As a migrant ,we experienced real racism, but the 70s and 80s were fantastic .People were able to take a joke, a factory worker could buy a house, and Rugby League was awesome .The bloke in the video is a snarky smartarse, who would have the smartarsedness punched out of him back then.
😅
Too right bloody drongo! I had a wonderful time in the 70's thank you. Shit now though. Children have no respect for their elders today! Not all but most.
So excuse me Mr Know it All. Go wash your mouth out with soap!
I'd go back to living in the 70's and 80's in a heartbeat ❤
Me too! ❤
same
No way imagine having a mobile phone in the 60s 70s 80s no waiting to use the phone clothing was sooo much more expensive nope plus I don't want to be 1970s being child again nope
I'm with you..
The time was a struggle establishing myself.
But the memories a priceless..🇦🇺
This bloke is taking 100% rubbish! Back in the 80's we had French, Italian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Greek cuisines to name a few. A Sunday roast was usually chicken or leg of lamb. Never heard of some of the rubbish he's sprouting. We also cooked 90% of meals from scratch not prepackaged like today. At least we had decent fruit shops, butchers unlike the rubbish supermarkets so today.
💯💯💯
The video was talking about the 70s, after the end of the White Australia policy. The food really improved in the 80s as a result but it wasn't evident in the 70s.
Many Australians would be much healthier with a meat and three veg diet instead of processed food. But hey, that's progressing 😅
Yes it was, we went to all sorts of ethnic restaurants for one@@Merrid67play
My brother & I were young kids growing up in Adelaide, South Australia 🇦🇺 in the 1970's. our parents were ten pound poms who'd migrated. The culture we grew up with was a reflexion of our English parents. We were given a lot of freedom as kids.
Yes, we had the meat & three veg most nights. I can't complain.
Kind regards
I still love my meat and three veg meals!
I still love my meat and three veg meals!
Most of the videos and information here related to the 1950s and mainly 60s.( I was born in the early 1950s.) The Aussie culture opened up and progressed considerably in the 70s and 80s.
The food was AWESOME!!
China Town in Sydney, I can’t remember the name of the restaurant, but the outdoor wood tables gave us splinters, the straws were paper in a bottle of coke that had to be opened with an opener. They collapsed after 2 slurps when you were a kid.😂
“Grandad” was in the corner making the noodle thingies for short soup, wearing a singlet & blue pants… the BEST food I have ever eaten at a restaurant in my life!!!! OMG! I’m 54 & I still dream about the food of my childhood & I’m not talking about lollies!!!😂
The restaurant name began with a D??? I think?? I was 7 years old or younger. Was it Dixons???
We often had home grown meat, hunted roo/rabbit/pigeon/yabbies/fish/crab, seafood/fish, Ozzie hamburgers, sausages… FAT sausages, home grown veg, the BEST apricots on the planet, oranges made in your dreams… we (here at my place now in 2024) have a mango orchard planted in the ‘80’s… GOLD!! Everyone loves mangoes… you, living in Britain, will only taste such mangoes on holiday. I’m sorry, but this is true. I won’t buy a mango from a supermarket ours are so good. I’d rather go without for a year or so.
Seriously this bloke is a DH!!!
The food was amazing, especially if all the women cooked like goddesses & the men knew how to cook on a fire. Then there were lambs & pigs on a spit & things cooked in wood stoves & open fires!!
This bloke is wrong beyond belief!!
NO ONE “normal” could afford a bloody microwave till the ‘90’s anyway!!! 😂😂
On & on I will go to defend my grandparents & parents… they (because not everyone one immigrated from Britain or had a closed palate) got us here!!
& not all of them drank or smoked!!!!
Sorry, this is wrong.
This bloke!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
DH!!!
