What foods weren't available in the world war 2?

The food types available during WWII depended on which country you lived in at the time. For instance in England they could not have chocolates, deserty foods or other luxuries because of the rationing on sugar and other ingredients needed to make the treats. In the United States chocolate was the number one food item handed out to the servicemen to keep their blood sugar from plummeting. So the Americans had their chocolate supply cut down. Real coffee was impossible to get. They had to have a beverage called ersatz coffee. Milk and cream was hard for adults to get because it was reserved for the babies. Many had to use powdered milk. Meat was severely cut back in England and moderately cut back in the USA. Fish was readily available to the Brits and potatoes too, so their favorite food was not cut back.

How did people pay for their rationing?

During rationing, people typically paid for their rations using ration books, which contained stamps or tokens that represented a specific quantity of goods they were allowed to purchase. These books were issued by the government and regulated the distribution of essential items like food, fuel, and clothing. In some cases, individuals could also use cash to buy items that were not rationed, but the availability of such goods was often limited. The system aimed to ensure fair distribution during times of scarcity, such as during wartime.
