The government released a whole pile of food related PSAs at the time, telling people about substitutions they could make, thrifty ways to stretch rations further or clever recipes that used food they could get easily in place of using imports.
The "Ministry of Food" put in a ton of work. I've got a cookbook that recreates a lot of their material. It's very carrot-heavy!
I have checked all my shit in, bestickered my suitcase and scooter, and made it through security. They are satisfied my crutches do not contain a bomb
Sadly, the carrot thing is a myth. Deliberately spread by the British government during the war, no less, as an explanation for why they could track German bombers in the dark without letting on that they'd invented radar.
Carrots were one of the few foods it was easy to get lots of. Many fascinating recipes for carroty marmalade!
I wanted to get as far away as possible from the bullshit that's been driving me mad. Perth is As Far Away As Possible
Perth, but the vibe is there
Today's the day!
Holiday!
I am ready for my holiday. Can I go now?
I've procrastinated enough. I fly out Tuesday, I really do need to pack my bag
God, I could go one of those
Made it home from footy. Wet through, but on the bright side I have Mongolian beef and a donut
Yeah, but I'm a cripple who can't drive. It's a tad more complex when you're me
