Worse crap you ever ate!

Vultures won’t eat a javelina. Neither will wild coyotes or bobcats.

What do you expect from kosher animals?

Hospital food. Period

Anyone old enough to remember C rations? Ham and mothers, the worst food in the entire world.

As a young teen attended an after service Sunday dinner. Grabbed a piece of what I thought was pecan pie. Turned out to be mincemeat pie. Yuck and nasty! But with all that being said, I'd rather be at one of those gatherings than any high end steakhouse. All those ladies put out their best dish and home cooking and it just can't be beat.

I think the ham and eggs were the worst. Loved the tuna. I used to bring packs of mayo with me and make tuna salad.

Scrapple.................

I love scrapple. Thin-sliced and fried crispy. Nothing like a egg, cheese, scrapple, bacon and sausage on a bagel sandwich!

I think these replaced the ham and MFs. I recall the chopped ham and eggs having a greenish tinge to them. Heating, if ever available, didn't help.

OMFG, you had to post that! That’s the demon meal! I only knew one troop that liked them, and he was a former gyrene lol.

A friend who served in Vietnam told me that the worst was the canned bread. They would toss those cans off to the little kids begging on the side of the road and most times the kids would throw them back.

...and this was my own fault. In Panama, the year before our invasion, working a mission out in the jungle. A collection of vehicles and a tent surrounded by concertina. I was working in a hut on the back of a 5-ton...nice AC for the computers, but leaving the hut and going outside was brutal. Well over a hundred degrees, even on the night shift, and the jungle is as black as a coal mineshaft - not a bit of light.
I had just exited the hut, trying to adjust to the sudden change in temp and humidity, and was heading down the stairs from the back of the 5-ton when I heard some of our troops announce that mid rations had been delivered, and were "over near the vehicles." I staggered down the ladder, bumped into the box normally used to bring in the mid rats sandwiches, and grabbed one as I was headed toward the admin area and scarfed it down as I walked. Working 12-hour shifts makes you hungry.
About an hour later, I was in the hut, dragging butt, waiting for shift to end as as it was starting to get light. I heard someone yell from outside, "Hey! these mids rats sandwiches have mold all over them! Orange mold!" Someone from one of the other vehicles told him that those were left over from the previous shift, and were going out in the garbage. The food box was over near the tent.
I realized what I had done, and why I was starting to feel so peculiar, and why that ham and cheese sandwich had tasted a little funny.
I spent two full days sitting on the crapper in the barracks with a bucket between my feet, spouting from both ends. Luckily I had two buddies who took turns bringing me crackers and water and yelling at me to go to sick call. I lived through it, but sure didn't want to at the time!
I've had food poisoning on three different continents, but man....that was the worst!

The fruitcake was much, much worse.

Deployed on a Navy Frigate in 1984 to the Western and South Pacific. Somehow our Supply Officer misplaced a decimal point when ordering food stores and we ended up with too much creamed corn. You know what "too much creamed corn" is if you ever got it served to you more than once a month. We had it almost every meal except breakfast.

I served on that Frigate from 1982 to 1986. Great ship. The commissioning crew Supply Officer had an Extruded Potato Machine installed in the galley and hailed as a cost saving miracle machine and the future of food service. It would make french fires, string fries, curly fries, hash browns, mashed potatoes, some sorta-like baked potatoes, au gratin-ish potatoes, scalloped potatoes, cubed potatoes, sweet potatoes (add dye and brown sugar)...every freaking kind of potato dish you could imagine or have feverish nightmares about. Just add water to the potato powder. That powder had a half-life like U-235. The SUPPO loved that machine. The crew hated it. More importantly, our commissioning Captain (an O-6, pretty hefty for an Oliver Hazard Perry FFG) in his last act before being relieved had the SUPPO unbolt that Potato Extruder and toss it overboard in 1983. God Bless Captain R__f.

What did an extruded potato taste like? I extrude something every morning after my third cup of coffee. But let's be polite and say it tasted like cardboard,

I noticed Brookshire Brothers in Buffalo had fruit cakes not in tins rather plastic wrapped with the cardboard cake mold in place. I also know their high end "David's" cookies are from Collins street. I asked the bakery lady about the fruit cake hoping she was going to say they are Collins street, but got I hate fruit cake instead!

Those "David's" cookies were pretty danged good Baboon!

I do like a good fruitcake. My grandmother use to give all of us a fruitcake from Eilebergers every year for Christmas. I can't think about Christmas without thinking about a fruitcake, and my grandmother.

I could eat fruit cake year round, but it reminds me of my mom father who liked it! He mostly got really shitty ones that might have been gifted! We ate them together after they had a proper soaking. Some got rum other whiskey, but he did it on each one before we would eat them. It was the only way I ever seen him use alcohol other then a toddy when sick.
