The "lend-lease" during the war usually conjures up thoughts of Thompsons, Shermans or Willies but the really important supply to the Soviet Union was food. Over one million tonnes of SPAM alone was sent to the USSR. Does anyone out there have and uneaten lend-lease food in their collection?
I have a 1943 tin of US powdered eggs for British consumption and a 1945 tin of British chocolate biscuits for Dutch "winter hunger" consumption but I've not found any food prepared for the Soviets yet. Can someone show us what the Soviets were eating?
If anyone out there has ever eaten powdered egg you'll realise why the tin I have survived.....
