So I guess along with @lizhou I was also culturally deprived. But I do remember the game we ate (my father shot them)... pigeon, pheasant, duck, rabbit, hare, etc which cost an arm and a leg to day but we ate regularly as you did not need a ration book to acquire them.
Yes, bacon was one of the first foods to be rationed (1940) and remained so until July 4th, 1954. Even after that, it was still difficult to find for quite a while.
