FOREWORDFt. Thomas, Ky.

Sergeant Harry B. Clyatt, Infantry, U. S.Army, the author of this pamphlet, is a gradu-ate of the Army School for Cooks and Bakers,and has been on duty at this post for approxi-mately four (4) years. During this period hegained valuable experience in the art of pro-viding food for large bodies of soldiers, especi-ally so during the draft-period, when at timesas many as 5,000 men were subsisted at thispost.As an aid in the selection of appropriatemenus, and as a handy reference-manual tocalculate almost instantly the different quanti-ties of food-components required in order toprepare said menus with a minimum loss andwastage, the contents of this pamphlet shouldprove of great help and assistance to all personscharged with the important task of preparingmeals in either small or large quantities.

PETER E. TRAUB,Colonel, Cavalry (_D. O. L.)Commanding.

PLANNING THE TRIPWhen planning for an outside trip you must

figure on two things: Either a trip by shoulderpack or transportation trip. If we are goingon a shoulder pack we must outfit with thelightest things that we can carry, the numberof days out on the trip with the least weightand bulk. Wise campers prefer to go light,doing without most of the home comforts.You will find that the camp cooking is alto-gether different from the cooking on a kitchenstove. You will find that the common cookbooks are out of place in camping for the reasonyou have not the various ingredients to fill thebill of fare called for in the book recipes.

If I am to make a trip of several days, andgoing alone and without pack horse, I mustcut down all weight possible. I would takeblankets, poncho or pup tent, three pie tins,a tall army quart cup, knife, spoon and fork,either separate or combination set, and thenecessary light foods for the required numberof days to complete the entire trip. The foodis left to the individual as each one has theirown taste. If there is game or fish in thecountry, I v/ould not consider taking alongany fresh meat or canned meat, but takeplenty of bacon, flour, coffee, sugar, salt,pepper and baking powder.Sugar is good and a ready food for a trip.I have often made trips with plenty of hardbread or sea biscuits and a big lump of brownsugar. On a trip of this kind there will beneither time nor utensils for baking on theway. Bread we must have plenty. It is thecheapest food and with it you can toast or fryit in your bacon fat. One other article I wouldcarry along would be bars of cooking chocolate,something worth while to have along with you.

RECIPENow as a suggestion for a bill of fare, usingthe above articles for such cooking as may be

necessary for the scout when thrown upon hisown resources, the following bill of fare hasbeen prepared as a sample.Where you have an army mess outfitmeat can, spoon, knife, fork and cup, a canteenfor holding water, almost anything that canbe cooked at all, can be cooked or prepared in

FOR HANDLING BILL OF FARENO. 13Take two-thirds of a cup of water; bring

to boil. Add four heaping spoonfuls of rice;boil until soft. This will require about 15minutes. Add a pinch of salt to the "waterjust before adding the rice. When soft, pouroff the water, if any, and empty the rice outon the lid of the mess pan.After the rice has been placed on the fireto boil, cut and fry three slices of bacon untilbrown in the mess pan over a brisk fire or hotcoal.Remember that the best fire for outsidecooking is the small clear one, or better yetwith a few brisk coals.

It is quite impossible to prepare a good mealover a poor smoky fire, and a camper is mostly,known by the kind of fires he builds.After the bacon has been fried, lay it ontop of the rice. Leave enough grease in thepan in which you can finish frying the flap-jacks. Flapjacks are mixed with six spoonfulsof flour, one-third spoonful of baking powderand a pinch of salt. Now mix this well, addingenough cold water to make a batter that willdrop freely from the spoon. A little sugar w'llhelp to brown the jacks nicely.When the batter is ready to fry have thepan sizzling hot with plenty of grease so thatthe batter does not stick to the pan. Let frytill top is nearly dried up, meanwhile tuckingup the edges with your knife.Don't let it burn. When ready to turn oversee that it is loose from the pan and then, bya quick flip or a toss, turn it over in the air,catch it in the pan and let fry till done.

While the flapjacks are frying wash out thecup, fill two-thirds full of water, and let come toboil. Add one heaping spoonful of coffee, stirweU, let come to boil and remove to the edgeof the fire to simmer ten minutes. Pour alittle cold water over the top to settle thegrounds. A hot meal is now ready to serve tothe hungry scout.The time required for cooking depends onthe cook and the fire, but is usually 20 minutes.When stopping for the noon-day lunch orany other quick meal, you only have to boilyour cofl"ee and to fry your ration. A large fireis not needed.

