Gordon Ramsay presenting MREs is something I never thought I needed to see until today

[paleoph]

This confirms it. Simple History loves MREs.

The Beef Stew has a special place in my heart, not many people went for it as they hunted for the chili Mac or southwest style beef and beans. The vanilla pound cake always was really good.

Simple history has a good sense of humor with their thumbnails

As a Norwegian i can indeed confirm that the arctic rations are amazing. My favourite is the "curry cod fish stew". But almost all of them are really good.

In Metal Gear Solid 4, there's an optional Codec conversation where Colonel Campbell tells Snake about the time he attended an international "ration swap meet" where various military leaders from around the world tried other countries' military rations. According to Campbell, everyone there agreed that the French rations were the best while the US rations were the worst.

He then passive-aggressively tells Rose that her cooking sucks by saying that she could learn a thing or two from the chefs who made the French rations. To top it all off, Rose chimes in that she actually enjoys US military rations 🤣

In Iraq we had an MRE Cookbook. It laid out all sorts of ways to combine several different main meals and ingredients. Some turned out really good. We tried one recipe to make a chocolate cake out of several Cocoa and creamer packs with finely crushed crackers, with M&M's mixed with water into a cake type mix then put into an Ammo can and either put on a HMMWV or vehicle engine. Or in our case just set in the sun. It did kinda turn into a cake but was barely edible. LOL Good times.

That thumbnail is awesome. Whoever did deserves a pay raise & more credit than they originally have gotten.

You have no idea how jealous I am of some of the European NATO members and their MREs. I had to trade multiple Chili Macs for a single French MRE, but let me tell you this, it was worth it.

Fun fact: Janissaries were children were forced to become Janissaries and were very honored, so basically honored slaved, but still wanna become a janissary because of the benefits

[SteelPot]

I can’t tell what did it for me. Gordon Ramsay, serving MREs, soldiers, holding hands while going to the bathroom, or diarrhea exploding people into the air while hooters waitresses look on.

Fun fact : In afghanistan the exchange rate for American anD french ration was 5 to 1

[dominuslimo]

When I was in the third and fourth grade my friend Jacob, his dad served in Iraq, and when he came home from deployment, he brought with him a bunch of chili Mac MRE’s. Jacob would always bring a few of these for our small group of friends. Let’s just say no one could ever top our lunches.

SteveMRE1989 would be proud, thanks SimpleHistory

[mattduin]

If they ever make a movie of my life, i want the simple history guy to be the narrator. Plain and simple

[cannedbeans]

7:25 thats definitely a south park reference lmao, love how subtle that is

[SkillfullyBlind]

The MRE or FR for the norwegian armed forces is absolutely fantastic. The only two that i personally did not like was the breakfast omelette and the spanish meat balls. The eggs was like eating a sponge dipped in butter and the meat balls never got hot enough from the heat pack so it was like eating cold lard

[jayhan]

I got to appreciate MRE's thanks to Steve's YouTube channel. The guy made these look delicious. Chilli mac definitely tops all of the MREs I have tasted to date.
