On November 29, 1942, coffee become one of the items rationed due to war time shortages. It remained rationed until June of 1947. Come along with Tidbits as we drink coffee! RATIONS • Coffee wasn’t in short supply when it was rationed. In fact, there was record coffee production in Latin American countries at the time. However, the growing demand for coffee from both military and civilian sources, and the demands placed on shipping, which was needed for other purposes, required rationing. Shortages were rarely the reason for rationing during the war. Rationing was generally employed either to guarantee fair distribution of resources and foodstuffs to all citizens or to give priority to military use for certain materials. About one-third of all food commonly consumed by civilians was rationed at one time or another during the war, including butter, sugar, milk, and gasoline. REPEAT AFTER ME: • In Arabic, the phrase ‘qahhwat al-bun’ meant ‘wine of the bean.’ That was shortened to ‘qahwa’ which the Turks pronounced ‘kahve’ which was borrowed by the Dutch as ‘koffie’ which was turned into the English ‘coffee.’ WANT TO RUN YOUR OWN BUSINESS?
