After the war things were just so scarce that you couldn鈥檛 have got a lot of things. It went on for a good while and I remember one night we went to a Navy for Navy men and they were giving out sandwiches. A sailor says to the woman with the sandwiches 鈥淲hat鈥檚 in that?鈥 and she says 鈥淏anana.鈥 Of course I helped myself. But it was a actually parsnips, it was mashed parsnip with a banana flavouring and you could have sworn you were eating banana sandwiches. Of course these sailors thought they were getting banana sandwiches too!
