Bacon

[Andrew Homan]

I have had more bacon over here that I ever did in Texas or Oregon.

what gives?

Locals "don't" eat it, hence send it over to bases/compounds... Which catering company is doing the food nowadays? Way back they had RA and them dudes primarily cooked the shit that gurkhas liked, so it wasnt all that. But it has improved quite a bit last time I was there.
The bacon thing sounds like ox tail in Baghdad, damn thing was always "on the menu", probably cause South Africans and Kiwis loved that stuff.

It's part of the CIA PsyOps campaign to erode Muslim culture and tradition.

Or maybe it's a Taliban op, so the natives can sniff you out and hate you filthy pork eating critters?

Me, I dig swine.

You, keep your head down.

Supreme is doing all the meals. Not bad for chow hall food. You are right they cook a lot of stuff the Gurkhas like. I swear there is bacon and sausage every moring

Bacon is one of the best things for a warrior to eat - you guys are all getting (ostensibly) shit tons of exercise, and it is not only calorically dense, it also is high in cholesterol and sodium. Sodium is important for maintaining hydration and nutrient balance inside and outside the cell-walls, and cholesterol is where our bodies derive androgens, IE, Vitamin T, the TRUE breakfast of Champions.

So yeah. Bacon-up, bro. Nature's steroids.

Keep some in your pocket. If you get in a tight spot you can throw it at them and they'll run.

LOL Bacon Grenades! I'm gonna patent that shit, sell it to the DOD, and split my profits with John for giving me a new product idea to market.

Back when I was in the Peace Corps in a muslim country, there wasn't a single wild critter in the whole friggin' country - no rabbits, deer, squirrels, whatever - 'cept for wild boar. (They would eat the plentiful cork nuts and they themselves weren't on the locals' dinner table.) Everything else had been killed and eaten centuries before. Curious if there any hunting of wildlife in Astan, save for the obvious, two-legged varmints....

Though rare and limited only to the forested mountainous areas, the locals grew up absolutely in fear of wild boar. As children, they would be warned that if they didn't behave and shape up, mom was gonna put 'em outside at night for the "aloof"....

Bacon grenades...smart concept, Jen....

Cheers

Update. Had more bacon this morning prior to a couple of missions.

Andrew, if you are ever in St. Louis I am taking you for a maple bacon cupcake from Jilly's Cupcake Bar.

All them monkeys, squirrels, etc. are just "bush meat" to some locals. Funny seeing a guy pushing a wheel barrow full of chopped up monkey corpses in Africa though. Shit never got old.

It's a determent, keeps the bacophobes on the other side of the wire.
