Adults Weekly Ration in May, 1941

Answer 2

This is the ration for one adult per week: * Bacon and Ham: 4ozs ( 100g ) * Meat: Sausages were not rationed but difficult to obtain : offal was originally unrationed but sometimes formed part of the meat ration. * Butter: 2ozs ( 50g ) * Cheese: 2ozs ( 50g ) sometimes it rose to 4ozs ( 100g ) and even up to 8ozs ( 225g ) * Margarine: 4ozs ( 100g ) * Cooking Fat: 4ozs ( 100g ) often dropping to 2ozs ( 50g ) * Milk: 3 pints ( 1800ml ) sometimes dropping to 2 pints ( 1200ml ). Household ( skimmed, dried ) milk was available. This was 1 packet every 4 weeks. * Sugar: 8ozs ( 225g ) * Preserves: 1lb ( 450g ) every 2 months * Tea: 2ozs ( 50g ) * Eggs: 1 shell egg a week if available but at times dropping to 1 every two weeks.
