Odd - I've eaten Army, Air Force chow halls and the food was crap.

Navy food, by comparison, was excellent.

Espiecally in San Diego.

There's Navy food, and there's USS John King food.
But I'm a picky eater too.
The toast wasn't too bad. If it wasn't an hour old.

Well, then, someone just didn't care. There's no reason for
institutional food to taste bad, even cheap institutional food, if the
people preparing it care. Not on a big ship.


Wasn't a big ship. Crew of about 250.
Same cook my entire 3 1/2 years aboard.
And I didn't say it tasted bad.
It didn't taste. Unless you salted it.
Then it tasted like salt.
Sometimes it came pre-salted though.
