Whats the weirdest thing you ate while in the military?

I was raised on head cheese and rock mountain oysters,so something like this would not be soooo wierd.

I just don't know what say about that picture and you actually ate it! You one tuff LTC.

SGT (Join to see) The Nigerian beer was cold...so that helped.

I work in Equatorial Guinea across the bay from Nigeria. I see the nationals eating that stuff (and bush meat) but I stay away from it.

So you ate at a Marine chow hall also?

Sgt Packy Flickinger: Actually, I have eaten at all five branches chow halls at one time or another. What I mentioned above was about 10x better than Marine chow, and about 1000x better than Navy chow...

That's interesting to hear. Of the few Navy chow halls I've eaten at, they were tons better than every Marine chow hall I've eaten at. One of the Navy even has busesers. Never eaten at Army or CG. On AF and it was awesome. Like a regular restaraunt. Then again, that was Aviano and the Italians, Germans and British military also ate there. Bon Apeti (however it's spelled).

Guten Appetite !!! is German....las es dir schmecken is also German

I was there once in Jan-Feb 91 and agree... the US chow hall at Eskan Village was much better...

Chicken Feet while in Korea. Some unknown meat sandwich in Desert Storm. Camel? Goat? Never found out.

I ate a lot of the local food while I Baghdad. Was fantastic. They sure knew how to cook, what ever it was.

Eaten lots of stuff from street vendors and smokey little cafe's and market grills all over the Orient. Europe too, but that was usually identifiable.
I could barely get past the smell of Korean GI MREs though - a small taste (fishy?) was all I could handle.
Quite willing to bite most anything - did spit out the half ripe chicken in the Philippines though. Found both dog and monkey quite palatable - though I did not bring the habit home.

Major,
At the end of Desert Storm, I had the opportunity to get my hands on some British MRE's of that era. They had the best bread pudding and hard candy snacks I had ever eaten. I was not sure what the meat was in them, but the accessories were top rate.

I left out fried grasshoppers I ate in Japan. They were really good as long as your imagination didn't get in the way.

SGT (Join to see) - Actually,Keith,i have a very strong stomach,when it comes to being unable to choose what i eat.We (7th and 11th Marines) spent 45 days without any supplies at all on a small hill(LZ Ryder) in Antenna Valley,we ate anything and everything we could scrounge.I still think the Balut might give me pause. lol

Just look at the picture. It will give you more than pause SSgt Terry P. . Ha! Ha!

SGT (Join to see) - Lol--Goodnight,my friend,going bow hunting in the morning need to get some sleep.

Hilarious!

When you tossed it, was it already body processed? I just wouldn't accept such behavior form a latrine.

we didnt have chili mac when I was in !!!

Na, actually the taste was good. We had it the day I was there for lunch. After leaving the mess hall, a Major I was with asked me how I liked the meat, I repiled it was good. He then informed me it was donkey, so really I don't didn't find it much different.

Had horse in Romania and it was pretty good.

Lt Col Stephen Petzold - Did they remove the shoes?

Probably taste like chicken

MCPO Bruce Ormsby, I saw two women digging in to some Balut when I was in Nam. Couldn't force myself to try it after the yolk and blood started dripping out of it, after she dug in with a spoon.

Never could work out the nerve no matter the number of San Miguel's I had

I tried it on my own when I was stationed in PI, (after some San Miguel's and Mojo). Had some for the second time when I was initiated to Chief Petty Officer.

Good Lord...I can not stand to look at that, much less think about eating it!
