I have no idea what this is, but if you ever needed a flow chart on how to make Salisbury steak, LOL

Hmm, I suspect people in Salisbury, MD would just skip all the steps and use the blast freezer

Ha, the US Army has (had?) a Food Engineering Laboratory. So this is MIL SPEC SALISBURY STEAK.

@ai6yr @Lightfighter These sites are terrible. If you'd like a tasting I'd suggest finding a small crumby looking surplus store that has piles of ancient gear, that's where you find the good stuff. Very artisanal.
Show threadAI6YR BenJun 24
@michaelwaggoner @Lightfighter LOL I have some surplus store MREs... of uncertain vintage. I am still not sure how you tell if it's edible.
Show threadMichael WaggonerJun 24
@ai6yr @Lightfighter Everything but the Tabasco is almost certainly fine especially if it's been kept inside. The boxes they come in have a special sticker that is supposed to indicate whether they are safe but even then I'd feel comfortable eating anything from within this century.

@michaelwaggoner @ai6yr @Lightfighter Impressive if the *hot sauce* is the most perishable item!

@mattblaze @michaelwaggoner @ai6yr The tobasco just loses all color and flavor
Show threadMichael WaggonerJun 24
@mattblaze @ai6yr @Lightfighter They used to include civilian Tobasco bottles. Nowadays they have the Army developed stuff in more secure packets. Became less of a priority since most platoons will have at least one guy who never leaves the house without a bottle of Frank's or Texas Pete that they stole from the mess hall

@0xF21D @michaelwaggoner @mattblaze @Lightfighter LOL the fact that guy is still alive and not dead of botulism is indeed, proof, that MREs have a very significant shelf life.

@ai6yr @michaelwaggoner @mattblaze @Lightfighter if I’m not mistaken he does inspect a lot of the more iffy MRE’s with a microscope to make sure there’s nothing dangerous growing. You can’t help but both relax with these videos and learn a thing or two about obscure MRE stuff, like the once elusive shelf stable MRE pizza.

There's a guy who has an encampment at Slab City, California. He has signs all over the fence, one of which states that "MRE's are delicious".

I will take his word for it.

Nice hiss.

@michaelwaggoner @mattblaze @ai6yr @Lightfighter or you all get punished and no one has any hot sauce after ONE MRE bomb.

Lol not that this happens...😅

Show threadNazoJun 25

@mattblaze @michaelwaggoner @ai6yr @Lightfighter It's my understanding that the biggest thing that ruins foodstuff kept in perfect storage is oils break down over time just no matter what.

Of course, the stuff with no oils does great. It just frequently is lacking a bit in taste, lol.

I've been doing a bit with mylar bags and oxygen absorbers for emergency storage lately and can definitely say that the simpler something is the more likely it is to keep a long time. Fun fact: normal coffee is horrible due to its oils, but instant coffee of all things can keep practically forever if properly stored, lol. Hey, in an emergency one still needs their coffee!

I can't consider Tabasco to be a hot sauce. It's just a cute little bottle of vinegar with the token addition of trace amounts of peppers to sound cool and add a bit of color 😔
Show threadAI6YR BenJun 25
@me_valentijn @mattblaze @michaelwaggoner @Lightfighter True, Tabasco has almost no peppers in it. We're a Tapatio household here (which I blame on my son spending too much time at firehouses when in middle and high school... There's a giant bottle of Tapatio at every fire station).

We found a Dutch company that does an epic an epic Madame Jeanette hot sauce that somehow gets the full flavor with only moderate heat. And it manages to taste great on scrambled eggs, despite pineapple being the main ingredient 😂

@ai6yr @michaelwaggoner @Lightfighter maybe I'm just nostalgic but the MREs all sound pretty good to me, id demolish every one of those, like I bet the elbow noodles in tomato sauce tastes better than Chef Boyardee 😄. Of the few I clicked through I didn't see a bottle of Tobasco though, which seems like a miss, everything tastes better with flavor and a little heat

@raven667 @ai6yr @Lightfighter They're mostly fine just kinda bland. I could never get over the appearance of chicken chunks though
