Sending Fat to England
Dear Aunt Daisy, Through the war years I sent pure beef dripping regularly to friends in England. These friends have now returned to New Zealand, and have told me that the fat always arrived in perfect condition. They were extremely grateful for this extra fat. I always bought a couple of pounds of pure beef dripping,’ melted it slowly, and poured it into previously tested tins which must have push-in lids like goldensyrup tins, though those tins will not do. The only satisfactory tins, I found, were dried-milk tins, all others leaked with the melted fat. I sealed them down hot. Be very careful not to splash the hot fat, while hammering the lid on carefully. When cold, I packed the tins in thick cardboard and sewed the parcel in unbleached calico. I feel sure the enquiring listener, by taking care, will be quite successful in sending fat likewise. Wishing you all the best.-T7.F., Roseneath. Very many thanks for a most useful letter.