The following is a list of ration articles withthe least amount of moisture, to carry as a packration

:

fRoUed OatsPowdered EggsFlourBeans (white)Lima BeansDried and Evaporated Fruits

1 ^Shelled NutsPowdered MilkPowdered CoffeeSalt PorkCornmealMacaroni(Split PeasfFresh BeefVealMuttonEggsPoultryPotatoesOnionsCan CornBaked Beans (canned)Evaporated MilkPine applefTomatoes

3 ^Can SoupsI Fresh Vegetables(Fresh Fruits

Always consider what kind of country youarc going to travel through, then consider thethings you may outfit. Pick out the bestarticles for the occasion and season; also con-sider what part of your ration may be had orbought enroute, or in the country that youwill pass through.Stop and build your camps near goodwater, spring or well. Pitch ctunp on newground, not the old camp sites.

YV)u will find that the old campers who carryguns and rods will scorn big packs. Theytake only bacon or salt pork, flour, beikingpowder, salt, pepper, coff"ee and sugar.They depend on the gun and rod to furnishvariety to their menu. This looks good inbook form but they must do some huntingEuid fishing.

Salt pork is middling, but smoked bacon isfirst choice in camping.

Dried beef is good in permanent camps, butnot good on hikes, as it is a thirst producer.Canned meats are a good substitute formeat. Use small cans so that when opened

all may be used at once. Don't leave in cansor metal ware.

Extracts of beef are good for gravies andsoups and fine for sick campers.Can salmon is a good change in the menu.Salt or smoked fish are also good in per-manent camps.Prepared soups have a little more weight,but are good when you have transportation.Powdered milk is very good. You will find

evaporated milk same weight as soups.Fresh potatoes are also very good.Onions are fine, either raw, fried or stewed.Dehydrated potatoes are good for hash or

stews.Canned beans are very good as a ration

article.Sugar is an excellent and a quick food article.Evaporated fruits are fine for breakfast use.Syrup is a fine camper's article, as a person

in fresh air will crave for sweets.Nuts shelled are a good emergency ration.Coffee ranks as No. 1 in hikers' ration.Tea is very good. Cold tea is fine to carryon your hikes.Chocolate is a very sustaining article of diet.Pickles are very good as an acid food.Alwa'ys choose your ration to suit the season

of the year. Use the light diet for the warmweather.Heavy diet is for the winter season.You must choose your own foods from the

ration tables showing the difi"erent varietiesand the right quantities per person.Read the basic unit tables of issues.

THE BASIC I'MTThe Hasic Unit is the proportion mnilc up

for 100 porsjujs or 100 portions, so that whenwo want to TiKure for various nunit>crs of per-sons, all that will he neressury is U> use thedecimal multiplier and multiply the numl>er ofI>ersons to l>e fed hy the Hasir Unit as follows:

FLAPJACKSThe plain flour is always the best to takealong for camping purposes, as sometimes you

will wish to have flour for your gravy. Thenagain the dampness may affect your flour.There are so many ready-made preparationson the market, so that if you wish to have a

try at making flapjacks it is not necessary forthe camper to mix his own dry ingredients.He only has to add cold water slowly to makehis cake batter and it is ready for use.These ready-made brands contain sugar,salt, egg powder, etc. Of course, this kind offlour wiU be lighter for your pack.When frying flapjacks use enough lard, butnot too much as to make the cake soggy.Have the grease sizzling hot, so the batter willspread and set as soon as possible, but don'thave the batter too thick.

If your lard is not hot enough the cakes willsoak up oil and become sodden. When thebatter is too thick, they may break and crumblewhen removed from the pan.When you have poured the batter, tip yourpan so as to spread the batter out quickly.When it has dried up well, take a knife andloosen around the edge and give her a flip inthe air to turn and catch it in the pan again.Beginners do not usually flip them highenough. Practice is what you need in the cook-ing line to have confidence in yourself.

THE SCOUT TWISTFor biscuit dough mix one quart of flour,adding two teaspoonfuls baking powder,quarter teaspoonful salt, and four teaspoonfulscondensed milk. Now rub cold lard, the sizeof an egg, into this mixture, adding a little ata time enough water to make a stiff" dough.Always mix with a spoon and keep your hsmdsout of the above.Most anyone can hake biscuits in an ovenor reflector, but you must remember that youare travelling with a pack and you will nothave a reflector along with you.So we will use the scout methods of makingthe bread.First build your fire so that when you areready to commence baking it will have burneddown to hot coals, this being the best for baking.Now hunt and cut a green stick two or three

Fats are necessary in the bread making.It acts as a shortening and keeps the breadfresh longer.

Milk will be found very rich in proteins,fats, starch and vitamines.Water we must have with our foods to re-place the moisture that leaves our bodies.

