We ask you, urgently: don’t scroll past this
Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.Help Now >
Remember the 1940s? Museum seeks WWII food stories
FREE Catholic Classes
St. Louis Post-Dispatch (MCT) - The National World War II Museum in New Orleans wants your memories about food and rationing during the war. If you're too young, they hope you'll interview a friend or relative who was around then. The resulting oral histories will be compiled and presented on the museum's Web site.

As the Web site explains:
Many of our strongest memories are centered on food: meals we have loved, meals we have hated, special gatherings or everyday routines with relatives and friends, triumphs and disasters in the kitchen. Now add to the mix the emotions, fears, excitement, and challenges of the Home Front and you've got some of the strongest memories of the WWII generation. The National WWII Museum invites you to share these stories.
If you're not sure where to start, the museum has a list of sample questions:
What do you remember about food rationing during the war?
Do you remember using substitutes for unavailable ingredients?
Did you or anyone you know shop on the "black market"?
Did you grow a Victory garden?
What about holiday meals?
What about working or eating in local restaurants?
What was your greatest food challenge during the war?
What was your favorite food during the war?
What was your least favorite?
Do you remember any unique recipes (triumphs or disasters) that came out of your Home Front kitchen?
To add your memories, go to: http://www.nationalww2museum.org/calendar/kitchen-memories.html.
