Not sure where that is from but no adult could survive on that per week for very long and work. My folks were adults and they said it was hard but I do not recall them ever saying that had such miniscule amounts of meat, sugar, flour, bread, etc. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I just googled rationing during ww2 and copied the first picture I saw. was meant for the humor effect not accuracy. I questioned the accuracy when I saw 2 - 3 pints of milk -- which is it, two or three? You'd think that if the government was rationing, they'd be more specific. but then maybe not ... 3 minutes ago, Mallette said: Not sure where that is from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have soft boiled eggs at least twice a week and they turn out absolutely perfect every time. Of course, scramble is about the level of boiling water. Perfect basted fried eggs is a bit of an art, but once you get there it's automatic and failure is very rare. Rarely do poached and some of the lesser used methods but none require a great deal of effort.

Good thing you aren't in Texas. Any Texan who can't make credible Texas Red or BBQ brisket is at risk for pickup by Texas ICE for immediate deportation to some culinary area they fit in, like Rhode Island.

BigStewMan Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 for not being a cook, you'd think I wouldn't be picky; but, I'm not scrambled egg guy ... over easy. I like omelets which start off as scrambled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can sense your blood boiling from here. I've been told that I have two problems in regards to cooking ... (1) too much experimentation, and (2) heat is always on full blast.

Dave And it is so hard to slap some fish on a bun? hell, Rhode island can do that. Cubans are better in PR. Black beans are the worst bean of all the beans, and I like beans. Just not in my chlli, goes without saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
