The rations of the British Army on campaign changed very little from the French & Indian War in the 1750s until the Crimean War in 1856, consisting of preserved meat, dried beans or rice, butter, and such vegetables as could be bought or foraged. We will look at cooking techniques and recipes used to make a meal for a five-man “mess”. We will cook over an outdoor fire with authentic equipment to make “lobscouse”, a stew made from Army rations. The instructor is the camp cook for the 4th (King’s Own) Regiment, a local reenactor group. Instructor: Michael McComas
