Nothing wrong with the food we had a 1 Corps, and nothing wrong with the food I serrved up when running the 'Field Kitchens', Sgt Brown always got us some potatoes, instead of the powdered 'POM', and as a Signalman, I did not have to order people to peel the spuds, they all volenterred, and I had no complints, as least not to my face.

shelldrake, the only messing was from the catapillars and maggots , the cook sgt always joked about extra meat rations and protein, but all in all our cooks really were bloody atrocious , i am not kidding . the only decent meals i had while in the army were on the military train from the hook into germany . the best was when we were on a convoy and running out of hours , we managed to get putb up for the night in RAF EINDHOVEN . that was like a first class hotel , the food was sheer heaven , ginger

Can't wait for the first cold night to try out these new recipes. Which is best whisky or brandy but agree with Brum this might be a waste of a good single malt or vintage brandy. I assume the gut rot variety is best

Knowing Tesco it is probably bottled in Peckham! A nice Glenmorangie or a Dalmore 62 should do the trick but without the Hot Chocolate. Laughing
