Basic Trench Cooking - Maconochie Stew | #3

[@amirsafwan8491]

I heard that British soldiers brought along a bottle of HP sauce to make their rations taste a bit better in WWI.

[@alexparisien311]

All the lads do it, just to improve it. Pep it up a bit.

[@lauritorni4879]

He must share it with his mate

[@jlshel42]

A fine addition to any shtew.

[@recondoc65]

And, of course, the shtew was improved by adding the veg from the French farmer who didn't know he was helping.

Thanks :) hope you are having some good food this weekend

This is definitely the best version of the stew a A British soldier could get in the trenches.

[@gabrielho1874]

Apparently they're distributed in cans and sometimes had to be eaten cold. No stew tastes good when cold

Looks nice, can't beat an Irish stew though but I'll make this to compare

Fat isn't necessarily a bad thing when looking at sheer calories

Great wee video mate . . . BUT . . . You need to sort out your microphone, sound is very low, I'm picking up a lot of noise from the gas burner on the No 5 !

[@YorkshireTrench]

@@clivedunning4317 Will have a look. Just trying to raise awareness for our Yorkshire Trench Restoration Project, just giving. Beginners when it comes to making videos

M. and V. Tune:- John Brown’s Body Oh, a little bit of ev’rything got in a tin one day, And they packed it up and sealed it in a most mysterious way; Some Brass Hat came and tasted it, And " 'Pon me, Sam," says he, "We shall feed it to the soldiers, And we'll call it M. and V."

[@YorkshireTrench]

Beef OXO Cube or Veg stock will do!

Looks great, and I suffered chicken cacciatore T-rats (reheated tray rations) exclusively for a week back in 91. Good but boring
