@Nickiquote It looks like its literally been isolated and desaturated in the photo. Like something they would eat in that diner in Sapphire and Steel.

And Jamie Oliver used to complain about kids being given turkey twizzlers. The US marines would love a turkey twizzler dinner right now.
“Boots on the ground” is no longer possible because we ate all the boots.

Even the food in the navy is battleship grey.

It looks like extremely low quality grocery store Donair meat. (this may be comprehensible only to Atlantic Canadians)

@alessandro Like a doner kebab? I can see that.

@Nickiquote It looks like unheated, preformed Gyro meat. We bought a Gyro dinner kit from Aldi US and before the meat is heated in the pan, it looks like that. Once heated in the pan, it looks slightly more appetizing as it turns a caramel color and the edges curl up.

@ReggieHere I mean, maybe. If it has some tongue in it, that’s probably the best quality meat in there.

I was just as baffled by the grey, mud-like pile.

@Nickiquote this is not the meal of winners.

With nutrition like this, there’ll be more than one blockade in the strait, if you get my meaning.

WTF? Our equipment was old as hell, but our hot food was top notch in the Canadian Army. The MRE/IMPs were hit or miss, but still one hell of a lot better than that.
Gross.

I think it's a slice of donner meat as well.
Perhaps it's been steamed? -

@Sir_Osis_of_Liver I imagine the Canadian Army marches on a stomach full of poutine.

@Nickiquote
Yeah, that's probably it.
Or it's soylent grey... -

Poutine, maple syrup, a double-double and we march all night.

@Nickiquote

Or it's soylent grey...There's no doubt about the carrots being carrots. If the lumpy patty on the right is a burger (meat), then the grey thing would likely be either a starch or another vegetable. My guess: a slice of eggplant, also known as aubergine.
However, of the lumpy thing is a starch, then the grey slice must be meat.

Essentially yes, but you can get a store-bought version here that comes in pre-cut slices that look like that.
