        I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. And I make canned soup for a living.

          just when you think that it can't get any worse!
          The reason that the American Army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices chaos on a daily basis.

            I think I am with Targan. It looks like this is only in England, but if this gets here, I will try one.

              It is a fake. The person credited with creating it is a graphic designer not a food engineer. (He is quoted in the original UK telegraph article)

              Here is his original project art


              That was adapted by a video game store as part of a viral marketing plan.

                I STILL think it is an idea that someone will eventually create. And as I said in an earlier post, if it happens, I might just take a swing at trying it. I am not saying it would be a permanent part of my "stash" but it just seems like fun to me.

                  Given the requirement doc for US military brownies is 26 pages, I cannot imagine what it would require for something like this to pass muster.

                    I agree, Kato, this monstrocity will never make it to the US military. But I would not be suprised if someone tries to make this.

                      It sort of reminds me of a scene in Repo Men, where one of the characters is eating out of a can that is simply labelled "Food."

                        Eventually someone will attempt to make and market this. I fear for the future.

                            Nah, they will put out to bid quite openly. Probably as a canned meal for displaced refugee populations. Then after its accepted repackage it for the military consumption and for FEMA.

                              If during peacetime such a generic "food" was developed for FEMA it would probably be bland but pretty healthy. Creating a food that would not offend any vegans nor anyone of anyone following religious dietary laws would really restrict what would be put in it. You would probably be limited to the basic grains and beans as well as a pretty basic spice palate.

                              As far as the 12 course meal in a can, I cannot see the cost of the stability research for such an item being overcome by end user demand. I think 3d food printing of such an item for instant use would probably come first.
