I thought sailors always had a top galley chef and good food as a way to keep morale up on board
Food in the Navy is generally mid to bad. I just asked my deployed friend what he thought of it and he was less than impressed. That being said, Submarine crews generally get better food because they literally have nothing else.
Until your deployment gets extended twice, you haven’t surfaced the boat for fresh air in 50 days, and the food runs so low that whatever you had for dinner last night is what’s mixed with the (fake, fresh ran out months ago) eggs. The only meat left, for every recipe requiring meat, is ham. The fresh milk ran out after a month, and only the ultra pasteurized plastic shit is left.
Get that good irridiated milk glug on. Shelf stable for 50 years, tastes exactly like it.
That classic plastic cow taste, now with added decayed lettuce slime on the bag from being buried in the bottom of the reefer for 6 months!
