OT: Gitmo's 'gourmet fare'

"Freed prisoners are said to have put on an average of nearly 14 pounds
during captivity. "

"Food for the detainees, including two hot meals per day, is prepared
in the kitchens used for U.S. troops at the naval base. Pork and
shellfish are off the menu for religious reasons. Popular dishes
include curried eggs, tandoori-baked chicken and lyonnaise rice. A
breakfast typically includes dates and honey. "

As I had mentioned in another post, there is probably also a bean/rice bar
for those that don't eat ANY meat, coffee, soda and milk.
