Not sure what this whole thing about tinned meat is. Recovery from WWII was hard on Britain more than the rest of Europe, because we didn't get any overseas aid. That's probably why the majority of households had to use what was available and cheap.
As I recall, and I'm hardly an expert, Britain wasn't fully recovered form WWI rationing when WWII hit. Add to that recovery time (rationing into the mid 1950s), and you have about a half-century of being under food rationing. Point being that that can't help anyone's national culinary traditions.

Sure I have. Just not from Britain
