that tag didn't add much, B-

I recently joined a group - Baltimore Old Photos - that seems to really attract off-topic memes for some reason. The people there don't stand for it and it always gets taken down, but that doesn't stop them from trying. Here's last night's contribution.

yikes

i miss the old days when there was no food

brownies were elves

or coloureds

The first fish fingers were made by Birds Eye in 1955 at its factory in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk and the official launch took place on 26 September that year.

The first purely Indian restaurant was the Hindoostanee Coffee House which opened in 1810 at 34 George Street near Portman Square, Mayfair.

Riddled with inaccuracies this!

not the standard of accuracy I expect from a printed out and then photographed old cunt meme

My tolerance for posts featuring original dialogue accredited to Pooh and Piglet is long-exhausted, and it is a strain not to tell close family members where to stick it when it inevitably pops up.

the best part about these "drinking from the hose" memes is that they always unintentionally make the old days sound fucking horrible

What do they mean by "coffee was camp"?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Coffee

Parents used to have a bottle of Camp in the cupboard and to the best of my knowledge they never drank it. Mom might've used it for xakee flavouring maybe.

The label was a bit racist.

sound really yucky

The hell did this fucker eat

White bread and mutton i guess

for millennia before the invention of chicken tikka masala, britons mainly ate a thick brown slop composed of potatoes, assorted pig organs, and wool

Potatoes a new world food tho. Surprised this person ate potatoes in the 50s, rather foreign

The one thing that we never ever had on our table in the fifties ..
was all the delicious food I just mentioned
Fuck you!

I seen one today which was horrible - Union Jack coloured British Isles - "We are British. We Eat Meat. We Speak English" but I was too mortified to share

Real England

Things were great when they were crap

we didn't wear helmets, our drinking water was laced with lead, our parents were emotionally distant or openly abusive, and we carry numerous unexamined traumas from which we have suffered our entire lives, and this is a good thing.

That's the spirit.

wikipedia:
Laver seaweed has been cultivated as a food since at least the 17th century.

(this is in wales, which is in the uk iirc)

For the time being.

Cymruexit

I drank from the hose and then I ate the hose

drink full and descend

We drank our own pee and dreamed it was lemonade

Weird nostalgia for bygone days of poverty is definitely a thing, but it doesn't usually center on the wide variety of good food you didn't eat because you were too poor or ignorant. That author sounds terrified of other people making choices.

"Life expectancy was 65"

I drank from the hose and then I ate the hose
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

it's weird that the 50s are held up as the golden age of shit trad british food bc it was probably the biggest decade of growth for e.g. chinese and indian restaurants in the UK, at least in % terms. even my fusty grandparents ate pasta occasionally, and anglo-indian food like kedgeree had been around for 150+ years

big difference not listed there is that french cuisine was p much the first and last word in fine cuisine back then. old british ppl fkn love french food/butter/meat/death

Lol I am old

I drank from the hose and then I ate the hose
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

Not sure if this belongs on here or the right-wing cartoons thread, either way I "enjoyed" it

I like how that someone took the mildly clever cartoon and then explained the joke

In the 1960s cars were always parked

Hilarious tbh
