Canadian Navy vet here. I agree. The food was awesome, with the exception of field rations of course. I remember American servicemen in the chow line at CFB Esquimalt raving about the food. When on base I looked forward to my weekly steak dinner.
Canadian forces have historically taken on the toughest assignments, which resulted in the heaviest casualties. Much respect from one of your southern neighbors.
And the US military nonetheless suffered many casualities, and took the toughest assignments today as well as in the past. Much respect from one of your northern neighbours.
I am a cook in the royal canadian navy and its one of the best experience in life. Morale is certainly important as she said and im super happy to do it everyday !
Can I ask a question? Is there a budget and where does the food come from if you are out at sea? Is it stockpiled before leaving the port? What are the hours like? I completed my cfat and I can be a cook or I was also thinking about FSA. I have spent my career working in restaurants as a chef and cook.
Was in US Army back in the 80`s . Trained with Canadian troops in Chillawack the messhall and food was great . Was told the food there was not as good as other bases but was better than any i ever saw in US .
Spent Time on Check ✔️ Chilliwack Base scrubbing down Cloth Chairs in Officers Lounge......What's you name and Rank Soldier on Your Feet..!!!.the Officer blurted out at me ....I got on my Feet ....My Name is P.T. I am a Civilian and I work for A .C.Cleaning Services....Carry on he says ...Wear your Badge next time!
I served 35 years in the RCAF, 1981-2016. Anywhere mess hall that I ate at served excellent food. CFB Cornwallis: Mar. - May 1981, CFB Borden: May 1981 - Nov 1981, CFB Bagotville: Nov. 1981 - July 1987, CFB Lahr: Aug. 1987 - May 1988, CFB Baden-Söllingen: Aug. 1989, And anywhere else that I was deployed or on exercise at. Note: Missing timeframes, I lived outside the bases. Kudos to all the cooks in the CAF that keep the men/women going.
20 years in the RCN as an Etech and I can say that there isn't a harder working group of people in the Navy than cooks. You can't be a bad cook and go to sea, it just doesn't happen. Thank you guys for your service it was top notch.
While in the US Air Force, I deployed to Cold Lake AB Alberta for a big air exercise that's held there every couple of year called Maple Flag. But to us in the Air Force that were lucky enough to participate, it was referred to as Food Flag. Their chow halls were awesome.
So... I'm a US Army veteran. I'm also a Civil War reenactor [see pic]. And I spent much of my life in kitchens after the Army. Because of that, I was also my Civil War unit's company cook for a couple years. Cooking is one of the toughest jobs in ANY army. A good cook can boost a unit's morale like nothing you've ever seen. A bad one can make an entire unit sick as a dog. But no matter how well they do, they get almost ZERO respect. Some things that a lot of folks don't understand about military cooking: - Being in the military is generally physically demanding and tiring job. 12 hour days are EVERY day, from PT to Retreat and usually after. Cooks get up before everyone in order to have breakfast ready on time and oftentimes go to bed late in order to have the kitchen cleaned enough for tomorrow's work. - Troops [generic term for all services] gripe about the quality of the food constantly, and God help you if the mess is out of their favorite condiment. You know why that is? In the first case the cooks are preparing from a military cookbook that is specifically designed to be average. Instead of trying to appeal to tastes from all over the place, they make whatever recipe an average of what the country as a whole likes... think of it as 'Betty Crocker' cooking rather than regional specialty dishes. As for the condiments, troops are cheap assed bastards and every bottle they steal from the mess hall is another beer they can swill. Totally not kidding. - Troops are surly when given KP and bitchy when the cooks are trying to get them too clean the pots and pans so their own food won't make them sick. Honest to God, troops will sit and watch a fire go out and then bitch about the coffee being cold rather than getting up and putting another log on it.
I am so proud of all branches of our Canadian armed forces, I truly wish we had a government that would take care and support our troops. God bless all our service members across North America.
Yes, indeed, you can see the difference. Lots of fresh ingredients as opposed to dog food made out of canned ingredients (you know, like our friends from the US of A)
God bless military cooks. When in the military I was a cook. If a cook goes hu gru,something is wrong as here's always something to snack on. Also my mother was a cook in WWII with the CWAC.
We had our Regimental Ball catered by the Base and I have to say, the food was fantastic!! The presentation was 5-Star. We are still talking about how good everything was, 5 years later!
Wherever Emmy says anything about something, he means all the people utilising that service and it not based on any factors like color of your skin, nationality, religion, your belief system etc or any other factor.
I am Steward man Cook for only Officers, Maximum number of Officers in Destroyer ship 10-15. I love the cooking in Navy, the best Rating job in the Navy compared to Machine shops and pipe fitters.
She joined the Military for the adventure......and became a cook. 😂 I was an US Paratrooper and we trained with the Canadian Para's in Petawawa. I have to admit their chow hall was amazing. - -
@@gravemind3590 you know that even in the middle of WW2 only 2/3 of the military personnel deployed overseas were in front line combat roles. The rest were rear echelon.
Army cooks are top of my list. They work the hardest next to our medics and mechanics. Bottom line is we all need good food. An infantry soldier like me can bitch all they like, but better than not eating anything especially in combat. Eating MREs for a while will make you appreciate the cooks if you are still alive. When you are dead, then nothing will bother after. You won't get to have the Chili Mac after.
It’s funny in Phippines your budget for food its enough to buy a canned sardines and try to find something like water spinach or fern and other edible you can find in the jungle to mix with it. I’m thinking to be part of it.

