| Description | Encloses the Food Committee's report on food products from the West Indies [Caribbean] -- describes the experiments on baking bread with flour from ground banana chips and the conclusion that it is suitable for food but not attractive and prone to mould -- notes that the proposal from the Jamaica Agricultural Society to send sweet potato chips for flour is more promising -- suggests a committee be formed representing the Ministry of Food, Wheat Commission, Dept of Shipping Control and the Food (War) Committee to consider it. Encloses an analysis of sweet vs white potato, with copies of the note from O Robinson [see MS/527/2/12/41], a letter from John Barclay [see MS/527/2/12/36], and the Interim Report [see MS/527/2/12/32]. |
