Imperial War Museum - The Ministry of Food
“The Ministry of Food examines how the British public adapted to food shortages during the Second World War, learning how to be both frugal and inventive on the ‘Kitchen Front’.
Marking the seventieth anniversary of the introduction of food rationing in Britain, the exhibition shows that growing your own food, eating seasonal fruit and vegetables, reducing imports, recycling, and healthy nutrition were just as important in 1940 as they are today.
The exhibition runs from 12 February 2010 – 3 January 2011.
Sponsored by Company of Cooks
Imperial War Museum London is open daily from 10.00am – 6.00pm (closed on 24, 25, 26 December).”
