Reading through some 1950s recipes makes me realize how different cuisine was in the U.S. back then. Before World War II, there wasn't a lot of foreign influence except in the high-end restaurants. A lot of Americans were simply eating for nourishment -- they prepared meals using whatever was on hand, and except for baking, there wasn't a lot of thought given to recipes or ingredients. My parents were in college together in the early 1950s. My mom told me once about one of my father's professors inviting them over to his house for dinner. He served them pizza. My parents had never seen a pizza before. Mom said it was embarrassing because they didn't know how to eat it.
