Garloids are unironically a fantastic food source, full of vitamins and minerals and nearly pure protein, and the fact they can subsist on nearly anything. Unfortunately their appearance puts people off.

Garloids was one of the worst memes Reddit ever spawned. It was the FingerBox of the 10's.

Did I stutter? I literally posted a meme edit of something a few months ago and within an hour I saw people posting it, reverse image searched and saw it had been posted on reddit for updoots. Literally within an less than an hour of me posting it in 1 (ONE) thread on /k/. This board is the same fucking thing.
And I stand by what I said, garloids is just Finger Box of the 10's.

For reference, here's what proper gyros looks like.

The concept of slices of pre-sliced kebab meat never even entered my mind. That's unholy. Some things just can't be condensed into something that fits in your freezer in single servings.

>this just in, ships that haven't been resupplied for a month in a combat zone have worse food than usual
>especially if said ship isn't a floating airfield
>especially if the last supply procurement didn't expect an extended deployment without fresh resupply
Oh no whatever will they do they might have to eat like DD crews in WW2 for a week or two.

Burkes only carry about 2.5-3 weeks of fresh food and are expected to replenish every 45 days or so.
>but the quality
This isn't the 40s anymore, longer term supplies aren't all shelf stable raw ingredients and canned goods, it's frozen prepacked stuff. Modern vessels don't have shit like onboard bakeries or butcher shops. The fact they have any fresh vegetables is probably due to them having a longer shelf life and not being something cooked frequently. Go tour the Turner Joy, look at the food stores on it, and then tour a capital ship.

They're likely rationing until they can get a resupply. Better to eat something than nothing. Not really sure how they'd let it get this bad though.
Keep in mind that the framing of this image is usually with rhetoric of a deeply unpopular war, so it makes sense to popularize an image showing a weakened military that needs to come home and rest. Technically this is just a single image that's cherry-picked out of context. What is everyone else eating? Is this the tray of someone who just wasn't hungry for some reason? Such figures would be of tactical advantage to the enemy, so it's unlikely that we'll know for now.

I think it's not just the unpopularity, it's the general perception that this was started on a whim and with little of the preparation or planning required to sustain it.
Who knows about the actual context, but it certainly fits the perception.

ship galleys are like a cafeteria line, you pick an entree and whatever sides you want
the faggot in this photo picked a burger and just didn't grab a bun
if there was a bun and some ketchup on it it would look like a totally normal lunch with a random slice of over processed gyro meat next to it

Which, to be fair, is more than enough.
A Burkes can sail about 6000 km in 1 week. Which is more than enough to get in touch with a US base.
And that's assuming they aren't resupplied at sea from said base.

The worst part of this is that it wouldn't take much to make a good stew. It's not like the ship is ever going to run out of onions, potatoes and stock to go with the carrot and mystery meat.

Subs manage to give decent meals and the enlisted men will have all grown up in families making do with what they have so there's no excuse here. The cooks have fucked up here.

Maybe it's low residue food? So you shit less? Typically, mess hall food is crude but decent. Like the cooks are in a rush but also know they've got to eat whatever they cook.

>>65083334
I'd think subs set out with an inventory adapted to long deployments without resupply and limited prep space, i.e. some fresh stuff and then a whole bunch of glorified frozen TV dinners.
Surface vessels get resupplied every 1-2 weeks or even more often, so they're gonna carry perishables and then after a while without "standard" resupply they're gonna have to fall back on an assortment of increasingly less appetizing long shelf life stuff like that dry ass patty and shoe sole looking gyros slice.

A lot of the shit is frozen but they do put some effort into cooking it.

I'm gonna put on the tin foil hat and say that the people defending this nonsense are false flaggers trying to make Americans look as stupid as Russians did when they were still trying to defend their 3 day special operation.
