Have you ever tried field rations? That's mummified (sometimes even petrified) food stocked by the military. It's not supposed to taste good. That's just a bonus. A good field cook can help a lot in this respect. All it has to do is fill your belly and give you enough calories to keep on going. And it has to remain edible for decades.
I have gotten more than just a small portion of that stuff and at times, when I was hungry enough to bite the sergeant, it actually was the most delicious thing in the world. This, however, is an act of bravery (or foolishness): 1942 WW2 US Army Field Ration C B Unit MRE Taste Test Vintage Meal Ready to Eat Oldest Food Review - YouTube[^]
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

No matter what you think of McShrek, but any homemade hamburger would probably look the same. The bread becomes stale and dehydrated quickly and lasts forever in that state. Cheese hardens and also lasts forever. The meat I don't know, but it has been fried and is quite greasy, so it probably also dehydrates before decomposing.
That's just the way it is. A hamburger mummy looks very much like a fresh hamburger.

I agree wholeheartedly with the McVomits and the hate etc. (especially since I'm a vegetarian and let's be honest, McDonalds isn't for veggies even though they're trying)...
EXCEPT those McFlurry's are delicious!

Not a Vegan though. Milk and what else animal?

Everything except the meat (and fish).
So milk, eggs, cheese...

Are you suggesting there's meat in their products now? When did that happen?

There's a channel on YouTube about military rations.
I watched a 1 or 2 of the videos, instructional at best.
I'd rather be phishing!

Ate MREs for 4.5 years. No biggie. Infantry. Came with the job. A little Tabasco sauce, and they were just fine. Not as bad as most people make them out to be.
The videos you are talking about, I think, are the super old rations from WWI, WWII, Korean war, and I think Vietnam wars. I have seen a lot of those vids and they are funny, if anything.
Here is a little known fact about field rations/MREs/etc. They are designed to keep you from having frequent BMs. Can't be going potty all the time when you are hunkered down in a firefight.

Eight years. No biggie. Luftwaffe. Came with the job. Hung around with our unit's cook. Not as bad as most people make them out to be.

The cooks or the Luftwaffe?
I have known a couple of cooks who can do wonderful things with army rations. Most, however...

I remember when my family first moved to Alaska (1959) my dad was part of the Air National Guard unit and acquired expired C Rations periodically. We used to take them when we went hunting for moose, bear and caribou. Actually pretty good once you figured out what the codes meant on the cans (DO NOT pick the 'potatoes' and try for the canned peaches)
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects! - Lazarus Long

I love the children's novel The higher power of Lucky[^] by Susan Patron. (I'm not the only one - it won the Newbury Medal award for 2007)
I wrote the author an email, asking if that ridiculing of the army surplus food rations (distributed to low-income families) were real - there is a hillarious discussion in the book about whether that stuff really is meant to be cheese or something else than food!). She returned a very enjoyable answer, confirming that the stuff is indeed real, and as described in the book.
I will higly recommnend "The higher power of Lucky". Your children may love it, but as an adult you will see a lot of aspects that most likely goes over the head of the kids. And you will chuckle all the way while reading it, most certainly when it comes to the description of those army surplus food rations.

We're having Cassano's[^] pizza, a Friday favorite in our household. Mrs. Wife usually has a cheese & onions pizza, while I go for pepperoni, onions, and black olives or pepperoni and anchovies. Yes, I like fuzzy fish / sea roaches, etc. etc. Put the strait jacket down. Stop that. Let me go you cossacks!...

I love that key!
When I bought a new keyboard I explicitly wanted a keyboard with that specific key.
I really do miss it when I'm on a keyboard that doesn't have it (like at work).

At least my current keyboard (Microsoft 600) doesn't have the "hibernate" button my Logitech one did. The cat was damn good at finding that one...

I don't think even the windows calculator can calculate 922!. That's a decent size number.
