Atlantikwall Raversyde wants to introduce visitors to war cuisine

Visitors can taste what was on the menu in the First and Second World War. Furthermore, it is demonstrated how field kitchens work, and visitors learn about the eating habits of Prince Karel, the former resident of the domain. During workshops, those interested can learn to work with edible plants and flowers, learn how to peel shrimp and learn more about the history of shrimp on the coast.

‘War mayonnaise’

Cookbook collector Freddy Tyberghein tells more about kitchen secrets during the Second World War during lectures at Tasty Raversyde. “How did the rationing system work, how did families put a nutritious meal on the table? Magazines and books were full of tips on how to cook with few ingredients and resources. Think of war mayonnaise, potato marzipan and vegetarian cooking.

In the accompanying exhibition, you can view a number of cookbooks”, it sounds. An entrance ticket to the provincial domain is required to visit the event. With ‘ration coupons’, visitors can taste three war meals.
