I found another version of WW2 mince slices, this time from “The Kitchen Front – 122 Wartime Recipes” 1942 booklet. Many of the recipes in this booklet were broadcast during the “Kitchen Front” radio programme during WW2 here in Great Britain.
This is such a quick, frugal and tasty recipe. I used Asda’s vegan mince, and browned it in a pan with some margarine before adding it to the mashed potato and breadcrumbs.
It made two meals for me but I think you could stretch it for 3 servings/meals if you served it up with lots of vegetables and extra carbohydrates.
Ingredients
- 3 oz mince (any cooked meat or browned vegan mince)
- 4 oz mashed potato
- 4 oz stale breadcrumbs
- salt and pepper
- any fat for frying
Method
- Mix well together the mince, mashed potato, breadcrumbs and seasoning.
- Turn out on a floured board and roll out into an oblong 1/4 inch thick
- Cut into slices and fry in a small quantity of hot fat from your ration until browned
Makes 4-6 slices. Serves 2-3
Glad to see you back again – I’ve missed your posts.
Quite like the sound of that. They look very burger like. I wonder if, instead of rolling them flat, you formed a giant sausage, then cut disks out and formed patties. It should cook the same.
Wendy and I are heading back to the White Horse Wollaston on 31st Oct, this year, before heading down to Southampton on the 1st Nov