This us a ridiculous video. All the old footage is from the late 50s to late 60s. Fashion and cars do not match the 70s. Even Menzies was not a prime minister in the 70s. Turning 15 in1980 I truly grew in in the 70s and have only fond memories of this time. The freedom and outdoor lifestyle was amazing, yeah the food was simpler but I don't remember not enjoying any of it
This whole video, was a multicultural exercise men't to bash British Australians! I grew up eating the very food they were slaging off, an still eat it today. But it's not like there was no pizza or pasta?
@@paulsandford3345 I still love prawn cocktails 🍸
@@glennrandall7468 I don't eat prawns, but I do drink cocktails! 🤣🍸🍹
Totally agree with you
The Whitlam government was not gotten rid of in 1975 in a military coup.
I'm not Australian, but the cars in Australia in the 1960s & '70s were so cool! The styling of the 1972 to 1978 Falcons was so beautiful!
My mother cooked her own beetroot. Dad would go up to the local park, behind the scouts hall where there was a monster pumpkin vine, were he would proceed to cut a free pumpkin which was so large it nearly didn't fit in the car. Then dad, and only dad would cut it with a machete as it was too hard a task for my mum to do. We had lots and lots of free chokos off the vine on the side fence. My mother-in-law showed me how to make an "apple" pie out of chokos and it was really nice. Food we ate a lot of, was offal and rabbits. Other families did not seem to eat a lot of what we ate, i.e. brains, kidney, liver, tripe, pigs trotters, tongue and if you were dad, black pudding! Although my best friends mum, would make "giblet" stew out of the chickens neck and intestines. At holidays, the men would catch schools of fish, not sure what limits or size restrictions there were back then, but it did not matter, if too small, the hessian bag would be dropped outside the kitchen full of fish, which were promptly minced up to make fish patties. To this day, there is very little I don't eat.
the theme of this video is some flog cherry picking information and making broad assumptions with missing context.
example, spam cupcakes? that would be like looking back on today 45yrs from now and saying men dressed like the weirdos at a fashion show. someone did but it's not normal.
the rum rebellion overthrew william bligh, you know...that tyrant that was so hated everywhere he went that he was the subject of a coup and a mutiny.
no fun on sundays because the shops were shut. shops are for buying stuff not for fun, in the60's and 70's people were surfing.sailing, racing motorcycles and cars, camping.fishing you name it people were doing it with far more freedom than today.
My Mum’s cooking in the 70s and before was fantastic. Hardly any tinned food. Dad went to the Vic market every Saturday and bought a stack of fresh vegetables. And mum bought fresh veggies from the local fruit shop if she ran out. I can’t remember mum burning anything . We used to say, ‘dad could burn water in a pot’lol. Mum got up around 6am every day. On a Sunday she’d put the leg of lamb in the oven on very low and cook it for hours, the meat would melt in your
mouth. She baked sweet pies from many of the fruit trees out the backyard, with home made pasty. Meat and veggies of a different variety every night. Mum and dad didn’t drink, not against it, they just didn’t like it. I got drunk twice in the 70s. Hated the taste and the feeling, that was the end of my drinking days lol.
My nan was born in 1885 and was still alive when I had my first child in 70s. Nans cooking was fantastic too. .
Oh yeah, our back door was never locked and front door key stayed in the door till mum and dad went to bed.
Great childhood, great food and fantastic parents and pretty good neighbours too. Bring back the 60s and 70s 😊
Dad passed in his sleep in his own bed aged 89. Mum passed after only one hour in hospital aged 95 - I had fantastic parents, I still miss them terribly and had a fantastic childhood here in Australia.
I grew up in the 70s. Standard dinners were roast chicken, lamb, sausages or lamb chops, served with mashed potatoes, carrots, peas or beans. Also spaghetti bolognaise, homemade soups, casseroles, toasted sandwiches, takeaway fish and chips or KFC. Pizza Hut was a treat. I recall going out to an Indonesian restaurant on a regular basis.
Pizza Hut and KFC only arrived in Australia in the 70s so they were a novelty then. But you can't exactly say they were an improvement on British cuisine.
