FIC: "Different Tastes", Radar O'Reilly
Title: Different Tastes
Fandom: M*A*S*H
Character: Radar O'Reilly
Prompt: 059. Food
Word Count: 154
Rating: Everyone
It’s really incredible, how much people throw out. Back home, you eat what you take, and if there’s anything left, you use it for the pigs. Food is too precious to just get rid of because it doesn’t taste as good as some people want it to. If his ma saw that, she’d have a heart attack. Whole pieces of chicken, with just a little bite taken, tossed out? It’s a shame to waste it like that.
He knows why they do it, though. The food offered in the mess tent doesn’t satisfy their need to forget where they are, just be simple people again, free of the war and the blood. But because he doesn’t drink, he fills his tray and ignores Captain Pierce’s comments on how much food he’s taking. After all, Captains Pierce and McIntyre and all the others will go on over to the Officer’s Club just as soon as they can.
