Only turkey, celery and a fruit for dinner. Actually very slim pickings for an American thanksgiving table.

March 6, 1943, doubtless the war rationing had something to do with the sparse spread.

There’s also what looks like a jello mold and there’s a covered dish, like a soup tureen.

And no doubt, the turkey is stuffed.

The celery looks like it’s supposed to have something in it, which if I can speculate, could be pineapple cream cheese.

When I was growing up, part of the relish tray was celery filled with pineapple cream cheese. Kraft used to make it then for a number of years, we could not find it. Just the other day my sister told me she found some at Wal-Mart, so I picked up a couple tubs and plan on doing that for part of the dinner. We don’t know if it’s going to be a seasonal item or not, but we’ll take what we can get.

Celery, pickles, something in aspic and a covered tureen that probably has mashed potatoes plus turkey and stuffing.

And that is only on the part of the table that we see.

Everything was rationed in 1943.

Actually, the guy with the evil grin at the bottom right hand corner is bogarting all the rolls, mashed potatoes, gravy and butter at his end of the table. He chose his seat wisely.
