Г. Митя, ну нельзая же так, вот читайте и верьте своим глазам.
The weekly allowances of foodstuffs for each adult were:-
Food Rations for 1 Week for 1 Person
4oz bacon or ham
8oz sugar
2oz tea
2oz jam spread
1oz cheese
1 shilling's worth of meat
8oz fats of which only 2oz could be butter
Later sweets and tinned goods could be had on a points system.
Bread was not rationed until post war in 1946.

К сведению: две унции эт 50грамм.
И еще разные талоны на одежду, которые не у всеx xватало просто денег отоварить, на жрачку уxодило.
Или вот, развлекитесь:
Butter was rationed at two ounces (50g) per week and was usually reserved for Sunday tea. A friend of mine, whose father was a local preacher, went out for Sunday tea to a farmhouse. The lady of the house, preparing tea, put the week’s ration of butter in the oven to soften but forgot to take it out when she had sliced the bread. When she remembered to open the oven the butter had completely melted into a pool of liquid. She was unruffled by the apparent disaster and gently dipped each slice of bread into the butter dish saying, "It’ll be alright when it’s cooled off."
There were no brand names for margarine during the rationing years; the Ministry of Food controlled the ingredients. There were two types of margarine: standard at five pence a pound and special at nine pence a pound. Sometimes margarine was sold loose but it was mostly sold in half-pound packets; the standard variety had a blue label and the special an orange one. The ration was a quarter of a pound weekly, divided equally between the two types; this meant a lot of cutting and weighing for the shopkeeper. Lard was very scarce so the two-ounce (50g) ration of fat was made of compound cooking fat that was as hard as brick. You could easily strain your wrists rubbing it into the flour while making pastry.
The tea coupon in the ration book had to be cut out each month for the half-pound allowance. Those living alone usually had a quarter of tea each fortnight with their other rations. The cost of a week’s rations with the tea came to just over three shillings (15p) while a normal week’s rations came to two shillings and three half pence (around 10p). Old Martin would come for his rations on a Monday morning and say, "Is it a two and three ha’pence week or a three and two ha’pence week?"
The ‘D’ and ‘E’ coupons in the ration books were known as Personal Points – they were for sweets and chocolates. The wartime allowance was half a pound every four weeks but later the ration was increased by four ounces (100g), the D coupons were still worth 1oz but the E coupons were increased to 2oz each. As supplies were ‘zoned’ there was a limited choice. In our area Rowntrees chocolates, Trebor sweets and Bassetts Allsorts were the main supplies. Products from Cadburys and Mars were unavailable; they were limited to the South of England.
