GEN 1 US MRE, 1981 Menu 3 Beef Patties, This is FIRST year of production for mre's 

Ahhh yes the classic mres that started it all! The meal looked how I expected it to look after 40 something years lol 😂 Really great review Pete!!

Lol funny to think that we actually use to make things here in Michigan

Older than me... I always love to see and try these. I haven't had this one, Thanks Pete!

Back in my Army daysi loved the pork patty as it had apple sauce and I reconstituted it in the bag in my pocket and add it to the applesauce a truly great meal. I loved the MCI and missed them .

41 years old... what do you expect lol. I believe that canned food will last for ever 🙂 As always, good show mate 🙂

Hand this awesome stuff in basic in ‘95. Loved em

Wow. Didn't expect all of it to be gross. But hey. The spoon was in good shape. Great review.

Mi is Michigan. I live here pete. Great as always

“Oh shit!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣love it!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 when you kept smelling things it cracked me up I think I heard you say the 💩 word a few times I needed this laugh thank you just lost a aunt and this cheered me up 👍🏾👍🏾

Nice review Pete. I had this, was awesome 👌

Pete: “There ya go looking like peanut butter rather than cheese, we’ll have a quick smell…” *it was at this moment that he knew…he f***ed up* 😂 great stuff as always mate keep up the good work!

Great review pete awsome old mre would have been awsome if u could have tried everything take care man

Those "brownies were known as "track pads" after the rubber blocks on AFV tracks.

Unfortunately that ration had seen it's best days sometime back. I kind of felt that only the coffee, sugar and gum would have been okay, I wasn't figuring the meat patty was freeze dried. If it hadn't been I am sure it would have gone bad to.

Hi this was fantastic. Very funny. I’m a bit of a novice, an idea I had (you might have already done it), if you could do a vid, explaining the different types, and how and when they could have been used eg you mentioned a humanitarian pack etc in you talking about the different packs, and the things on the packs eg why you can’t use in in flight or pre flight eg introducing all the noobies, and novices to this world. I hope that is clear.

Good morning from the Great State of Texas. I truly enjoyed this video.Do you know when the military started putting frh in these meals? Do you have a list of all the types of meals for these rations? Have a good day and be safe and thank you for this video.

A NO. Good job, nice video. well done Peter.

Great video. I wouldn't have put that stuff to my nose

Back then, the cheese spread didn’t look like cheese. Can’t go off the color

If you eat any of that there will be bubbles forming. HA HA HA.

When you utter s - - t you know it is bad! Sorry, nice review! Blessings 🙏🏼

Dam this was not looked after, great ration though.

You can’t win ‘em all Pete, better luck next time mate 👍

What do I hear from down under? I am watching 🙂

Vintage? Good luck Mate. FYI, Mo. is Missouri, Mi. Designates, Michigan. This comment is not, condescending. I would have trouble with your territories as well. As many knives , as I use, in reviews, I have plenty of those bad boys here. I shall use, my friend. Find one now. Next review, you will see I am sincere, sir. I hate to say, Yup, them crackers, well, you know. Bad luck Mate. I hope rest of meal, does come out better. Vintage meals, are just that. No Guarantees. I have rehydrated the fruit, never lucked into the meat? Apparently, some items were spoiled, LOL! Fresh Hell. New to my vocabulary. May I use, with your permission? I can give you terms, old language, you might use? Us Yanks, have many terms. Vintage meals, are A history lesson. Hard to find one with, solid components. Yourself, and, the meal, did suffer , just A bit. You, my friend, are brave to attempt this ration. Bad ration, however, great history lesson. All of us , learn as we go. I have had meals like this before. The fact, you did show it, continues to prove the gentleman, you are. I burry these tapes, maybe I should not have? I wish you, and, Your's well . Peace my Brother. John.

🤢 This ration is before I was born! Lol!😱

🤣 yep... still stinks

Eat it, Aussie Boy!😉

Another fun review. Always pray that something that old will survive and be edible. Struck out on this one, sadly. 🥲
