Worst thing was the meat at boot camp. It was dated form the 70's and 80's and smelled like rotting corpse. I had to chop it in the kitchen and the flies wold dive bomb us to get to the meat.
At my post, the kitchen was GOURMET. All fresh organic produce, cheese, oils and meats right there from Lesvos. Dessert at night with a beer on saturday, food was the best part of the day! I didn't think I'd miss Army food till I got to the USA!!!
Worst food... McDonalds

Uhhh... Boot Camp food sucked. The meat had a very strange, very dark-brown colour (almost black). I was too scared to eat it at first.
When I was sent to my operational unit, though, the food was good and there was a lot of it. Lesvos yoghurt, freshly baked bread, feta cheese - even the meat looked and tasted like meat. No complaints there.

Actually the worst food I DIDN'T eat but helped prepare was at boot camp. Thankfully I was sent to do cooking service on one of my first days there. So throughout the rest of my 50 days there I knew what to eat and what not to.
Anyway, that day early in the morning the Chickens arrived. A truck load of chickens arrived and parked behind the mess hall where the loading ramps where. The frozen chickens were exposed to the elements in the open dump truck.
The truck driver simply lifted the truck's dump body and the frozen chickens simply fell rolling all over the place. Many fell off the ramp down in the mud. The truck left. I was staring in awe and amazement.
Another soldier showed me "how we do things here". At about 15 meters away were the kitchen ovens, about 20 of them in line. We opened the over doors then went back to where the chickens lay.
Then the penalty shoot-out began. We scored many chicken-goals that day. Others came and we had a mini-championship. It's amazing what a frozen chicken can do to a kicking foot BTW.
I never ate when we had Chicken Ronaldo at boot camp.

They put so many conservatives and other chemicals into the field rations that they taste like ****.... i hated this typical metallic, chemical taste which all the rations had (no matter which type).... if possible would always rather take some fresh food with me for the day, even if it was just some sausages and bred.
I hear the Americans have a better system where you put water on the ration, or break it or something and it gets warm so you dont need to heat it, and apparently it also doesnt have the chemical taste anymore.

A huge piece of Wasabi when I was 14. My parents didn't tell me that it was spicy and I thought it was so kind of japanese fish mousse! I had the impression I would get a stroke and that my eyes would pop out of my head!

The worst food I have ever seen is in the Greek army. The "meat" is horrible. I understand we were only conscripts, but the food in the Greek army isn't fit for a third world army, let alone a NATO member.

Wasabi!! That stuff is pretty spicey-up your nose kind of spicey, not like curry.
I once was out for dinner with some Japanese friends. One of them was a continual cut-up, so we decided to do some payback. He ordered Green tea ice cream for desert-it was the EXACT color of Wasabi! He went to the bathroom just before the icecream came, so we asked the server to quickly bring us some Wasabi! We painted it all over his ice cream and he came back without knowing what happened.
We lulled him into a relaxed mode with discussion and watched him spoon up a big dollop of the green tea ice cream! The look on his face was PRICELESS!!!

The first three days of Boot Camp. Fresh recruits like me were assigned to orientation units during the first week before heading off to our actual training regiments. Badly overcooked rice in a big sticky heap, kimchi gone sour, and a nameless miso/hot pepper soup with a serious identity crisis. I didn't want to go anywhere near the stuff, but the DIs would chew you up for dumping food, so into my stomach it goes down to the very last grain
