The US Navy has denied reports of food shortages on board two major vessels participating in the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Yesterday USA Today reported crew aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli were not getting enough to eat.
One photo taken by a Marine showed a mostly empty lunch tray with a single scoop of shredded meat and one tortilla.
Oh, that’s a tortilla! I guess it’s just the lighting that makes it look gray? I hope.
You just know these guys will do their best for Epstein after weeks of eating nothing but the finest cuisine.
Caption says it is unidentified meat.
Looks similar to the packaged gyro strips I buy, but you need more than one for a gyro.
That’s exactly what I thought of when I saw it. It looks a bit undercooked though, those meat strips are a bit like bacon and tend to curl up and bubble when they’re cooked.
Not if you boil them in water.
That really doesn’t look like meat… Or edible for that matter.
Have you seen milspec “food” before? IIRC, it’s “graded” right above prison quality (which is just above dog food, I believe?).
Could it be scrapple? It’s definitely some kind of processed meat that’s been fried on the flat top
Yeah, scrapple was what i was thinking too (there name escaped me when I posted the image though).
There’s a proper photo of the tortilla in the article. That grey thing is “unidentified” meat.
There are two photos that have been going around. One is a tray that has just a lump of minced meat and a couple tortillas, the other has a gray slab, minced meat, and boiled carrots.
I love how to this day, no one can tell what that gray slab on the tray is.
Looks similar to the packaged gyro strips I buy, but you need more than one for a gyro.
Oh OK. In the picture I thought it was some kind of weird fish slice.
It looks like a whetstone. At this rate, the sailors will need to sharpen their implements and start hunting each other for sustenance…
And both are in the article for the small minority that manages to click the link
One folded tortilla; apparently the grey thing is “gyro meat,” that’s not been shredded and reheated on a flat grill.
Meat is not flat, gray, and shiny
