Just looked at the ration page 999 linked to and am quite amazed at how high the allocation for milk, fat and sugar is per week per adult!

There's no way I could get through Half a Pound of Sugar, Three Pints of Milk and TEN ounces of fat (4oz marge, 4oz lard and 2oz butter) per person every week. And I bake our own cakes and biscuits, maybe a sweet treat once a fortnight at the weekend. I use One Pint of (soya) Milk on my cereal a week, I wouldn't know what to do with all the rest as I'm not a tea drinker.

One Egg and Two Ounces of Cheese however, would feel rather skimpy - between us we get through One Dozen Eggs and up to One Pound of Cheddar, every fortnight.

The bacon and meat ration wouldn't affect us of course, I'd trade it in for more eggs and cheese!
