{Wartime Recipe} Potato Floddies

Someone asked what these were, sorry cant find the comment now to say who  :( but here you are.....

A kind of potato Cake Floodies are to have originated from canal workers who cooked them on a shovel over the fire!

Grate a raw potato into a bowl , you can also add grated carrot. Sprinkle with flour and add household milk (milk made from powder) or milk from rationsuntil a batter is made. Spoon into a hot frying pan and cook until golden turning halfway through.

These can then be served warm with sugar for a sweet snack or as they are for a belly-warming elevenses!!

Day 5

We're surrounded by snow today so have turned to more warming comfort food.

Apparently its a bit of a myth that in ww2 they wouldn't have curries. They were just drier and more authentic than the ones we have in Britain today. I've tried to include a few more warming snacks to help hubby feel more satisfied - Potato Floddies seem to have done the trick!

 I've put these days together as it was a weekend! Its all getting a bit harder now so I did a crumbleon Sunday to boost our spirits! The weekends seem alot tougher, everyone is moaning too - but we're sticking at it. We went out Saturday night and as I was waiting for my drink to be served (Ginger Cordial) my eyes couldnt help scanning the packets of snacks on sale. I definitely was not hungry, it was just habit when ordering a drink to buy a bag of something too - luckily i resisted!
My body changed Saturday too , maybe a result of the mild spices in the curry or the coffee (or maybe something completely different...) Imy tummy was soooo bloated, I felt awful. :(

I'm also trying to get together some of the recipes I've used so I can blog them, bere with me, its half term and the kids are keeping me busy!!
