Subject 3: HISTORY / MATHS / SPHE / ENGLISH:

You'll remember from yesterday that a lot of the propaganda posters that were made to inspire and influence people during World War II featured food food rationing .... Here are some more!

You'll see a big emphasis on growing your own food, not wasting food and preserving food.









Some people have said that our current lockdow situation and the Second World War are similar – long queues outside shops, empty shelves and rationing of items in our supermarkets. Thankfully, it is not nearly as bad and we still get to enjoy all the foods we want to enjoy. It was very different for families during the Second World War and you know from Maths this week that several food items were rationed per person. This lasted for 14 years!! Today I want you to look at some of the recipes that became commonplace during and after the War.

Is there any recipe here you would like to make over the weekend? Click here to convert ounces to grams if you are going to make a dish! If you do, please send me a picture of your wartime cuisine!

To help make the family rations last until the week, the 'Dig for Victory' campaign was launched to encourage families to grow their own food in their garden. People were urged to keep chickens, rabbits, goats and pigs – a particularly popular animal as it ate any leftovers from the kitchen.

Potato Pete and Doctor Carrot – two characters created to promote vegetable eating appeared in most recipes.

See what Anne Frank had to eat during her 25 months in the annex.

Have a look at this experiment undertaken by a History undergraduate when she ate 5 consecutive days of a World War recipes!

Challenge 4: Daily Dingbat!
