We really haven't gotten that far from salt pork and hardtack, have we?

Even during the Civil War the most prized part of the rations was the sugar and coffee.  The rest got mixed into a community stew.  The more things change...

"All I have to say is thank goodness I'm not from the Ukraine!!  Blech!  Even makes the US MREs look good. "
Yes but Ukrainian women make US women look pretty poor. Long, Blonde and Built.  And I don't even like blondes  ;)

I have eaten in the mess with Romainan, (very good), Poles (Good) and Canadian (OK) and Danes ( pass).

All but the Canadains had beer at lunch and dinner.  Never had MRE from the bunch.

Romainians put on the best field kitchen but it was a big NATO show with some General officers so I'm sure it was not the regular feed for the regiment.

The Korean MRE made me gag.

I was wondering the same thing. Didn't they get a little shot size bottle of Brandy?

There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

Doubtless marked by the sounds of cannon balls rolling on the deck in wee hours. Not even Nelson had the balls to do that. ;D
