The same thing happened to France, except even harder. They were occupied, most of their food was siphoned directly into Germany (they wanted France, among other reasons, for its fertile farmlands) and water was so rare that most people could barely afford to wash themselves (giving rise to the American stereotype that the French don't shower). You know what the end result of all that rationing and starvationg was? Nouvelle cuisine, the new standard of international haute cuisine.

But then again, we're comparing the country that made stale bread taste good (french toast) to the country that puts toast on bread (toast sandwich).
