As it says on the run Chunk, dried eggs turned into powder used when most folk couldn't get fresh eggs especially in cities, you mixed it with water or milk and used it in baking etc.
1949 was a vintage year for sure
Tho we didn’t have an allotment ( dad was a merchant seaman) we knew all about shy bairns get nowt.
It was the mid-week one-pot dinners/tea that was often a soup or broth made from whatever was in the larder, that our mam used to make.
This was bulked out by your bowl being full of bread before the broth was poured and then there was a plate of bread & butter on the table to help it along.
Still like it this way today.

People used to try and make scrambled egg with it and that apparently wasn't very nice but I was too young to really remember it but Mam who was a cracking baker used to tell me about those sort of things during rationing.

You can buy !!! On second thoughts I maybe thinking of egg white powder l know you can use that for meringues !!! isn’t birds custard powder a form of dried egg?
Not really sure tbh, I only ever had a poultry amount ...
Am I right in thinking it's egg white powder or a meringue
Nothing better than a cauldron of broth , by chance we had some yesterday , main accompaniment Was missing Though the Greggs Stottie so had to make do with some crusty bread -not the same like ! Not with butter though yuek.
