Top-Secret Pentagon Plan Develops Vegetarian Chicken!
The front page of today's Times dining section carries a story about the increasingly sophisticated food sent to U.S. forces stationed around the world, both by patriotic citizens who send individual troops things like organic granola, power bars, and Starbucks coffee beans, and by the Pentagon itself, which is upgrading the food offered.
"The culinary expectations of our war-fighters are rising each year and we want to make sure the palate is well entertained," said Gerald Darsch, director of the Department of Defense Combat Feeding Directorate.
Other new field rations include an expanded line of vegetarian dishes, including lasagna and chicken pesto pasta.
We're waiting to hear about the expanded line of kosher dishes, which we expect will include roasted chicken and bacon cheeseburgers.
