Theme night....
On Sunday we're having World War Two theme evening. I love cooking, so it's a chance to show my versatility in the kitchen. We quite often invite friends and family around for authentic food, drink and music from the era.
In the morning, I'm going to tape up the windows, iron my Spiv outfit, and sort out my CD of news reports from the war years.
Does anyone here do such bizzare things?

Nope - powdered eggs, mock ice-cream, sausagemeat tarts, and SPAM-alot. Stuff like that.

Usually joints of meat was very restricted due to rationing. Most people kept rabbits and chickens - and their own allotment.
Yea i know about the rationing, thats why i said about the dripping, why have the dripping if theres plenty of meat.
And of course, if you don't eat yer meat...

You mean cows and pigs were only invented after the war? You learn something new every day on these forums...

Really....
Andrew are you back in blighty yet?
Thats why i thought it strange when you mentioned that dripping came from pork and beef, i was just trying to get into the whole war,era thing, but something must have got lost in the translation, lets face it we all know pigs and cows were invented in 1938.

I'm sure I read recently that pigs and cows were invented in 35, surely....
