Army food
#1
hi does any one know anything about roman army food I.E how to make it?
"The Kaiser knows the Munsters,
by the Shamrock on their caps,
And the famous Bengal Tiger, ever ready for a scrap,
And all his big battalions, Prussian Guards and grenadiers,
Fear to face the flashing bayonets of the Munster Fusiliers."

If you have no problem reading German then, there is also the book Panis Militaris by Marcus Junkelman.

ISBN-10: 3805323328
ISBN-13: 978-3805323321

I guess everyone knows the troops had an alloted grain ration. But they probably ate better than we think they did. Foragers-- the venatores, and piscators-- went out and gleaned everything from deer to fish and clams. The surviving papyrus scraps found in Britain give us a list of what was "unofficially" eaten.:grin:
