I imagine there are food items which aren't rationed, because there's no fruit or vegetables here. If you grew your own fruit and had sugar you could preserve it as jam. The sugar helps prevent spoilage. Or if you grew rhubarb you could make a pie, which would be pretty darn sour without sugar.
It's the cigarettes that kill me!
Apparently it's not just you, cigarettes are killing several people.
They’ve killed at least 2 people, maybe three people. It’s really hard to say
You are assuming they have land to grow those fruits and vegetables on.
I'm assuming someone was able to grow some, or they too would have been rationed. Whether anyone could afford them is another matter.
Wasn't Poland famously invaded for that land?
