We have had no general complaint of any shortage of rusks, except in the case of one manufacturer's products.
Rusks may be bought with the points in the child's ration book, and all children receive the same number of points as adults.
If it is necessary to expand the payment of compensation, it is necessary to look at all these rusks and to see that the payment is correctly spread.
Rusk is made by turning flour into toast and then grinding it up, which is an awful waste of fuel and labour.
As our advice is that rusks are not essential for the feeding of babies, we cannot give them any special priority in the allocation of scarce ingredients, like sugar.
And can rusks be substituted for groats?
Many bakeries, delis and home industries also sell commercial rusks, sometimes made from non-traditional ingredients, such as baking powder rather than sourdough.
Thus, it can be described as a twice-baked food (see under rusk).
