When I was a little boy in London I remember my mother gathering the ration books and taking me to the shops. The greatest day was when sweets went off the ration and there were long lines outside the shop. We liked turkish delight and licorice allsorts.
What, pray tell, are these "Ro's"?? Or Roes? Or whatever they are called? I can't tell what he's talking about that they mixed up with the baked potatoes? Surely he's not talking about the flowers? It's hard to tell when the film is in black and white.

Tony Frenolaski hey buddy, did you just blow in from Stupidtown?

Shari D57 was most likely cods roes, still considered a delicacy in some parts
1:21 This poor man could never have anticipated people psychotically panic-buying rooms full of toilet paper in 2020.
Or 2021 kids given worse food than kids on ration during wartime
@@jusb1066 I mean that's why there were rations, to prevent panic buying and making sure everyone can get their fair share.
The stores did ration TP and a lot of other goods for a good portion of last year after the panic buying so we did have rationing in 2020 just without the coupon books.
@@JohnSmith-dq7sr there's no such thing as fair share.. the rich are never subject to rationing
@Per Sunn look how fat Winston Churchill is for world war rationing, and drunk.,
That stoic look, at 3:40, as the officer tries to enjoy his compressed savoury biscuit. - This reminds one of the Classic British Mum, addressing her recalcitrant offspring: "You will HAVE your broccoli, and LIKE it."
...And that is the cue of the cleverer kid to stick a finger down his throat after having a few bites to puke it up: "There, I had the damn broccoli. Now, for the umpteenth time, I hate the damn stuff and the only way it is ever coming out the other end is if you manual cram it through my stomach and down my intestines. I will eat TOILET DUCK before I have broccoli-take the bloody hint!"
Mary Katherine Goode Kids like that are one of the reasons I'm getting my tubes tied. Awful brats.
@@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118 lol you were probably the worst kind of kid of all with that rotten attitude
@@timeiswhat I ate everything my mother told me to eat and never even thought of making a complaint.
And that is why I will do my best to avoid kids who will make themselves puke on purpose just to win an argument over broccoli, just like that scenario that other commentator described.
It wasn't just British mums, I'm Australian and remember being told the same thing. Now my grandchildren put in orders for what each one wants to have at each meal.
The British government did much work to ensure that people had a balanced diet even under the constraints of rationing. Some studies showed that citizens were healthier at war's end than before it began, after consuming less processed foods, vitamin supplements, etc.
In WW1 it was noticed that new recruits actually put on weight as they were getting regular meals, civilian life must have been very hard in the early 1900´s!
While the colonies starved.
Not a lot of processed foods back then , other than high sugar foods. Things that went on bread. And the poor did not have money for vitamins. Even in a country like England, which was well ahead on processed foods.
The real rise in process foods started in the 50s.
Even then most people made many things from scratch. My mother did. We always had homemade bread and baked goods. Much cheaper. When they built a giant supermarket in London, Ontario in the 60s, my mother wondered what they would ever put in a building that size. Tiny compared to today's supermarkets.
The war happened right after the depression. Most of the people living in towns and cities had little to know access to animal protein for a good 9 years at least. So a diet high in sugar and grains by default. And they were far from healthy. Big surprise. It is why the British government had to do something.
Only the well to do had less animal protein with rationing. Also the ones most likely to complain about it and write about it. Like most history you are seeing it from the prospective of those who were better off than average.
With rationing, in Britain, if you could not afford your rations, you got them for free. This was a temporary situation as everyone was soon working. Again they needed to increase the health of the population fast.
Diabetics dropped a lot. Not a surprise with the sugar rationing. It was still a lot of sugar. But people used it for preserving foods. And people were preserving everything they could get their hands on. The apple tree in the back yard did not go to waste.
The average woman gained a dress size during the war. Enough food, but high in carbs. Something not often told.
There were some interesting choices. You could have one fresh egg per person, per week. Feed for chickens. Or a dozen dried eggs from Canada per peson.
Unless you were good with laying chickens, the dried eggs were the best choice. Taste horrible if you never had them. But you could bake them into things and get the much needed protein.
You could also join a pig club where a bunch of people saved scraps for the pig. The government got half and you shared the other half.
Did not matter what country you were from, food wise better off if you lived in the country compared to the city.
My parents were from the backwoods of New Brunswick. Teens during the war. Everyone had at least one cow, hens and pigs. The lack of sugar, spices and other goods that needed to be shipped in effected them the most.
I have a copy of the Victory Cookbook put out by a ladies group to support the war. Recipes with lower sugar were a big part of it. Blackstrap molasses was used a lot. Spices were used sparingly.
My mother was also effected by the city rationing as she was pulled out of school at ageb12 to work in a factory. Shared a room with 3 other girls and was allowed home 1 1/2 days a week.
My Dad was pulled out at age 13 to be a lumberjack. They eventually got there high school when I was a child.

