Brinestain and Biscuit: Recipes and Rules for Royal Navy Cooks

Author: National Archives

Climb aboard one of His MajestyâЂ™s ships, circa 1930, pull up the gangplank and prepare to experience galley life at sea. Enjoy the arcane practices, no-nonsense instructions and a wealth of period recipes from an era when the map was painted red and âЂempire buildersâЂ™ were not just a pair of shorts. Learn how to avoid the dangers of âЂbone taintâЂ™ and âЂfly-blown meatâЂ™. Discover what to do with a âЂsteam chestâЂ™ and how to work an âЂAldershot ovenâЂ™. Once equipped, you will be in tip-top shape to delve into the recipesâЂ"from the simple yet gargantuan (sausages for 500 men: take 125 lbs of sausages, fry in lard, add âЂbrown gravyâЂ™) to the relatively small-scale and refined, you will get an insight into how the sailors lived and ate. And it was more varied than you might imagine, so they were not always stuck between a rock cake and a hard biscuit.

There are the dishes to stir the heart (âЂPatriotic puddingâЂ™ or âЂQueen Bess puddingâЂ™), the nautically exotic (âЂMock Turtle soupâЂ™, âЂCanary puddingâЂ™), the down-to-earth way with offal (âЂfaggots and peasâЂ™, âЂsheepâЂ™s head brothâЂ™) and the faintly scary âЂbeef tea with eggâЂ™ or âЂbrown stewâЂ™. There are even salads (well, a few). All in all, for a cookâЂ™s eye view of Navy life, this book takes the biscuit.
