So many interesting things here: first, only .5L of vodka per month? That surprises me, as I know people who would go through that in a single weekend, let alone an entire month... especially in Poland, known for their drinking culture, that little amount of (what seems to be cheap to produce) alcohol is striking. Second, these are all just staples: the only real things one could make out of these rations are bread, meat, and rice—which is odd in of itself: I wouldn't expect rice to be a part of the Polish diet. I'm assuming vegetables and other foods like that weren't rationed, and/or people grew it themselves.