They rationed that chap's dental care
Hummus.. thought he was using sugar as tooth paste.
Brilliant! YAP YAP that was my comment also. ROR.
Very british!
i realize Im kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch new tv shows online?
@Titan Aldo thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it !!
I was laughing so hard at the line "It's the giant squeeze that does the trick - how like the good ol' income tax."
Old British humor is underrated at that.
Scottish Received pronunciation. 1939. Interesting.
That's Viscount Dunrossil - the Minister of Food in '39 - who was born in Argyll, so he came by the accent honestly
Posh Scots
And 1939 Teeth too 😂
@@Vinesy68 No fluoride toothpaste back then.
What a horrible voice it grates on my last nerve. I'm not talking about the Scottish lilt I'm talking about the awfull received pronunciation
That baked mashed potato dish looked pretty good, but I had to look up what "soft roes" meant. I think it's referring to codfish or herring eggs, & now I'm considerably less enthusiastic.
Thanks! I wasn’t sure what he was saying.
They are available, try a market stall dealing in fish. They are actually rather nice.
haha, yes, i was thinking the same thing. i thought it was "rose" at first!
@@jimthorne304 an acquired taste, perhaps?
As a child, 🤢 - however it may be noted i also did not care for olives or eggplant as a child and i think they're fabulous now (certainly grilled eggplant and kalamata olives). But i never did come to terms with brussel sprouts :( among other things. It's interesting how tastes can change over time (both concerning trends of an era and within one's own lifetime at different ages).
My parents were both English with a good dollop of Welsh so i inherited certain tastes even though i grew up in Australia, like HP sauce. (Sadly i have coeliac disease so i can't eat it now!) i also had Baxter's game soup when i was about 9 and never forgot it, although i was never able to get my hands on it again.
These were the types of English foods associated with older generations, but i drew the line at roe. i think i can remember my mum enjoying it warmed on bread and even now shudder at the concept. But i also haven't been able to get into caviar as an adult or sushi with fish eggs, so it might just be me. i think it potentially has as much to do with disliking the concept and appearance as the taste. i remember roe as salty (never heard it as a plural?) but with an unpleasant aftertaste.
How do you personally serve it as a dish when you eat it? i actually feel like having it mixed in with potato mash is a lot "safer" than having it straight.
@@jimthorne304 tinned pressed Cod Roe can be found in most supermarkets in the U.K., in some parts the pressed Roe is sliced up coated in batter and deep fried, apparently it’s very tasty.
On an island, imminent invasion lurking, the people of Great Britain were in a battle for survival.
Amazing people, amazing bravery.
@3:40
Talk about a look of feigned approval
I think he was looking for the bucket to spit it out in!
Came to make the same comment XD
Heinrich Himmler's long lost British twin.
Better that than going hungry like those in Stalingrad and other places.
His expression on his face hahaha hahaha
That food cake was probably harder to swallow than the taxes he mentioned. If only they gave Tabasco sauce with it.
Somehow I get the idea the food cake thing never caught on with the military otherwise I would probably have found it in the ration packs I was given when I was in.
@@mrjockt What did you do? here in the US they're often included in emergency rations for aircrew etc. They're actually not too bad!
@@charliekilo8944 I served in the R.A.F. during the eighties, the 24 hour ration packs we were issued with in the field consisted mainly of tinned rations plus a couple of different types of biscuit, hard tack and oatmeal, plus things like tubes of margarine and jam, sachets of tea, coffee and beef stock drink.
@@mrjockt I was USAF for a few years. That sounds similar to modern rat packs minus the tins! I can't remember who manufactures our emergency rations but they included some sort of compressed biscuit like in the video here. IIRC they tasted slighty of coconut!
@@charliekilo8944 The tinned stuff wasn’t too bad, the one everyone seemed to like was the tin of Bacongrill that was supposed to be for breakfast, sliced and fried in its own fat, then there was the Oatmeal biscuit, or block as it was called, that could either be eaten as it was with some jam on it or broken up and mixed with boiling water to make porridge, the only down side to these ration packs was that there was only three sachets of coffee, and I used to live on coffee in the field.
"I'm sure all of you will buy your fair-share and no more"....LOL...come to 2020 and try to buy some toilet paper....
Were I live in Northern Nova Scotia some things can be hard to find for a while, but toilet paper never disappeared from the shelves. However, most people live outside the town and keep well stocked all the time anyhow. I do not recall anything completely gone. Might not be your favorite version.
My daughter sent me pictures of the shelves in London, Ontario. Rows of empty shelves. I ended up mailing her canned milk for the baby as milk and formula had disappeared. He was just going to milk.
Brushing up on rations, just in case.
The way this country (UK) is going - we may need them sooner rather than later! I guess our royals and MPs will be OK though...
@@Bob.Jenkins What are you on about? Your English isn't the best!

