Taken from Ration Books and Rabbit Pies: Films from the Home Front DVD collection from BFI. Strange film about a very English addiction which starts off as pretentious twaddle but becomes more interesting when it starts giving practical advice for untrained staff running emergency canteens and wagons for bombed-out victims, soldiers and emergency services. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnvYymrCn4g Only one entry to post. If anyone's interested this DVD has some very strange public information films about wartime food and cooking - the most bizarre so far is "Cookery Hints: Oatmeal Porridge" but I can't find a link to post. But there's Mrs T and her Cabbage Patch, Two Cooks and a Cabbage, and Potatoes as examples of this thrilling genre. |

One thing we very rarely had at home was rabbit meals of any sort. Apparently my grandfather and his twelve bore kept mother and her siblings fed throughout WW2, and mother said she had eaten enough rabbit pies for a lifetime! |

Best film title found so far on this DVD ... but calm down everyone - it's an incredibly tedious film about keep fit exercises .... |
