Description
It's 1917, you're in the trenches - what do you eat?
These are the foods that the starving, beleaguered, terrified soldiers of British WW1 soldiers had to endure in the trenches.
Was it good? No. Was it nourishing? Not really. Was it filling! Not even close - but what is food?!.. sort of.

This is part of a NEW series, where I take historical food & drink recipes, and not only recreate it, but IMPROVE it. Subscribe for food from all across human history, and a few other weird things besides.
