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

@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.

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

@Nickiquote I presume Hegseth renamed it to the Department of War because there was no way he could defend that.

@Nickiquote and also, fucking hell, there is not a single vitamin nor mineral anywhere on that plate, no wonder they're not winning

@Nickiquote OMG!
They showed this photo in French TV with the comment: If we were to do that to our marines, we’d have a mutiny on our hands straight away.
Well, this is the French way on an aircraft carrier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZKxqCesUCo (starts at 4:15)

@spytfyre near to my idea!

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.
@Sir_Osis_of_Liver @Nickiquote look forward to Emmy trying a slice of that mingin stuff

@Nickiquote Stop complaining and eat your grey and brown.

@Sir_Osis_of_Liver @Nickiquote when I was in air cadets in the 90s everyone hated the ham omelette (but the rest were fine)

The only time I really had an issue with IMPs was one winter exercise where, for whatever reason, the QM couldn't get breakfast meals, so all we got was corned beef hash.
Even that wouldn't have been awful, but we never had time to heat them in the morning, so ate them cold. Hell of a way to start the day.
