@talmadge19262 жыл бұрын
I grew up in the 50s in my grandmothers council house. Her back garden was not that big but it was crammed to the last inch with potatoes, radishes, runner beans, celery (grown under old tin buckets to keep it white and sweet.) Winter greens and bruxelles sprouts. (We ate the leaves of the bruxelle tops too) and lots of mint plants. Rhubarb, blackcurrant, redcurrent, rasberries, loganberries, gooseberries and a small strawberry patch. Chickens in a shed at the bottom of the garden so we always had fresh eggs. I loved it when grandma asked me to pull some of the new potatoes for lunch. Such a rich sweet earthy smell. We would have them scrubbed and boiled and with home made mint sauce Even today, 60 years on, the sight of a potato field makes my mouth water. . We would go for walks along the country lanes armed with sticks and gather blackberries and in the autumn we would use the same sticks to knock down wild chestnuts. My dad would gather elderberries for making wine. We never went hungry and i ate what was served without question. Even though there were a few things i really didnt like.

If we have the land and resources, I think having a garden and growing veggies and herbs is a wise idea for anyone. You know how healthy the food is that you grow.

After the shelves were cleared in the stores, I want to know that I will have some food available from my garden. Mustard and cress for certain.

True. Part of that was because poor people simply got more to eat (especially of calorie- and protein-rich foods) after 1939 because of full employment, and the rationing system assured people of lower income that they could get a fair share of the meat, butter, and milk. Prior to WWII, poorer people in Britain had a much harder time making both ends of the sausage "meat." They were shorter and weighed less than richer people, although the difference was not as marked as it had been prior to WWI. The wartime restrictions on access to protein- and fat-rich foods during didn't hurt the upper & middle classes, although it was a pain in the neck. And it meant the poorer people could get some of it.

Also, lots of vegetables can be fermented - like the cabbage, turnips, carrots, etc. It increases the nutritional value, and can be stored up to a year if needed - plus the tart flavors are very welcome as an addition to a rather bland diet. So many valuable lessons in these old films.

People were healthier back then we should learn from them.

No they weren't. Most chain smoked and alcohol was a huge part of their lives. Stress etc.

@Aurora Borealis They didn't have a choice. Food rationing and smaller portions, also many of the foods consumed today were not around back then so it really isnt a fair comparison.

@Aurora Borealis they were in a way, but when they started shoving margarine down people throats, and vegetable oils, they got sicker faster, and it's only increased until today. Plant oils are deadly, low fat plant based diets like these poor wartime people ate, cause heart disease. Nothing can compare to the superior nutritional necessity of milk, eggs, meats.

@@ukmedicfrcs that's about the dumbest thing I've ever read ! People have always smoked and drank lmao even in todays society but they were healthier back then they even grew there own vegetables they didn't have all the processed shit they do today and lots of other chemicals in there food and in the air we breath and they raised chicken for eggs and meat that wasn't injected with crap like today ! My grandmother went thro this and she lived to be 98 years old she smoked the hell out of cigarettes and drank and was a much happier person then you are snowball 😂
