Let me see....I like Spam and eggs;Spam, Spam and eggs; Spam,Spam,Spam and eggs; Spam,Spam,Spam,Spam and eggs; Spam,Spam,Spam, Spam,Spam,beans and eggs. (I also like Monty Python!)
Actually Spam is a very versatile meat (it is meat isn't it?) I cook it with hash browns to make a poor man's Corned Beef Hash or chop up pickles and mash it with mayo to make a sandwich spread. It's great! I also think its the secret ingredient in Haggis, 'tho no Scotsman would admit it! |

Some time between late 1941 and 42 the chefs were given a new delicacy for their fine menu's. It was a salami type canned meat in a long roll, God knows I don't know what its true ingredient was. But, if you have ever lived on a farm where they raised horses you will understand the slang. I remember someone asking the cook just what in the hell is this that we are eating and our "B" Company chef who had a great sense of humor said look at it, what the hell does it look like? it is a horse cock man. That name stuck with this culinary delight forever. |

During the Ortona episode tack headquarters moved into a large farmhouse which had two huge wine tanks. They were probably part of a co-op enterprise when our RSM witnessed a foot slogger filling his water bottle with some of the tank contents and I am sure this soldier really thought he had hit the mother load. Our RSM immediately sprung into action and carried out the atrocity of all atrocities he opened the discharge valves on both the tanks which left us slopping around in pools of wine for the next couple of hours. to the vino hounds in the regiment this was truly a heart breaking disaster. |

Scroungers Extrodinaire!!
A corporal from the Hasty Pee's who hailed from Picton,and who was the company commanders driver with a jeep,who played baseball against my dad when he played for the Kingston pony's,shows up at the transport pool looking for my dad,He tells him the CO is having a little party,and he needs something for supper.Well,vino & spaghetti go well together,But it was going to finally cost them a 40 ouncer,So dad,on his run so called run down to Bari, with bottle absconded from we know not where,returns to his unit where the corporal is waiting for him.Not only did he bring him a sack of flour,but a keg of vino,and a case of spam.Not only did the dinner go over well,but dad & my scrounging uncle from 1RCHA,had a riproaring drunk.Not only was my uncle an artillery scrounger,but he also operated a laundry service on the side where dividends/trades were legendary.

My cousin was in XXX Corps in Italy. He told us of the "Battle for the Pig"! A big old sow was between the Canucks and the Germans, and an artillery duel erupted , each side trying to scare the pig towards their own position. The Canadians finally sortied out at night and "Brought home the bacon", but only after many thousands of dollars worth of ammo was expended. He said the bite of fresh pork that he got was worth every penny!
