H/T Bashman:

MONTPELIER, Vt.—Savory it isn't: It's made of whole wheat bread, non-dairy cheese, raw carrots, spinach, seedless raisins, beans, vegetable oil, tomato paste, powdered milk and dehydrated potato flakes.

To prison officials, it's a complete meal. To inmates, it's a food so awful, they'd rather go hungry than eat it.

Recall Monty Python:

--Well there's rat cake ... rat sorbet... rat pudding... or strawberry tart. --Strawberry tart?!
--Well it's got some rat in it.
--How much?
--Three, rather a lot really.
--Well, I'll have a slice without so much rat in it.
