I've had C rats, K rat, and MREs. I've had TVP.

I'm talking about eating very good food for very little money.

Not survival food.

Every GI I cooked for got the same attention that I gave every VIP I cooked for. I just adjusted to the budget and made the best choices.

If it gets down to eating TVP for years? I'll find anything else to eat. Maybe call it a "Blue Helmet Special"

But we are blessed with lots of game in the US. The Lord provides.

Well, hell, I remember you, or most likely some other cook like you, in another place, another time, after we got off the line and ate at the officer’s mess, ordering a cheese omelet and sausage and fresh-made toast and fried potatoes, many, many moons ago. One of the best meals we ever ate.

That breakfast was greatly appreciated by me and my men.

Well, we feed 3 for about $2.00 each per day - counting garden supplies canning lids and all... Large garden, save seeds from all heirloom open pollinated seeds,. 4 deer and about 45 chickens either canned or frozen - can/pickle/freeze just about anything from Apples to Zucchini (currently have about 80-85 cases of home canned foods)

Hard times? Not here - life is good!
