      You hate peas, I cannot go near seafood. Even pre vego.
      I buy tinned sardines in oil, for the cats. They suck up every drop of oil, but ignore the fish. They used to leave the fish for my dog, who was always tragically grateful. They used to despise her.

    Please don't apologise for the long video. I and I also think some others love the long video format. I'm still very glad I found your channel. Keep on going. I don't particularly like peas as well but I don't despise them as much as you do. Maybe this might be of interest for you: We have a dish one could kind of translate as a hash. It's made with rice, mincemeat (or ground meat or whatever the correct translation might be) and different vegetables. We often use peas, carrots and sweet corn and sometimes also bell peppers. I'd personally say the peas are not a dominant taste in there maybe they're even masked enough by the other flavours (you might not use too many maybe less then someone would normally put in there). Of course I don't know if that would be good enough for you and you would taste them as everyone is different. Anyways I keep looking forward to the next episode.

    Gidday Jake. I personally love peas, especially split green peas in a soup.
    I can relate to having personal revulsion’s to food. Mine are coriander, chokoes, mutton.
    My adult daughter had her own aversions. She loved peas and broccoli, but didn’t like mushrooms, raw tomatoes or cucumber.
    She likes sweet mustard pickles but not burger pickles.
    As an adult, she set a very good example for her children. She tried the foods she didn’t like.
    She now loves tomatoes and cucumbers, but still cannot like mushrooms. I praised her for setting the good example for the kids.
    As a kid, I could not stomach the thought of raw oysters or offal meat.
    These days, I eat smoked oysters, chicken pate and ox tail stew (one of my daughter’s fave meals).
    Tastebuds do change as we get older. It is important to keep an open mind and be willing to try ethnic dishes too.
    I hate the taste of anchovies but I eat Worcestershire sauce, I hate coriander but eat curries, etc.

      Slippery elm bark, sometimes a rough powder, or normal powder, , is FANTASTIC as a tummy settler. Safe for cats, dogs, horses, people. Excellent for the old 'dire rear.'
      If you take tablets daily, take the slippery elm as far away from the tablets, as possible - 12 hours after/before.
      Check dosages for everything.

Then I checked for dogs, then cats, then me. If you have a gyppy tummy, I find by next day, I feel okay, and I only take a traspoon of it. I think it actually blankets your tummy, so there is a barrier between lining and upsetting thing. But that is why you want to keep it away from when you take needed tablets.

    That was hilarious. I'm sorry you don't like peas. I love them, especially in winter for a little pop of freshness in a Woolton Pie or a stew, but then I hate cilantro, which the rest of the world thinks is ambrosia. My takeaway from this episode is, if you've got expensive ingredients, make them into soup. You just get so much more food for your money if you eke it out with cheap stuff like potatoes. Or water.

    You are definitely living the dilemma of wartime rationing. Make a few nice things and live off of oatmeal, bread without butter and vegetables for the rest of the week. However, most households had several people in them so several rations worth of marg and milk. The single people had it the hardest. The leftover filling looks like it would be perfect for a shepherd s pie base.

That being said, I usually have enough fats left over and definitely would if I used lard instead of olive oil (I never get through 4 oz of olive oil) but the milk ration still hurts me!

A single leek is $1.99. The leeks cost $12.36 cad for 10 ( $13.76 aud at today's exchange rate). Have just started watching your videos and have fun each time i watch one.

    I love, love, love peas ... except for the mushy demons from hell. 🤢 But we had a Border Collie (sheep dog) who hated peas as much as you do. When she ate her favourite dried dog food which, unfortunately, had little green pieces designed to look like peas in it, she would lift all the little green intruders from her dish and line them all up on the floor near the back door. Luckily we had a little terrier that loved to think she was stealing her big sisters food and would surreptitiously take one from the end of the line every time she passed by until there were none left. It kept them both happy. 😄

    We're over in Victoria's Antarctic left nipple (Ballarat) and I agree with it being so icy!! Will you try a little bit of 'victory' gardening as spring rolls around?
    I grow herbs on a window sill in the bottoms of milk bottles just to have something fresh on hand. Bush green beans only grow about 20-30cm tall, spring onions will re-grow in a glass of water if they have the roots and carrot tops in a saucer of water will re-grow a little of their green tops which is good for pesto too

      I love Ballarat! I almost bought there but was priced out during the pandemic as it seemed everyone in Melbourne had the same idea of leaving so house prices went through the roof in Ballarat, just as I was preparing to buy. That being said, I ended up getting a great deal on my apartment in the city so I can’t complain. One day though, may end up out that way. Unfortunately I have no room to grow my own, would love to though!

    Hope you did not toss the pea soup. Add potato, carrot, chick peas, roast pumpkin. (Flavour so much stronger...) Maybe a tiny bit of bacon or veg substitute. If you are trying to stick to rationing misery, you might only get one onion in a year, so can't add another. So lovely and warming! Oh - and barley! Great for that caramelising meat flavour - that vague umami flavour.
    I would love some of that soup now. But it is cold and I don't want to get out of bed. I could microwave something for 2 minutes, but my feet are voting to stay in bed... Just imagine having to go up on the roof, and fire watch, for four hours!

    There was a time when I had that incantation memorized! 😂Another fabulous video! I think perhaps the undisclosed amount of mushrooms and the peeling of them was because in those days most people would have foraged them? Just a thought. I loved the comparison of the two fish recipes! When I made it, I did so without egg (husband's egg allergy, though perhaps I used EnerGee egg substitute) and I did not use potato. I want to try it now with potato for the flakiness and also to try it breaded! You asked the price of leeks where we are. We think this expensive, but we pay $3.97USD for three leeks and that is the price whether they are large or small, so I wait until they are as large as the two monsters you found, and then I split them all, wash, and chop both the whites and most of the green together, only discarding the green parts that seem leathery for the stock bag. This does mean that my leek and potato soup is a bit greener, but it tastes the same and it stretches the leeks. Whatever I don't use of chopped leek from the bunch of three that day I put into a bag for the freezer to call upon as I need it for recipes. We could not possibly eat three large leeks in a week without getting leek-brain, or brain leak? So. this has become my new routine. I do not know how you managed to eat peas for a week!

    I think it would be interesting to see you make the wartime mock ‘meats’ but use them in modern recipes that still fit the spirit of rationing, so anything vegetable heavy. It would be interesting to see if the mock meats hold up to recipes outside the very specific window in which they were created. Might be something to visit when you’re off your year of strict rationing, since you’ve mentioned wanting to revisit some of the recipes.
    I’d do it myself but I’m in the middle of a huge ‘purge my crap and get everything organized project’ 😂 I can barely feed myself with no restrictions right now due to being so busy with that and 2 jobs.

      @@PerilousRainbow That’s definitely something I’d love to explore next year (2025 will be here before we know it!). I can definitely relate - working two jobs and trying to film/edit videos has literally sucked every minute of free time I have available these days. I guess it’s lucky I film what I cook, otherwise I’d be going hungry! Good luck with your purging project! You got this 💪

      @@thekitchenscrap thanks! I’ve already made big progress but it feels like a lot to go yet. I’ll be so happy when this is done and I can try and do rationing mixed with modern meals to try and get my diet sorted out for my health issues. It’s not too bad atm but the whole ‘having to make as much from scratch as possible’ is rough at times.
