摘要

In 1947-amid rationing, fuel shortages, mass unemployment and, after a cryogenic winter, floods and drought-the British government introduced the snoek, a relative of the barracuda, to a hungry nation. It tried to convince sceptics of the imported fish's appeal with recipes such as "snoek piquante" ("4 spring onions, chopped; liquid from snoek; 4 tablespoons vinegar; 1_2 can snoek, mashed..."). A redoubtable correspondent told the Times that he had "the greatest respect for [the snoek] as an article of diet. It tastes like a mackerel, only more so."rnDuring the "winter of discontent" of 1978-79, the city of Hull earned the sobriquet "the second Stalingrad". Pickets prevented chemotherapy chemicals leaving the docks for hospitals. Farmers dumped dead piglets outside the office of the hauliers' union.rnBritain nurtures two utterly contradictory notions of its character in times of hardship. One is dogged, stoic, phlegmatic-the Britain of make-do-and-mend, of snoek and orderly queues outside half-empty shops, and the thwarted dignity of the "hunger marches" of the 1930s. The other image is of rout and chaos: strikes, riots, rubbish mountains in Leicester Square, the legendary bodies that went unburied, three-day weeks, devaluations and imf bail-outs. Which of these historical archetypes might the recession of the late noughties most closely resemble?