@@Merrid67play I loved Pizza Hut back then. It was such a novelty.
I don’t know who this young fellow is, but I have never seen the products he keeps showing as the norm for the 70s housewife! He must have found them in some first edition cookbook that never had a second edition! We had a typical plate of meat and three vegies, always cooked from scratch. The only cans in our pantry were corn, jam, tuna, salmon, peaches, pie apples and such. Popular desserts included home made apple pie and ice cream, home made jelly and ice cream, home made rhubarb and ice cream, Christmas pudding with home made egg custard and ice cream. Vegies included fresh carrots, potatoes, fresh green peas in the shell, green beans, cauliflower with white sauce (Mum liked the white sauce, I preferred cauliflower steamed with a bit of a bite to it), home cooked beetroot (which I still cook to this day), chokos and spinach, all fresh. Salads consisted of tomato, lettuce, cucumbers, capsicum, hard boiled eggs, Kraft french dressing, packaged sliced ham or home made corned beef (from a pre-prepared side of beef from the butcher which we then boiled), bacon, etc. Cobb salads were popular.
The guy is MAYBE 50/50 on what he was talking about, Kabir...
(He also didnt look like he grew up in that time, so take his POV takes with a grain of salt)
As someone who grew up through the 80's, however...
I know that many international migrants started coming in during the 70's, because in the 80's we had the boom of international cooking isles at the supermarkets to accommodate them...with asian, indian, middle-eastern, and western european styles that weren't just British ways... this is where the boom of the fish & chip shops, chicken shops, kebab shops, vietnamese shops, etc...began to pop up.
Granted...
In the 70's and 80's, if you were discovered to be homosexual and you didnt have a tight-group who watched your back...you could be murdered, and the police wouldn't investigate it.
...conversely, though, Mardi Gras has been going for DECADES, and as the movie "The Adventures of Prascilla, Queen of the Desert" will atest, drag-queen scene in the metro-cities was very lively and active!
Was it perfect? No...
And "The Lucky Country" quote is true... but its true that the leaders were incompetent, and the people were resourceful and would band together... something I cant say is true anymore, what with too much American media in our country, and decades of Murdoch Media pumping peoples brains full of BS.
Check out “kingswood country” an Australian tv show
The best comparison would have to be the British show "Love Thy Neighbour." There's a lot of racial slurs, but the men making them are so ignorant that they're funny.
I grew up in the 80's and it was nothing like in the video, most of what was shown was from the 50's😅
The crime stats flashed in video were misleading. They showed 90’s till now. I was curious and did a tiny bit of research for crime rates prior to 80’s. They seem a lot lower than now. 80’s lower or equal to now. Peaked in the 90’s and slowly declining since but still not at pre 1980 levels.
So I’m taking everything else listed with a truckload of salt and skepticism.
The 80s was when the huge criminal drug trade was soaring, so the crime rate would have increased! Also motor bike gangs and other street crime!
Born at Waverley war memorial Hospital grew up in Coogee bay 55 years of age they were the best of times before the internet Sunday roast❤
No self-respecting wine connoisseur would be caught dead with a boxed wine in the house. It’s just for teens and twenties who want to drink at a party without spending a fortune on bottles of wine for 100 drinking buddies. It can also be a cheap way to have a chilled glass of wine without cracking open a whole bottle. They’re still around but I don’t drink enough to bother having a box in my fridge. I buy it by the glass when I’m at a nice restaurant, a smooth Merlot is perfect for me.
I was born in the 70s and the I've never heard of the most of those foods
Bondi Beach developed long sewer pipes out into Tasman Sea. Sometimes beaches were closed.
Eventually, a treatment centre was built.
The reason that wine in a box is called a 'goon bag', is that the cheaper wines were available in 'flagons'; these we large bulbous bottles, you could also get fortified wines(port, sherry, etc) as well.