Good Slap!
does that also apply to fish eggs? :v (roe)
Really puts things in perspective right now....
when they came off the ration, the demand was so great, they quickly went back on the ration.
I remember that, found out when in 'Maynards'
Our complete inability to handle the COVID pandemic proves that this really was the Greatest Generation. Not only did they endure the horrors of WW2, they made the whole world a better place coming out of it.
I generally dislike the way people reflexively use that phrase, the Greatest Generation, mostly referring to Americans. My objection is not to honoring the people in WW2, only the lack of thought about what they endured and achieved. It is refreshing to see that you include the British people under that term. They lived under such incredibly hard circumstances for so long.
World population was not even 2.5 billion during the second world war. Only Europe became a better place not the whole world. WW3 can be more horrifying because it can start and end in few hours.
The hardships which that WW2 generation went through is unimaginable in these days of frightful excess and sheer greed and indiscipline. We can learn much by respecting our forefathers and appreciating them.
Well said!
Well when I go to the Supermarket I only buy what I need and Ocachonal treat even though I can afford a lot more but I won't because I'm thinking of those who need the things more than I do
I agree

Those concentrated food bars are meant to be eaten over time (not gobbled down at once), and while drinking plenty of water. The US Military version--a type of pemmican bar--was horrible tasting.

On the Ration | British Pathé 0928am 25.7.22 those little ration books morphed into green shield stamp books. which only went out of circulation in the 1990's. shows you how difficult it is to leave behind the nostalgic impulse...and the green shield stamp book has morphed into plus point cards which you can accrue, those points, with every purchase - which get you some vouchers for future shops... depends where you shop, though... jeeeeeeeeeez; what a sad and pathetic life i lead.
'...an appetising dish of soft roe and baked spuds in their jackets'. Ahh, British cuisine at its best!
When the other option is starving I’ll take the roe and spuds.
Soft roe is alright! I have it when it's available.
Hi I'm Toby Nosike, I'm gonna be in British Pathe of New Channel, I love baking mashed potatoes in 1939, This potatoes is baked at kitchen with the care and you cooked so beautifulliest and nicely like lovely with cooking at the ration of British Pathe, what about codfish or herring eggs at seafood at sea, I think it's referring to seafoods with cowfish, buy how did cooking at this kitchen, I think cooking are beautiful cook for foods at kitchen of cafe, I'm sure about support of you in British Pathe in 1939.

What was the steamed portion of the potato dish? Rose or something similar sounding?
The idea of milt is not so bad as the idea of fishy potato. Thanks for enlightening me
I had the same question, and I have British parents so am pretty good at understanding the accents. It would help if the subtitles were correct, as they put it as Rose, not Roe. I suspected roe, but can't imagine that combination actually being a tasty dish.
"It's a wartime dish, and not rationed"
For good reason, Mr. Enfield.
Cream fish roe in twice baked potato? I'm glad my ancestors lit out to the colonies.
@@allanfifield8256 but I'm sure it's tasty, tasty, very very tasty! Just not necessarily nicely so.
You can’t even get people to wear face masks these days lol, imagine asking them to ration.
Face masks are useless, so the people in those days wouldn't have worn them either - they would have had more independence.
Alex Jones "eat your ass" song playing
Still looks like enough food to me :) i'd be okay on that no problem especially the potatoes which are filling.
what was that last cooking?
Roe (fish eggs, here called "roes"), with potato mashed with milk and stuffed into potato skins. I think it sounds gross but my mum probably wouldn't mind it.
3:39 I can't be the only one noticing how much that guy looks like himmler
I'd like to try one of those brickettes.
The officer on the table did not look very satisfied .like "eehhehhe it's yummy" through his teeth
Anyone else think he sounds like George Galloway?
The food was undeveloped in a gastronomic sense compare to nowadays. However i really enjoy the view of these videos.
It looks bland, but it was at least nutritionally balanced and healthy, from what I've read.
Compared to before rationing, infant mortality went down and (discounting deaths caused by the war) life expectancy went up.
@@drewgehringer7813 Interesting.
@@drewgehringer7813 actually another interesting side effect of war and rationing/food shortages relates to the discovery of coeliac disease. I believe it was detected in the Low Countries, Holland or Belgium, when a doctor noticed that some children actually began to put on weight and thrive when there was no bread to be had, compared to their peers.
Mmm yummy. Reminds me about the dandelion salads my grandmother told me about.

