I'm sure that the Eastern Europeans would rather take their dodgy canned meat over the strange food-substitute product being sold by an insane American who doesn't poop.

France has a pretty active army too, I wonder what they think of these rations when they're out on the field.

Emergency foodstuffs are also unhealthy from a normal foodstuff perspective. They're supposed to deliver a lot of calories fast, which is great if you're starving, but bad if you're living a normal life and eating normal meals on the side, because you'll get fat. As for the advantages they could get from commercial sales, charitable organizations tend to be very wary of normal commercial business practices. They don't want to go down a slippery slope into becoming a plain old business, or even worse, be perceived by potential donors as doing such..

Furious Lobster posted:Horse is delicious and am a bit surprised when British people went up in arms over Horsegate. It's mostly mislabeling that puts people on edge. If I bought a tub of Crisco and I opened it up and found it full of delicious ice cream, I'd definitely be put off edge. There were also concerns because the horses that had been butchered weren't raised for their meat, they were workhorses that had recently been taken off of the streets of Romania and had various drugs in them that might've been unsafe for human consumption. Other than that, a lot of people these days have a lot of weird hangups about eating various meats because they're so far removed from animals that their main image of them are cuddly little cartoon critters or treasured pets.

Trying to make an inedible thing edible is just a matter of trying hard enough, but what I want to know is how could people possibly have kept trying to eat deadly poisonous things like fugu.

That's not a bug, it's a feature so that you can eat the rice like a granola bar.

He actually screwed up and got gizzard instead of liver. Very different organ.

There's a very weird point in American culinary history where everything was all about canned goods for some reason. Some kind of combination of fresh foods unavailable and blind futurism thinking that the foods with all this new technology put into preserving them were better. I didn't know that coleslaw was supposed to be savory though, but I guess I never eat it.

Fondue was basically an invention to salvage Switzerland's cheese industry after tyrannical mismanagement by the Swiss Cheese Union left them with a massive glut in the market for the only three varieties of cheeses they allowed. One of those triumphs of modern marketing. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2014/10/10/355177578/episode-575-the-fondue-conspiracy
