Abstract

The book pinpoints the public nature of wartime communal feeding policies as the main aspect that differentiated wartime schemes from the Victorian soup kitchen that preceded them. Unlike its discussion of National Kitchens, the book's argument for the significance of Second World War schemes within the wider context of wartime food policy is less robust. Historians studying food in the two world wars in Britain have often focused on rationing as the most significant policy in securing the British people's nutrition under wartime conditions of scarcity.
