And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Yes! And we thought that C-Rations were bad. Those Civil War soldiers not only had to endure mule meat, but they also had possum, rhubarb, sauerkraut and other "delicacies."
That meme was obviously made by someone who never heard of what military rations were like during the Civil War, nor ever tasted a sample of the dotMil's culinary delights in their entire adult life.
For reference, McIlhenny's Tabasco Sauce was not only a favorite of troops in Vietnam and subsequent years up to the present day, the CEO of the company from 1949-1985 was a retired USMC general, a Distinguished Marksman, recipient of a Navy Cross, Silver Star, and two Purple Hearts from WWII combat service at Guadalcanal and Peleliu, and the grandson of the company founder.
It turns out C-rats and MREs weren't much better-tasting than salt beef and hardtack was in the Civil War.
NOT the original anymore. They changed it a good while back now. If you are old enough you can tell (Remember) the difference. I don't care for the newer stuff, found an Oriental sauce called Tonkatsu (Bull Dog one) that I like MUCH better. Do miss the original though it was good stuff.
As to the meme, anyone who has ever served in uniform and spent time in the field "camping" gets it.
If your steak needs sauce, something is wrong.
Grilled cheese sandwich. Slather A-1 on the inside of both pieces of bread. Add a piece of fried baloney and a fried egg. You will be able to feel your arteries clogging up, but you won't care.
Meat was short during the war. Folks in the big cities bought 50/50 (nobody ever explained if it was 50% horse/50% rabbit -or- 50 horses and 50 rabbits) Anyway, it was pretty bad and A1 made it at least tolerable
A.1. Sauce (formerly A.1. Steak Sauce and sometimes stylized as A1 Sauce in certain markets) is a brand of brown sauce produced by Brand & co, a subsidiary of Premier Foods in the United Kingdom (as "Brand's A.1. Sauce") and in North America by Kraft Heinz.
Sold from 1831 as a condiment for "fish, meat, fowl and game" dishes in the United Kingdom, the makers introduced the product to Canada, and later to the U.S. where it was later marketed as a steak sauce.
There’s never a bad time for a great steak… even if your neighbors are dying in droves around you.
ReplyDeletewuzdisheah sauce?
ReplyDeleteHad to do something to cover the taste of the mule meat.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly. Someone on the lines invented it to hide some bad "meat".

ReplyDeleteDid they change Maker's Mark sauce as well? Loved it back in the early 90s but bought one last year and it tasted like crap.
ReplyDeleteNever thought a good steak needed a sauce. Or a bad steak either. Especially that goo.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but if you want a sauce on your steak then make it from the juices in the pan.
ReplyDeleteGood on chicken.
ReplyDeleteA-1 was created in the UK.
ReplyDeleteLikes my steak like I likes my strumpet.
ReplyDeleteHot, juicy, and bare.
Tonkatsu sauce is better.

The Brits need all the help they can get for their food.
DeleteSo does the military.
