On certain recipes, espcially in olive oil based ones, we do use lots of olive oil... So in this case it's a regular water glass, approximetly 7fl oz...

I didn't catch the "dovme"... Which recipe has it? I mean it has many translations meaning from "tattoo" to "beated."

In Navy they do serve high carb food, most of the list can be seen in a daily meals. However, the officers eat in regular plates with better presentation versus regulars eat from metal trays served from big pots and pans

Of course, most of our ships and subs stay in shoreline routes, so they can restock almost every 3 days, from different bases... The food can get somewhat less "attractive" by the end of the longer NATO games, as far as what I heard...
