The emergency ration of our own
army, as prepared for the trenches,
consists of chocolate tablets and
packets of parched corn meal. The
latter seems to|have been suggest
ed by the parched corn of the In
dams who often, when on the war
path and compelled to undergo
great fatigues. subsisted for days
on this food alone Still. as a ra-
ton, the pemmican which some Of
the American tribes ultimately
adopted, is said to be much supe-
rior in sustaining power to the
corn meal. or any other cereal food,
since it contains chopped meat to-
sether with grain.
The Italian rations contain chOco-
late stuffed in sausage-like cases,
and a kind of plum duff. stuffed
with raisins, and enclosed in a long
membrance. in which it can be
cooked with steam, while the empty
case will serve for a tobacco pouch.
The Italian duff is said TO be more
nourishing than the British plum
pudding. A kind called spotted
dog" is prepared with dark Italian
wines instead of water, while rich
nut meats are used for shortening.
This recalls the rye bareback of
the Russians. in the mixing of which
beef blood is employed instead of
water.
