Is that not a lot of sugar for how few ingredients to use it with?
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.
Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
Wasn't Poland famously invaded for that land?
Not sure. It may be that it looks like a lot simply because we're used to modern foods having sugar pre-added?
Sugar + yeast = booze
