Abstract
This chapter uses a new source to shed some light on the story of food consumption in Britain during the Second World War, and, in doing so, to examine wider issues relating to the study of food consumption in history. We touch on the existing literature on food, and then use the evidence of some wartime letters to comment upon it. We then show how this new evidence can advance current debates on gender and class in the Second World War.KeywordsFood ConsumptionSocial EliteDinner PartyRation CardOral History InterviewThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
