My parents weren’t rich, but my mum was quite posh. But they were hippies.
I never had a pair of “cool” trainers, we only had Tescos own brand stuff, but we’d have globe artichokes for dinner or sweetbreads or whatever

I remember going to other people’s houses and the Dad would talk about “too much garlic in that foreign muck”
I’d get the piss taken out of me because I’d never opened a can of pop.

I forget how far society changed

I'm sorry my dad made you uncomfortable, I also remember the battle to get him to consider eating rice or pasta

Was the Peter Kaye “garlic bread” sketch an actual documentary?

I remember my grandad having an existential crisis when he was served new potatoes “someone’s forgotten to peel these”
