DISHING IT OUT WITH THE KITCHEN CREW

Most likely there isn't anybody who knows the individual in Service Company better than the kitchen crew. The old saying 'An Army Travels On It's Stomach' is tops with us. By that I mean eating has a heck of a lot to do with morale, and morale must be had to assure victory. So much for that.

Since we put out chow day in and day out, three meals a day, we know the taste of practically all the men, that is, what they like and don't like to eat. And then come the usual remarks made while chow is being served which are just about S. O. P. It's all in fun (we hope). The remarks are as follows:
