Wining and Dining
 

I saw you guys talking about a food & beverage forum.

Vote for it or not and offer up potential names. It would probably fit best in the At Ease section.

Hell yes, we mark our occasions with celebratory foods and drinks. Does this group do it different? Probably. Even the rations you guys pack in the field plays a part in how far you can go per excursion. Food and drink was a continual sub-thread in Major John Plaster's last book.

Since I can now cook to please myself, I am always searching for new recipes and ideas. I know very few drinks - Rum & Coke, White Russian, Frozen Margarita - that I have actually tried. On occasion, I come across a SPAM recipe that I will be happy to share. ;) Wonder if they make drinks with that, too? Hmmmmm. :eek:

TR

gourmet guerrilla - 'gûr-may gu'-ri-luh [n] (Old SF) -
Irregular, predominantly indigenous forces devoted to refined sensuous enjoyment (especially good food and drink) conducting military and paramilitary operations in enemy-held or hostile territory. See unconventional dining.

TR

I made it so.

Someone want to write description for the forum? Any ideas? One sentence only.

What's the difference between a Gourmet Guerrilla and a Guerrilla Gourmet?

Stand-down food and drink

Team Sergeant, Great name, well done! I see a Professional Soldiers cookbook coming out of this!

In keeping with TR's refined definition how about...

Conventional and uncoventional sustenance and libation.

I like that, Gypsy.

Conventional, bite your tounge!

We'll have no conventional ideas floating around on this bulletin board!

How about

Uncoventional sustenance and libation

TS

"It sings!"

And after the Mod's beer, ice cream and brownie float, very appropriate.

TR

I did...it hurts...lesson learned. ;)

I like your revision very much.

Probably just enough. How the hell did I miss That!!!!

The C-4 Diner
 

The C-4 Diner has a nice ring to it. BTW, just before I retired while stationed in Hawaii I started my next endeavor as a chef apprentice and finally earned my Certified Executive Chef standing. I had to give that up unfortunately around 2015 due to the ticker going bad amongst other things.
But, I still have quite a bookshelf and a lot of recipes floating through the cranium.
If anybody needs any answers, curiosity or such give me a shout.

Here's something for the rucksack;

1 - packet of coffee creamer *
1 - packet of dehydrated coffee *
1 - packet of sugar *
1 - package of cocoa mix *

4 ounces of unsalted mixed nuts
2 ounces of coconut flakes
4 ounces of raisins
2-4 ounces of dark chocolate (at least 77%)

* = mocha mix.

Place it all in a zip lock bag. 3 bags per day are good for cold weather burst of energy and heat. Used during a couple of winter exercises, sure lightened the load in the ruck. :)
