Tex's Proper Beer-Battered Fish & Chips with Mushy Peas 🐠🍟 Tex's Proper Beer-Battered Fish & Chips with Mushy Peas 🐠🍟
Fish and potatoes were two of the few items that weren't rationed during WWII, and rationing didn't end in Britain until the mid-1950s. Consequently, fish and chips, which before the war had been seen as just a working-class food, made its way upscale to become a food that all Britons ate. Your local chippy could also sell you meat pies, as they were not rationed either, though the meat in them was more likely to be Spam than anything else.

Tex's Mam's Scalloped Potatoes 🐷🍲 Tex's Mam's Scalloped Potatoes 🐷🍲
I've been eating these since I was a child in the 1960s and my sisters since the late 1940s.My mam and dad were married during WWII when food was rationed in Britain. Potatoes and onions weren't rationed, however meat was, but fortunately my dad made an arrangement with a local farmer to keep a few pigs at his farm. With the addition of a little water and some stock cubes, this little beauty is what Mam came up with. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. -
