In the first weeks of the Merced Assembly Center, much of the food was prepared by the incarcerated Japanese Americans. These internees did not have much experience in preparing foods and were made poorly. Some of the incarcerated Japanese Americans did not want to eat many meats such as liver, heart, and tripe as they were not accustomed to eating such foods. Many of the internees also established what they called "victory gardens" in order to provide their own produce.
