"Dog Stew"

"Dog stew"
 I took the opportunity at the lunch on 21 November to try and get some more copy for the magazine. Another Simon Hocombe contribution was what was known as “dog stew”. This was a war time stew of what was probably the less appetizing bits of lamb. To be fair to the Whickers feeding a load of hungry boys against a background of war time rationing must have been a real struggle. Nikolai Tolstoy certainly made the comment that he did not find himself hungry until he went on to Wellington.
