For us the main meal of the day was always at mid-day.It was always a proper cooked meal. No salad,(rabbit food dad always called it!) even in hot weather.
It was potatoes in some form every day.
veg from the garden.
Meat- mince beef,chops,etc..We hardly ever had chicken and never in the week.
FRidays was always fish.with chips
,or white sauce

Rice was only ever used in pudding & Pasta came in tins and was eaten on toast for tea!
Couscous polenta(sp?) were unheard off.
Puddings were FANTASTIC
Fruit crumbles,pies,bread and butter pud,spoted dick &custard (birds out of a tin),treacle pud, jam rolly-polly,etc.....How come we were all so skinny!
Sunday Lunch was always roast beef,and all the trimmings.Then us kid were packed off to Sunday school!
Fruit-We had apples,oranges,bananas,and pears all year round. Grapes were sent to people in hospital! All other fruit was seasonal.Strawberries were only available early summer, plums late summer.No exotic fruit at all!
I can remember when mum first bought yogurt.None of us liked it,Dad said it tasted like sick!
We had tea when we got home from school.
Sometimes sanwiches and cake.If it was cold we had toast with either, cheese,egg,sardines,
pasta, or beans.
Saturday lunch was always a mixed grill or a big fry up!
If we made our own sandwiches it was usually home made jam,but also remember eating salad cream or brown sauce on bread(yuk!)
