War and Food

The war and food During the war years in Norway 1940 to 1945 there was little food, but the coast was teeming with fish, my brother and I often walked down to the pier and in a matter of minutes had dinner. Needs make you into a thief we stole potatoes, apples and coal for the fire. We had a variety of fish like boiled, fried or made into fish-cakes, but in the process I developed a lifelong dislike of fish, but I do eat fish as long as it doesn`t like aquatic vertebrate. After the war nicking food was no longer seen as legal but with food in shops it was no longer needed
