He has manly hands and I want him to smack my ass.

I love Steve he's a mad man and good YouTuber. Not a lolcow but definitely should have a thread here in food.

I loved seeing him eat stuff from the boer war.. yes 120+year old.

Man has an iron stomach. I enjoy his personality and happen to love military history and he's educated in it.

Odd ball and a lot of fun for people who like history food or mil stuff.

You can't have a video without him eating some of those tasty brown crackers.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Was it still peanut butter, or did it make it to the peanut brittle stage?

 

[timecop]

his hands shake because he is excited

Sorry, it's because I'm under the table.

I unironicly like hard tack and make it for camping granted never had to live off it.

 

[ES 148]

He has such a soothing voice.

My boi eats every part of a ration from 1944. That's older than my parents

 

[Capsaicin Addict]

He's pretty awesome, yes. Some of the rations he tries out look neat, too (Canadians have an MRE with poutine in it. Poutine.)

 

[millais]

I like that he also reviews the cigarettes that come with some packages. Very impressed that he actually sampled the 150+ year old American Civil War hard tack, that stuff practically looked fossilized.

I would have him eat my b unit owo

 

[NumberingYourState]

I'm sorry (not really) but if you eat from a rusty can and unironically enjoy it you deserve whatever comes out of eating from a rusted can.

I personally cannot abide by that, but it is free entertainment so.

 

[Pumpkin spice]

let's get this thread out on to a tray...nice!

 

[Some JERK]

I've seen this guy (and several others doing similar videos) during a few of my youtube rabbithole sessions. All I can say is... Hey, if you really wanna eat decades-old shit that soldiers didn't even want to eat when it was brand new, then I say go for it. I enjoy the videos not because I'm at all interested in how the food tastes or holds up to the test of time, but because for some reason I just really like seeing how things were packaged in the past.

 

[disky]

'hey guys o found some 95 year old penut butter, let's try it out." Or one video he hates the food because it's rancid, then proceeded to eat 3 more bites

 

[The Un-Clit]

I absolutely LOVE this guy. While I would never watch a mukbang to save my life, watching Steve unpack and eat ancient military rations while talking in his soothing voice is so fun that I will sometimes binge on his vids, even ones i've seen before. Also, no one has ever made me want to start smoking again like watching Steve enjoy a viet-nam or ww2 era package of superbly aged MRE cigs.

The American civil war piece of hard-tack that he ate had to be a world record for oldest food item consumed. I couldn't fucking believe it when he didn't only just nibble a corner of it, but made an effort to use up as much of it as possible. Then again, he probably paid a fortune for it so may as well get the max value possible, amirite?

Nah. Honey doesn't go bad and archaeologists find several thousand year old honey in tombs and burial sites all the time. And then you have stuff like this:

Truth. I should have said 'record for oldest military ration item consumed'. I know there have been older items found like old beef casks from the Napoleonic wars, but you'd have to be a complete fucking suicidal moron to eat any of that.

Steve just did a Canadian forces Montreal smoked beef in mustard sauce MRE, and now I dearly want me a gigantic corned beef sammitch.
