14 August 1945 - TRUMAN ANNOUNCES JAPAN'S UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER:
President Harry Truman announces Japan's acceptance of Allied surrender 
terms, and celebrations erupt across the US and around the world, 
including in Manhattan's Times Square where a photographer captures 
one very pucker-happy sailor and a nurse clad all in white.

  An authentic WW2 salad recipe where the eggs (which were
  rationed) are made with carrot, a little cheese and
  mashed potatoes! This salad looks very attractive and
  feeds four people with ease. Potatoes, that were
  home-grown, are put to good use in this salad recipe,
  which is very healthy due to many raw vegetables. The
  name "Whit Salad" is thought to be derived from Whitsun,
  which is an important holiday in the church calendar and
  was celebrated as a public holiday with picnics, f++tes,
  galas, walks, dances and church suppers.

  To make the potato eggs, mix the grated carrots and
  cheese together to form balls, like egg yolks; add a
  little of the mashed potato to bind them if necessary.
  Wrap the balls with a layer of mashed potato, and then
  cut in half, so they resemble hard boiled eggs.

  Arrange the salad ingredients on a large serving platter
  - lettuce first and then the carrots, cabbage (or
  celeriac), diced potatoes with snipped chives; arrange
  the tomatoes and mock egg halves around the outside of
  the salad.

  Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients
  together and drizzle over the salad.

  NB: Any root vegetables can be used in place of the
  cabbage and carrots, and commercially made salad cream
  can be used too. When watercress is in season, decorate
  the salad with watercress.
