Recall what happens when Forrest is put in charge of the kitchen.

Although Forrest has never cooked, he is put in charge of the kitchen. He mixes every ingredient he can find in a steam boiler, but has to turn it up too high and it explodes. Forrest has to run fast to escape Sergeant Kranz and the company commander, as 100 men sit covered in "Gump Boiler Stew."
