Sending Afghans Overseas
Dear Aunt Daisy, I heard you inquiring about sending afghans to the boys at the front. Well, I have sent several lots to my boy in the Middle East; they are always all right, and he enjoys them. So I thought I would let you know. One time I sent him some tinned whitebait, and in another tin I sent a mixture for the making of some batter to cook the whitebait in-about 2 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon of cake baking-powder, a good’ tablespoon of milk-powder, pepper and salt. All he had to do was to mix it with water. That was all right, but he said we forgot to enclose some fat to cook the fritters in! All they had was cotton-seed oil, and that made them taste nasty. So next time I will certainly pack in some nice dripping.-Springlands (Blenheim). I’m afraid dripping would not keep very well; but you can send properly prepared tinned butter either to the Middle East or Great Britain,
