Anyone else watch these videos and feel like you're doing everything wrong in your life? I think... I should eat better, cook more, grow more edible plants, be more appreciative, volunteer more... Also, my grandparents were WWII gen and these vids make miss them and appreciate them and the values they tried to teach me.

If we have the land and resources, I think having a garden and growing veggies and herbs is a wise idea for anyone. You know how healthy the food is that you grow. It teaches you to be creative with cooking. And it provides time outside in the sunshine. After the shelves were cleared in the stores, I want to know that I will have some food available from my garden. Mustard and cress for certain.

I grew up in the 50s in my grandmothers council house. Her back garden was not that big but it was crammed to the last inch with potatoes, radishes, runner beans, celery (grown under old tin buckets to keep it white and sweet.) Winter greens and bruxelles sprouts. (We ate the leaves of the bruxelle tops too) and lots of mint plants. Rhubarb, blackcurrant, redcurrent, rasberries, loganberries, gooseberries and a small strawberry patch. Chickens in a shed at the bottom of the garden so we always had fresh eggs. I loved it when grandma asked me to pull some of the new potatoes for lunch. Such a rich sweet earthy smell. We would have them scrubbed and boiled and with home made mint sauce Even today, 60 years on, the sight of a potato field makes my mouth water. . We would go for walks along the country lanes armed with sticks and gather blackberries and in the autumn we would use the same sticks to knock down wild chestnuts. My dad would gather elderberries for making wine. We never went hungry and i ate what was served without question. Even though there were a few things i really didnt like.

I have a 14yr old daughter, I found getting her to help prep food and getting her to dish up her own plate helps in her not wasting food. She often takes ages to eat, so smaller portions are better. She can come back for seconds. Then again, a friends daughter is super skinny but eats more than her dad.🤣

True. Part of that was because poor people simply got more to eat (especially of calorie- and protein-rich foods) after 1939 because of full employment, and the rationing system assured people of lower income that they could get a fair share of the meat, butter, and milk. Prior to WWII, poorer people in Britain had a much harder time making both ends of the sausage "meat." They were shorter and weighed less than richer people, although the difference was not as marked as it had been prior to WWI. The wartime restrictions on access to protein- and fat-rich foods during didn't hurt the upper & middle classes, although it was a pain in the neck. And it meant the poorer people could get some of it.

Making ends meet refers to the beginning and end of different paychecks. Anything else does not pass musterd. To think that it is ought but paychecks or rope ends meeting, to be able to make a knot at sea or have money left when one's next check arrives, is plain bologna!

Funny, I've always grown all my food, apart from flour, sugar and salt. I no longer have livestock though as the children are all grown and gone, so things have changed somewhat. We grew things then out of being poor and it became habit. Where I live many things stay in the ground or grow all year. It really is sad that more people don't have the opportunity to have real food, but maybe they wouldn't have the interest either.

Interesting that the concept of fresh raw vegetables was being pushed - but nobody put them into a salad. Also, lots of vegetables can be fermented - like the cabbage, turnips, carrots, etc. It increases the nutritional value, and can be stored up to a year if needed - plus the tart flavors are very welcome as an addition to a rather bland diet. So many valuable lessons in these old films.

I didn't know if that was real or a south american saying to tell kids. In the U.S. though, I've met a lot of people who peel all the vegetables and think it's gross to leave skin on.

My first thought is being amazed at the British, in living memory, having to make do with hunger; and really understanding what they meant by, "A stiff upper lip." My second thought is from a professional perspective a lot of the minutia of their commercial kitchen is recognizable: the pot lids, the plate-washing racks, the commercial dishwasher, the hotel pans of potatoes. Much of what they are using is recognizable, if lacking in plastic fittings.

Hello from USA..SAW your comment about food rationing during WW2. As you may know America rationed from the very beginning. Food was not that plentiful here as we supplied so many other Nations & armies. Luckily both my parents grew up on farms too. Farmers did not have it as bad as city folk. I still home can food, freeze many things & don't waste food. My parents made us eat what ever we were given & to scrape our plate!! We never ate in restaurants, most things were made or baked at home. We ate many meatless meals..beans, macaroni & lots of vegetables. The recent increase in groceries is hard but, I don't feel the pinch like some do.

@Aurora Borealis they were in a way, but when they started shoving margarine down people throats, and vegetable oils, they got sicker faster, and it's only increased until today. Plant oils are deadly, low fat plant based diets like these poor wartime people ate, cause heart disease. Nothing can compare to the superior nutritional necessity of milk, eggs, meats.
