IrishGunner Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 I remember the Erbsensuppe, yummy! Exactly! And the bean soup out of the Gulaschkanone! European armies do this right; unfortunately, not a real tradition of the US Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 The Gulaschkanone was the highlight of any Herbstmanöver. However, you had to resist eating the apples off the trees (I'm sure you know why) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odulf Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys, I have many more but from a later period. I found another pc-size photo of a British mobile field kitchen, however here the stove is rather more used as a prop for a rather large mixed bag of soldiers, perhaps members of a training course? We see badges of: Canadians, Middlesex Rgt, Glouchestershire Rgt., Wiltshire Regt., Cheshire Rgt., RE, etc... But, as usual, when you closely watch the idividuals, you will note interesting details, such as the moneybelt of the guy who holds the funnel.

Odulf Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I am worried by Odulf's food obsession....... It's the obsession of all service personnel as, according to Napoleon, an army marches on it's stomach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
