It's hard to tell what everything is in black and white. What is all this?

From the site I got it from, "This photograph shows the amounts of butter, milk, bacon, lard, sugar, cheese, tea and jam received by two people per week in Britain."

Was wondering the same. My guesses, clockwise from the top:

  • milk
  • tea?
  • meat
  • chocolate
  • salt?
  • bacon?
  • sugarcubes
  • cheese
  • butter
