The source for this simple beef stew recipe comes from an original copy of the Hospital Stewards Manual.

One of my Uncles a WW II Veteran, used to cover Stew with a lid made of dumpling mix, everything underneath is steamed and the whole thing bubbles. Haven't cooked it in years till last week. Thanks for reminding me of a guy who loved cooking for other people.
Thanks for sharing the story! That’s how we gain a perspective of history. We appreciate it!
Thank you for sharing this recipe! It was a delight to watch it come together in this video. 👍🍲
I was surprised that the meat and vegetables weren't cut up smaller. Looked delicious.
I can see a few dandelions added, especially in the spring.
Thank you Will, this will be made at events
That’s our goal! Use this to enrich your experience!!
@@CivilWarDigitalDigest I most definitely will.
I would have probably given the onions a proper roast and browning before adding so they develop their wonderfull flavours better like you would do for good stock, but i guess it does the job of getting the calories in with little effort.
That certainly sounds tasty! We kept it to the original recipe for storytelling. Love your suggestion!
@@CivilWarDigitalDigest true enough, it probably all depended on both the conditions and the cook.
If the cook is short handed and needs to just get the food cooked and ready to be eaten , or has other duties , he is gonna chop all three elements and dump it into pots to turn and stir on the fire already combined. If he has time he is gonna have meat in its own pots, let the onions cook up to caramelize and then add it to the meat. Meanwhile have potatoes cut up fine to boil and let the starches leach out. Put most of the onions beef and potatoes in one pot on a low simmer and then cook down the remaining onions with some of the starchy potato water into a gravy to add overtop.
A proper stew does not need a ladle to serve, is served not in a bowl but on a plate with just enough lip to hold the gravy in, and travels to the mouth not with a spoon but with a fork and crust of bread
But a field cook often does not have time for a proper stew and instead makes a meaty soup that will keep hot longer and be served with the least amount of wastage
Love this channel!
Thank you!!

Hey Will, I'm interested to know if you have any sources in the regulations or in primary sources on doing laundry while on campaign. It's something that seems like it would be common for men whenever they had the chance, but is drastically underrepresented at most events.
What website did the knives come from (I think I asked a few yrs ago previously) and where did the salt and pepper tins come from?
I am working with the gentleman I bought the tins from to see if we can get a source for the spice tins.
Sir, I was wondering if you could describe the large cook pot, with fluid capacity, overall dimensions and where one of these might be bought ??? Kind regards, SgtProvo
It is a reproduction sold by Townsend. It’s Either 4 or 5 quarts and the lid is sold separately. If you order, tell them we sent you. You will want to season it after you get it.
I'm curious as why they didn't peel the onion and potato?
We do not know whether they did or did not. Since the recipe was silent, we chose not to do what we were not told to do.
Where would I procure a large boiler like this? What size is it?
The best place these days would be to check with Axel Ulrich.
@@CivilWarDigitalDigest Will do that, thanks! What size is it?
Where did you source the boilers from?
It was from a short run done by Axel Ulrich years ago. I don’t think he does them anymore.
