Wartime rationing required a lot of ingenuity to create meals on limited pantry items. Housewives of the time developed meals that might not be ‘gourmet’ but were tasty and filling and fit within the rationing.
Real Vintage Dolls House posted a 1940s Christmas Dinner video several months ago that turned out better than Hannah or many of her viewers thought it would.
I have to say I am curious. As one who is not a huge turkey eater, not to mention I love stuffing, this alternative has all the ingredients to make a nice change of pace. And did we mention how budget friendly it is?
If you are looking for a recipe, I found THIS one over on Celebrations In Wartime. It sounds like the one Hannah made.
As for the carrot fudge… I’ll pass. But those roasted spuds I will have to try.
What do you think? Are you curious enough to give it a try?
