Do you like to eat?

This blog was pointed out to me the other day, and I need to share it. I'm going to post this in both the Heer/RW/W-SS section as well as the reenacting section, because this information is of value to both the historian and the reenactor.

Bon appetit!

interesting article you got there. While the mess tins are eye-catching but I am curious about
the daily rations of the soldiers---German soldiers, Soviets, Scandinavians... what did they eat ? Were there any ersatz foods?

Chewy, that blog just has the recipes, but he cites his material, and he has other links on there as well. I was looking for specific information to help my own research and writing, so I'm not sure what you'd find from your angle.

i read in the blog abt an interesting way to roast coffee right in comfort of own kitchen. But i have heard stories
fr elders how making coffee with rice during WW2 (that's in the Philippines) have yet to see how it is made. Might post it when
I find the recipe.

Uh ok...I saw some wartime recipes too. Interesting. Will read the blog further. Thanks for providing the link

As promised. Coffee by roasting rice which came to known during WW2 probably due to scarcity of "luxury" food items.
