Well, not quite, we had 2 of the 3, post WWII, but you did have to make curry yourself and find the spices first, Yogurt had to be ordered from the milkman who would deliver it with the milk, or purchased at one of the milk farmers, at the farm. I never saw kebabs until the 90s, I think that they might have been around before that, but there few outlets of that kind on RAF camps. 🙂 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Old fashioned 50s curry was made using gravy, curry powder, sultanas and the leftovers from the Sunday roast. Curry also appeared on the 27th December as a way to dispose of the last edible scraps of the turkey. For extra sophistication, the turkey curry could have the remains of the cranberry sauce incorporated as well as the sultanas! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted December 13, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) Curry was known in the 50s*, a Take Away was Fish & Chips Cooking outside was when you'd been evicted. Yoghurt came from the milkman and tasted foul. *In fact Curry had been known since the start of British Empire in India and was available in certain places in the UK.

Definitely American though. Most of the stuff on that list would have still been rationed for much of the 1950s in the UK and even when that ended many items were in short supply or very expensive. I have a feeling that's why many people who grew up Post War Britain have a very sweet tooth. I still get bombarded with sweets from older relatives! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