And work great for our local people as shiny blow up pillows to passout in the park go cabbo gronks
I'm with those who think he got a lot wrong, e.g. living in Canberra in the 70s we had an amazing array of take-away available: in addition to your standard fish and chips/hamburgers we had Chinese, Indian, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese not to forget French and Italian.
But I think in general he was right - if you change the decades to the 50s and 60s.
That would have been the late 70s to early 80s, although there was an Australianised Chinese cuisine, since the Chinese have been here since the 1850s Gold rush. Most rural towns and city suburbs would not have had much in the way of Asian cuisine apart from the odd Chinese. Even Pizza Hut was a novelty in the 70s.
Back in the day, when bakeries didn't make bread on weekends, we used to buy "The Sunday Loaf", which was wrapped in tin foil, and finished cooking at home, when the loaf(s) you bought on Friday had been consumed.
I have a bread maker now, but nostalgically, "The Sunday Loaf" always tasted better.
Rabbits were introduced to Australia by the British back in colonial days. Reasoning "Well, they have to have something to eat!" Everyone knows how they breed, so we have a very cute type of pest. Hence, you can't have a pet bunny rabbit in Queensland. Personally, I'm too much of a softy and could never even hurt one, let alone kill one. The only type of rabbit 🐇 I could ever eat is of the chocolate variety. I have zero sympathy for those incredibly ungly, poisonous cane toads. They decided it was a great idea to introduce them to get rid of beetles that were eating sugar cane. With disastrous results.
Also, for a long time, Aussie men didn't understand that women might find them more attractive if they did something about their underarm b.o. Sadly some older ones still don't.
The mistreatment of our Indigenous peoples went on at least until the 70s when they were even legally recognised as being human.
The Sunday travelling to drink was true.
Travellers from Sydney to a residential hotel in the rural town of Wallacia could drink there as guests.
It is now an outer suburb of Greater Western Sydney.
The 70s and 80s was before the fun police and everyone was offended and couldn't leave home without their phone and hand sanitiser.
Born in 1970 in Canberra, after my father left the Air Force in 1968. This bloke is a bit young to accurately describe the 70s and 80s. Asian influences were beginning and there were lots of European immigrants that had been here for decades, so there was some variety. Microwaves weren't popular until the early 1980s.
Nothing like a millennial speaking with such authority of an era he has not experienced. To say that we lived on other people's ideas when Australians invented so much that was ground breaking shows the ignorance. I'm getting a bit sick of this cohort hating on our country.
What the hell would he know about the 60s 70s or 80s? He wouldn't even have been born then - maybe late 80s.
60s and 70s were awesome
He's looking at actual statistics from the time, actual news sources and cookbooks, and film clips probably from the National Sound and Film Archives. You don't have to be born in an era to research its history.
For the record, I grew up in the 70s/80s and I agree with most of it. He didn't actually touch on the stuff that was good about the era, but what he has covered accurately is a lot of the bad stuff about daily life.
Very entertaining! 😄 Luckily I grew up in the country, my grandmother cooked all day and we had several varieties of homegrown or local vegetables - and no microwave at all! We also had a fantastic fish and chips shop! I believe he forgot that essential larder item, tinned Spam! 😝 Oh yes, Sunday only church and family meals or picnics! 😌 Very harsh, no open culture, what about the Vietnam War Protests! My Nana even had Asian students renting rooms, pure white Australia? 🤔
gov here in qld hate rabbits and hares even released a virus to eradicate em
This child doesn't know what he's talking about.
Only the other day I was complaining this shit food is no where near like it used it be 🤬😳
My nana made the best food. The meat had beautiful gravy, the best baked potatoes. I agree we had too much English food it changed in the 80s for us. Wasn't I around in the 1960s . Our salads were beautiful. One thing we weren't overweight, junk food was KFC but we loved it meat pies, parsties, fish and chips, etc . The worst fast food came from the USA . McDonald's
One of our biggest companies for tinned fruit and juices is Golden Circle. Unfortunately, one of my big sisters has a mildly allergic reaction to pineapples 🍍 after having worked there.
