062012 What?! 3 'exploding stars?' Are you crazy? At most maybe four.

062012  What?! 3 'exploding stars?' Are you crazy? At most maybe four.
 
People ask me often what the food is like in Kabul and for the most part it's your basic institutional food that you'd find at your basic federal detention center (not that would personally know...)  But on the US bases I think the food is better because it's paid for by the US.  But on a NATO base (such as HQ ISAF) it's paid for by NATO.  (But does that really mean much considering 2/3 of the funding of NATO comes from the US?)  Anyway I digress.  Here's an artical that does a fine good job of examining the culinary delights that can be found on military bases in Afgahnistan.  But 3 'exploding stars' for HQ ISAF!?!? Are you crazy? At most maybe four.

  1. The journalist really likes french cheese. Feel bad for the lower end bases. Inmates in US prisons probably eat better than they do.

  2. Hmmmm..... when you're cooking for hundreds, if not thousands, at a time you're bound to lose that extra degree of care that turns a regular recipe into a superb dish.

  3. From the pictures and article, it isn't the recipe, it is the ingredients. Refer to HQ ISAF and then look at Camp Eggers. Just looking at the pictures as comparision, you can tell there is a quality issue of ingredients.
