That's weirdly bordering on Asian.

"bag rat's" or Bag rations (British MRE's) were pretty poor last time I tried them. Though I hear they have been all changed since. To make them better or make them cheaper I have no idea.

I drain ducks of their moisture for sustenance.

A small cockroach that was accidentally (I hope so at least) baked into a loaf of bread.
The most interesting part about this was how my scumbag brain reacted to it:
After biting on something crispy and seeing black chitin in the bread, the realization of what was actually happening was so slow that I actually took a second bite until my mind finally couldn't deny anymore what was going on and I threw up.
I guess I don't have the best survival instincts and probably wouldn't survive a week in the wilderness.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Most definitely the Denver omelette MRE. Even if you chose to use the food heater in the MRE and not make a bomb out of it because you were bored, it was still nasty. The stroganoff was edible if you used the heater.

When I was downrange I worked the 1800-0600 shift, so I normally just ate something around midnight. However, the midnight chow was pretty much whatever was left over from evening chow, just burned more due to being left under a heating lamp all night. Also it always got mortared around the same time so I ended up just living off of MREs while at work instead of walking all the way there and risk having to lie in a ditch for two hours after the attacks, missing chow...this happened often. For some reason people threw away the milkshakes, which actually weren't bad. If I got the infamous Denver omelette, I'd just toss that and gather up whoever else had the strawberry milkshake and make lots of pudding out of it.

Well, the Gauls apparently survived on bark, bugs, lizards, and leaves. That bug should have given you the strength to take Rome or something. Lol

Switched my standard Israeli MREs with an American friend to see whose was worse.

Yep... eating the beef stroganoff was like eating it after the previous eater had had serious diarrhea.

On eating things voluntary and enthusiastically:

Om Nom Nom.

With chips and onion gravy please.



I definitely agree, it still is the worse thing on the planet.

Once tried a old local burger place in a town in the north east U.K. when i was visiting and i dont think i ever had worse food in my life. I asked for a cheese burger and it was breads and dry hamburger meat and a slice of cheeze...
and that was it, no tomatoes , no garlic, no ice berg sallad or ketchup or mustard or dressing at all.
I ate it and then had to go to the shop to buy a cola to get the dry taste off my tounge.. Ugh

Next time i sample food at a unknown food place im gonna make sure to ask what i get inside the hamburger Big smile

When i was a young kid my mums broccoli in cheeze used to mak my stomach turn, just the smell of oven cheeze and broccoli had the effect on me. P

Those the oatmeal ones you're talking about BP?

Yeah those are lush.

UK rations arent that bad.

Burger and beans was good, and bacon and beans.

I've had tripe, and it really depends on the quality of the chef. I've also had cow lung, cow udder, and sea cucumber (minus guts). None of those were all that bad, and I didn't have the urge to spit out any of them.

But fermented duck egg is something I will politely, or vehemently, refuse, if necessary from now on. It has a flavor that says to the untrained or unwilling palate "this is rotten, spit it out!" I once helped my SO prepare for a party where these eggs were served, and I got the job of peeling the shells off. Inside the egg is an ammonia jelly surrounding the black fermented part of the egg. It smells so strongly of ammonia and sulphur that you'd think it was poisonous, and when coming from less scrupulous producers it is (lead poisoned), though the smell is no indication.

Granted, my SO considers it a tasty snack.

Saw a show on PBS once about "Taste", and they had Americans try to eat a plate of "1000 Year Old Eggs", and Asians a wheel of Stilton cheese.

Results were the same: after about 20 minutes, both were being greedily devoured.
