Kos uit die depressie jare

Kos uit die depressie jare klink depressief. Dit was egter alles behalwe. Die vrouens was vindingryk en kreatief. Hierdie vrouens kon baie doen met hulle rantsoene. Daar was skaapboud sonder skaap, sjokolade koek sonder meel. Groente tuine is aangeplant en het gehelp om die rantsoene te rek.

Kos uit die depressie jare was eintlik glad nie sleg nie – dit was verstommend smaaklik

Die volgende lys is verskaf deur die Minister van Voedsel sekerheid – Brittanje en is die rantsoene vir 7 dae vir een volwassene.

There was also a points system which limited purchases of tinned or imported goods. Each person was entitled to 16 points every four weeks. Foods such as canned meat, rice, fish and vegetables, biscuits and cornflakes all used the points system.

The weekly rations were stretched with the help of unrationed extras such as cereal, potatoes, offal and fruit, vegetables and bread, which wasn’t rationed until after the war.
