Cold meat and how to disguise it : Top tips on how to survive hard
times from a hundred years of belt tightening.
Summary: Hunter Davies looks back at a hundred years of economising
at a time when a lot of the old tips and hints are still useful today
as the same sorts of problems present themselves.
Credit has been crunched, banks hammered, the economy battered, prices
up, hopes down. All classes are being urged to economise, make do and
mend, spin things out, avoid waste, blah blah. It has been ever thus.
In times of War, general strikes as well as economic disasters,
Governments as well as agony aunts, do-gooders, magazines, books and
manufacturers have always exhorted us to tighten the old belts. Hunter
Davies looks back at a hundred years of such exhortations - in words,
leaflets, illustrations and posters- as they were applied to food,
children, health, clothing, the home, money and savings. Some of the
hints and advice are mystifying today. Many are amusing. Most are
informative. All are part of social history, and some could prove very
handy in today's economic climate. But quite a lot of these old tips
and hints are still useful today as the same sorts of problems present
themselves. After all, you might want to turn some cold scraps of meat
into a succulent new dish or knit some old bits of string together in
order to make a jolly useful dishcloth...
