Bread is nutritious in relation to its weight. Bread has a symbolic status that few other foods have in Western societies. Britain went to great lenghts to avoid rationing bread during the war itself. (However, in 1942 the government did enforce one single standard 'national' loaf, which was wholemeal).
As for fruit, apples, Pears, plums and various other fruits were available in just about sufficient quantities in Britain and didn't have to be shipped. Citrus fruits, however, had to be imported and were hardly ever available in Britain during the war.
