During the Second World
War food was in short supply and many everyday items were either unavailable
or rationed. Why not check out our rationing
timeline (PDF) that shows when different
foodstufs were rationed during the Second World War. It also shows
the typical weekly ration that an average Scot would have had to live
on.
You can also try some wartime cookery
for yourself with our wartime
recipes (PDF)! Why not try and whip
up some mock oysters:

6 Sardines, boned and skinned
6 large Artichokes, boiled and rubbed through a sieve

and use to fill oyster or scallop shells. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs
