If there is anything better than a McRib sandwich, can someone please point it out to me?

Yeah, we all had some times back then. Strange how we look back on getting thrown out of places like that as badges of honor isn't it?

Oh, no wait, we called that "World Travel" and "Experiencing Other Cultures".

Things have a funny way of looking better in the rear view mirror. I wasn't usually thrown out, as much as dragged out by Shore Patrol.

I haul about 1.5 million pounds of beef a week from Cargill for my company. The sanitary testing is very stringent. My trucks are regularly delayed because product has been held up for USDA testing. Even though a beef recall makes big news it happens incredibly infrequently when you consider the volume of beef produced annually. The USA butchers over 300,000,000 cattle annually. Being a natural product, there are inherent risks with contamination. You've all seen farms at one time or another. They're dirty. Some of that dirt/mud/feces/urine muck that cattle walk in is gong to occasionally make it into the food chain. Our food production and distribution systems are the cleanest in the history of mankind. The use of ammonia is not a problem. The problem is that Beef Products was exempted from testing and recall.

By the way, do you guys realize that the chickens you buy, even the organic free range ones, are washed in bleach after they're butchered?

"With the U.S.D.A.’s stamp of approval, the company’s processed beef has become a mainstay in America’s hamburgers. McDonald’s, Burger King and other fast-food giants use it as a component in ground beef, as do grocery chains. The federal school lunch program used an estimated 5.5 million pounds of the processed beef last year alone"

It's not just McDonalds.

Stopped eating fast food (with rare exception) in the late '90's and have ground beef and pork at home for nearly as long. The wife has bought ground beef at the market from time to time. After reading this that will not happen again.

What does being a bubblehead have to do with calling your ship a boat? I was on the Shitty-Kitty (CV-63) out of NAS Coronado, we all referred to her as a boat.

Nope. I worked on the flight deck of the USS Tarawa (LHA-1) out of 32nd Street. We all called her a boat.

It's just that I've never heard a skimmer call their ship a boat. Subs have always been called boats.

Great work here fella's, we've got the government and industrial food magnate's feeding us the infected meat scraps that they shovel off the floor with the crap, piss, and puss and you find it a great time to discuss beer and boats!

How about trying to think of something better and greater than your own wallet and mouth once and awhile, and earn your position at the top of the food chain - before you become part of it...

Ammonia treated ground up meat scraps would have been preferable to the crap turned out by the "cooks" on some of the ships I've been on...

Tony Roma makes a pretty good version of that, too. Available frozen in 8 count boxes.

That's the great part of being on a sub; I heard a guy in the chow line actually say: "What, steak and shrimp, again!?"

Yeah, but you have to give up daylight, elbow room and fresh air for 30-90 days at a time for those kind of meals. Not knocking it, just not really an attractive trade off to me.

I heard some scary stories about the goings on onboard a sub. Made me glad I was on a Gator Freighter.

Fair enough! The way I figured it, though, if Ivan can't find you, Ivan can't shoot you. You guys probably got Liberty ports too, I'll bet. What was that like? For us it was 72 days at a time submerged, no Libs, no daylight, no women. Patrol was drag, but I'm glad I did it.
