20 years in the Navy, 10 of them spent on aircraft carriers.
You put almost anything in front of me, I can eat it.
Except chili mac. It’s not that it tastes bad, i just ate soooooooo much chili mac on ship I don’t ever want to see it again.
My father was that way about rice for at least 30 years after WWII and Korea. He was in the Navy and claimed they ate rice morning, noon and night. It was only when he was in his 60s that he began to eat rice again.
Uncle was on a battleship in WW II. Said that they got baloney sandwiches in which the baloney was somehow so soggy that they’d use the bread to dry it off, throw the bread away, and just eat the baloney.
