And if you’re lactose intolerant, you have another reason to hate the Germans.
Pretty sure the British thing to do in that case is to just lie down and die quietly for Queen and Country
It’s hard to tell what everything is in black and white. What is all this?
Was wondering the same. My guesses, clockwise from the top:
- milk
- tea?
- meat
- chocolate
- salt?
- bacon?
- sugarcubes
- cheese
- butter
This… seems kind of amazing. You get bread and vegetables and canned goods, too? I wish I could get this each week! Good cuts of meat has gotten so expensive.
Assuming you grew your own vegetables, maybe could fish if you had any skill.
I feel it’s missing eggs. Fantastic protein source. No bread ? Are you supposed to make it yourself?
I see it excludes bread. What kinda cans would you get ? Beans spam maybe
Wouldn’t citizens be expected to raise their own chickens, which would provide eggs? That’s how it was in the US so I assume it’s the same overseas.
My Mum had a pet pig when she was a kid during the war. They had to eat it.
:(
More than likely. Suppose it would be much harder in Tennants and maybe in the north. Not sure what temperature chickens can handle n
Chickens do fine in cold climates for the most part
I assumed they would be fine but I suppose you’d need to protect chicks and again have space for them. Unlikely to have them in built up areas. Maybe communal areas for cities
i would get so tired of milk… at least there was bread.
All most people drank back then was tea which used milk.
I can relate, I’m lost without milk in my tea or coffee.
Bloody hell that’s a lot of milk! And, well, not much of anything else. I suppose you could make additional cheese??
I feel more normal about my tea/milk consumption now. Evidently, it’s the way of my people.
Yeah tbh after I made the comment I thought about it and I do actually get 4 pints delivered a week pretty much for 1 lmao
How often were the rations replenished?
Edit: whoops must have been still half awake somehow I skipped over the first word multiple times 😅
Weekly?
The first word.
