Thriftlady's wartime experiment

Thank you Thriftlady for this thread. The recipes that I have tried have been fab. The hot water pastry pork pie is brilliant and huge (8 decent portions). Congratulations on the POM.

Congratulations Thriftlady.

And many many thanks for this thread. Its been keeping me going for the past howeverlong, and I'll be really sorry when it inevitably fades out.

Well done also on your living the experiment. I've tried it on and off, but never sustained it like you have.

But you should be on the whalemeat stage of things by now, shouldn't you???? That seems to have come in after the war when things were still very tight.

Whalemeat again, don't know where, don't know when, but I know whalemeat again some sunny day... do they have it at Tesco ?

Sandy2 what shall I tackle next ? :think: maybe only home produced foods. That's something I've been thinking about, but I think it would be really hard to do without spices, tea, coffee and chocolate. You can get English wine though -thank goodness and plenty of beer and cider.

Or, as my mil suggested, what about doing without the fridge for a couple of weeks, which is what I should have done during my wartime experiment to be authentic.

Or, maybe we'll just eat whatever we like provided it is real food of course
