EATING IN THE FIFTIES and SIXTIES (so, so true)
Pasta was not eaten in Australia or N.Z.
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 as a milk 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 and never green.
Sugar enjoyed a good press in those days, and was regarded as being white gold. Cubed sugar was regarded as posh.
Fish didn't have fingers in those days.
Eating raw fish was called poverty, not sushi.
None of us had ever heard of yoghurt.

Seaweed was not a recognised food.
"Kebab" was not even a word, never mind a food.
Prunes were medicinal.
Surprisingly, muesli was readily available, it was called cattle feed.

BUT the one thing that we never ever had on our table in the sixties....Elbows or Phones
My mother did give me white bread with sugar on it for supper, and told me I didn't like mushrooms, garlic or ginger. But then I blame my mother for quite a lot - ! And on the plus side, she certainly did know what a "kobob" was - her childhood Calcutta (or Kolkotha) accent coming to the fore, there.
I have heard wonderful things about contemporary New Zealand cookery, but I haven't been able to get over my Kiwi friend's butterscotch meringue pie to investigate further. My teeth ache even now, thirty years later, just thinking about that pudding - the butterscotch as a tangy counterpoint to the meringue. Ow.

A wife comes home late one night and quietly opens the door to her bedroom.
From under the blanket, she sees four legs instead of just her husband’s two.
She reaches for a baseball bat and starts hitting the blanket as hard as she can.
Once she’s done, she goes to the kitchen to have a drink.
As she enters, she sees her husband there, reading a magazine.
He says, “Hi darling, your parents have come to visit us, so let them stay in our bedroom.
Did you say hello?”

This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things.
He immediately phoned the police, who asked, “Is someone in your house?” and George said, “No,” and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.
George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.
“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I’ve just shot them all.”
Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the policemen said to George, “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”
George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”

An atheist was walking through the woods and he said to himself.
'What majestic trees!'
'What powerful rivers!'
'What beautiful animals!'
As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.
He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charging towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him.
He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer.
He tripped and fell on the ground.
He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him and reaching for him with his left paw
and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant moment, the Atheist cried out:
'Oh my God!’;
Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky.
'You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist and even
credit creation to a cosmic accident. Now you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer'
The atheist looked directly into the light and said: 'It would be hypocritical
of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian?'
'Very well', said the voice.
The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his
right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head and spoke:
'Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from Thy bounty through Christ
our Lord, Amen.'
