What do you think about Navy food?

I just heard a Chief say that yesterday and it was the first time I've ever heard that phrase uttered. Then I read this.
Neat.
Huh? You've got to be kiddin' me! But you're excused 'cause my boat time was in the 60's.
One thing I remember were movie nights in the ready room, all were welcomed. We'd settled in with pilfered food and the OOD arm badge was passed around many times amongst the officers. Guess the officers in my time enjoyed eating on the enlisted mess deck(s). Grub was good, 23 hours a day.
I remember MIDRATS at Cecil. After workin' night check or just watching TV in the barracks, it was great walking to the chow hall for a midnight meal. Oh, and the OOD was there as well.

You know your food is crappy...errr..shitty..You know it sucks when it doesn't make a turd.
The food on Ike the last couple of days wasn't bad. There's nothing that a little sriracha sauce won't fix.
The chocolate chip cookies delivered to the ready room from the SuppO was a nice touch. I'm pretty sure I had about 7 of those in a short time period.

I just flew with a crusty former A-7 driver (USN)...I think he said that at least 17 times during our 3 day rotation...good times!
Somewhat related: with the seeming "explosion" of specific diets and allergies over the last twenty or so years, does anyone know how vegans, vegetarians, or gluten free eaters get by onboard ship? Fresh veggies seem to be aplenty a few days out of port, but after that....Seems like it would be difficult to pull off.
Lots of peanut butter?
But the real question is: if one Sailor has a peanut allergy, does the entire ship need to be nut-free? Asking for every school-kid every where.

Good friend of mine was vegetarian. She ate a lot of peanut butter and jellies.
I think a peanut allergy is disqualifying. One of the Handlers I worked with had a minor peanut allergy that he kept secret from medical out of fear of getting a down chit.
Who cares... Never trust anyone that doesn't eat meat!

I worked with a few vegetarians on the ship it was doable for them but sometimes very difficult near the end of the long underway and lack of food, eventually several stocked up before each underway to be safe, vegan I think would be impossible. I am not sure about now but before if a person had a gluten issue they were not cleared for sea duty. If they choose to be gluten free well good luck.
Not a lot of gluten in undercooked rice, overcooked vegetables and mystery meat.
