Eating in the 1950s
Pasta
had not been invented. It was macaroni or spaghetti.
Curry
was
a surname.
A
take-away was a mathematical problem.
Pizza?
Sounds like a leaning tower somewhere.
Bananas
and oranges only appeared at Christmas time.
All
chips were plain.
Oil
was used for lubricating, fat was for cooking.
Tea
was made in a teapot using tea leaves that were never green.
Cubed
sugar was regarded as posh.
Chickens
didn't have fingers in those days.
None
of us had ever heard of yogurt.
Healthy
food consisted of anything edible.
Cooking
outside was called camping.
Seaweed
was not a recognized food.
"Kebab"
was not even a word, never mind a food.
Sugar
enjoyed a good press in those days, and was regarded as being
white
gold.
Prunes
were medicinal.
Surprisingly
muesli was readily available. It was called cattle feed.
Pineapples
came in chunks in a tin: we had only saw pictures of a real
ones.
Water
came out of a tap. If someone had suggested bottling it and charging
more than gasoline for it, they would have become a laughing stock.
The
one thing that we never
had on
or at our table in the fifties ...
were elbows, hats and cell phones.
