I just read on http://www.bertc.com/recipes.htm that you have MUSK-flavored Life Savers.

Really?

If so, Eeeeew.

Helen, repeat after me: "This is not a food thread, merely a cultural inquiry. This is not a food thread, merely..."

The Aussies have it good. The Army used to serve us shit on a shingle. (creamed chipped beef on toast.)

Oh yeah, Bill, them Aussies're just like pigs in shit. I mean, I'd really much rather that the army fed me musk-flavoured life savers for breakky than stew on toast, I really would ...

Dear CK: No accounting for tastes. I was just reading an article about truffles, which said that truffles put out a fragrance like boar pheromones, and that's why the sows used to find them bite the fingers off the
truffieres who try to get the truffles away from the sows
Hey, consuelo, is that why you like truffles?

Actually, there are those, myself included, who actually like S.O.S., provided it's made with dried beef, not hamburger. It certainly beats Spam, which seems to be a favorite dish in Hawaii although it's a sort of superior C-ration. (Not but what fried Spam on white bread with mustard isn't a bad sandwich.)

Dear Bobyoungbalt: Actually the Canadian bacon in the C rations was very good. I assisted at the autopsy of an American Major who had a half dozen US .45 bullet holes in his back because he took all of the Canadian bacon our of his unit's C-ration for himself.
