You are right Sylvia about the meat being cut when cold.The brisket my mum pot roasted used to be put in a basin with a saucer and weight on top and pressed. |

One way to stretch the meat ration if you managed to get a piece to roast was to not eat it hot. |

Mum used to buy a dozen day old chicks at Easter time and rear them in a chicken coup in the back garden. About 7 would survive and we would get eggs from them and the Christmas dinner for us and her brother,s family next door. Dad had the awful task of killing 4 of em for Xmas he would hang them on a nail outside the back door to let them drip !! We had an outside lavvy by so when you went out the door to round to it you gave the wall a wide birth in case you made contact with em |

My OH says that nothing ever went to waste - it was all precious. Quite a lot had to be queued for because of the shortages. |

saw lots of Yanks but I was far too young - we had them camped the length of our road - had to pass them going to and from school every day - they were extremely kind to us |
