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.
