I simply stated it was from war time when things like eggs and sugar were rationed. I did state however that it was a recipe that came down from my mom, her mom and my grandmother, the latter two who would have been alive and cooking during WW1 and WW2. It costs nothing to be nice you know.Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-31147417685022053662021-03-09T09:07:00.796+00:002021-03-09T09:07:00.796+00:00I believe this is WW1, not WW2 !!!I believe this is WW1, not WW2 !!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04195204557682057098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-15778453858307017762020-11-26T22:28:51.769+00:002020-11-26T22:28:51.769+00:00Sounds like a great idea!
