2023 MRE Elbow Mac in Tomato Sauce Review US Meal Ready to Eat Tasting Test
Ойын-сауық
When prepared properly, this is one of the best MRE menus currently in service. With high protein dessert sides, a light yet flavorful main course, and exciting component matchups that will bring you back to this menu over and over again. With shelf stable meals like this, it proves that healthy and palatable are both possible, and advancements are being made.

I never thought I would be so enthralled by a Florida landscaper eating old food. I never thought the method of deconstruction would resonate so thoroughly in my very soul. Steve isn't just a food reviewer, he decants the essence of military diet, explores the history, and gives sincere criticism that you could almost swear the manufacturers hear. It's really nice. Edit: Holy crap I want that shirt he's wearing.

Some day I'd like to see exactly how many calories of each meal come directly from just straight added sugar and corn syrup. I couldn't help but notice. Just between the drink and the bar. There's a ton of sugar in that MRE. The bar should more correctly be called a corn syrup bar. Because that's the main ingredient above all others. The drink mix has 68% of your daily sugar intake just in that one drink. How did Americans reach the point where nobody notices how disgustingly sweet everything is nowadays? I like sweets. But nowadays it's just insane how much sugar and corn syrup gets put into literally everything. I've seen Italian dressing with sugar and corn syrup as one of the main ingredients. Above vinegar and oil.

@@edwardscott3262 I'm totally with you about how much added sugar is in everyday American's diets and how bad that is. But if you're busting ass day in and day out as a young person working as hard as you can, things like tons of sugar, fat and salt are what you need. That's straight energy and electrolytes you're using to keep going at 100%. MREs are not meant for office workers. Junk food like chips and candy bars are actually really beneficial to soldiers and manual laborers alike, because they immediately use the fuel they're intaking. It's only really bad if you eat stuff like that sitting on the couch because your body turns that rich fuel into fat because you didn't make quick use of it.

Thanks for making these videos still. Love your videos, got me into MRE's and it is a fascinating hobby!
I went through basic training for the military recently, and this MRE was always a highlight. You knew if you got this or spaghetti in meat sauce you were going to have a good day. If you check out the maple pork patty (assuming you haven't already) it's awesome. It comes with pound cake, syrup, and they're very divisive, but hashbrowns with peppers and bacon. Not crispy or golden at all but it was delicious.

Always a pleasure watching your reviews Sir.
Steve, when I first found your videos back in 2018, I was going through a really rough period of self-destruction in my life and I sought out anything to distract myself or give me peace. Something about your videos appealed to me from the start. Over the last six years, everything in my life has changed. Mostly for the best in the big picture, but so few comforts, relationships, etc. are the same or in existence at all. Yet every time you post, I find myself back in those early days of my journey back with one of my greatest comforts. And as lame as it probably seems, my loneliness is abated each time. Even with so much of myself and my life experience in the past, you bring me back to a period without regret or hatred; it’s just reminiscence and positivity. I recognize this whole post is probably very cringey and that’s fine. But I want to let you know you’re an awesome dude and I appreciate it all.
