Yes, I was told that. I had visions of my pie and chips on a plane to Ethiopia.
There was none of today's spoilt way of living either, with each member of the family expecting a different meal. It was one type of meal for that particular day and all in the family would have the same. We always knew what was for dinner, depending on what day it was. Also there were none of today's fussy eaters either. That today probably accounts for each child in the family expecting a different meal. In my early days food was rationed, waste just wasn't tolerated.

Wasn't even heated up either, bleugh!
