My child is learning about rationing and world war 2, only being allowed 1 egg, 2 ounces tea/butter a week etc.
When the rich went to high class restaurants, how did they dine out? I’m assuming the hotel/restaurant had some sort of growing area for veg, chickens etc, or was there a lot of black market dealing going on?
Tea at the ritz, dinner at claridges etc. what went on to allow the rich to carry on acting rich?

I have a question about rationing: did it mean that the only way to get food was to use ration cards or grow it yourself, or did grocery stores still carry food to buy?
What if you needed more food that you were allotted by the ration cards, was there anything you could do?
