Food Fit for Heroes

on BBC Radio 4 FM

The last of three programmes in which culinary challenges are issued to the armed forces. The Battle of Britain. Dylan Winter challenges the Royal Air Force to prepare the kind of dinner that might have been served to pilots who saved Britain in the summer of 1940. At the catering school at RAF Halton, Buckinghamshire, Flt Lt Dennis Worsfold and Cpl Alan Marsh wrestle with the problems of making chocolate pudding out of potato and powdered egg, and preparing a filling meat pie with only two ounces of stewing steak per person. They are assisted by Air Chief Marshall Sir Christopher Foxley-Norris and the advice of cookery expert Marguerite Patten. Producer Peter Everett
