How did Britain get a lot of food before the war?

it was the Americans. some food went rotten when the shipping companies went on strike. Like in new york the shipping company went on strike and the eggs went rotten, before the eggs got to England you could apparently smell the eggs over 5 miles away! yuk! the eggs were put in a ditch and closed up the ditch with cement. the ditch must have been huge!


What will make an egg float?

One egg and two scoops of ice cream. --OR-- If you want the egg to float in water, you can dissolve salt or sugar in the water. === === Fresh eggs will not float when placed in water; they instead will lie sideways on the bottom of the container (such as when we place them in a pan for boiling.) As an egg ages it will lose water and carbon dioxide--these leach through the shell. This loss of contents creates an air pocket--actually, it enlarges the small air pocket at the 'pointed end' that all fresh eggs possess. As an egg ages it increasingly becomes more bouyant and begins to "stand up" when submerged. When an egg is old enough to become rotten (generally more than four weeks) it will float in water. This in fact is how I test eggs before I cook them, since I am single and don't use eggs very often. So two suggestions: first, if an egg's freshness is suspect, place it in a cup or glass of water; if it floats, throw it out. Otherwise, it's OK to cook. Second, avoid the notion of cracking a rotten egg. The hydrogen sulfide gas in a rotten egg is what we all know as the 'rotten egg' smell and could induce a run to the bathroom and the loss of stomach contents.
