Recipes in event of Republican takeover.

13. Same here.

I still have a cookbook (more like a pamphlet) called Wartime Cookbook which talks about how to use your ration coupons to get the most out of them. I also have my mother's Betty Crocker which I used extensively as a young wife and mother. Looking through these recipes posted here I find that I'm familiar with a lot of them. My parents refused to eat or buy Spam though, thank goodness. My mother was German so we ate a lot of potatoes in all forms. We were a family of seven children and two parent, so nine mouths to feed every single day for three meals a day. I just can't imagine my poor mother trying to stretch what little money we had to feed all of us. We were relatively poor and I remember being hungry and it being towards the end of the week (she always shopped on Saturday for an entire week's groceries) and having to fill up on whatever we could find in the almost empty cupboard. Fried egg sandwiches, fried bologna sandwiches, lots of her canned stewed tomatoes in the winter time. I remember being hungry often.
