With regards to a period correct camp, what is the food of choice, or favorite dish that you prepare in camp??
I have been having a hard time trying to get my "food thoughts" out of my 18th century re-enacting. I know if it walked, it would pretty much end up in a pot, and then the "staple" issued rations. But what about when the general public wallks up and asks?
I have been slowly getting my Roman library built up, and have a few cook books, but I am not thinking those dishes would have been served unless you were in the actual city. Thoughts??
I hope this is the right area to post, as I am looking for ideas and info about re-creating the basic "camp life" or Castra.
Respectfully,
Wes
