For a long time we ate nothing but endive. Endive with sand, endive without sand, endive with mashed potatoes.
Then it was spinach, followed by kohlrabi, salsify, cucumbers, tomatoes, sauerkraut, etc., etc.
It's not much fun when you have to eat sauerkraut every day for lunch and dinner, but when you're hungry enough, you do a lot of things.
Now, however, we're going through the most delightful period so far, because there are no vegetables at all.
Our weekly lunch menu consists of brown beans, split-pea soup, potatoes with dumplings, and potato kugel.
And, by the grace of God, turnip greens or rotten carrots, and then it's back to brown beans.
Because of the bread shortage, we eat potatoes at every meal, starting with breakfast, but then we fry them a little.
To make soup we use brown beans, navy beans, potatoes, and packages of vegetable, chicken, and bean soup.
There are brown beans in everything, including the bread. For dinner we always have potatoes with imitation gravy and beet salad.
I must tell you about the dumplings. We make them with government-issue flour, water and yeast.
They're so gluey and tough that it feels as if you had rocks in your stomach, but oh well!
The high point is our weekly slice of liverwurst, and the jam on our unbuttered bread.
