Meringue powder has been around a long time, I used it aboard ship
more than 50 years ago... like so many other food products was likely
developed by the USN to conserve shipboard stowage space. It's pretty
easy to find.

Then where do I find regular powdered eggs?

I think I'll pick up a package of whole dehydrated eggs when I buy the
whites only. I've never made scrambled eggs from dehydrated eggs, but
I know for sure I would like them because a chef in the employee
cafeteria of a high end hotel I worked at before I was married told me
the scrambled eggs I liked so much were made from dehydrated and has
*lots* of butter in them. I've pretty much duplicated it with real
eggs and of course, butter, but it would be interesting to see if I
can do it with dehydrated too.

Shades of WWII in Britain. Real eggs were not always available but
dehydrated eggs (we called them "dried eggs") were. They made quite
reasonable scrambled eggs and omelets but we missed soft-boiled and
sunny side up eggs.

My thoughts exactly (I replied to O with that thought) except that we lived
in the country and kept chickens.

My mother did exactly the same thing but never used them as we always had
plenty. Having lived through the war she was always prepared for
emergencies.
