Meals

Interview with Joe and Matt

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Joe: 3 unless you had canteen
Matt: we only got three meals per day

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Joe: Very poor quality. It had no taste. Everything was bland and mushy. There was no seasoning on it and it was often cold when you got it. If I had money for canteen, I would prefer to eat that then go to eat the food that was prepared. The only thing that I enjoyed at the chow hall was milk. At least I could get plenty of that.
Matt: all and all the food was not bad but was kind of bland and very seldom had salt or pepper and most of the time all the would serve was potatoes but the chicken was the bomb needed more meat and there breakfast sucked no eggs mostly oatmeal no cereal

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Joe: most of the time breakfast was the best because there was cold cereal. Dinner was the worst meal of the day. There was rarely any good food for dinner.
Matt: did not eat breakfast and dinner was the best meal of the day the chicken was the bomb but not very filling

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Joe: One night a week they provided popcorn and a movie. Some church services also provided snacks. Otherwise commissary was the only source of food outside of the meals provided. Commissary was fairly reasonable. Some things were cheap and others were a little more expensive.
Matt: there was commissary but was very expensive when you only make three dollars a week so really cant buy a whole lot mostly was hungry because the food would not stick with you for very long
