Well we have drank it,shagged it,now I suppose its time to talk about eating it!....Delia Smith wouldn't cook the same way that we used to do in the field. Hygiene was never top of the list when cooking for a Gun-sub!...Take one large 'Dixie'and throw every conceivable item of 'Compo'rations that you could lay your hands on into it and heat!..till it looked like lumpy concrete. One of the lads didn't like what he called 'Commanche food',so he always had first dig into the pot!...Then the magic ingrediant was added 'Madras Curry Powder'....Guarantee'd to put a smile on your arse! The Compo used to bung you up! The Cordite,when you had been 'Live-firing'used to turn your 'turds'into black beasties.Teeth marks in the shit-house door on your return off exercise! Congratulations Gunner!....you have just given birth to a nine pound turd!...No pain,no gain you could say!.....Another recollection I have concerns 'Egg Banjo's'. I only have to smell eggs cooking to imagine either being on scheme or in N.Ireland. Strange but true!...In the field the QM's or REME lads used to have a scam flogging 'Egg Banjo's to the lads. In N.Ireland the 'Choogies'used to do the same! I suppose the connection between 'Egg Banjo's'and the smell of Cordite,and rotten eggs have some significance in this I think! What say you?........
