Compo Memories
I recall being detached to Scampton (in the days of the great triangles) and the troop's mess had a "Get-Rid-Of-All-The-Nearly-Out-Of-Date-Compo" day in that the entire lunch consisted of compo.
One of our number hated the stuff and made his feelings well known and then spied a life saver at the end of the servery - to whit an oriental dish.
Said person joins us at the table and digs in.."I don't effin' believe it...sweet and sour compo sausage!"
Another first for the caterers.
