The answer to this question is in a book called 'The Englishman's Food' by JC Drummond and Anne Wilbrahim, in a final chapter by Dorothy Hollingsworth added to a 1958 revised edition. Dorothy writes: 'Meat rationing..finished on December 15th 1919, the rationing of butter on May 30th, 1920, and of sugar on November 29th, 1920. March 31, 1921 saw the end of the control of flour milling...' Posted by Helen Johnson
Fourteen years of food rationing in Britain ended at midnight on 4 July 1954, when restrictions on the sale and purchase of meat and bacon were lifted. This happened nine years after the end of the war.
When the war ended in August 1945, rationing was only gradually phased out as Australia continued to support Britain with food parcels and exports for a number of years.
Sugar rationing, for instance, was finally abandoned in July 1947. A major increase in the world production of sugar meant that Britain no longer depended on Australian supplies.
The meat situation was quite different. In Britain the meat ration had been further reduced and in an effort to support the British public, the Australian Government maintained meat rationing and price controls until 1948.
The American influence on Australia's eating habits persisted after the war as well. Coca Cola, tinned spaghetti, Spam and Hamburgers became part of the Australian way of life as did supermarket shopping. Dr Jim Graham recalls Freecorns setting up its first supermarket in Napoleon Street. He describes it as a revolutionary new fad that gave Cottesloe its first taste of self-serve shopping
I varys depending on which type of food. For example, I believe that bread (please correct me if I am wrong) was still rationed into the 1950s and possibly the 1960s. Sorry that the answer is a bit vague and poor.