I like how that military cook had a safety guard around the mixing bowl lol, civilian cooks don't use that shit, y'all dodge bullets and bombs and shit, but don't dare mix anything without a guard because that's unsafe lol
I was a US Marine who trained with the Canadians in NC and the food their cooks made was excellent 👍

Props to our Canadian next door neighbors! Practically family!(many are!) Much love Canada, from Los Angeles USA.
🇺🇸🤝🇨🇦 🫶☝️💪
Now I'm happy knowing that my 2 boys (eldest in the army and the youngest in the airforce) are well taken cared of.
Not gonna lie, when I was in I always looked forward to meals at the mess. Without a doubt, one of the most important jobs in the forces.
I totally agree , never had a bad meal in the mess
Canadian's seem the NICEST people in the world. Respect from England 🏴🤗👍

Bravo... Culinary Chef's. Robb
Canadas military food is world famous for
Taste and quality.
Yes, indeed, you can see the difference. Lots of fresh ingredients as opposed to dog food made out of canned ingredients (you know, like our friends from the US of A)
An underrecognized trade, for sure. They do amazing work! Thanks very much!
I honestly cherish those moments where I can sit with my kit and eat a hot meal
God bless military cooks. When in the military I was a cook.
If a cook goes hu gru,something is wrong as here's always something to snack on.
Also my mother was a cook in WWII with the CWAC.
I love watching people cooking . Don't know why but I love the entire process and all that goes into it :)
We had our Regimental Ball catered by the Base and I have to say, the food was fantastic!! The presentation was 5-Star. We are still talking about how good everything was, 5 years later!
I've been in the field with most of the cooks that we see in the video and they're doing an amazing job .
In Germany we surved along side the Canadian Armor. The guys were great and the shared their food with us.
Wherever Emmy says anything about something, he means all the people utilising that service and it not based on any factors like color of your skin, nationality, religion, your belief system etc or any other factor.
She’s right especially about that last line. You can taste of love has been put in that food verses the bare minimum effort to get the job done
Food in the field is indeed better than mess food. Great variety of tasty and comforting meals to boost your morale up and get you through long days.
We are blessed to be Canadians.
I am Steward man Cook for only

Ya because they never do anything en masse combat wise. Perks of being a passive military. Id rather eat than fight so I can't blame them.
@@gravemind3590 you know that even in the middle of WW2 only 2/3 of the military personnel deployed overseas were in front line combat roles. The rest were rear echelon.
Civilian: Did you ever kill someone in you`re military service?
Veteran: Well i was a cook... so yeah probably!
Best Salisbury steak I ever ate was at a CF base near Vancouver BC. Excellent meal and good company.
Cook is the most respected position in the military.
I imagine only military activities, gun battles, and fighters, but it's ready without food and medical care.
Good to see the many course meals and serving from buffet up to star or 1st class special persons. Cooking for two is what i do now.
There's no bigger moral bust than a well made meal.
Emmy sees only the people using the service and not any other factors.

Good food is good for good moral.
Nothing beats a hot cooked meal after spending time in the field eating nothing but IMPs.
Shit they eat better than I do and so they should. They work a lot harder lol
Army runs on it’s stomach. Fuck yeah
That is VIP 5-star cooking!
The military meals are huge and surprising.
Just thinking about all the times we got boiled eggs and beans in the field for breakfast…
Can I become an army cook without training? I'm 1.53 so honestly it looks too complicated, but I'm very interested in it
Everything I said as regards the US army is applicable to all armies of the World as well as to all people of the World.
