J.J. Interesting what Americans were eating in the 50s, but so bland.. Not to say one was better then the other, but perhaps with differences that reflected the conditions we each lived by. The following is what we were eating in not just the 50s, but the 40s in as well. Ours was not so pretty as depicted in the lovely photos, but the food was little different. Even in the war and after, we were well off if to forget sweets and some spices. My self was very young during the German occupation, but do remember much in the year 1945 to the time of the British occupation. www.copenhagenet.dk/cph-eating.htmKarl |

John, You opened my memory with your post!
I agree with Karl, it was bland, but almost the same as in Poland in 60s as far as I can remember. We did not know pizza, my dad was the only one who was into spicy food, he learned it in Hungary, he was adding hot paprica to some food, but he was an unusual man.
we had cabbage, beets, soups, but not pizza, oranges only during winter.
I guess, you guys already started to have McDonald?

Karl and Jaga,
The Danish food presented sure does look good. Better than what I can remember. Salted herring (Schmaltz) prepared by by mother has the fondest memory.
Jaga I believe McDonolds was operating but I don't remember seeing it until later.

Jaga I believe McDonolds was operating but I don't remember seeing it until later. J.J. Herring is good, yes. Also I see you are not a stranger to fish,,. I do miss some of the foods that also was available in Germany using some of the receipts we used in Denmark. The former husband of Aunti and brother in law of mothers, was Norwegian. Not sure how he peed off every one, for his name was forbidden to be used in the house. What I gather was he was a very well educated man and handsome. He did leave a legacy around the house though, for we did have Lutefisk and Lefse Aunti would fix. What I do miss and it seems not available in Mexico, is Fish Soup {Fisksuppe}. When to ask of it, what I receive is a blank stare.. www.norway-hei.com/fish-soup.htmlKarl |
