you are correct this is indeed how we handled the lack of food.
that’s also why a lot of “staples” of British food from the last generation or so are so bad. the recipes that came from rationing became a sort of comfort food almost for that generation who were moved to the countryside and out of cities.
when they grew up they copied those recipes and it stuck for a while.
we have very traditional dishes like black pudding and mince pies that are fucking phenomenal, I do sincerely recommend you look into those traditional dishes from before the war.
Funny and historically accurate!
One of the reasons in particular english food gets a bad rap is because the majority of it grew out of rationing culture.
Britain was still rationing into the 50s when most European countries had stopped rationing.
Regardless, I love British food. I’d go for a carvery over a curry or a Chinese or a pizza, 9 times out of 10
There’s an odd obsession online with trying to make out things like beans on toast are not delicious.
+ Fish and chips mate
All these meals are delicious.
* Bangers & mash, w/ onion gravy.
* Beans on toast.
* Fish & chips.
* Sausage roll. Which is distinct from a roll & sausage.
* Deep-fried Mars bars.
Britain has the best food in the world.
Damn, now I want a spud.
America can’t say much what foods did they make they just copy and commercialise
There is literally nothing better than a jacket potato with beans and tuna on a cold afternoon.
Nought wrong with a Jacket Potato… it’s a potato.. eat it plain… yeah it’s 1945 flavours… but you garnish it with literally anything that takes your fancy.
Delicious. Finally, some good fucking memes
Jokes on them we’re into starvation food
🤔 “”if one bombed England effectively this could bring peace.” heels, including kitten click with the familial throwing of the ubiquitous roman salute. I’ll sticked to baked tatties, beans and my fell boot heels unclicked thanks Battenberg-Windsors.
