Anyone fancy 3 year old pizza?

Uh huh, yeah, sure. That guy must be a long ways from Chicago or NYC. 🙂
Speaking of which... almost 6:30am, time to head to the pizza shop to make dough for today - about 275 large pizzas worth of dough.
 
Not as gross as it sounds. Certain grain products can last many years, as can properly prepared meats. The cheese seems a bit strange, but absent air, a bacteria-free food sealed well can at the least be safe to eat forever.

I don't have a 60qt Hobart mixer in my house...but I've daydreamed about it. :biggrin:

I know you own a farm, do you also own a pizza joint?
 
As someone how has eaten MREs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, this will easily be one of the better tasting ones. It will probably still be behind chili mac and leagues above omelette.

It's not safe. Says "Do not eat" right there in the pic. 😛

I know a guy who got some prepackaged meals from Japan and thought the silica pack was seasoning cause it just had Japanese writing on it. He said it tasted funny but ate it anyway. when someone saw the opened silca pack they told him what he ate and he commenced the , "AM I GONNA DIE...???"

I think it's an 80 quart Hobart mixer. 🙂 And, it got its workout. Enough dough mixed and turned into the equivalent of 277 large 16" pizzas. Plus about 275 pounds of mozzarella shredded. Well, not a workout for the mixer, but *I* got a workout. No, I don't own the pizza shop - had the opportunity at one time to be a partner, but didn't want to spend my life doing that. Of course, in hindsight, I didn't see a Pizza Hut and a Little Caesar's location going out of business (because they suck & couldn't compete), and another popular shop also going under after the owner retired and sold the business to an idiot. (Only an idiot buys a successful restaurant with a large clientele, closes it for several months to remodel it, and changes the name.) Meanwhile, our volume goes up and up and up.

But anyway, I have two scales - a food scale and a pizza scale. The MRE pizza is probably a 1 to 2 on the 1 to 10 pizza scale. But that might still be at least a 4 on the food scale.

MREs aren't great, but when you are in a situation where you'd eat them, it is a godsend to get something that has a small bit of taste (chili mac and I imagine this pizza).
 
Another example that if you're looking for the military to protect its forces from chemical exposure, look elsewhere.

You really have no idea. The military spends huge amounts of money developing healthy, nutritious, shelf stable foods. No chemicals are added that don't already haves years and years of testing in the consumer market. It's one of the few research functions the military does right.

You're suggesting developing 3-year old pizza puts nutrition first for the forces and not economics first? I believe that as much as I believe twinkies are part of a balanced nutritious meal.

Why can't they go hand in hand? MRE's are specifically designed to give you all the necessary nutrients a soldier needs, unless you're implying the US WANTS to give their soldiers scurvy or something.

Also twinkies can be part of a balanced meal just fine. Key word BALANCED.

Also why are you so up about the pizza lasting 3 years? Does it bother you that canned fruits also have shelf lives in decades?

It's all about meeting a specific requirement for providing nutritious food that doesn't require special handling to sustain warfighters in situations where preparing regular food is not possible or feasible. The military does NOTHING for purely economic reasons unless forced to. The research on food has been a significant portion of the military budget since WW I. So yes, developing a pizza mre that holds it's nutritional value for three years was not done for economic reasons.
