I'm not particularly attached to a brand, however, so I could probably fit in with whatever was available in the UK in WW2...Tanya Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06108678275615460098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764223022607739789.post-64874080270555792632010-06-21T10:41:42.286-05:002010-06-21T10:41:42.286-05:00Angie - store-bought oatmeal squares, granola bars...Angie - store-bought oatmeal squares, granola bars and Eggos are not available during rationing, as they (or similar items) were not produced until well after WWII and *plain* yogurt is available in only very limited quantities (that is, of course, unless we make our own from scratch). Could you survive 6 months without those? <br /><br />Granola Girl - Totinos! Oh, how I love Totinos! We haven't had them in well over 6 months!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508984460309691709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764223022607739789.post-30957024066690101992010-06-21T00:07:26.373-05:002010-06-21T00:07:26.373-05:00Jules LOVES Feista Nacho Cheese glop by Cambells. ...Jules LOVES Feista Nacho Cheese glop by Cambells. It is disgusting, but he eats it with a bag of tortilla chips as nachos. Our son would mutiny if he wasn't allowed 1 Totinos pizza a month, and I have a bit of a disproportional obsession with Creme de Menthe lattes.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04249655831923837855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764223022607739789.post-8967588558232380352010-06-20T09:52:56.672-05:002010-06-20T09:52:56.672-05:00While i should probably wean myself off of Diet Dr...While i should probably wean myself off of Diet Dr Pepper, I have zero interest in doing this :) I dont' drink coffee and need a caffeine fix somehow. Our family are not big cereal eaters at all. We'll munch on dry cereal on occasion as a snack (oatmeal squares are the current item), but I rarely buy cereal because I think it's expensive. I eat a granola bar and a glass of milk every morning or have a yogurt. The girls usually have an Eggo or toast with honey. Brooke is a horrible breakfast eater, and she seems to think that Grilled Cheese or PBJ are breakfast items so she has that on occasion. Turkey bacon is a morning staple around here too. <br /><br />But back to the original question, aside from DDP, we could probably survive said rations. It might be hard to not have cheetos as a back up side dish for lunch, or give up gold fish crackers, but other than that...!angie chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08841602553520989108noreply@blogger.com
