Who cut the cheese? The US Army in the 19th century seems to have subsisted on beans. Eric Maria Remarque remarks that soldiers are on intimate terms with their alimentary systems, suggesting Germany in WWI. The Old Fart Meister seems attached to the 7YW. I believe I passed more gas eating MREs then C rations. That gives us

We lived on beans and rice in El Salvador for about four months. In combination the two can give you all the complex amino acids to support life. We did eat the occasional Iguana if we shot one.

The British Army hasn't a 'odor' in this regard. |

The one commanded by the guy right behind me at the last tournament. That army was foul and about choked the whole room out. I think he won by default, everyone cleared out. |

The vikings considered basking shark a delicacy. You buried it under stones/sand to ripen until the liver exploded. It was then probably rather tangy, as I imagine the vapours it would later produce. |

Korean, they consume vast amounts of fermented cabbage – kimchi!! |

Whatever Armies that will fight in my basement on 30 December when I make the once a year mistake of serving Bean soup to 20 or so men who cannot and should not eat it (including epturner). Hang time is measured in days and weeks, not minutes or hours. Come to think of it maybe a menu replan should be in order. Love the Blazing Saddles and Monty Python references |

flooglestreet – sorry live outside of Philly. May I be the first to wish for everyone to find a great game to take them into the New Year, and whatever you do don't roll like epturner or I do (especially when we are together). Happy Holidays! |

Tonight I had kielbasa, sauerkraut, hash browns, broccoli and beer.
I will now be leaving my computer to paint the British, err, Americans, err Provincials for my upcoming Battle of Shrubbery Run, the decisive battle of Buick's Rebellion.
I will have the WWE Slammy Awards on as background noise, because the Monday Night Football™ game is guaranteed to suck. I think this enquiry is pretty well closed. BTW, not to worry. I have lit my pilot light. |

Korean, they consume vast amounts of fermented cabbage – kimchi!! Surprising there are about 40 or so types of Kimchi. I have made most of them. It really does not produce the type of gas one would expect. My wife is almost a total vegitarian and eats tons of Korean food and never gains a pound. She has been about 120 lbs since we married. I have never heard her fart or pass gas, can't be the diet. VR

vojvoda, I meant no insult, but when I lived on base the lady next door would do kimchi and the whole neighborhood smelled of it. Our neighbor when I was a kid made his own limburger, it took over….. |
| zippyfusenet | 13 Dec 2011 3:37 p.m. PST |
I thought the key element of Limburger cheese was the big barnyard dung heap under which the hardy Limburg farmers buried their cheese to ripen. Yeah, that would add to the atmosphere of yer typical American suburb. Draw flies, too. |

Yes, but I have not heard that their farts lent wings to their arrows – perhaps an Inherent Military Probability. |
