Lanny has chosen this week's Headbanger Challenge, and has gone for 'Make Do'; something that probably happens a lot on a farm. During World War II, 'make do and mend' was a rallying cry to everyone in England, as people did what they could for their country. There was no waste. Old paper, metal, food etc was recycled for the war effort. Gardens were dug up for growing food. There was food rationing of course, but somehow nobody starved, and everyone seemed a lot healthier than they do today. Maybe because there was no processed junk foods, fast food outlets (except for fish and chips) and less choice.
At the Brewhouse Museum they have an area decked out like an air raid shelter, and one the wall are all these posters promoting and reminding people what they can do to help the country win.
Don't forget to visit all the other gang members to see how they have interpreted the theme.
By comparison, today's blog picture features fast food, albeit a healthy one. Ostrich meat is a fairly recent introduction into people's diets. I've tried ostrich meat sausages and burgers. Not from this new cafe though, but from a farmers market that appears in the square once a month, and very nice they are too. Full of flavour, without all the nasty fats that usual red meat contains.
Nicely done my friend.
ReplyDeleteSee you got a Victory Farm poster in your collection, sim to the one I had ,lol.
Ostrich is just too angry of a bird for me to desire to eat. I like my meat to be of more docile origins, it calms me.
ReplyDeleteComplete with bunting! Good array of posters.
ReplyDeleteI like ostrich too, angry or not its still nice to eat.
GM: Very intersting collecion of wall hangings. I've never eaten ostrich.
ReplyDeleteWe saw quite a few ostrich farms in NZ ten years ago but didn't taste any there - shortly after we got home we bought some from a farmer's market in Holmfirth but found it rather bland. Maybe it is time we tried it again although I don't know of any butchers around here that sells it. Now I've said that I'll probably find several in the next few weeks!
