Not a lot of processed foods back then , other than high sugar foods. Things that went on bread. And the poor did not have money for vitamins. Even in a country like England, which was well ahead on processed foods. The real rise in process foods started in the 50s. Even then most people made many things from scratch. My mother did. We always had homemade bread and baked goods. Much cheaper. When they built a giant supermarket in London, Ontario in the 60s, my mother wondered what they would ever put in a building that size. Tiny compared to today's supermarkets. The war happened right after the depression. Most of the people living in towns and cities had little to know access to animal protein for a good 9 years at least. So a diet high in sugar and grains by default. And they were far from healthy. Big surprise. It is why the British government had to do something. Only the well to do had less animal protein with rationing. Also the ones most likely to complain about it and write about it. Like most history you are seeing it from the prospective of those who were better off than average. With rationing, in Britain, if you could not afford your rations, you got them for free. This was a temporary situation as everyone was soon working. Again they needed to increase the health of the population fast. Diabetics dropped a lot. Not a surprise with the sugar rationing. It was still a lot of sugar. But people used it for preserving foods. And people were preserving everything they could get their hands on. The apple tree in the back yard did not go to waste. The average woman gained a dress size during the war. Enough food, but high in carbs. Something not often told. There were some interesting choices. You could have one fresh egg per person, per week. Feed for chickens. Or a dozen dried eggs from Canada per peson. Unless you were good with laying chickens, the dried eggs were the best choice. Taste horrible if you never had them. But you could bake them into things and get the much needed protein. You could also join a pig club where a bunch of people saved scraps for the pig. The government got half and you shared the other half. Did not matter what country you were from, food wise better off if you lived in the country compared to the city. My parents were from the backwoods of New Brunswick. Teens during the war. Everyone had at least one cow, hens and pigs. The lack of sugar, spices and other goods that needed to be shipped in effected them the most. I have a copy of the Victory Cookbook put out by a ladies group to support the war. Recipes with lower sugar were a big part of it. Blackstrap molasses was used a lot. Spices were used sparingly. My mother was also effected by the city rationing as she was pulled out of school at ageb12 to work in a factory. Shared a room with 3 other girls and was allowed home 1 1/2 days a week. My Dad was pulled out at age 13 to be a lumberjack. They eventually got there high school when I was a child. .

As a child, 🤢 - however it may be noted i also did not care for olives or eggplant as a child and i think they're fabulous now (certainly grilled eggplant and kalamata olives). But i never did come to terms with brussel sprouts :( among other things. It's interesting how tastes can change over time (both concerning trends of an era and within one's own lifetime at different ages). My parents were both English with a good dollop of Welsh so i inherited certain tastes even though i grew up in Australia, like HP sauce. (Sadly i have coeliac disease so i can't eat it now!) i also had Baxter's game soup when i was about 9 and never forgot it, although i was never able to get my hands on it again. These were the types of English foods associated with older generations, but i drew the line at roe. i think i can remember my mum enjoying it warmed on bread and even now shudder at the concept. But i also haven't been able to get into caviar as an adult or sushi with fish eggs, so it might just be me. i think it potentially has as much to do with disliking the concept and appearance as the taste. i remember roe as salty (never heard it as a plural?) but with an unpleasant aftertaste. How do you personally serve it as a dish when you eat it? i actually feel like having it mixed in with potato mash is a lot "safer" than having it straight.

that's exactly how my mother (English and Welsh ancestry, English nationality) used to "enjoy" it. i thought it was called roe, with no plural, and initially was confused because i thought the video was referring to rose! As a child (in Australia), i thought it was very unpleasant myself. i didn't like the idea of it, nor the aftertaste, and never developed a taste for it later, unlike some other foods i abhorred during childhood which i later decided were great. May i ask, did you ever voluntarily eat it as an adult?

​ @Druvis Eglite Not too sure if it was being diverted to war supplies as the war had been over for nearly 10 years by 1954, I think it was more the drive to export after the war as Britain was bankrupt, we needed to get foreign currency, for that read $, so almost anything bar the essentials was exported, look up Export or Die, funnily enough there's a Pathe film with that exact title.

Parachute and military uniform line buildings with other ones became clothing, bread and so on making lines for citizens some facilities even serving up to the sixties. As the new factories where built, the government used the processing power of them to produce from raw ingredients finished products for export. Even so, there was quite a time until the wartime supply production lines got shut down as they made basic necessities. Like cotton, wool fabrics, bread, etc.

Yep. Not gonna be good. People should start stocking up on essential (pantry milk+eggs, canned proteins, alcohol, vinegar, bleach, bar soaps, first aid supplies and meds, reusable feminine products [cups are ideal, in case you're interested but probably not, bc they're hygienic and don't require a lot of water to clean unlike cloth or disposable options), extra shoes especially for children in larger sizes, jackets, tools, duct tape, extra building material, CONTRACEPTIVES [do you really want to get pregnant if our society becomes akin to Venezuela? You certainly shouldn't chance it] basically anything you absolutely need for a year or more of unpredictable shortages) and luxury (sugar, coffee, tea, TOILET PAPER, etc) consumables now. It's tricky but pretty important to do it now, order bulk emergency meal rations, start collecting and storing tap water (just in case, you REALLY don't want to be struggling with the unprepared masses for basic survival in a society where we don't face that type of deprivation). I try to use empty, easily cleaned plastic and glass resealable drink containers to add some water from the tap for doomsday prepping. Only issue is that water takes up a ton of space but unless you want to dig a hole in the backyard and drink dirt water... You might have to contend with that issue. Really helps if you have a place to safely store that stuff where it won't go bad bc of environmental conditions. Sorry for rambling. But this concerns me as well and I think at least with RATIONING, the Brits were able to survive but they were marginally assisted by the US so they wouldn't starve. Who knows what would've happened if Britain was COMPLETELY cut off. Yes the Nazi war machine significantly undermined material resources but the British didn't starve to the point that they were cannibalizing their dead children like those in Leningrad for instance. They might've had to do more with a lot less but it wasn't cataclysmic, in fact, it's fair to say that rationing helped the poorer classes nutritionally catch up to their well off peers. All school children got cod liver oil daily. Truly amazing. I think there's something to be said about the overall spirit of people during that time. I'm all for diversity as it gives us great advantages WHEN WE WORK TOWARDS A COMMON GOAL, but it just seems like a more homogenous societies share similar base moral values and norms with their countrymen so it's easier for individuals to sacrifice and contribute to a collective effort like rationing and other war efforts.

Just because something wasn't rationed, doesn't mean was there was plenty available. The British fishing fleet was under constant attack, and had lost a large number of experienced crews to the Navy. There was also a shortage of cooking oils, needed for frying. Most fish and chips shops could only fry one night a week; and you'd be lucky to get any fish.
