By Christmas 1944 the food situation was deteriorating in Guernsey and Mr Ernest Stead
By Christmas 1944 the food situation was deteriorating in Guernsey and Mr Ernest Stead, after reading cash and carry in British restaurants in England, conceived the idea of running a cash and carry feeding centre to which people bought their own foodstuffs. The people bought 2 on macaroni, 2 oz meat and half pound of potatoes per week, plus whatever root vegetables they could, this was made into soup and sold for 7 and a half chillings per quarter.
