About this book
Directions for Cooking by Troops, in Camp and Hospital is credited to Florence Nightingale, and the book says it was prepared for the Army of Virginia and published by order of the Surgeon General. Recipe No. 1 gives coffee for one hundred men, one pint each, from 12 gallons of water and 3 lbs. of ground coffee. Other recipes cover how to fry meat, how to cook salt beef or pork, and salt beef or pork with mashed beans for one hundred men.
The book also carries essays on taking food and what food, credited to Florence Nightingale. The writer says that the vast majority of all patients in England, young and old, male and female, rich and poor, hospital and private, dislike sweet things, but that scorbutic patients are an exception and often crave sweetmeats and jams. The writer adds that the furred tongue almost always likes what is sharp or pungent.
