Yes - you should find a shop in Portsmouth or Southampton or Chichester with the name "Past Times". They sell two books that will be exactly what you are looking for. "We'll Eat Again" is a collection of wartime recipes, and there is a similar book by the same author called "The After-war years". The wartime ones will challenge your buying skills; not much chance of buying whalemeat steaks or snoek (barracuda) in these enlightened times! For dried egg powder, however, you might try Holland and Barrett or look up 'catering supplies' in your yellow pages, and you can still buy swede (rutabaga) in your local shops. Good luck - sounds like fun! =================== Tom Holloway tom.holloway@u3a.org.uk Tel: (+44) (0) 1926-771772 Fax: (+44) (0) 1926-771707
