Those be them, I wasn't around at thew time, but I imagined them beign served
during the war, at times when people needed to bite the bullet. Those things
would have been a good stand-in.


No idea if that is true but it makes a good story ;-)

I picked up an interesting but useless fact the other week, during WW2
one of the foods which was never rationed was Fish and Chips. It was
thought that is would damage moral too much. Fish and Chip wagons would
tour the areas 'bombed out' to serve fish and chips to those in the
area. I'd have thought that the fish would have been in short supply due
to problems with fuel for the trawlers, trawlers being pressed into
service, sunk etc. but clearly not. These days it would be take away
Chinese and Curry or Kebabs (not that I've ever had a Kebab- they always
look like reconstituted fat).
