Oliver Twist diet 'was not so bad'
The workhouse diet depicted in Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist does not sound too appetising, with its thin gruel, an onion twice a week and half a roll on Sunday.
However, it may not have been quite so bad nutritionally, researchers have claimed.
According to a study published in the British Medical Journal, the gruel was substantial thanks to its oatmeal and may even have been better than the processed meals that many children are sustained by today.
"Given the limited number of food staples used, the workhouse diet was certainly dreary, but it was adequate," the scientists concluded.
Anyone trying the diet in the 21st century would be forgiven for not asking for more, though.
