    We used to call the Army cooks "fitters and turners".

    Fit the food into a pot and turn it into s@!#

    The other Army favourite was; Who called the cook a c***, who called the C*** a cook!
    Another memorable meal was on the USS (forgotten), had a rump steak, it was alright but every steak was the same size, shape etc.

    Sounds like drilling companies and the armed forces get their cooks from the same source.

    Was sitting eating my lunch in an onshore oil rig galley one day when the Rig Supervisor got up from his table and complained to the cook that his steak was too tough and demanded that he do him another one.

    The cook promptly dragged out another steak....dumped it on the bench, placed a tea towel over the steak, jumped up on the bench and started jumping up and down on top of the steak in his Blumdstones. After about 10 minutes of this the cook calmly popped the steak onto the hotplate and then served it to the still stunned Rig Supervisor.

    Needless to say there were no more complaints from anyone about the food!

    Someone wise told me a long time ago:

    "Don't insult the cook, son - he can always **** in the soup!"

    Iain, you obviously never dined in the airmens mess, we didn't call the cooks "tucker f#####'s" for nothing, the only time you got a decent feed was when you were on late shift and had steak and eggs cooked on the spot. The sergeants mess was better.
    Cheers

    Wrong, I did for a couple of years at Rad School, Pt Cook and Frognell before OTS and 1AD.
