Food on The Kearsarge

I go down to the galley (the ships cafeteria) expecting to have a half decent meal since we had a huge Kearsarge birthday bash for dinner, I mean it was midrats(its like 4th meal on the boat) so i didn't expect too much but i get down there and its meatballs and weird looking noodles with lemons and raisins and nuts in it. Obviously i get meatballs cause they looked decent. I sit down to eat and I look down at my wonderful plate of meatballs and notice this "sweet and sour" sauce the meatballs was in is made up of grapes, pineapples, and some other random fruits. The point of all of this is that I pay 303 bucks a month for the food they serve us. I don't understand where they get the 303 dollars a month total from because back home I can spend 210 dollars at the Commissary and get way better food for my wife, myself and still have enough to serve people through out the week. The food selection is terrible they always try to make these nice, fancy dinners and one thing they do I don't understand which is their use of bay leaves first of all bay leaves are suppose to be season for meat and chopped up but no the mighty Mountain Top Cafe(the name of Kearsarge's galley) has them full leaf and in rice and other various sides. All I'm saying is we need better food choices.
