Hi there going by what my Grandmother use to tell us, it was very basic, as they grew there own vegetables made there own icecream, cream, and use to milk their cows and goats.
If meat was needed and they could afford it, they had a man deliver it and it was kept in an ice box, about 1/4 size of a fridge, it would stay there for weeks, everything was natural back then, like baking there own bread, cookies, cakes.
My Grandfather use to catch rabbits and kill skin, boil them to them that was normal. It was very rare to have treats, only boiled lollies, my family was very poor, but not to the point they begged, everything was just different to todays lifestyle.
There were no takeaways, no coffee houses, etc.
So really whatever they did to survive they did.
Aren't we lucky?
Hope that has helped.
