   “First mind you steer clear o’ the grog-sellers’ huts,
   For they sell you Fixed Bay’nets that rots out your guts –
   Ay, drink that ‘ud eat the live steel from your butts – ”
   – Kipling, “The Young British Soldier”
   It doesn’t sound as if he’s referring to chicken boiled in rum, but who knows?
