So I offer this, my thoroughly researched piece:
Ben's Top 10 Great Food-Related Military Leaders
10) Cap'n Crunch
9) Colonel Sanders
8) Orville Redenbacher (was a famous WWI American flying ace)
7) General Tso
6) Chef Emeril Lagasse (Marine infantry platoon leader during the battle of Hue City Vietnam, 1968. Seriously!)
5)Colonel Mustard
4)General Custard
Okay, I could only think of seven. And I had to make up the stuff about Emeril to even get that many. Nonetheless, I think it's a good start and Bawb assures me that I'm a "very special" little brother.
Will you be my friend?

General Eggs Benedict Arnold?
Julius Caesar Salad?
General Tommy Franks & Beans?
General George Arthur French Toast?
And my favorite, not quite food related, but another British general who apparently drank too much every night and woke up with a (Brigadier David) Aikenhead.
I wish I had come up with all of those.
Sgt Pepper (became a Dr. after leaving the service)
Oh, that one was clever. I like that.
Where else on the internet can you get such high-grade entertainment folks? Ben and Bawb's Blog is doing its part to fill the void in the shamefully under-served Orville Redenbacher/Eddie Rickenbacker joke market.
Sgt. Pepper was a good one too.
What about Captain Morgan?
And I heard that Jim Beam and Jack Daniels were in the Kentucky militia but that Johnny Walker was kicked out because he failed the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy.
Is this a theme? I need a refill...
And Captain Kangaroo was in the Marines. He used his real name but he wasn't a real captain.
Dr. Pepper entry was good, but I wouldn't use it for a mixer. That reminds me, where's my refill?
Ha ha ha! I think we're all gonna need a drink.
Oh my Aikenhead!
