Welcome to Episode 5's supplemental content! And can I say - take a look at that newspaper full spread page!! When I found this, it nearly knocked my socks off. All the information found within is amazing, but what got me really excited are the pictures, especially the image showing what will be allowed per person per year. That information is very hard to come by in American rationing research!
I really love this meat rationing poster below. It's a great visual demonstration showing where all the meat has gone! A big thank you to the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula in Montana for allowing me to use their image of this fantastic poster.

RECIPES
I love these wartime meat saving tips from the Betty Crocker cookbook Your Share, 1943.
Here are a few, yummy variations on the wartime meat-saver idea of a "meat pinwheel" or "meat roll."
