The popularity of carrot cake and baked potatoes in the Newquay Zoo cafe are only two of our wartime legacies from rationing.

The 70th anniversary of wartime rationing of food in Britain takes place this year, something which was to dominate the British household for the next 14 years from bacon, ham , sugar and butter going on ration on 8 January 1940 until the last item – meat – came off ration in June 1954.
Find out more about rationing, wartime cookery and gardening and about our wartime garden event on 1 to 3 May 2010 and our wartime collection at our main blog site http://worldwarzoogardener1939.wordpress.com

and don't forget the new Ministry of Food exhibition http://www.food.iwm.org.uk