Is the ration card would put us all on equal plane field It would keep prices low and it would give everybody an opportunity to have quality food
rose ? or roe ?
I watched this today at school😂
3:40 - This, from the people that brought you vegemite. 😉
4:15 - Whoa! that's all?
damn straight! - I eat 2-3 g of vegemite a day. Standard Australian salt ration. Washed down with a pint of Coopers stout.
I think you can still buy dried egg powder in Waitrose.
Eggs dehydrate pretty well on a home dehydrator. If they're no stored for long periods thy come back pretty well. I use to use them on long backpack treats. The home dried eggs were real treated compared to the commercial ones.
I wonder if the politicians rationed?!
I think they did.
There are some sources referring to th Royal Family followint the rules. Of course, they had access to private sources of game.

My mom grew up in Philadelphia and used to take the trolley halfway across the city by herself once she turned 8. Kids had a kind of freedom and independence that have been done in. First (in the US) by suburbanization, where you need a car to get anywhere, and then societal changes.

Thanks for the video, but anyone wanna bet the hierarchy/rich didn't eat like they show everyone else doing?
Even the rich were issued rationing cards. Not to say that they didn't buy from the black market. Hopefully they still had money if it wasn't in the bank.
I’ve wondered that to. Somehow I doubt the king and queen were eating this stuff.
@Norm T I was saying this during WWII, not the 17th century. Thanks
everone got stuff on the black market, farmers could have as much milk as they wanted and would make cheese and butter to sell.meat was rationed but poaching was rife. seafood was plentiful. nobody starved.
@@robinhooduk8255 Yeah, the black market was huge. Fortunes were made there.
So did you have to pay for it? Too? Or was it free with the stamp things?
You had to pay,the ration just meant that everyone had the same opportunity to buy essentials such as fats,sugar,tea etc.

Harry Enfield.
Is it true that meat was rationed in England until 1955?
@TheRenaissanceman65 All of the rationing only ended in 1957 with Suez Canal problem and the petrol rationing as 1954 was end of food rationing, but still there was scarsity with some things like cheese making in depression, deficit of luxury fabrick like silk, velvet, satin and brocade beeing hot items. It took time to diverted back from war supplies to daily consumerism, and production.
@Druvis Eglite Not too sure if it was being diverted to war supplies as the war had been over for nearly 10 years by 1954, I think it was more the drive to export after the war as Britain was bankrupt, we needed to get foreign currency, for that read $, so almost anything bar the essentials was exported, look up Export or Die, funnily enough there's a Pathe film with that exact title.
@@yakacm I mean by that the things were still going on toward war aka post-war production lines and buildings past the war. Parachute and military uniform line buildings with other ones became clothing, bread and so on making lines for citizens some facilities even serving up to the sixties. As the new factories where built, the government used the processing power of them to produce from raw ingredients finished products for export. Even so, there was quite a time until the wartime supply production lines got shut down as they made basic necessities. Like cotton, wool fabrics, bread, etc.
And because of that, the luxury fabrics were still quite scarce as the government priotirzed recovery of the factories, food and basic necessities recovery using basic materials like cotton, wool, linen for bulk production.
@TheRenaissanceman65 1954 was the rationing end for the food and end as all. That, however, did not fill some parts of unimportant, important necessities from Europe, East Asia as it was rebuilding also from the war with gaps in the consumer market. Rationing did return only for 1956 and 1957 petrol thanks to Suez Canal crisis with oil not able to come to Britain from the Middle East
Hah... that dogfood briquette went down well..
Rationing is coming back to the UK, congrats to Boris/Truss and co for letting it get this bad for your average citizens whilst their leaders live it large, just like bobo did during lockdown. Will the people never learn...

Looks like toothpaste has been rationed for a while.
My mother used to give me cod roes on toast when I was 3 years old.
that's exactly how my mother (English and Welsh ancestry, English nationality) used to "enjoy" it. i thought it was called roe, with no plural, and initially was confused because i thought the video was referring to rose! As a child (in Australia), i thought it was very unpleasant myself. i didn't like the idea of it, nor the aftertaste, and never developed a taste for it later, unlike some other foods i abhorred during childhood which i later decided were great. May i ask, did you ever voluntarily eat it as an adult?

Just because something wasn't rationed, doesn't mean was there was plenty available. The British fishing fleet was under constant attack, and had lost a large number of experienced crews to the Navy. There was also a shortage of cooking oils, needed for frying. Most fish and chips shops could only fry one night a week; and you'd be lucky to get any fish.
And they tasted better than than today's fish shops do
the war inspire many to cook differently and more tastefully good
