 DSac> Well, bear in mind that "MRE" stands for "MEAL, READY TO EAT,
 DSac> INDIVIDUAL."

 DSac> Here's another ringing endorsement.  PETA, always on the alert for
 DSac> cheap publicity, has a webpage about vegetarian MREs, and quotes

 DSac> Judith Aylward as saying, "Some of the Marines who taste-tested

 DSac> eating the meal was like eating at the Olive Garden."

   When our son Bryan was in Baghdad, he did have some difficulty
   getting a balanced diet of vegetarian friendly food from the hot food
   lines.  He did mention that the vegetarian MREs were ok -- but not
   always available.

 DSac> LOL @ the moron who thought that was a compliment (in either
 DSac> direction.)

    The sad thing is that I used to like Olive Garden.  Back when I was
   working full time, it was a place that was often used for office
   luncheons.   They had good bread sticks, salads and a very good soup.
   After I retired, Gail and I went there and had a not so good meal.  I
   convinced her to give it one more try -- and then even I had to admit
   that they were not what I remembered.  The soup was watery, with
   sausage crumbs instead of sausage pieces.  The pasta sauce was either
   a thick paste (alfredo) or thin and watery.  A chicken dish was just
   as displeasing.   I think that was more than five years ago and we
   have not even thought of going back there.
