A good book to get a real taste of what it was like to be rationed during the war, how to survive in scarcity and emergency, and how to do it with humor as well as just good common sense.
This recipe did give me pause:

Aunt Gwen's Cold Shape (!)
1 calf head, quartered
salt, pepper, bay, herbs as desired
1/2 cup lemon juice
or
1 cup dry wine

The recipe does call for removing the eyes, ears, snout, and brains. Thank heavens.

More of a historical document than a cookbook.
