world war 2 in GREAT BRITAIN....srry about that...because i need to write a menu of what the boys from lord of the flies would eat if they were to go back home

Answer 1

that depends, the soldiers or the citizens of the civilians?

The soldiers got to eat from whatever was left in the supermarket, which were tons because of rationing.

The civilians got supermarket food from ration tickets, but they also made victory gardens. meaning they planted their own gardens, sealed the vegetables or fruits grown from the garden, and stored them for later.

Answer 2

You haven't said which country. In Great Britain, the only halfway plentiful foods were carrots and potatoes. Everything else was strictly rationed. One egg a week per person, for example. Many of Britain's food came from overseas, which created deadly circumstances, since ships were regularly blown up and sunk. Tea, coffee, canned goods, flour, lard, sugar, and many staples were rationed. Candy, a luxury, was rationed to 3 oz. per week per person. In North America, there was rationing of some foods too, but not as severe as overseas. In Europe, Holland for example, food was not only rationed but extremely scarce. Starvation wasn't unusual.

Answer 3

Which country are you talking about.
It depended where you were.
There was starvation in a lot of Europe towards the end of the war.

Answer 4

For servicemen and women there was no shortage of Spam. ( The Hormel kind, not the cybernetic.).
