>As far as I can remerber. We were obsessed by the dreams of food. I don't
think we ever went really hungry, but we had little meat, practically no
butter, a glas of blue watery milk from milkpowder. An egg now and then,
sticky bread, but lots of papatoes, patatoes. One of the great joys of the
liberation was food. Nice yellow butter, divine corned beef given by the
Canadian soldiers, snow white bread, and... chocolate and chewing gum. As
kids we were always around the soldiers hoping for a crust of white bread of
a piece of chocolate.  Kees Vanderheyden. Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Canada
