The Austerity Kitchen

http://www.theausteritykitchen.com/


This is a really cool site.  The author researches food and recipes from times of want and deprivation - food used for steerage passengers on the Titanic, "iron rations" for Prussian soldiers during the Franco-Prussian War, meals prepared in London during WWII rationing, etc.
