The alimentation of the civil population was an important economic-social problem for the countries participating in WWI. Shortages of food became one of the main issues of the major military actions; so, the war influenced the everyday life of the citizens. During the war the alimentary habits of the Pomeranians changed considerably. Levels of consumption fell drastically, and the quality of the everyday menu deteriorated. The war forced people to look for alternative solutions and use various substitutes, economise on resources and eat food which had hitherto been considered inedible. Analysis of food practices and the manner in which meals were prepared allows us to better understand other social phenomena in Gdańsk Pomerania during the Great War, e.g. the increase in the crime rate and the decline in moral values.
