Actually having "served" some 6 months @ that particular locale during the Bosnian upset I can concur that your diet "on the whole" can be quite limited, in our case the field kitchens (sorry chef forgot the proper title) for our 1 full meal per shift at the airfield was a welcome relief.
Despite taking a month or so to gain the acquired "taste" for the local Adriatic sea foods [starting at half raw and work backwards] there's only so many ways you can eat/look at cephalopods/molluscs before the novelty wears off.
After some months we found a kind of restaurant, up on the Puglian escarpment, that actually had PORK CHOPS on the menu.
Unfortunately some idiot blabbed about it and next down period we arrived back there only to find the majority of RAF GdeC's minibus fleet parked up outside, and a sudden lack of the usual feral dogs for some reason ho hum ..
