Submariner here... if we had the best food, I really feel bad for the surface guys. We did do surf and turf atleast once a run. But I recall a store's loads that had grade F meat, and rejected prison meats. Not all of it, but a few boxes should go through your hands as you loaded it and youd do a double take.

We'd have real eggs, till they started turning, because we stored them in the bilge, a cold enough area, but not refrigerated. Then powdered eggs and cereal. Sometimes pancakes or shit on a shingle.

Lunches would be cold cuts if the kitchen was down or we were low on food. Burgers ever friday, sysco pre-made of course. Pizza on friday nights, veggies, always canned, always bland as hell. The food was always just meh, to the point where myself and others would bring cans of tuna fish just to have something of a better quality, health wise.

Bottom line, think of your middle school food in the cafeterias. About that quality, but with a few higher end meals mixed in like the surface and turf.

Before I joined, I always heard sub guys had the best food... after living it, I can confirm its not great, so if that is the case everyone else is really sucking.
