Basic Trench Cooking | - Corned Beef Stew #5

[@marcolias]

You need to share this with your mate

[@YorkshireTrench]

We will share :)

[@asiangaming8409]

and a bottle of HP sauce, just to pep it up a bit, improve the flavor, all the lads do it

[@DoctorDeath147]

He has to buy it. It's not an army ration

[@paulwolf7562]

I'd rather use a bottle of "Tabasco sauce"... That's how ya do it...

[@Y10HK29]

Wait......wheres the hp sauce?

[@Mojoclatan]

I know that the HP sauce is missing from my videos i agree a sandwich with HP is good. The reason the troops used it was because all the food tasted the same. I used to cook for the military for many years and a huge pan of all in stew can easily burn slightly and HP takes the burn taste out.

He didn't have it at the time because he shared it with his mate.

[@NoirChat138]

Remember to use half the stuff in order to share with "the mate"

Just to improve things pep it up a little bit

[@Friendofafriend0]

He's gotta save it for his mate

[@andyasdf2078]

I can imagine this guy just going out the fire escape of his job at M&S on his break, lighting a fire and cooking a stew in a mess tin

[@YorkshireTrench]

haha good imagination.. not M&S No.

[@Apeksim]

Did you share this with a mate?

[@YorkshireTrench]

we did. All shared with mates

[@lorax1986]

Was hoping to see this comment!

[@SteveBrownRocks2023]

I’d be more than happy to have some of this stew! A bit of cheese, some bread, & a mug of strong tea & I’m ready to go! ☕️🫖🍞🧀

[@jamiejudd8018]

This is magnificent truly magnificent thank you very much for sharing sir🇬🇧😊🔥👌😊

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

I'm here because I'm reading Rogue Heros by Ben MacIntyre. Can't wait to try it.

[@yusuf.alajnabi]

That is a great stew that you can make in about 20 to 30 minutes. I will definitely give it a try

[@angelohugoolivaresbassi3947]

dude this is soo cool

[@YorkshireTrench]

Thanks

[@evansketches]

Looks yummy! I'd add that to my rice👌👌👌

[@YorkshireTrench]

Did you add to your Rice?

[@Reyfan601]

Yeah did you add it?

[@abdelellahmarroun5529]

Keep up the good work ! :)

[@YorkshireTrench]

Thanks! A few more videos on the way, if you can share our Crowdfunding page or donate that would be appreciated :)

[@paulwolf7562]

It's really interesting watching these different channels, preparing these rations. It gives yoy a better idea of they actually ate. When I used to reenact Civil War and Great War, it gave me a chance to experience it under mostly field conditions, using some original equipment, mess kits, spoons, canteen cups, etc. I'm glad, I had the chance to do it, when I did? This really takes me back.

[@aethericsx]

I made my first corned beed stew it's amazing!!!

[@BELCAN57]

I can see my Grandfather, who fought for the Crown in the CEF eating something like this.

[@YorkshireTrench]

Hello, thank you for the comment. Can you tell us a little bit more about your grandfather? Where did he fight, what regiment? Thank you in advance! :)

[@adib396]

HP Sauce eventually replaced by including Chilli Sauce in the British Army ration packs to "enhance" flavours. Hard Tack evolved into Biscuits Brown in the Rat packs.

[@mahazrymalik1579]

Corn beef with tomato ketchup and onion are delicious tooo

[@YorkshireTrench]

I like the sound of that

[@deadman-pr3iv]

I never knew u can make stew with corn beef. I should share this with my mates, I sure they will love it....

[@germanredneck9019]

Thanks, awesome video! Gonna try that for Sure!

[@F_Fetch_]

[@YorkshireTrench]

Love HP sauce!

@@DoctorDeath147and now, till 20 minutes to go, he can sit back, and enjoy a nice warm meal.