Canned cold veg next to a chop of lamb or pork or massive steaks fresh from our paddock
There are some things that were better back in the day...but these things can be said about most western countries.
Clothes, toys and other products sold in shops were made better...I had Star Wars toys that probably originted from the 70's and 80's given to me...the figures were better quality than todays cheap, lightweight ones and the Milennium Falcon I had was diecast metal with opening and moving parts and plastic see through windows...today it will be light cheap plastic...same for Matchbox cars tht were all metal with opening doors and suspension...now all bases are plastic and 0% suspension and opening features are reserved for expensive special versions that don't even open properly. Many products have gone to crap.
LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂 Sony about that I shouldn't judge, but the way he described everything especially the food...😂😂😂
No, you can't own a pet rabbit in Queensland, because of their pest status. You can in other states, but you can't import rabbits to Australia at all except from New Zealand. Feral rabbits are still a significant agricultural pest.
it was just an easier time back then everything you ate was freshly made and you got out of the house as a kid to play until dusk I liked it
I was born in 1950 and he's spot on the money! My mum cooked everything until it was grey. The food was awful until about the 1980's. He forgot that women weren't allowed into the pub bars. They had to sit in the 'ladies lounge' so the men could swear in the bars.
Well that was your mother!!! My Mum a WRAAF cook from WW2 could create anything from everything on a WOODfired kitchen stove. Women sat in the main bars where I lived, but there were 2 registered clubs in town and most women would be there, and besides pubs were only busy after workhours , or weekends, and no pubs had any sort of betting.
I still make curried sausages, Pork or chicken, never red meat. I have a gourmet shop up the road, Malasyan, Tia sausages.
Curried snags is still one of my comfort foods during winter, even after all these 50 plus years.
His crime records, start in the 90s with the peak in 2000. I thought this was about the 70s and 80s.
Yes Kabir a lot of truth in that video, fair bit still happening today
70 's was the best !
I was born in 1950. There’s a kernel of truth to a lot of what he said but he’s exaggerated and twisted it to suit his narrative. Like much of the rest of the world at that time women had far less autonomy, people were more circumspect, more likely to be churchgoers and less materialistic right up until around the late seventies/early eighties.
Our conservative government of the 50s and 60s under Bob Menzies, a dedicated Anglophile, held us back a lot. Things started changing and moving forward in the early 70s after Gough Whitlam became PM and introduced reforms like the no fault divorce, universal health care, free university and the end of conscription. Although his term was cut short and a conservative government followed he had started the ball rolling.
With all due respect, this guy is not old enough to know what he's talking about (The original poster).
He's reading a script.
The reason of course, Rabbits breed like Rabbits 🐇 😊
I lived through the 60, 70s, 80s, and the seventies were terrible after 1975
This guy has no idea. He doesn’t even look like he was born in the same century as people( including me) who was actually alive in the 60’s. At least in the 60’s and 70’s you could go shopping or to church without being stabbed.
I was born 57. Grew up in 60s and 70s. He's pretty much on the money.
Hey Kabir,
I miss the "Elegance" that Women portraid.
Today, they are all dressed in Sports Gear when going to Dinner..
What is that about ?
Rubbish. Most of this is pre-70s. The food and clothing he is showing is not correct and two of those disgusting dishes were American. Meat and 3 veg was standard though. The dunnyman stopped wayyy before I was born in the 50's. That was my grandparents era!
You must have lived in a city. The dunny man was still a thing in the 70's (as was the tradition of putting out a 6-pack of beer for the garbos).
