Four World War II Recipes that were published in a magazine in the UK
 recently that I thought people might be interested in.

  The beauty of this wartime pie from South London is that it is
  unbelievably easy and foolproof, provides a delicious meal from
  whatever is in the cupboard and can be used for either a main course
  or pudding.
  Method:
  Preheat oven to Gas Mark 5, 375F, 190C. In a large bowl beat together
  the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt and margarine. Stir in the
  chosen filling to make either a sweet or savoury pie.
  Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 10-inch pie plate and bake in
  a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until set.

   Another WW2 Recipe and still a great favourite today.

   sausages. In a baking dish put a layer of potatoes, a layer of
   onions and a layer of sausage. Season to taste and sprinkle over
   half the herbs.

   ending with a layer of potatoes. Sprinkle on the rest of the herbs.
   Dissolve the stock cubes in 1 pint (600ml) of hot water and pour
   into the baking dish. Bake in a medium oven, gas mark 4, 350F, 180C
   for 40 Minutes. Serve with crisp green cabbage.

       Title: False Fish
  Categories: Vegetarian
       Yield: 4 servings
       7 oz Short Grain Rice
       7 oz Red Lentils
       1    Garlic, Clove, Chopped
       1    Onion, Chopped
       3 T  Herbs of your choice
            Salt
       1    Egg, Beaten
       4 oz Fresh Breadcrumbs
            Oil for Frying
   False fish has no more to do with fish than Mock Goose with goose,
   but it is a wondefully inventive dish that resembles fried fish
   steaks.
   Method:
   Boil the rice until cooked - about 20 minutes.
   Meanwhile, cook the lentils, garlic and onion together in as little
   water as possible. As soon as the rice and lentils are just cooked,
   drain them, then stir them together adding the herbs and salt.
   Press the mixture into a 2 pint (1.2 litre) pudding basin. Fit a
   Saucer into the basin on top of the mixture, weight it down - a
   couple of tins will do nicely - and leave it overnight. The
   following day, remove the mixture and cut into slices. Coat the
   slices with egg, then breadcrumbs and fry until golden. Serve
   with fresh vegetables and parsley sauce.

       Title: Mock Goose
  Categories: Vegetarian
       Yield: 4 servings
       1 lb Potatoes, Diced
       1 lb Cooking Apples, Diced
       1 lb Onions, Diced
       9 oz Cheese, Diced
       2 T  Chopped Fresh Sage
            Salt and Pepper
       4 oz Sage and Onion Stuffing Mix
       2 oz Cheese, Grated
   In Spite of it's name, Mock Goose is a Vegetarian dish, with the
   added wartime virtue that most of the ingredients could be grown.
   Method:
   Pre-heat oven to gas mark 5, 375F, 190C. Toss the potatoes, apples,
   onions, cheese and sage together, seasoning with salt and pepper
   until they are well mixed. Turn the mixture into a large buttered
   ovenproof dish and cover with a lid of buttered foil or greaseproof
   paper.
   Bake for about 30 minutes until the fruit and vegetables are really
   tender. Meanwhile mix together the topping ingredients (Stuffing Mix
   and Grated Cheese).
   At the end of the cooking time uncover the dish, sprinkle the topping
   liberally over the dish and return to the oven, raising the
   temperature to gas mark 9, 475F, 240C for 10 more minutes or until
   just nicely browned.
   Serve with a mixed green salad and plenty of crusty, wholemeal
   bread.
