    I feel like you'd be pretty dang lucky to know someone who cooked like this in the 18th century. I bet most dishes weren't timeless bangers like he's made here. You could make this 200 years in the future and it'd still earn complements to the chef.

    Much of the reading material you make mention of says to not let the soliders have access to cook in any way other then soups and stews, in order to get the most out of the meal.
    Given that it's the same ration cooked 3 ways, have you a thought on the directions thus given? Would you have found it harder to go a day marching on just the hash?

    Add a bit more water, some cubed bacon and some flour mixed with still boiling melted pork fat to that pea stew, and you will have polish "Military pea soup" :) It should be so thick, a spoon would stand upright in it. Of course now our army eats more refined dishes. But it is a traditional and still beloved staple of any military celebration in the field, prepared for the civilians in mobile field kitchens in mass quantities. We do have civilian versions of this soup of course - they are a lot less extreme :D

    No surprise, but this reminds me of Norwegian _lapskaus_, which is a thick stew made from meat (often salted) and vegetables, and essentially a thicker version of the clear meat and vegetable soup. (Indeed, the main difference between soup and lapskaus is usually how much the potatoes fall apart while cooking.) Thyme works very well in this dish, whether it ends up being a soup or a stew.

    • @TheLobstersoup

      Interesting. Here in Northern Germany "Labskaus" is a weird dish made from mashed potatoes and red beet, herring and a fried egg ^^ Tastes pretty good, but looks like someone threw up a bloody mess ;) I guess this dish is somewhat Norwegian, then, as it seems untypical for Germany. Interesting though that your lapskaus is a stew, basically.