My dad came from Italy in the late 1960 married my mother and had me in 1970 we had better food then that when we were growing up we had spaghetti bog we would go camping dad would fish in the sea catch it and when he came back to the camp site my mum would make us go to the take out place to get 5 dollars worth of hot chips what that guy was saying was so false we tolet that flush that did not go in the sea my parents bought there house for 16 thousand dollars now that house is close too the million dollar now so go figure
AAH! THE 70s.. nothing better then sitting and looking into the oven waiting for the bread to be baked.. with lashings of honey hot from the oven.. cause when that bread was cold it was hard as a brick!! ... the unrecognisable dinners... cringing with the false sense of delight... dont get me started with the first half of the 80's
Mate, love your videos on Australia but the last few have been bullshit. PLEASE react to authentic sources. Cheers
This video is highly suspicious for you have a young person talking about a time in history when they weren't even thought of. Unless you've lived in that time as I have then you know nothing of day to day life from those times. The food was not bland and boring and an obese person, what the hell does obese mean. There were no obese people in those times.
I can remember living near bush land when I was a kid in the 70's and we'd ride our push bikes through it for hours on end and we'd be away from our homes all say and our parents didn't care. Only recently I went back to where we used to ride and what a change for riding bikes is now illegal and with mobile phones so prevalent you'd be dobbed into the cops in a flash. There was a waterfall there and in summer we used to cool off but now the water is polluted with urban runoff so you can see the waterfall but you can't go in the water and there are stiff penalties if you go in the water.
We were all Anglo Aussies then now it's Asians and Muslims all speaking their own tongue and looking down on Anglos like me.
Pineapples still don't come from trees.
Not the 70's I grew up in
You look tired - hope all is good.
What's changed
Food was definitely less healthy in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Meat and three vegetables was terrible. You rarely saw obese people in those days. Look around now. We must be eating much better now judging by the number of obese people.
I have to disagree with this as our family had amazing food of all different varieties also my mum was an amazing cook! We grew our own fruit and vegetables of many different varieties, so no I disagree with the video
I think this man is too young to know what it was like to live in the 1970s and 1980s. Yes, some things were worse, but other things were definitely better! If Bob Hawke hadn't been elected Prime Minister in the 80's,, we wouldn't have Medicare!!
Pretty cynical video. I grew up in Sydney in that period. The city & the country in general had a lot to offer
Yeah but how do they take the figures
You can manipulate any figures by change name or grade it goes under
I've lived in both I'll go back anyway as a kid you could walk the streets any time even midnight
Never worried about your safety
So those figures don't match up with reality as I've lived both and it's shit now facts especially for kids
Didn't mention the old white Australia policy.
Much better without it.
BEST YRS EVER!!! NOT LIKE THE WOKE SNOW FLAKES TODAY!!❤🇭🇲🇭🇲
Pineapples dont grow on tree's never have... get it right. 😂shame job..
Population was rising slowly from WW2 7million up to 20million things were rather backward due to isolation Migration brought wide changes in cuisine & drinking Rabbits illegal in QLD being feral pests which nearly destroyed Australian agriculture Contrast first car Holden manufactured Parkes astro dish picked up first clear photo of moon landing fought Korean Malaysian Vietnam & Afghanistan campaign
There are grains of truth in this video, but it's a wildly inaccurate and negative interpretation. I remember the 1970s in Australia and there were many, many positives. Whatever the statistics say the truth is that we used to go out without locking the house and our cars were parked in the driveway with the keys in the ignition. Honestly, this bloke should be tried for treason.
if you spend any time in Facebook groups centred around sharing historical photos of Australia, you'll soon be frustrated by the sheer number of people convinced everything was better pre-80s - EVERYTHING - and Australian cities today are crime-riddled wastelands filled with ugly buildings and horrible people. I can understand this guy wanting to provide a rebuttal. there were great things about Australia back in the day, and there are great things about it now. it's possible to look back fondly at the past but have a realistic view on the ways things have improved since.
