I tried rationing a few years ago as a way to lose the weight gained over christmas and New Year. I found out what the 1941 ration was, what wasn't rationed (potatoes and turnips, basically) and went out every Saturday to buy a week's worth.
It was awful. What did me in was cheese, or rather the lack of. Looking sadly at that tiny matchbox-sized lump every Saturday afternoon was agony. I started to really empathise with Ben Gunn.
