I thought sailors always had a top galley chef and good food as a way to keep morale up on board
I can verify personally that this is absolutely false. I remember fondly when the warrant officer onboard would volunteer to help in the galley, and on those days the burgers not only got seasoned, but cooked with the cheese on top! This happened infrequently, but was amazing when it happened.
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.
So the movie "Under Siege" is a lie then? There are no action hero super chefs who can sautee with a machine gun and kill at the grill?
They have good food when they leave harbour but on a long mission the good stuff will run out
I bet they don't even butter the lobster!
They all deserve unflavored oatmeal for every meal.
I would have loved if unflavored oatmeal were an option at every meal! I could have saved a fortune on cup noodles and instant mac&cheese!
They make you pay for your food? What a shit military.
Nah. I stocked up before deployments and stashed it all under the deck plates of my workspace for days when the food from the galley was particularly inedible. But the ship store did have such such items for purchase, and those items certainly sold!
You sound like a spiteful person. Remind me not to serve with you
