Assuming you grew your own vegetables, maybe could fish if you had any skill.
I feel it's missing eggs. Fantastic protein source. No bread ? Are you supposed to make it yourself?
I see it excludes bread. What kinda cans would you get ? Beans spam maybe
They called them Victory Gardens
Oh I know. I remember doing WW2 at school and we made Victoria gardens. So I suppose they'd have chickens too
Wouldn't citizens be expected to raise their own chickens, which would provide eggs? That's how it was in the US so I assume it's the same overseas.
