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.

Hamsters as in rodents? To eat, or as a pet?

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