[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Macadamia nuts. They were only gifts from people, rarely, traveling to Hawaii.[/quote]

Oh, good one!

Macadamia nuts were my mother's fave, and they were very much a luxury. We rarely had them, and when we did they were hers lol -- we could have a few but that was it. [/quote]

I only had these once in my younger life, when a relative brought them back from Hawaii.

Avocados were such a luxury that I didn't even know what one looked like until the 1990s. [/quote]

Millennials get so confused about the boomer reaction to "avocado toast" lol ... but they truly were a luxury. Not at all like now. [/quote]

I have a 50s Era cookbook geared toward rich housewives throwing dinner parties and one of the salads is half an avocado, cut up and returned to the shell, drizzled with chili sauce. To be served before the lobster Newburg.[/quote]

Yep. Lol. Sounds about right. We had avocado in our salads at holidays -- and that was it. [/quote]
