Wartime Recipes

03/10/2008 by Nikita

I was given this book quite a time ago and it was also one of the …27 drafts! on my blog…so 26 more to go! Sometimes, when I want to blog about something…but later… you know sometimes you want to do something…but then you say in your head…”later”…not now…ok, now you know what I’m talking about…Langenhoven – a wise “King Solomon” of South Africa…(see some of his quotes on the side bar of my blog)…used to say…and I translate…”the lazy person/sluggard’s day of work is ‘tomorrow’ “ – (Die luiaard se werksdag is “môre”!)..That means…I was too lazy to blog it immediately…lol! not really, I was only busy with something I found more enjoyable/interesting to blog…I usually save stuff on draft and there it waits…for one rainy day! So, having some rainy weather here now…also some quite cold weather, much colder than last week…here’s today’s draft no 12 for you…. A collection of recipes from WWII. I’ve thought to share a few recipes from this cute little book! I do hope you find it “interesting” too! Click and zoom in on the images to have a larger view and print them off!

Nee o aarde ek weet darem nie of ek Skaap harte sal eet nie, oorlog of nie! 😆

Nikita ek het ook so vreeslike ou resepte boek van my ouma, ek is baie heilig oor hom. Die blaaie is al lelik en stukkend. Opgebruik!
Ek dink ek moet hom bietjie gaan uitgrou!

🙂 hi Wipneus… ja nee, ek stem saam, maar ek dink as mens in daardie tye geleef het, het jy dit geeet! Ek wens ek kon my ouma-grootjie se resepteboek nou hier gehad het!! Nog gedeeltes in Nederlands geskryf! en ander net-net Afrikaans…so ‘n mengelmoes van Afrikaans/Hollands/Engels…en alles in haar eie handskrif met boererate van daardie tyd ook…

Baie interressant, ek is deesdae gefasineerd met WWl en WWll geskiedenis.

hi eilandkind.. ek is ook vir ‘n paar jaar gefasineerd met die geskiedenis, maar meer oor WWII… eintlik vanaf skooldae-se geskiedenis-dae is ek meer erg oor WWII as WWI…miskien het dit begin toe ek as 11/12jarige die Anne Frank boek by my een sussie as geskenk gekry het.

  hi Jessica, Welcome to my blog. If you click on the images, you can clearly see what they are about…the recipe has a title/name. 🙂 …that’s what I said in the post too.

hi candypup
Welcome to my blog. It is my mother tongue! Afrikaans is a language, the youngest language in the world. Afrikaans developed from the Dutch language and it is very similar to the Flemish Language too. I’m quite sure you are familiar with languages of the world, you may want to read more about the Afrikaans language – or even the Dutch language – all Germanic languages — have a look at this link…

Truly enjoyed looking through your recipes and other information. Lived here in USA for forty years and still
long for some good old SA dishes. I do have several
cook books but the family don’t seem to enjoy the
dishes and deserts I grew up with. I am going to try the
“pap tert”, that sounds great. Keep up the good work and
hopefully I’ll be back in South Africa for a long visit in 2012.

Groete

hi Gael, Welcome to my blog! [Welkom hier op my blog]. I’m glad you enjoyed what you found here. Pity your family doesn’t enjoy the dishes as much as you wanted. The “pap tert” is really delicious. Enjoy your visit to SA in 2012! Groete aan jou ook!

No man ever steps in the same river twice-
Heraclitus
There is nothing more frightening than active ignorance. - Goethe
Churchill described his impressions of the Boer army when he first saw it, as a recently taken captive: 'What men they were, these Boers! I thought of them as I had seen them in the morning riding forward through the rain--thousands of independent riflemen, thinking for themselves, possessed of beautiful weapons, led with skill, living as they rode without commissariat or transport or ammunition column, moving like the wind, and supported by iron constitutions'.

Anand vs Carlsen Chennai 2013

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.-Abraham Lincoln
Spoken by great men:"Give me 20 divisions of American soldiers and I will breach Europe. Give me 15 consisting of Englishmen and I will advance to the borders of Berlin. Give me two divisions of those marvellous fighting Boers and I will remove Germany from the face of the earth." - Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery, Commander of the Allied Forces during WW2.

"The Americans fight for a free world, the English mostly for honor, glory and medals, the French and Canadians decide too late that they have to participate. The Italians are too scared to fight, the Russians have no choice. The Germans for their Fatherland. The Boers? Those sons of Bitches fight for the hell of it." Amercan General, George 'Guts and Glory' Patton.

A nation that forgets its past has no future - Winston Churchill
He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool. Shun him. He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is a child. Teach him. He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep. Wake him. He who knows, and knows that he knows, is a leader. Follow him.

In Renaissance Europe chess was part of the education of the nobility and was proclaimed the “Royal Game.” In 1732 Benjamin Franklin wrote an essay, The Morals Of Chess, in which he said “The game of chess is not merely an idle amusement; several very valuable qualties of the mind useful in the course of human life are to be acquired and strengthened by it....”

Education is the apprenticeship of life -Robert Willmot

Chess Grandmaster -Vassily Ivanchuk says:
"And do you like playing chess against women?
I wouldn’t say I do particularly, but I also wouldn’t say I don’t like it. In general, I try not to make an exception out of games against women. In chess, female logic differs little from male logic, which you can see just by analysing games. After all, the strongest female players work with men in one way or another. I don’t know what the female style of play is. Or more precisely, I don’t see any difference when compared to male play. In everyday life I also don’t divide people into men and women. For me, personal qualities, mentality and upbringing are the important things when spending time with people."

A people are what its women are. The woman is the conscience of her nation as well as the measure of its values. The moral life of a nation is controlled by the women and by the women can we measure the moral condition of the people. - Postma

Jou beeld is 'n verflenterde foto in 'n skewe, versplinterde raam en 'n sestal geskommelde letters spel jou tweelettergrepige naam Jou woorde is dor manuskripte vir die motte bewaar op die rak en ons dae 'n kralesnoer syfers op 'n outydse muuralmanak. - Koos du Plessis
Love means nothing in tennis, but it's everything in life.
Einstein:Chess grips its exponent, shackling the mind and brain so that the inner freedom and independence of even the strongest character cannot remain unaffected.

Die woord 'skaak' kom van die Persiese woord 'sjah', wat koning beteken. Ook die woord 'mat' is Persies en beteken 'dood'.

If chess is a science, it's a most inexact one. If chess is an art, it's too exacting to be seen as one. If chess is a sport, it's too esoteric. If chess is a game, it's too demanding to be just a game. If chess is a mistress, she's a demanding one. If chess is a passion, it's a rewarding one.
If chess is life, it's a sad one-Unknown

Don't Quit
by: Unknown Author

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

"Vrome vaa'dre,fier en groot!
Deur vervolging, ramp en nood
was hul leuse, tot die dood:
Vrijheid, Vrijheid!
Op dan broers, en druk hul spoor,
voorwaarts, broers, die Vierkleur voor
laat die veld ons krijgsroep hoor:
Vrijheid, Vrijheid!"
Jan FE Celliers

'He who knows not and knows not he knows not, is a fool, shun him. He who knows not and knows he knows not, is simple, teach him. He who knows and knows not that he knows, is asleep, wake him. He who knows and knows that he knows, is a leader/wise - follow him.' -
