FAO Spades - Cooking advice

Post by tybfc » Thu Jun 04, 2020 3:51 pm

Good afternoon spades and I hope that you are well.

I have just been clearing out some old school papers of Alex and came across a book of recipes.

One of the recipes is shown below and was made during the war for the soldiers wives to make their families and I wondered whether you could recommend it during our lockdown times?

It was from WW1 by the way :)

Trench Stew

Method
1. Chop up the carrots into small pieces.
2. Chop up the other vegetables into larger pieces.
3. Add the vegetables and the 1/2 stock cube to a pint of boiling water.
4. Stir the vegetables until they become tender.
5. Add in the 1/2 tin of corned beef (you can leave this out if you are vegetarian).
6. Crumble in the stale bread or biscuits.
7. Leave and simmer for a few minutes.
8. Serve and enjoy!

I think point 8 tells you that it's worth having a go. The word 'enjoy' says it all.

Did they have vegetarians in those days? Despite me having yet another birthday tomorrow I still don't remember those times.

Is this your real birthday or trooping the colour birthday? Either way a premature happy birthday from myself and Mrs Huw.

If it's who I think it is he was only half his current age when he first 'spoke' to me on Clarets Mad.
