doyler Posted September 15, 2018 Share #2 Posted September 15, 2018 you tube may your friend. At one time there were some videos of rations or home front reciepes for rationing. Some of the reenactor boards have areas where they had rations made for use etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustin Posted September 16, 2018 Share #3 Posted September 16, 2018 I have that stuff or at least the list of ingredients, but the problem is you have no idea the ratio's. Even if there were it would be for very large batches, industrial scale stuff. If your trying to recreate WWII rations by the original ingredients, I'm not sure how possible that would be. If you are familiar with baking at all, just the slightest alteration could spell disaster in the final product. Plus, you don't know temperatures, duration of cook time, some ingredients need to be pre-mixed and cooked etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it interesting that they are talking in terms of millions of pounds weight ?????? . . . . . phenomenal amounts Hopefully it may be of interest to yourself or other members. Lewis. .

lettow Posted September 17, 2018 Share #7 Posted September 17, 2018 Are you looking for homefront recipes based on ration requirements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary91 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted September 19, 2018 I'm more looking for what went into the actually rations, now that I think about it I believe I have a components list for the k ration's, and o have since found the components and "parts" for the k1, k2, and C- square biscuits. I ended up making a batch of the c-square biscuits came out really well, except they were too thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
