I hope this is the right place for this, my very first post got moved, and I was so embarrassed. So if it isn't, I'm sorry!
I've been pondering lately how hard it must have difficult it must have been to stick to rationing both during and after the war in Britain. I've gotten stuck on bread because my kids love it so much, it's cheap,and we all take it for granted these days that we'll be able to go get it when we want,in any variety to boot.
I'd like to do an activity with my kids tied to this. Does anyone have any good recipes for the bread they served there at that time? Was it yeast risen, or soda bread? I made wholemeal soda farls in a pan yesterday and those seemed like they'd be a good emergency bread recipe. It's what we had for bread when we lost power after Hurricane Ike a couple of years ago, cooked in a pan over the heat from a charcoal grill.
Any info is much appreciated.
