I remember Spam from my childhood -- Mom used to stick cloves all over into
it, smother it with brown sugar and mustard, to make it edible. She
alternatively skewered pieces of Spam & pineapple and baked them.
Rabbit I've never eaten -- when I was 5 I received, as a Christmas present
from my parents, a beautiful, exceedingly soft, white, hat, gloves, and muff.
I adored them. Until I learned that they were rabbit fur. I threw them
away instantly.
Condensed milk was a necessary staple.
Condensed SWEETENED milk .....now there was heaven....

remembering not eating exactly nutritiously.

I didn't know that. Nor did I know till I looked up food
rationing just
now (puzzled because I remember its ending but the date didn't
make sense)
that we owe spam to the Yanks.... Condensed milk may be
home-grown.
I was protected from food rationing between 1948 and 1953 because
we lived in the depths of West Wales and so could eat poached
rabbit
and home-grown vegetables and farm eggs, but "luncheon meat"
loomed fairly large slightly later on.

good point. (The RAF got chocolate? I didn't know.)
