Well shit if we're shooting for who's eaten the oldest , in 1972 I
ate a steak that was frozen for our troops in 1944 . It came from the
officer's mess freezer aboard the USS Eversole while cruising off the

electrician when not on mess cook duty) , making all the bread and other
baked goodies for a crew of around 300 . Probably where I got my love of
