Interestingly, no one bid on the 1950s U.S. Navy recipe set on eBay. The auction, which just concluded, ran for about a week.Watch the eBay listings if you're interested in this recipe set. Although it's tempting, I already have several recipe sets from the era and won't be bidding.
Click here to locate seller's listing. I'm sure that he will re-list the item soon.
You can also locate this set and similar military cookbooks, like the 1944 Cook Book of the U.S. Navy, by searching on the terms "navy recipe."
I love the retro charm of the set, but the convenience of the online Armed Forces Recipe Service is just sooo convenient. I got rid of my brick phone for the same reason!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ed. Once or twice each year I get an email that asks, "Where can I locate an old military recipe set?" So, I post the auction when I find one.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I use the digitized version of AFRS for camp and other times I have to feed large groups. They're convenient and can be transferred to MasterCook without doing as much typing.
