While you are Active Duty what is the Worst Food that you were given? Where were you at? Did you eat it?

While in AIT, toward the end of our final field exercise, I was handed a Sausage Jumbalaya MRE for breakfast. I tossed it back and ate the beef jerky that I had brought with me.

While I will also nominate the dehydrated beef patty, the worst has to be the omelet. Not the T-Rat version which was at least barely edible, but the MRE version. The omelet MRE was a yellowish block of gelatinous goo with chunks of some kind of animal flesh suspended in it. If you ate it, vomited it back in the bag and then let it cool, I am positive it would return to the same consistency as originally opened. It was horrible.

whoa whoa whoa, submarine food is usually pretty decent. Until you get that one cook on midrats who can't even make rice. But the worst food I ever had was underway on the boat and the supply officer, a former cook himself, marinated the sunday steaks in butter rum extract. You couldn't pour enough frank's red hot to make the taste go away. People were returning their plates to the galley. One of the comments overheard was that it tasted like arm pit flavored $hit.
