Only the poor ate brown bread
Only the poor ate uncooked fish, sushi had not been heard of
No one ate seaweed
Cube sugar on the table meant some one of importance was coming
Bread was sliced at home
Food was cooked in fat, oil was what you put in the car engine
Potatoes were always peeled unless baked jacket.
Tea was made with tea leaves in a pot, never green and no strings attatched.


Happy daze John in Oz.
