Haha it’s funny how traditions evolve. When Oli and I first gamed we had French cider and some florentine biscuits in honour of the forces on the table in that particular game and then repeated for every game since. It almost feels wrong not to have cider now though the home made stuff was also suitable as a biofuel !
Tudor soldiers had a daily ration of 12 pints of beer so it’s almost historical. It makes perfect sense I think, hic
