As the saying goes, βAn army marches on its stomach.β Yet the essential contributions of those who cook, research, and serve food to hundreds of hungry troops often go unrecognised.
Taste of Combat honours the vital work of the Catering Corps and unveils the fascinating science and innovation behind military meals.
Step into the world of military catering to explore what and how troops have eatenβfrom the Boer War to Afghanistan. This immersive exhibition brings you personal stories from cooks on submarines to soldiers with field rations, showcasing the skill and adaptability of Defence chefs. Whether cooking in combat zones or delivering fine dining for diplomats, these chefs embody resilience and creativity.
Discover what First World War soldiers thought of their rations, hear stories from the most unexpected "field kitchens," and find out whatβs in a modern-day ration pack.
