    Reading about the WW2 Home Front is one of my hobbies, and I have a few reproduction cookbooks from then.  Portion sizes were smaller, but as someone else mentioned there was always a pudding.  After I have a meal I've never any room for pudding these days, so swings and roundabouts I suppose.

    Another website people might be interested is https://the1940sexperiment.com/rationing-diet-sheets/ and she has a FB group where people try it as an actual diet as well.
    Live the good life where you have been planted.
