Watch This Guy Eat A 117-yr-old British Army Ration

April 23, 2018 by Chris Durso

As long as there are folks that refer to themselves as “ration enthusiasts,” consider expirations dates suggestions, and have access to YouTube, there will be videos like this.

Steve of MRE Info recently tried to ingest a 117-yr-old British beef ration from the Second Boer War (1899 – 1902). Although it’s unsurprising that the century-old beef looks and tastes like top soil, it’s probably more of a surprise that Steve is still alive and well.

Watch the taste test and try not to get too hungry.

Military Rations Made To Look Like Michelin Starred Meals

May 22, 2017 by Chris Durso

MREs (meals ready to eat) are designed to be quick and convenient, without much care for actual cooking and plating. Chef Chuck George partnered with videographer Jimmy Pham and Henry Hargreaves, to change the way we look at these military meals.

Titled MRE, the project takes these various foods, often texturally-challenged and monochromatic, and plates them to appear like gourmet meals. Although we probably won’t see servicemen actually wanting to plate their food like a gourmand — it does make you wonder if MREs suddenly become more palatable if presented outside of their plastic bags and tin cans. See the work in progress below.

‘We wanted to see how different Armies go about feeding their troops. You can tell a lot about how valued someone is by the food they are given. In respect to servicemen and woman across the globe we wanted to take these meals and elevate them to Michelin Star quality meals. In essence taking some of the most unappetizing food, thats given to the bravest people and making it look fit for the nation’s leader.’
