If You Were A Child Of The 60’s You Should Remember Most Of This

If you love food but were a child of the 60’s you should remember most of this:

Pasta had not been invented.

Kebab, was not even a word, never mind a food.

Curry was an unknown entity. Indian restaurants were only found in India.

The only vegetables were spuds, peas, carrots, turnip, cauliflower and cabbage. Mange tout and Pak choi were made up words. Chilli was in South America and scotch bonnets were worn by old ladies in Aberdeen.

A take-away was a mathematical problem.

A pizza was something to do with a leaning tower.

Oil was for lubricating your bike chain not for cooking.

Olive oil was kept in the medicine cabinet.

Spice went in Christmas cakes (and so did peel, Yuk).

Herbs were used to make medicine I think.

All crisps were plain.

All soft drinks were called pop.

Coke was something that we put on the fire, we never drunk it and we certainly didn’t sniff it.

Ginger beer burnt your lips off, when you stopped drinking.

Rice was a milk pudding, and never, ever part of our dinner.

A Big Mac was what we wore when it was raining.

A microwave was science fiction

Tea was made in a teapot using tea leaves. The tea-cosy was the forerunner of all energy saving devices. Tea had only one flavour, it was tea flavoured

Figs and dates appeared every Christmas, but no one ever ate them.

Coconuts only appeared when the fair came to town.

Mayonnaise was called Salad cream.

Hors d’oeuvre was a spelling mistake.

Dinner consisted of what we were given, and not negotiable.

Only Heinz made baked beans.

Leftovers went in the dog.

Sauce was either brown or red.

Eating raw fish was called madness, not sushi.

The only ready meals came from the fish and chip shop.

Frozen food was called ice cream.

Nothing ever went off in the fridge because we never had one.

None of us had ever heard of yoghurt.

Brunch was not a meal.

Cheese only ever came in a hard lump.

If we had eaten bacon, lettuce and tomato in the same sandwich we would have been certified insane.

Eating outside was called a picnic not Al Fresco.

Seaweed was not a recognised food.

Eggs were not called ‘free range’ they just were, and the shells were white.

Pancakes were only eaten on Pancake Tuesday – it was compulsory.

The phrase “boil in the bag” would have been beyond our realms of comprehension.

The term “oven chips” would not have made any sense at all.

We bought milk and cream at the same time, in the same bottle, before you gave it a shake.

Prunes were purely medicinal.

Pineapples only came in chunks in a tin.

We didn’t eat Croissants because we couldn’t pronounce them, we couldn’t spell them, and we didn’t know what they were for Baguettes (see Croissants).

Garlic was used to ward off vampires in films, but never to be eaten.

Water came out of the tap,if someone had suggested bottling it and charging for it

they would have been locked up….
