In 1942, a rationing system was set up to control the consumption of certain items such as eggs, butter, sugar, coffee, meat and fish. Americans considered rationing doing their part, and dealt with the shortages by improvising on recipes and menus, which helped in making their ration coupons go further. Even though many Americans adhered to the rationing policy, certain criminal enterprises formed a black market by which people could use cash to purchase the restricted commodities, if they didn't mind breaking the law.
