[quote=Anonymous]OP, I just made lamb chops, mac and cheese, and corn on the cob for my kids. The lamb was seasoned with Indian spices that you couldn't get in the 1970s. But the seasoning really enhanced the taste, making it more likely to be consumed. It also wasn't easy to always find lamb, plus it was pricey. We only got a leg at easter.
The mac and cheese was frozen from WF. It was delicious, however, in the 1970s. My mother might have been too tired to add cheese to the mac that she boiled; or she would not have wanted to waste a lot of cheese on it, so it would have been less cheesey. 
This meal took me about 25 minutes (plus lamb marinade 15 minutes). 
Bottom line, food more tasty, food all gone. 
Followup with almond cranberry cookies bought from the store. High quality, tasty, will be eaten. 
There is usually a salad, but they ate grapes and peaches before dinner.

For breakfast they have these HUGE bagels. When I was in college, 1980, we ate the tiny Lenders Bagels.

I recall us leaving the table early back then, food just wasn't a big deal. [/quote]
