擴展閱讀：戰時英國的節儉菜譜（有刪節）　By Colleen Moulding

　　These are some of the recipes my Grandmother used to feed her husband and seven children during the second world war in England. There was little fruit, scarcely any sugar, few eggs, and meat, butter and nearly all foods were rationed. Even when foods were available, money was extremely tight and there were no credit cards or same day loans to help you out. Families were encouraged to Dig For Victory, grow as much food as possible themselves. Consequently many a flower garden found itself turned over to potatoes, carrots and onions in a desperate attempt to fill up the ever hungry childrens stomachs.

　　我奶奶曾在二戰期間使用下列菜譜供養了她的丈夫與七個孩子。當時基本沒有水果、糖、蛋、肉與黃油，其他所有食物也都有配額，此外現金也十分緊張。政府鼓勵各家各戶自己種植食物，花園變成了菜地，長出了胡蘿蔔、土豆與洋蔥，這是為了填滿永不見底的兒童飢腸而進行的竭力嘗試。

　　Women were told that food was their munition of war. The Ministry Of Food and womens magazines of the day, gave basic nutritional advice and suggested substitutes such as mashed potato for flour, sour milk for cheese, grated vegetables for fruit and whipped margarine with vanilla instead of cream, but the housewife of the 1940s had to be very creative with what little food they had queued for with ration books in hand. Here are some of the meals they cooked up.

　　政府告訴廣大婦女，食品就是她們手裡的彈藥。食品部與婦女雜誌提供了各種營養建議，例如用搗碎的土豆代替麵粉，用酸奶代替乳酪，用蔬菜代替水果等。四十年代的主婦們必須發揮自己的全部聰明才智才能應付日復一日的無米之炊。以下就是一部分當年她們烹飪過的菜品。

　　This recipe was created by the Chef of the Savoy hotel and named after Lord Woolton, head of the Ministry Of Food.
