Meals

Interview with Nancy and Bryce

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Nancy: 2 hot meals, 1 sack lunch.
Bryce: 3 meals per day. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Nancy: BAD!!milk received only w/breakfast on sun,tues&thurs.grits&blueberry"cake"served w/every breakfast.Lunch is bologna,turkey,or smoked ham on a hard roll w/mustard,a cookie&an orange EVERYDAY.dinner is left-over lunch-meat ground-up&added to pasta&sauce with no flavor,also has green-beans or carrots & cornbread everyday.meal drinks are some-type of unflavored tea w/out sugar(served either warm-or-cold).meal usually cold when received.
Bryce: The food wasn't too bad for the most part. Some was better than others. I would rate the meals a 5 only because they were very small and not filling. They would put chemical in the food and drink to make you more hungry and tired, so their were no fights, and to make sure you ate the meal. Salt Beater.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Nancy: favorite food = dinner entree w/hot-sauce purchased thru canteen. WORST = pancakes.food trays are always wet making your 2 pancakes soggy.
Bryce: Breakfast normally sucked, and was very small. Dinner was usually alright, and a little bit bigger portion. Burrito day was the best.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Nancy: No other snacks unless purchased thru canteen. Canteen charges $5.00 to make ANY purchases(even if its one thing or phone-time).Sauve shampoo&conditioner is $2.85/each(can buy@dollar-store on-the-outs for $1).Ramen-noodles are $0.80.can buy for $0.30 at grocery store.
Bryce: You could order commissary that would arrive on Wednesdays, it wasn't cheap, but no too expensive either. As well as every Friday a hot cart would come to each POD, and had a variety of items you could purchase right there, but had to eat all items purchased from the hot cart immediately.
