Sunday 17th
October 1915: A lance corporal in the East Anglian Royal Engineers serving in
Gallipoli has sent us the following recipe: “I broke up some biscuits and made
a paste with a little bacon fat and water, and then added half of a fruit cake
in slices. Then I made a pudding bag of a white handkerchief and boiled it in
my mess tin for an hour. It turned out a success as a biscuit and date
pudding”.
