This seems like the right thread for this.

Edit: Since it wasn't apparent, the guy survived without major injury thanks to his helmet. He definitely did not have a good time, though.

This reminds me of something that happened when I was a kid. I was a base brat and the base was doing a family day, where you get to look at vehicles, weapons on tables, and sometimes if you're lucky enough, take a ride in one of the vehicles. This family day was manned by 2PPCLI which is an infantry regiment. Their armoured recce platoon decided to take kids on a tour around the base in a TLAV(m113), which was bad-rear end. The only hiccup was that they forgot to switch to road tracks.

I've had a Muslim tell me that guest customs > food rules, at least within his school of law. If he's at somebody's else's house and the host unwittingly offers him a ham sandwich, the correct course of action is to accept it and wash his hands after dinner.

This also applies for kosher Jews. Only the most radical Jews and Muslims actually demand that you engage in starvation rather than violate dietary restrictions if it comes down to that. Eating taboo food as a last resort for your own survival or safety is acceptable in God's eyes.

But if you just need to skip a meal it's okay. And you're not allowed to actively or negligently engineer your circumstances so you're "forced" to eat something on-kosher.

For example, Orthodox Jews who travel from Israel to destinations where kosher food can't be guaranteed will take canned goods with them.

That's how Spielberg ended up the only person on the Raiders of the Lost Ark crew that didn't get deathly sick in Tunisia - a suitcase full of canned tuna, and that's all he ate.

Mostly morbid curiosity. I usually bring a can of spam or corned beef camping. Surely it's basically just canned corned beef?

Yeah, it's just canned corned beef. I had some here in the US and it tastes (and smells :barf:) the same.

When you're in the field, and you're hungry, and you get to fry it up a bit.... it's edible. I'll give it that.

Tinned beef is not that bad you big baby

Fry it up with some onion and potato and maybe throw a sunny egg on top and you've got the best breakfast a scout troop could ask for

Corned beef out the cab is best when it’s in the form of a canned hash. So good. So greasy, but so good.

It really helps if you brown it. Canned corned beef (and corned beef hash) is delicious with hot sauce maybe a little bit of runny yolk.

I always scotch the exterior of either and drown it in tabasco. Always Tabasco. There’s better hot sauce out there but there’s something about the flavor of just vinegar and peppers that works with canned stuff.

I have a weird nostalgia for powdered eggs. I could never eat them on a daily basis, or even more than very rarely, but whenever I have them it’s like some weird mental time warp.

My only exposure to powdered eggs was when InRange did the WW2 British Rations series a few years ago (edit: January 2018, god drat it feels like a lifetime ago), and Ian cooked some. It looked weird, but I'd try it (with low expectations).

TDY to Ramstein, initial impression after looking around is that it feels good to know that sleazy bootstrappy Americans aren't the only ones with hardons for used car lots with stars and stripes out the rear end to milk cash from are troops.

e. Someone I was on course with (name stalker IIRC) recommended kratman, I think I got through the blurb of the space Muslim one before saying gently caress that noise.

When we went TDY to Ramstein our commander at the time wanted us to get him some wine from some guy named Christoph whose place was up the Mosel. Everyone I talked to there said his stuff was overpriced and his business was largely based on his ability to make dumb Americans feel important. I'd say our old commander definitely fits the bill.

Our highest ranking guy, the guy a little up thread who tossed away his retirement with 2 years left, didn't plan it real well. We went burning up there after being released from work without calling ahead. They weren't open or something and the lady who answered didn't speak much English. But he kept banging on the door and I was certain we were going to have the Polizei called on us as I tried to disappear into my seat while he kept banging for 5 minutes.
