- Food is much more than a daily necessity-it is social glue and an identity marker, a form of power and a weapon of war. Join the National WWI Museum and Memorial for this inviting Sunday “Kaffee und Kuchen” conversation, the latest in our War Fare series, with Dr. Heather Perry who will present a discussion on culture, gender and the national foodscape during and after WWI in Germany. Learn how food history can shed light on a better understanding of both world wars.

A proverb almost every German knows:
"Ohne Mampf kein Kampf"
Without chomp no stomp (i don't know if English natives can make sense of this one, but its a rhyme :D) / Without eating no fighting.
Most commonly used in context of work and sports, to express that one must eat well to be able to perform well.
Ms.Perry, very interesting. Maybe you could do the same study for Britain. Starting with the Battle of Spionkop, Project Scorched Earth, Concentration Camps, 1900-1924 social changes by Liberal Party (not Labour Party), Blockade of German and Austrian harbors 1904-1919, invasion of Russia via Baltic Sea 1919/1920, financial attack on German Mark 1925 ? Just a suggestion.
How are these videos not scene more i want to be to a WW1 museum soooooooooo bad XD
Two words: "Sliced Bread."
Thank for this!
I love rutabagas, I want that cookbook! 😆
I would love to watch this but I can't get out of my mind that over a million Germans starved to death in and after WWI because of the British food blockade between 1914 and 1919 killing mostly children and women of course, in that context menu considerations seem very unimportant. Good job girls.
Menu considerations are pretty much at the core of a food blockade...
All sides tried starving each other. War is hell.
You're depriving yourself of information about the very event you cite as vitally important by completely (deliberately?) framing this talk as inconsequential, for reasons that I can only guess at, but I imagine are embarassing.
Like, the naval blockade is at the very centre of this talk. Deciding what and how to eat during, and in the aftermath, might not sound important to you upon first glance, but if you were actually living in germany at the time, I imagine you would understand immediately how vital and central these questions are. Again, you're embarassing yourself with this comment.
