Teresa: Tell us about your meal and why you chose it.

The Boys: Makaroni Po Flotski, also known as Macaroni Navy Style. It's cost effective, filling, and full of color. This is a meal we would make for each other in big batches while living together. It is said that men in the Navy would prepare this dish quite often, hence the name. Out at sea, there weren’t many options or variety in the available ingredients, so they used what what they had, canned meat and pasta.
