Actually it was this guy.

To be fair, given the time period, French food wasn't all that great.

And unlike in modern times, that foot was not going to get re-attached.

Honestly, I don't know why the US military doesn't just completely cheap out and issue out cans of Crisco, bags of flour and oatmeal, salt, and water rations. And maybe a pack of cigarettes.

There were times when I would have preferred that versus eating MRE's.

Moist fried hardtack with rolled oats almost feels like meat when you eat it. The trick is to stop frying it in a pan when it kinda "feels" like a chunk of boneless chicken. Hell, add a (crushed) bouillon cube while mixing it all up, and it would probably fool a lot of people, at least until they were able to get some real food.

Mmmmm... soldier food for the poors. :hist101:

edit: I usually go with a 50/50 ratio of wheat and oats, and enough water to mix it all together, but not enough to make porridge. And I suddenly feel really loving old. That being said, it's cool and hipster to eat mostly vegetarian food, right?
