I haven't had the pleasure of experiencing military food except from the stuff here in New Zealand. I don't know if it's still the case, but the one or two times that I managed to glean some NZ Army ration packs, they had several items that need water and/or cooking to be eaten, for example, ramen. So not so convenient when you're on the move, and you then also need to pack a source of heat (hexi tabs or a gas cooker) as well. NZDF chefs are great though, the food they serve up on the navy bases is especially great. Good quality food, nutritious, and you can eat as much as you can fit on a plate, with seconds if you manage to hang around until the end of serving without a PO yelling at you to fuck off. Air Force food was terrible though, since they RNZAF doesn't have chefs any more, they use private caterers (I think from memory they use Compass Group, who make universally bad food).
