I am always amazed when I think about the days when providing a meal was so much more than prepping food and turning a knob. And in a camp like this, the cook was under a lot of pressure to satisfy...these men worked hard and burned food faster than race cars and gasoline.
Thank you for stopping by...Dig in and be amused! A 'Mess Hall' isn't the only place to feed a crowd...many of us do it every day right from our own kitchens. IT IS YOUR MESS, YOUR HALL...fill it with Living, Love, and Laughter!

A HISTORICAL FACT
Mess hall dining dates back to the beginning of time- when everyone gathered around a fire to eat the latest kill.
Thank you for visiting my blog-I enjoyed looking at yours. Yes, I often think about cooks in the past, in the days when they had wood stoves and probably butchered their own meat and grew everything they ate. We have it easy now, don't we?
