My dad served on USS Yorktown and USS West Virginia during WWII. The Navy bought untold quantities of mutton from the Aussies during the war. My dad was so sick of the stuff that by the end of the war, that he would not allow my mom to fix anything for dinner that had sheep in it. Wasn’t until I left home at age 21 that tasted lamb or mutton for the first time.

My dad was in Korea and was sick of rice.

Hated the stuff though Mom ground it up for some recipes that required it.
