Yes, that would be perfect. And I can *so* see Quorn ("Meatorine"?) in the Second World War! Whatever happened to spirulina as the food of the future? IIRC it can be cheaply grown and harvested and is of high nutritional value.

How about a very cheap, but nutritionally balanced, foodstuff for feeding the lower classes/untermenschen/serfs/slaves. I picture it as being like a very stodgy and flavourless bread. Or possibly like dog food, or cold porridge. "Serf Scoff - the perfect nutritional solution to your serfs'...

They're both in More What If?, the sequel to What If?.

Mr. Steingarten (in his book the man who ate everything) says it was "sweet-and-sour cooking". But where he gets that info from, he doesn't say.

I wonder what food would be like in Britain if the Nazis had won the war? Obviously no Chicken Tikka Masala - but maybe Italian food would still be popular. No doubt some German foods would be popular too - I can see a German infuence particularly on the snack food market (pretzels, pastries...

If the POD goes back far enough, you could have entirely different foods. I mean, some wild plants and animals could have been domesticated that never were in OTL. Think of all the edible wild plants and animals that exist - there must be potentially thousands of new foods. Even with a POD as...

Ah, I didn't see that. It's on the last page of the "Hitler as he knows himself" section. That's based solely on information given by Otto Strasser, who was expelled from the Nazi Party in 1930, and whose brother, Gregor Strasser, was murdered on Hitler's orders in 1934, after which Otto left...

Well, I have had internet access for some years, so it will take a lot to shock me! Just reading it now. http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/people/h/hitler-adolf/oss-papers/text/profile-index.html The bit about Hitler's sexuality starts on page five of the "Psychological Analysis and...

Thankyou. I didn't know he had plans for his retirement. And what do you mean about his sexuality?

What was his sense of humour like? And, had he won the war, would he have married Eva and had children? Also, I read in Eva's Wikipedia entry that she spend her time "exercising, reading romance novels, watching films and early German television". What was on TV in Nazi Germany?

I voted yes, although it's a qualified yes. I think it's possible for an invasion of Britain in 1940 to succeed with a POD later than 1st January 1940, provided the Germans have a string of lucky breaks, make use of ships from foreign navies (for example from the French or the Dutch navies), and...

There used to be two schools of thought on who introduced rabbits to Britain, some people said the Normans, others the Romans. It's now known that they were introduced by the Romans. BBC NEWS: Remains of Roman rabbit uncovered

Why do you think a Muslim England have been impossible without mainland Europe being conquered entirely by Muslims?

Cool! There's something very attractive about the idea of Islamic Anglo-Saxons. Are you going to develop this TL up to the present day?

This page links to some of them, but I know I missed out at least one (Ottoman-2, somewhere in Map Thread 1), and probably more.

Okay, thanks. :)

I'm guessing he got the idea from early 20th Century science-fiction. Mr. Stirling, I have a question. You've read a lot, right? So what are your favourite books? And what books do you think are undeservedly obscure?

I assume you mean that Speer increased production in spite of decentralisation, not because of it, right?

Forget about the moral debate - I want to know more about the plausibility and effects of the Allies never adopting a policy of area bombing.

Japan decides it would be a bad idea to go to war with the USA. What do they do instead? The poll allows you to choose more than one option.
