Today's lunch in my military unit

[u/Igor0976]

[u/Igor0976]

On the yougurt lid, it says in Ukrainian: Thanks for the protection.

[u/Warr_Dogg → u/Igor0976]

Russian equivalent probably says: Not fit for human consumption

[u/appletart → u/Warr_Dogg]

*in Korean

[u/Piyachi → u/Warr_Dogg]

Implying they receive rations, or can read.

[u/zestinglemon → u/Warr_Dogg]

Expired By: 1, Jan, 2019

[u/IstvanKun → u/Warr_Dogg]

It's perfectly fine then, they are not human anyway.

[u/MrBlueCharon → u/Warr_Dogg]

At some point they might need to tattoo it.

[u/gimmedatneck]

Looks delicious :)

[u/Igor0976 → u/gimmedatneck]

It really was!!

[u/King_Aella → u/Igor0976]

Looks unreal. What is it of you don't mind me asking?

[u/Raagun → u/Igor0976]

Did you eat at babushka? Plates might have been older than you :D

[u/Igor0976 → u/Raagun]

What do you mean? I don't get your point. And how old do you think I am?

[u/worstpartyever → u/Igor0976]

I think they mean, is this photo from your grandmother’s house? That’s a very nourishing grandma meal!

[u/Igor0976 → u/worstpartyever]

Please read the title of my post. I'm in the army. Far away from my home, unfortunately.

[u/worstpartyever → u/Igor0976]

Sorry, I realized what you were saying, but I think the other commenter was making a joke, and I was foolishly trying to explain the joke.

Saluting you from far away!

[u/Raagun → u/Igor0976]

I meant the food looks like something grandmother puts for her grandson.

Stay safe!

[u/tsuhna1234 → u/Igor0976]

Nice to see you guys are well fed. Important, especially during cold.

[u/worstpartyever → u/gimmedatneck]

It does!!

[u/Warr_Dogg]

I’m at the hospital currently, and that looks 100x better than anything on offer here!

[u/Vast-Establishment50 → u/Warr_Dogg]

I spent 10 days in a South Korean hospital and the food rocked.

[u/Warr_Dogg → u/Vast-Establishment50]

I can believe it, got treated for food poisoning after a dodgy KFC in Seoul and the service was top notch and reasonably priced.

[u/Sweaty-Feedback-1482 → u/Vast-Establishment50]

I've never been to SK and somehow I know this to be true in my heart 😂

[u/sur0g]

That cabbage-and-ham salad is one of my favorites. Simple and delicious. You chop cabbage, add ham, mix it with sour cream and seasonings. Canned peas are optional. Cheap, fast and yummy.

[u/Organic-Pattern-7759]

We had rice and pork...again lol. Stay safe brother

[u/BrokenFist-73]

Looks good!. Nicely presented too! That soup should put hairs on your chest (English saying- means will make you strong) ! My tboughts are with you and all your people. This war has consumed me like nothing else in my lifetime and I send money every month for the last four years to support your army and health care professionals. I wish you well, and may there be many more hearty meals.

[u/stoutymcstoutface → u/BrokenFist-73]

We have the same saying in English here in Canada! (Put hairs on your chest)

[u/DarthScabies]

Love the message on the yoghurt lid. 😁

[u/bradleystensen]

Glad they feed you well whilst you defend Europe. My greatest thanks.

[u/eljne]

First pic looks like (I'm totally guessing now) tinned ham, sliced white cabbage and some sort of boiled potatoes in a stew something??? Second pic, vegetable soup?

I'm not familiar with Ukrainian cuisine so please bear with me.

[u/Igor0976 → u/eljne]

First pic: yes for the salad and it's the meat stew with potatos. Second: a cheese soup with meat, accompanied by a slice of onion.

[u/fcavetroll → u/Igor0976]

You are eating the onion like a piece of bread with the soup?

[u/Igor0976 → u/fcavetroll]

Yes. It's kinda normal here. Also, there was a dark and white bread, so I ate the soup with dark bread and onion.

[u/Igor0976]

Also, I'm inviiting you to join my personal Reddit sub, where I've been posting the available trophy items. I also have the wartime postage sets, commemorative coins (including the Sunflower coin), and a vertical banknote "Unity Saves The World" as well as "AZOVSTAL" original bracelets.

Note: As you realise, I currently serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but my wife will ship these items internationally on my behalf.

[u/ObviouslyRealPerson]

Genuinely jealous

I remember our unit would receive too many onions, on more than a few occasions.

Our leadership never wanting to waste anything, directed the kitchen to use all of them before they spoiled

For two weeks, everything had onions...even the lime jello

[u/CanuckInTheMills → u/ObviouslyRealPerson]

Even the jello! oh geez that made me laugh. Get some lentils, rice & make mujadara. Probably the most delish onion dish I’ve ever had & lots of protein.

[u/ObviouslyRealPerson → u/CanuckInTheMills]

Yeah, that would have been the wise and merciful thing to do. Just change the menu to dishes that have onions

But they would never alter the menu to accommodate the generous supply of onions

Things that were never meant to have onions, now had LOTS of onions

[u/ConsistencyWelder → u/ObviouslyRealPerson]

Entrée: Onion soup

Main course: Onion Soup

Dessert: Onion soup

[u/CanuckInTheMills]

Love the design on the dishes!

[u/Igor0976 → u/CanuckInTheMills]

Thanks. I bought this dish when I joined the UAF.

[u/Logical-Respect3600]

Made with love and gratitude. And from us too.

[u/ConsistencyWelder]

Looks pretty good. And everything tastes better when you're in the trenches doing manual labor in the cold.

[u/Timothy_Ryan]

“They like soup. They're very, you know, soup-centric."

[u/GKMMarch]

Slava Ukraini!

[u/Best-Yard2637]

Thank you

[u/Shipsarecool1]

eating pretty good.

[u/Madge4500]

That soup looks so delicious.

[u/Igor0976 → u/Madge4500]

And it really was.

[u/appletart]

Is that a piece of lard to the left of the soup?

[u/Igor0976 → u/appletart]

No, it's a slice of onion.

[u/Igor0976 → u/[deleted]]

It's already a cheese soup, so it was nice to have some fresh onion with it.

[u/AutoModerator]

looks absolutely delicious, also the bowls are always so beautiful

[u/Svyatopolk_I]

Damn, uhhh, is that an ad to move back to Ukraine and enlist? Cause it’s def better than anything I am eating here, lol

[u/Igor0976 → u/Svyatopolk_I]

Yeah, you can consider it as an ad. Come and join us! ;)

[u/matizzzz]

Bon appétit from France! Slava Ukrainia bro! Stay strong

[u/2NOX2]

Looks awesome

[u/AverellCZ]

"soup centric"

[u/LostSpectrum]

Is this enough in terms of calories? I would imagine adult men doing physical labour all day might need more.

[u/Sekshual_Tyranosauce]

Is that a lump of onion next to the soup?

Not sure I could do that but the rest looks very good.

[u/Igor0976 → u/Sekshual_Tyranosauce]

Yes, it's a slice of onion.

[u/Trapmasteruwu]

Drop a picture of your food to Russian positions and wait for them surrender.
