Rationing

Hi Folks,

It's high time for me to learn something about the rationing that happened during the war years, and I thought it would be great to get a thread going in here about it, for us all to add to and read.

As I write this, I'm already ahead of myself imagining fixing my snack of cream cheese with raspberry jam topping it, both liberally smeared on bread ... my evening snack I'm sure some treat like this would have been a godsend to anyone through those rationing years?

Our younger generations don't seem to have a clue what deprivation is because even our deprivation comes with abundance that many would have sold their souls for to feed their families?

I guess I'd like to know things like "WHAT" was rationed and how people coped.

Thanks in advance for any input here!
