While I was stationed in Germany, the nearest town invited our Armored brigade to a havest fest. Because our Artillery battery transfered together from Texas, our cooks made a Texas styled BBQ and chili feed. The local Germans LOVED our chili the first day. However, the next day, they mentioned something must be wrong with the chili because of the terrible gas problem they had overnight. I think it was the wives who were complaining than the husbands. When the husbands complained, it was because they were made to sleep in the livingroom. Even then, when the wives came out in the morning, they complained about the smell. Most of the husbands came back for more chili. The ribs didn't seem to go over as well as the chili for some unknown reason.
