[QUOTE="Bogweevil, post: 8034674, member: 48190"] The National Loaf was a bread made from 85% extraction wholemeal UK grown flour, without rye or barley it seems, with added calcium and vitamins, introduced in Britain during the Second World War. The loaf was abolished in October 1956. Apparently it was rather nasty, unsurprisingly perhaps given the low gluten content of contemporary UK wheat cultivars and the lack of the Chorleywood process to bash air into the soggy dough to make our current loaf. Of course the potato is THE famine food producing more calories per hectare than anything else. [/QUOTE]
