It's hard for me to imagine how you would use this. Would you slice it for a sandwich? Would you use it as a side dish? If you have partaken of the Cheese Loaf, please feel free to leave a comment for this posting and let me know.
The onions and peanut butter in this recipe also reminds me of a jr. high school history teacher I once had who enjoyed peanut butter and onion sandwiches. (But that recipe will be left for a future Food Friday).
Since this cookbook is dated 1942, I suspect the Cheese Loaf is a ration saving recipe. I own several booklets from this time put out by the Pet Milk Company as a service to War-Time America. The recipes were very cheese oriented, as a way to save money and rationing points.
ReplyDeleteThe addition of the peanut butter would be seen as another way to add non-rationed (or low-rationed) protein to the recipe.
I might be brave enough to try out this recipe (even though modern nutritionists would disagree with those from the war years as to the relative health of this food).
I'm sure you are right Sue. I've seen similar recipes to this one in other war time cookbooks. I'm just curious if anyone ate this recipe and what it looked like when cooked.
