Still trying to work out what that flat grey thing is on that photo of the US navy meal.

@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.

Even the food in the navy is battleship grey.
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.

@Nickiquote
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
Yeah, that's probably it.
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.

@alessandro Like a doner kebab? I can see that.
Essentially yes, but you can get a store-bought version here that comes in pre-cut slices that look like that.

@alessandro Ah I can see that. They’ve done horrible things to it though.

“Boots on the ground” is no longer possible because we ate all the boots.
@Nickiquote well, it really does look like the insole of a boot. Though when Chaplin eat his boot in the Gold Rush it was actually made of licorice.

@marjolica I was going to include a gif of that.

It is actually different! Beef rather than lamb, and instead of tzatziki it's "Donair sauce" made with condensed milk, vinegar, and garlic powder. No worse than Tikka Masala being quintessentially English, although it is admittedly odd.

It's the part of the meal classified as "vegetables, fresh" probably.

@Sir_Osis_of_Liver In East London if you order a double-double you get double pie and double mash.

Now that looks interesting.
Like my coffee, I'd stick with a regular (single) order though.

it looks a tiny little bit like konjaku but if you told me to imagine a slice of a boiled or steamed loaf of a pasted mixture of all of the following ingredients* or some of them in the least possible appetizing way than that would be what i imagine.
* (fatty) meat; tofu; tahini/sesame seeds; some kind of grains or flour; maybe some alibi egg plant for additional grey color enhancement.
