Looking Back To The 1950's.

Looking Back To The 1950's. It's hard to believe, but this is true.

*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.
*Potato chips were all just plain.
*Rice was a milk pudding, and never, ever part of our dinner.
*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 and 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.

*Sugar enjoyed a good press in those days, and was regarded as being white gold.

*Surprisingly muesli was readily available. It was called cattle feed.

*Pineapples came in chunks in a tin; we had only ever seen a picture of a real one.

* Water came out of the 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 ever had on/at our table in the fifties...was elbows, hats and there was no cell phones!

 Being familiar with all on your list. Not from the one year I thoroughly enjoyed closing out a remarkable decade but the one thing I am reminded of here everyday.It's not writing a blog.It's what we do with them.It was my pathway drug to a life long back and forth with caffeine.
Have you guessed me yet?
Using more than all the road!

 And life was soooo much better! Simple--leave your doors unlocked knew everyone for miles around-- always willing to help a person in need. We could go anywhere anytime day or night and not be afraid of making it home unharmed.

 Hamburgers a plenty, but no chicken sandwiches. That came in 1964.
