<p>I saw a similar question on the Naval Academy forum and just wanted to find out what AFA cadets think about the food.</p>
<p>Good, decent, or bad?</p>
<p>It’s ok, depends on the day. Far better than USNA though.</p>
<p>thats a relief to know.</p>
<p>Food wasn’t too bad for us summer seminar kids. Although, I have a feeling it wasn’t what they always serve.</p>
<p>i disagree with hornet.</p>
<p>i’d say decent overall. breakfast is bad, but we also have some great meals. as far as sompared to USNA, i’d say its about the same. they have some great meals (spicy chicken sandwiches) and some not so great ones. the main thing is they are on a more rigorous cycle, so it gets old knowing every tuesday at lunch is burgers etc etc</p>
<p>he says breakfast is bad, but you can always get fruit or cereal (and i do!)</p>
<p>Ahhh…the haute cuisine of Chez Mitchs…</p>
<p>How I’ve missed: </p>
<p>a. Mung
b. Hockey pucks
c. Tots…they swore they started out as potato
d. Stuffed bell peppers…wait, they did away with those after the food-fight that made national headlines
e. SOS
f. The fake butter on paper pats that stuck so wonderfully well to the bottom of the space shuttle that hung in the center of Mitch’s…who needed tiles for the protective coating? OURS had butter pats!
g. Jock ramps where the food was okay but the BIG box meal you got as your “desert” was truly filled with delicacies!!!</p>
<p>Yep…I could go on and on…</p>
<p>We ate hamsters at lunch our first Parent’s Weekend. Never had a hamster before…</p>
<p>flieger…??? I’m curious what this stuff actually was…</p>
<p>So was he…;)</p>
<p>Hahaha!! b Im assuming is burgers</p>
<p>haha yeah, that was about the only one I could guess</p>
<p>a. Mung (A strawberry desert…sorta liquidy, sorta reddish with darker reddish spreckles in it…actually pretty tasty)
b. Hockey pucks (some type of beef or soy product, burned to a near-cinderlike state and served with buns, pickles, and ketchup)
c. Tots…they swore they started out as potato (as in tater…still not convinced)
d. Stuffed bell peppers…wait, they did away with those after the food-fight that made national headlines (as described; packed full of a combination of rice, hamburger, and other mystery ingredients; made a great grenade)
e. SOS (are you kidding me?!)
f. The fake butter on paper pats that stuck so wonderfully well to the bottom of the space shuttle that hung in the center of Mitch’s…who needed tiles for the protective coating? OURS had butter pats!
g. Jock ramps where the food was okay but the BIG box meal you got as your “desert” was truly filled with delicacies!!!</p>
<p>I have no clue what SOS is. On another note however, it seems that the food isnt great. As long as its not going to be the worst ive ever had i’ll be fine with it.</p>
<p>SOS… <em>Something</em> on a shingle right? ;)</p>
<p>Mitch’s food is edible, so it won’t kill you, but beyond that… 
But keep in mind you don’t have a lot of choices for food when you have to feed a wing of 4000+ cadets at the same time, 90% of whom are guys, and have a few hours to mass-make the food. Still, it’s gotten a little better now that there’s more money allotted for food (better chicken strips, for instance, which I never understood why people loved those anyway).</p>
<p>umm, I believe that number is closer to 80%, not 90.</p>
<p>
Nooooooooooo! The old chicken strips were way better!</p>
<p>food has gotten miles better since my freshman year. yes, cadets complain about it, but other than blue weekends i don’t think there’s anything we don’t complain about.</p>
<p>echoing what giraffe said, considering they feed about 4400 ppl in 10 minutes, it’s quite good. they even treated us to some really good steak and shrimp last week!</p>
<p>Granted, the reason we had steak was that there were about 20 general officers in town. That’s not the usual fare.</p>
<p>If I had to describe the food at Mitch’s succinctly, I would say it’s “good enough.”</p>
