I'd like to see a Naval Officer cook anything, let alone a sandwich.

In the Army Officers serve food on christmas. At least in combat arms units.

You made me snort part of my breakfast sandwich out of my nose.

Traditional food and drink? - Vodak?

It would be well for your government to consider that having your utensils and ours, your condiments and ours, in such proximity... is inherently DANGEROUS. Wars have begun that way, Mr. Ambassador.

On thanksgiving a couple years ago my XO (From the John C. Stennis) served turkey and cranberry sauce to the enlisted guys. I think they do it every year, thanksgiving just happened to be the one holiday i usually didnt have duty on.

I thought the sex came after the disputes? Also, that conjures a horrible image of Bush and Saddam trying to work things out. Thanks a lot.

Scheiss, two of my favorite organizations in the world getting together in my favorite foreign city in the world to hold a competition on my favorite hobby in the world and I'm stuck here doing schoolwork.

Just great... just frickin' wonderful.

I think the US Navy should start doing some training with Arthur Dent. That'll seal the win for us.

Will the Russians be making ultra fast, quiet submarine sandwiches that "don't react well to bullets?"

Key word being "serve," not cook. From what I saw, the Colonel and the brigade Command Sergeant Major just ladled it onto your tray, they didn't actually prepare it. Which is probably a good thing.

The problem with this is in the navy the CS's (culinary specialists/cooks) don't normally make sandwiches. Enlisted folks only get peanut butter and jelly, officers and chiefs get an actual sandwich bar with meat and cheese but they still have to make it themselves (yeah i know, poor bastards). Only the CO, XO and admiral (if one is on the ship at the time) get their own personal sandwich makers.

/never once saw pre-made sandwiches as part of a meal for us enlisted folks, but on a carrier with over 4000 e-6 and below it makes sense to make crows do it themselves. Imagine making 4000 ruebens 3 times a day...carpel tunnel anyone?

Geopolitics has never been so delicious.

/American secret weapon = bacon.
//BLTs and Club sandwiches FTW.

ЗДРАВСТВУЙТЕ, ТОВАРИЩИ!

And actually, it should be "OM NOM NOMSKI, Tovarisch".

/Just sayin'.

My Russian professor once told me that when she came to America, she was amazed by the variety and craftsmanship put into the average sandwich. Russia has their pirozhki, Italy's got pasta, France has pastries, and we've got sandwiches.

But on the other hand, who knows what top-secret BLT recipes the Kremlin might have snagged in the '50s?

They're putting the CSs on a DDG up against the "best" Russian Navy cooks?

Pull a submarine into port (yeah, right...) and THEN we'll talk about a US-style food-fight beatdown.

That's «ОМ НОМ НОМ НОМСКИЙ» to you!

Sandwiches suck.

When you gis Russian sandwich

I must have a loaf of "Ameri-bread."

gis is probably something you some capitalize from now on...

My son is cook on a destroyer so I am getting a kick out of this.

/ya rly.

I heard American chefs will raise rabbits just for the competition, and then will cook them for Russian sailors.

Assuming that KGB plants do not fark things up first.

navies huh?

When I was in Iraq, the cooks (civilian third-country nationals from places like Sri Lanka, hired by KBR) sometimes would offer special sandwiches (besides cheeseburgers) as an option on the Short Order line. We did have Reubens and Monte Cristos every once in awhile.

There was probably close to 6000 soldiers at our FOB at the time.

Sgt Otter

Monte Cristos are the bomb, those would definitely raise my morale

That's all find and dandy, but will this start a new Cold-Cuts War?

Klippoklondike: Sgt Otter

Normally, I'd agree, but they were soaked in this fake butter stuff before being plopped on the grill, and since the cooks would try to rush the line through, they were usually undercooked and pretty soggy.

Given that a hamburger is a sandwich, the US should win this hands down -- if the Navy is smart enough to submit a traditional American charcoal-grilled hamburger as an entry anyway.

I never ate as well as I did when I was in the Navy...seriously.

Submariners have the best food, but, well, they also have to spend a lot of time underwater. I'll take a nice (topside) officers' mess anytime, thank you.

America's best vs. the guys who drool over a salad shuboy? ("herring in a fur coat") It's a "salad" made primarily with herring, mayo, beets, potatoes, eggs, and sour cream....

No contest.


/Russian GF made it for me once. Once.

They don't have burgers in the Navy . . . they have sliders.

/TMTK

Apparently, "The More You Know" is NOT abbreviated with two Ts. :(

I think a char-grilled double cheeseburger made of Angus beef and Wisconsin sharp cheddar with sauteed onions, iceberg lettuce, homemade dill pickles, a slice of fresh tomato and five, count 'em, five strips of thick-cut farm-fresh bacon might win the day.

...Okay, it's lunchtime.

They don't have burgers in the Navy . . . they have sliders.

What? i dont remember anyone calling them sliders. maybe its just different from ship to ship, or some obscure reference i didnt catch...

BravadoGT

Salat shuboy is awesome - the pic you posted was nasty though. My mother-in-law makes a good one. I actually have fallen in love with Russian food - and was surprised to learn that it's much more interesting than just potatoes!

Have you tried:

-Okroshka
-Salat olivier
-pelmeni
-kulibyaki
-kholodets
-sharlotka
-shchi
-shashliki
-kvass
-pieroshki

?

(OM NOM NOM)

You should - don't count it out just because you had some bad herring!
