EATING IN THE FIFTIES
 
*Pasta was not eaten in Australia.
*Curry was a surname.
*A takeaway was a mathematical problem.
*A pizza was something to do with a leaning tower.
*All potato crisps were plain; the only choice we had was whether to put the salt on or not.
*Rice was only eaten cooked in milk, as a pudding.
*Calamari was called squid and we used it as fish bait.
*A Big Mac was what we wore when it was raining.
*Brown bread was something only poor people ate.
*Oil was for lubricating, fat was for cooking.
*Tea was made in a teapot using tea leaves. These were never green.
*Sugar enjoyed good press in those days, and was regarded as being white gold. 
*Cubed sugar was regarded as posh.
*Chicken didn’t have fingers in those days.
*Eating raw fish was called poverty, not sushi.
*None of us had ever heard of yoghurt.
*Healthy food consisted of anything edible.
*People who didn’t peel potatoes were regarded as lazy.
*Indian restaurants were only found in India.
*Cooking outside was called camping.
*Seaweed was not a recognised food.
*“Kebab” was not even a word, never mind a food.
*Prunes were medicinal.
*Muesli was readily available; back then it was called cattle feed.
*Water came out of the tap. 
*If someone had suggested bottling it and charging more than petrol for it, they would have become a laughing stock!
*But the two things that we never, ever had on our table in the fifties! Elbows or phones!

My children and grandchildren are all very aware that they will be dressed somewhat appropriately (no undershirts or clothing with inflammatory language, boys and men will wear shirts, no bathing suits, etc.), no cuss words, no hats and everyone will thank who ever prepared the meal and Mom before asking to be excused when they sit at my table . Just the way it is.