[@tommyjoestallings855]

I love your interest in reacting what soldiers went thru. In there culinary situation. Mate. Hp only thing missing. My great-grandfather. Was n France during World War 1 and I had the luxury of knowing him. Till I was 13. He lived to be a 103. And I remember stories and talking about cooking bully beef in veggies. And the trenches and all the horrors they went through. I really wish I'd have been older and then pick his brain more

[@ebla83]

I make this stew, and it is actually quite good.

[@mattrika4874]

Congratulations an interesting series of videos! Quick question:- Is the razor wire topped fence to keep you in, or others out?!!

[@YorkshireTrench]

Thanks for your interest, if you can share our Crowdfunding page or donate that would be appreciated :) It's to keep people out, recoded few in a secure location...

[@douglas2632]

Must be soft tack Slap a hunk bully beef on a hard biscuit. Thats dinner

[@The_Republic_of_Ireland]

What's the story with the tin of boiling water next to the actual stock tin?

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

Tea. Or washing up.

[@NguyenPhuc-px7pg]

I learnt how to cut potatoes. I used to push it down instead of slicing it. It gave me a stupid pump

[@zIDIOTeh]

I like how this dudes just posted up behind his office or some shit.

[@chumlee8844]

Civilized the world for spices, yet refuse to cook with even black pepper! LOL Try adding an onion, fresh pepper, or spices next time, I think you'll enjoy it.

[@simonyip8571]

You sound like you have an Hull accent, is that correct??

[@YorkshireTrench]

No, Leeds. Close though...

[@ltcarlsen2152]

Are you gonna share it with your mate?

[@bunnajoe556]

what stock did you use here ?

[@agoodboi3781]

Chicken

[@whathappensinmaine5463]

I just made some, im yhe only one in my house to eat it tho😢

[@dingram1066]

Where did you get the mess tin

[@YorkshireTrench]

Just something that we had laying around. Are you looking for something similar?

[@dingram1066]

Yes Handy Plus I have just started World War I reenacting here in the US

[@Mojoclatan]

@@dingram1066 Hi Drew you can buy them through Army and navy stores here in rhe uk or try ebay they have them there as well. Although the mess tin that I use is modern best wishes john

[@jimhowes2983]

How can it be authentic when the biscuit was baked " a couple of days ago" ? . Troops in WW1 suspected their biscuits were left overs from the Boer war... I can't help but wonder how many rifle butts were split breaking those things up...

[@naguerea]

Oh the memories, squatting under the trees, the East German border within my view. with 5 rounds in my Sterling.

[@whitescar2]

Have to say that cooking with that type of mess tin, shallow and wide, more like a frying pan than a pot, has got to be one of the most fuel inefficient ways of preparing a meal. :/ Wonder how many lives could have been saved by proper nutrition if they'd issued pot-type, rather than clamshell-type mess tins?

[@YorkshireTrench]

Very interesting point!

[@adib396]

Well, that's the exact Mess tin we were issued during basic training in the British Army in the 80's. You get two and if you want to keep the heat in you put one on top of the other as a lid. Works fine.

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

The design is more for going through a mess line. But unlike the U.S. mess kit these are actually useful for cooking. I'm sure that if possible soldiers would use a better vessel. But this is what they were issued. And a mug.

[@alpinealpine2793]

Firstly your hardtack is way under cooked. You should not be able to break it with your hands. It will go off in a matter of weeks. Secondly all these trench recipes are bollocks for the consumption of the dears back home. Breakfast in the trenches if you're lucky, 4 biscuits of hardtack softened in water with a can of corn beef. Shared between 2. Dinner, repeat.

[@vinnyyazzie9229]

All wrong mate . Dice it on a fucking rock for more authentic taste and don’t use stock and only use 1 cooking tray . NOT REAL trench cooking your doing here

[@coco_sloth]

*No need for that foul language!*

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

Boullion (Oxo) cubes make decent broth.

[@bb2866]

you sound very uneducated if you don't mind me saying so.
