I've certainly had my share of adventurous eats, from alien eateries to the mystery meals (I use that term loosely) contained in C-rats and MREs.<br /><br />I recall one assignment in Germany where our C-rats (MCIs? I don't remember at this remove) had gotten so old that the tomato paste in some of the "foods" had eaten through the can containers. The boss' solution to that wastage was one meal a week in the site's COM made from the C-rats/MCIs to ensure a proper turn-over.<br /><br />Eric HinesE Hineshttp://aplebessite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-22808600796750287532012-04-28T16:06:59.174-04:002012-04-28T16:06:59.174-04:00"I just have other things to do with my time ...<i>"I just have other things to do with my time and resources than go poking for new eateries, just because."</i><br /><br />What it is... I'm pretty open to new adventures, for a geezer in a exoskeleton, other than taking random excursions into the realm of <i>unique</i> foods.<br /><br />WRT adventures in dining, I'll readily admit that I like what I like and I'm not bashful about saying what I don't care to eat, or try. Nope, no more gastrointestinal Russian Roulette simply for the sake of adventure. Been there done that, world wide. Lunge lines nor cattle prods will change my mind.<br /><br />Speaking of BTDT, could it be that more than a few men have sown some less that domesticated oats in their youth making these supposed adventures little more than variations on a theme?<br /><br />Things that make a person rub their chin and say hmmmmm.bthunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789441349826379510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-56635412512031829092012-04-28T12:45:53.051-04:002012-04-28T12:45:53.051-04:00Nah--I just have other things to do with my time a...Nah--I just have other things to do with my time and resources than go poking for new eateries, just because.<br /><br />Now let me back to my Sunday football game, like I've been watching since Alan Ameche was playing.<br /><br />Eric HinesE Hineshttp://aplebessite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-913042946605317112012-04-28T11:56:55.685-04:002012-04-28T11:56:55.685-04:00Hey, I represent that!Hey, I represent that!bthunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789441349826379510noreply@blogger.com
