I don’t know if you remember the great cookie shortage of 42. Throughout the entire countryside there was not a crumb to be found. Rumors of Chocolate Chip cookies being made and smuggled in across State lines surfaced, but none were ever discovered.
Some farmers disguised portions of their fields to grow cookie dough during the night-time hours, but the heat from the day’s sun caused the dough to rise, and it was usually spotted by government agents, who confiscated it, and jailed the farmers.
One enterprising
baker made Snickerdoodles in the shape of heads of cabbage. The popularity of his bakery grew too quickly,
and the Feds soon shut him down. As the
story goes, he narrowly escaped and is now running a French patisserie under
the name of Les Weforget, in the California town of Baker’s Field.
