We never had any of that sort of meat when I was serving, did you pay "Extra Messing", gingerjim?

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.

They are quite harmless really...So here you are...Shelldrake will go all weepy when he sees this

Crivvens, Jings, Help ma Boab and Michty me! I always fancied Maggie but would have settled for Daphne!

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

John Boy It is nice to have contact with a ACC member, I have been trying for along time to find out how the ACC made the nice thick Chocolate Drink we had in the very cold weather when we were out on winter exercises, can you please give me the recipe ??

Tom Withers Field Kitchen Cook BAOR15 Royal Signals

Nice hot choco drink
Take one pint mug (we all have one "world biggest mug ".. "I love GRANDAD" )you know the one ... now Put on the hob 3 quarters pint of milk (in a pan of course)slowly bring to the boil take it of just as it starts to rise .... now take 3 large table spoons of hot choc powder put into mug ( sugar to taste)pour in a little COLD milk about two egg cups 1 egg cup of whiskey or brandy or a nice liqueur of your choice ... now get a bag of chocolate buttons and melt in a bowl over a pan of SIMMERING water when melted add a small amount of the hot milk and mix together add all the ingredients together (not the milk ) yet.. now mix until you have a smooth velvety paste once achieved add the hot milk .... then this is the best put hot choc in to a flask tighten lid and then shake pour out into the mug or just give it a good stir DRINK AND ENJOY (suitable for dietary needs )

Or stick a Hot Chocolate pod in the machine,Top with marshmallow and smashed up cadburys flake.Just as good if not better and done in seconds.Add spirits to taste.

How come the Sloppos are working to a menu all of a sudden?

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

The cheap stuff. JPW, The cheap stuff..The first cold night has been and gone up here..

Might try the coco later but for now ,the single malt will do just nicely

could try this ha ha can anyone tell me where they get this crap from surely it can't be from bonny Scotland

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

It`s made by White and McKay, sells at £10.32 a bottle and tasts like Johnboy`s washing up water.
