Paul WhiteThe Pussers Cook Book: Traditional Royal Navy recipes: 5 (Royal Navy 'Blue Books')

Had one similar good reading and sometimes funny

Bought for someone else

This product was bought as a gift but I did steal a quick flick through and memories of my life in the Senior Service cam flooding back with the recipes for babies heads and cheesy-hammy-eggies.

Delicious recipes pure indulgence.Naval culinary delights.Fond memories.

I reviewed this book for my RNA Branch - despite printing an index the pages are not numbered certainly on the two copies I purchased. The book does not carry a proper price marking with the result that various suppliers offer the book at anything between £9.31 and over £15.00. This is relatively expensive for a paperback with quite limited recipes. I joined the RN in 1948 and have personally produced many a Pot Mess, the tinned variety, and in ships with Canteen Messing. As far as I can recall, in my time it was rarely prepared by the Cooks, they just cooked it. Canteen Messing. Good reading especially the comments re Dockyard Gate fine dining and the best Cornish pasties that you will ever eat. However, overall disappointing. Sorry.

I bought this as a gift for my ex navy dad and he loved it!
