 For those of you who miss that GREAT Army cooking:  http://www.qmfound.com/army_subsistence_history.htm  might whet your appetite.  It's a series of links on the history of Army chow. Pay attention.

To tell the truth, I was looking for information on the great American potato peeler which each mess halls was so thoughtfully equipped.  Simply add 50# of raw unpeeled potatoes, turn on the water, flip the switch, and presto, results are 10 # of semi-pealed potatoes! Remember?
Bon Appetite!

I remember the potato peeler on KP a cook told me and another KP to crack eggs for breakfast he said he was going to scramble them we dumped a few dozen in the potato peeler and turned it on. A few dozen in nothing out

I remember the 504th's potato peeling machines. We were never allowed to use them on KP. It would have been too logical - better to have the KPers slave away at peeling the spuds.

Man do I remember those potatoe peelers.  One time while at Graf my buddy and I got KP so we put in a bag of potatoes and they came out looking like the ones you can buy in the can.  We laughed for hours over that one.
