Eats, Shoots and Leaves

When one is out at the dirt end of a logistics tail, what one gets to eat takes on a whole new importance. The horror stories about military rations are told no matter what army one is speaking of, and the comparisons between forces (and branches of service) as to who gets the "best" food are a staple of many a soldier's conversation. In American service, the much derided but essential MRE has been renamed many times over from its official reference: Meal, Ready-to-Eat...

And faced with this sort of problem, into the fray is deployed the U.K.'s finest: Gordon Ramsey, celebrity chef.

Victory is now at hand.

The entirely unrelated title to this thread is from joke and title of a superb book on the essential nature of punctuation. Consider this a free endorsement. ((grin))
