News from the Ministry of Food.............. July 1946 Hedgerow Harvest

An occasional look at the advice issued by the Ministry of Food in the years directly after the last world war.



Britain continued to ration food and so it made sense for the Government to offer a free advice service on how to plan prepare and cook meals. 

 Here are over the next few days are a selection of the advice issued by the Food Free Advice Service of the Ministry of Food. 

 It is dated July 1946 and was designed to encourage people to gather their own food.
