Title: Rich Cake, 1944 [Go to resource]
Description: A fascinating glimpse at the kind of products Huntley & Palmers produced as part of the war effort. Food restrictions meant that the firm found it very hard to get ingredients for its cakes and biscuits. In 1943 the Ministry of Food allocated the factory 550 tons of potatoes for use in cakes! On the other hand, the tightly controlled war time ingredients were of a more uniform quality than in the past and no competitor could make substantially better products. This particular example would have been produced for use by the military, rather than for domestic consumption.
