My invention relates to a concentrated food intended to be packed in tins particularly
for an "emergency or "irou-ration" for soldiers. I take 18 pounds of best scotch
Beef free from bone gristle and sinew and mince the same, I mince also 6 ounces of
best peeled onions and 1 pound and a quarter of Kidney suet. For the preparation
or cooking of the ingredients I use a jacketted steam pan or a pan heated on the fire
or by gas and first put in the suet which I allow to melt and when I have allowed it
to boil I add the onions and the beef stirring well all the time. When these ingredients
begin to cook I add one pound of best household Flour and later on 1 pound and a
quarter of preserved dried Potatoe which has been reduced to powder. I then flavor
with pepper and salt. When these ingredients are well cooked I remove from the pan
and with the amount of the ingredients above set forth I am able to fill there with
26 ten ounce tins at least. The tins and contents should be preserved by any well
known process.
