just as bad as the rumors say when it comes down that main you can barely save it I mean I don't know I've heard a couple people say they like it there was always that guy don't be that guy mom's killing Jim there's a little something for everyone out there and it's the beauty of life and the beauty of those 24 different menus and you know he's treating with somebody else hopefully and if not at least it has 15% of your daily value of vitamin A well anyway this is Steve 1989 I hope you liked the video and I'll be coming back at you it's something new world all right cool see you [Music] you

Lol, I just posted Army Mocha yesterday and he shows up and makes a Protein Shake Mocha today. This dude loves his mocha!

Love Steve. Titles it "one of the worst", proceeds to clean his plate. The guy is devoted to his craft that's for sure.

Why the hell don't they just give our troops freeze dried meals. If they are worried about the fact they require water then include the packet of water.

The shelf life is measured in decades and the quality of food, both taste and nutrients blows this shit out of the water.

When Steve starts eating the main and then literally just mixes the Crackers and the Pretzels with it trying to make it not taste like pure fucking garbage only to make it taste even worse that is true despair.

He's never tasted anything this bad since that one Turkish MRE he ate