The dude has no clue.
this vlog is 100% B S
I think it's quite accurate, for the factors he mentions. Yes, the food was dull and food is such a large part of daily life that I don't think most people realise it. And given that a large Chinese population arrived with the gold rush in the 1850s and just stayed, it's astonishing their cuisine didn't permeate to the mainstream culture prior to the 1970s and 80s. Bush tucker was virtually unheard of; even roo meat could only be sold as pet food. Regarding food, that didn't really start to change until the late 70s/early 80s, after the influx of Italian and Greek migrants following the abolition of the White Australia policy in 1973, which is also when our current coffee culture was established. Prior to then, it was tea or instant coffee for the majority.
Yes, we did very much suffer from cultural cringe, right up until shortly before the announcement in 1992 that Sydney would host the Olympics in 2000.
Yes, the architecture was largely very dull and I don't think much has improved on that front, but at least it's now better than the Brutalist style of the 60s.
But there are other cultural things about lifestyle that he didn't mention which is probably what people remember with fondness - how village-like many parts of suburbia were (something the present day NIMBYs try to hang onto), despite the fact that paedophiles did indeed exist then; the homogeneity of most city and suburban regions, and even in rural areas, non-whites generally lived in separated enclaves although they weren't mandatory, more a result of economic reality. Nothing like looking around your neighbourhood and seeing only people who look and sound like you to make you feel comfortable.
And by the way, I have read that book by Donald Horne and I think he's right on the money. Aussies stíl tend to be suspicious of blatant intelligence and nuance in the public sphere, even as we are proud of the faceless Aussie scientists who make remarkable discoveries and invent technologies fundamental to the modern world.
Well you did not grow up in the 70's and have no first hand clue what your talking about, I would rather those times anytime than the crap we have to put with today .
Load of rubbish I grew up then lots of healthy veg and food
This guy is talking a load of rubbish. We enjoyed a large variety of international foods with the large number of migrants that came to our shores. Greek, Italian, Vietnamese, Chinese. I can't remember food ever being how he described it. Everything was made from scratch & very little if any processed food. Rabbits are pests, there is a reason for that law but he didn't put that in his video. He seems to have cherry picked very obscure facts & laws to put in his videos without telling the whole story. Australia is not as safe now as it was back then. I would take all his information with a grain of salt. This comes across as a parody/comedy,
Not sure when you were born but I was a child in the 70s and the food culture underwent a massive change in the late 70s/early 80s. In the mid-70s the sophisticated heights of cocktail parties were oyster vol au vents, devils on horseback (prunes wrapped in bacon and grilled), prawn cocktails (on a bed of lettuce with seafood sauce), pinwheel sandwiches with tinned asparagus (utterly disgusting) and those cheese hedgehog things. Olive oil was not a kitchen staple until the early 80s.
Hi Kabir, even though I wasn't around then I have to reply on the dress code. Today I saw a young lady leaving woolies in just a bikini 😮. My daughter would never have dressed like that,it's becoming disgusting. ❤🇦🇺.
This is just a load of rubbish, more modern woke crap! I can't remember any houses having a microwave in the 70s.
Microwaves were very new in the 70s, as were Crockpots. Most houses wouldn't have had a microwave until the early 80s.
@@Merrid67play you're right, I men't can't remember, have now rectified it!
What is lacking in any story on the past by someone who hasn't lived it is just that. You can go all academic and think you have a handle on it but you don't, you know nothing substantial because you have no experience, you haven't lived it. I did and I loved it, awful though many things were.
This guy writes and talks like a Victorian, where the majority consider themselves superior against all Australians past and present. All too often however, all evidence appears to the contrary, with the State being the woke, protest, BLM, Climate Change/Crisis/Catastrophe, and racist, crime-ridden capital of Australia. However, paradoxically, they do also have a great coffee/cafe scene too. Lol.
(I’ve lived there 3 times).
Not all Vic, Melbourne for sure

Yeah. Weirdly, a whole slab of people in Ballarat consider themselves superior to those in Melbourne.
