Time for some Humour

.

YOU WOULD REMEMBER THIS !

Not ageing ourselves

IN THE FIFTIES and SIXTIES :

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 I

was raining.

Brown bread was something only poor

people ate.

Oil was for lubricating, fat was for cook-

ing.

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.

Healthy food consisted of anything edible.

People who didn't peel potatoes were

regarded as lazy.

Indian restaurants were only found in In-

dia.

Cooking outside was called camping.

Seaweed was not a recognized food.

"Kebab" was not even a word, never mind a

food.

Prunes were medicinal.

Surprisingly, muesli was readily available,

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 one thing that we never ever had

on our table in the sixties ..." Elbows or

Phones.
