I thought the bland, mushy meatloaf and equally bland, mushy beans they were fond of serving was cruel and unusual punishment as far as food went. But the coleslaw... it was enough to give a man nightmares. I cannot decide what's worse - something drowning in vinegar, or in mayonnaise; the smell alone made me nauseous. [Another tomato.] It was so much easier just to go hungry.
