Vicksburg Victuals

[coastaltrash]

The time is now to get your federal registration in for Vicksburg. Co A will be Captain Butler and Co F will be Captain Sorchy. Get them in quick and avoid the increase!

Re: Federal Registration

But do you get to eat wonderfully (and lovingly) prepared food at work such as you will be eating at Vicksburg?

...wonderfully (and lovingly) prepared food....

Rash assumptions abound!

Re: Federal Registration

How do you lovingly cook a mule?????????????

Re: Federal Registration

Easy. "I loved this mule" is said while you serve it. :sarcastic

Oh, ye of little faith, laugh hearty and long now, for you won't have the last laugh or last bray for that matter.

\../ says, "eat mo' chicken."

Perhaps this event folder needs its very own culinary considerations thread.

Re: Federal Registration

Dusty,
I'm not real sure, but me and some of the boys and a couple of Desert Eagle shells might be able to tell you in a few weeks. I bet now that the event is creeping up, and some of the folks are probably starting to get really about half way into their book of choice for the event they are starting to notice that they might have messed up going CS if they thought they would get fed well.



Get your money's worth- ALWAYS, get your fill- not on Pat Price's watch by God!

Re: Federal Registration

I hope that the Federal participants' rations will be high quality, lending themselves to a varied diet of many wonderful tastes, all excellently prepared. Perhaps turkeys, duck, smoked ham, and many other tasty things--most particularly, pie.

Yeah, and a pot of gold is going to land in my front yard in a minute or two. :)

Re: Federal Registration

I hope you don't mean the pot o' gold Kevin. Those part-a-johns can get messy when droped from altitude. Pat, who is on the feds' rations.
I remember something about hardtack . . .that can't be it. After all those attending CS get mule meat. A feast by any standard for a person under siege!

Re: Federal Registration

Pat, who is on the feds' rations.

One guess. You get one guess.

If you don't clean your plate at Shiloh, then you may see those leftovers at Vicksburg. You remember correctly about the shouts for hardtack; how poultry had become so darn tiresome to the boys in blue on their way northward, and how much they wanted that good old army pork.

So, that means....

Re: Federal Registration

Jeremy,
On site commissary is Charles. One agreement I made with Charles was to provide all needed materials, minus some pots and pans. Logistics aren't really a topic for the forum, it's being handled, folks will eat.

Re: Vicksburg Victuals

Charles does a dandy job of washing dishes as well, just ask him :tounge_sm .

My appologies, and no harm ment. As I agree they aren't, was all in good fun. :o

Re: Vicksburg Victuals

Babyface,
I was kidding. You know who is handling rations.

Obi Wan Natchez Springwater,

As a mere bayou tavern back room Padawan, I was merely drying the dishes with Steve the Quiet Man, Joe the Carthagenian, assorted helpers, gapers, and onlookers. Many of those dishes and glasses were well lubricated courtesy of the washwater (there was no rinse cycle), and will not require another good greasing for at least 3,000 meals or miles, whichever comes first.

Maybe it is high time to post a little Vicksburg campaign vittles research on this thread beyond, "boss, this bacon sho' am heavy totin' it up this heah bluff."
