I don't think I'd want to even see something like that.

He's back with the coalition troops in Afghanistan, accompanying them at their forward bases and on patrol. He spent some time with Kilo Company of the US Marines - "The Dirty Third" - and showed the very basic living conditions they endure. Their meals consist of Beef Burgundy and Chicken and Vegetables; he explained that the British forces believe the Americans have better catering on operations with plentiful supplies of steak... I have very limited personal experience of armed forces catering. It ranges from the mouldy bread at a Midlands RAF station and the stodge served up at a Royal Engineers barracks (they could have built bridges from that) to the excellent dining at an Officers' Mess and the wonderful British Army beef curry to which we were treated at the local Military Police mess occasionally. Those rations must be nutritious as the troops have to carry all that kit in high temperatures wearing body armour. But, seeing their meals makes one very grateful for fresh fruit and vegetables!
