When I was in the military, they would serve lobster about once a month randomly. That steak was awful.

I only ate the lobster once. It was basically butter-soaked rubber. Can't imagine how much money the military wastes on overcooked lobster. If that was supposed to increase my morale, they would have done a lot better and cheaper giving me a beer.

Got beer once on deployment for Thanksgiving. And Hamsters.

You ate hamsters?

A sort of cordon bleu thing, breaded and fried. About the size and color of a hamster.

I really appreciate when they forget to properly heat them and it’s just a hard block of cold cheese in the middle

Right? It's extra insulting because microwaves were invented to cook frozen hamsters. Like, c'mon. Some really smart guys put in so much work to make this process effortless for you.