BAKING AND FRYINGBaking Without Oven: When your pastry

is ready for baking, scoop out a hole six inchesdeep and a foot square. Have one side slopingso you can remove all the coals and ashes whenthe ground is well heated. Build a good firewith large limbs, let burn down to hot coals,mold your bread into a loaf, then rake out allcoals from the hole. Place your loaf into itand recover with the coals and let bake usually30 minutes. This depends on the size of theloafif small it will bake quicker. Test witha sliver of wood or a thin limb, pushing it intothe center of the loaf. If the stick comes outdry it is done and should be taken out of thefire at once.Cooking By Frying: Too much frying is

expensive and is hard on the cook in the sum-mer time.Fritter Batter:

1 pt. Flour4 Eggs5 teanspoonful Salt3 tablespoonfuls Fat or Butter1 pt. Water

Mix all dry ingredients, rub in the fat, addeggs, mix well, add a little water at a time to athickness so that it will drop from spoon slowly;beat well before using. This batter is used forsliced fruit, fritters, small pieces of meat,game, fish, shell fish, corn, apple fritters andboiled rice fritters. All fritters outside of meatand fish are served with syrup or a sauce.

The larger the number to feed, when youknow how, is when you can feed better.Always figure on how many are going to bepresent at the next meal and prepare accord-ingly.The above ways of figuring with the BasicUnit are the same ways for any number of per-sons, as the portions vary the same as thenumber of persons vary. By this system yourtotal of the money value divided by the num-ber of persons figured will give you the costof that meal for (1) person. This will be so ifyou move the decimal to its proper place.Cheese and bologna are always good to haveon hand, as sometimes you will figure short ofmeat for that meal, and by this way you Savesomething handy to substitute very qxiickly.Then, again, you may be called on to makelunches when you happen to have no coldmeats. You know while in camp there are somany side trips and hikes that there are alwayscalls for lunches. There are a great manyother things for which, if you just stop andthink over, you can have on hand for sand-wiches for lunches, such as cookies bought inthe bulk in 20-lb. tins or packages. They aregood and wiU carry better than cakes. Haveon hand fruit of some kind. These cookies aregood at meal times and will save you a lot ofbaking. There u-e many ways for using cookiesto change about and none to waste and go stalelike cake will.In making up bills of fare, save aU the workyou can. I have found that by buying thebulk cookies that they make the best deserts,simple, labor saving and economical. Whenyou buy, get the one that will average the mostto the pound; not the sugar coated ones as theyweigh heavy. For a change take and thindown some jam or jelly and paste two cookiestogether and vary it in other ways, such asdesert with cream sauce, as in the cottagepudding, etc.MEAT FOR THE PRUDENT BUYER

Fish, Indian Bake: Take a fresh caughtfish and roll in a blanket of wet clay, as dry aspossible to handle. Then close both ends.Rake the coals from the center of the fire.Now place the clay ball in the center and re-cover, and let cook 30 to 40 minutes or longerif the fish is large.When fish is done, roll the clay ball from thefire and by tapping lightly with a stick theclay can be removed in two halves. Nowseason with salt and pepper and serve hot.Frying and broiling are the quickest ways.Fish Cakes are nice. I generally use cansalmon and mashed potatoes, seasoning withsalt and pepper. Mix the above well, with awell beaten egg or two, mold in small cakes,dip in flour and fry in your pan.Clam Chowder: Take clams and leave inwater a few minutes. Then wash well, placethem in your kettle for cooking, cover withenough water (boiling is the best), and letcook a few minutes till the shells are all opened.Now pour off the soup and save it. Take theclams and remove the meat from shells,cutting it up and frying with diced bacon.Wash out your kettle to remove all sand orpieces of shell. Now pour your clams with thebacon, adding the stock or clam soup, and letcook ten minutes. While this is cooking, peelsome potatoes and add one sliced onion.When nearly ready to remove from stove addsome cracker crumbs, or you may mix up alittle batter and thicken the soup. Tomatoesmay be added if desired.

Salt Fish : All salt fish needs soaking in coldwater a few hours before cooking. Codfishcan be used as follows:Creamed codfish.Codfish balls (same as salmon balls).Codfish hash.Smoked herrings are used by toasting overhot coals.English bloaters are prepared as above.Sardines are fried.

five gallons of water. Add salt, place on stove,bring to quick boil for five minutes, and removeto back part of range and let simmer slowly.Don't stir with spoon and keep lid on tight.The steam will do the cooking. This is thewhole secret of rice cooking. If rice is washedwell it does not let the starch settle on thebottom of your pan to start burning. Openingthe Ud several times lets the steam get away.Stiring breaks the grain of the rice, lets out thenatural flavor and causes the starch to settleand scorch in the bottom of the pan.Fried Rice (100 Scouts):10 lbs washed Rice
