Wartime rationing is responsible for a lot of food descriptions in mid-century British children's writing. Rationing went on for 14 years iirc.

Yeah, it didn't finish until 1955, though it got less bad as time went on. My grandparents moved to South Africa in 1950 and were greeted with a basket of food and fresh fruit. They thought this was their ration for the month and were astounded to find that no, it was a welcome gift.

In the couple of years after the war rationing intensified, not only was the UK having to shoulder the burden of trying to feed Mainland Europe, but the US cut off all food aid to the UK too. The land was basically exhausted after years of intensive food production, prior to the introduction of chemical fertilizers, too, so the UK could barely feed itself and its returning troops. To which India, no doubt, gave a long hard bitter laugh and said "what goes around, sahib, what goes around".
