[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9773182, member: 6716779"] I don't like gravy so yeah. Wife had something similar when she was young. We had the Edmunds cook book. Not much selection pre 1990s. Very little immigration, food was based off British cooking, American fast food didn't arrive until the 70s and only then in the cities. Small town NZ in 80s your fast food options were fish and chips or Chinese. The cheese was Americanized style and burgers were a bit exotic. No burger bars or anything so usually home made. Spices were pepper and mustard. Everything shut at 5pm at the latest, shopping in the weekends was illegal. At one point pubs and bars had to shut by 6pm. My town of 12000 lacked McDonalds until 1995, KFC until 1991. Your local burger place, Chinese place and fish and chip shop were the same place. 1 hour drive if you wanted KFC, Pizza Hutt was something you saw on TV, Greek or Turkish was a 3 hour drive. Seinfeld went completely over my head. [/QUOTE]
