112510 Thanksgiving Day Menu

 

Today is Thanksgiving Day in Iraq.  The Army and Air Force really do a great job for those on base to make sure there is a really nice meal about once a month.  As you can see from the menu, Thanksgiving today is no exception.  I've been told by the DFAC staff that all meat served in Iraq (on US bases here) comes from the US but fruits and vegetables come from Jordan.  Any pies or milk products will come from Kuwait.  The cooking staff has to also be careful not to cook any pork or shellfish on the same surfaces as other meats in order to maintain 'halal' (Muslim food restrictions.)  And yes, today is still a work day
