Mrs. T and Her Cabbage Patch
Poetic tribute to Mrs Turner's vegetable growing prowess, plus the delights of 'wartime steaks'.
A poetic tribute to Mrs Turner's vegetable growing prowess opens this public information filler. Much of Mrs T's surplus produce is put to good use in the kitchen of the local community restaurant - which makes use of the latest electrical labour-saving appliances. The wartime menu is less than ringingly endorsed by Mrs T: "If you're hungry enough it makes your mouth water." Still, the fresh vegetables are nutritious and used in some ingenious recipes, such as "wartime steaks" comprising minced beef, carrot, herbs, onions and breadcrumbs.
Emphasis is laid on the importance of fresh vegetables, and of cleanliness in
canteen cooking.
