“Maybe it is made of...
PEOPLE!”
Soylent Green!
If this stuff causes constipation, as the author says, or hints at, it’s not right to make it the only food prisoners can get. That is cruel, not just unusual.
“NO! Anything but Nutriloaf!”
Wow, it must be bad... :O
When I was in the Marines in the early 1980s, the least favorite MRE among us was “chicken loaf”. Perhaps that was the precursor to this “nutraloaf.”
“If you want the recipe, ask me.”
I used to make something like this except I used potatoes and teriyaki sauce. It was actually pretty good. Teriyaki sauce makes all the difference, I guess.
Sounds like a weee bit of wheat germ in there as well.....
When we did a self contained 3 week patrol our customized aka bastardized MRE was stripped down an we added large slices of fruitcake from Collins street bakery in Corsicana TX an Beef Jerky made near FT Lewis / McCord AFB in WA.
Also a mix of wheat germ an oatmeal with raisins.
We brought food back in some cases...
3000+ calories per ration pack we estmated. If this nutraloaf would keep in normal temperatures no doubt DOD would have an equally bad ration for such long term patrols....
Sounds like school lunch, or college dorm. food.
And they have somewhere else to be?
Gives em something to do.
Are you kidding? That is a favorite recipe in our house.
L2 Stew - leftover leftovers.
I love it!
Gorp. Chocolate, raisens, peanuts, anything else handy...
