Culinary Considerations For Shiloh

Re: Culinary Considerations For Shiloh

If there is really any pie this time, I'm going to see that some lucky officer is dealt my Donelson hand. And I expect a fine speech!

It would be awfully hard to top your speech at Donelson Matt, that was one the things that stuck me and my comrades for quite a while at that.

Charles,

Chastisement noted.

Gray, thin coffee and underdone beans sounds like a winner.

And should there be pie, and some goes missing, Eric Tipton should give the speech.

Chawls,

I think you should make a tomato pie. This might cut down on the pie thievery. Except for one feller that is....

We are still all awonder at the feller who begged us to see did we have any 'maters. We said we did not. "Not even in a can?" said he.

Carefully painted and labeled can was produced for the pitiful soul and I assume he opened it with his bayonet. At any rate, he was eating whole stewed tomatoes right out of the can.

A man that would do that would steal a whole pie....

I don't know lady, I wasn't pilfering from you in Louisiana, but I damned near would take a mater pie from someone in Tennessee

Shavin's, if you had whole stewed tomatoes I'd eat them right out of a can...even if I wasn't out in the field! When my granddad was small, his mother would send him to the store after canned tomatoes. She knew to give him enough money for two cans, because one would evaporate on the way home.
