Complete meal cooking with a hotel coffee-maker

Kind of reminds me about some of the things that I used to use my electric water heater (not an electric kettle; it was more cylindrical, with a larger top) to make in my dorm. Ramen was fine; chili, not so much.

One thing that kind of bugs me, though, is how it’s implied that the military is still serving soldiers shit on a shingle or something. With all the advances in food preservation, can’t they give them better meals? (And, for that matter, where would they get fresh salmon and broccoli from?)
