The vegetables in this display looked wonderful. I was there early, so they were undisturbed... I really enjoy seeing them that way...

Tinned tomato soup (Heinz)
Rice Pudding
Fish & Chips in newspaper
Iced bun
Ice cream and jelly
Beans on toast
Angel Delight
Toad in the hole
Marmite on Toast
Most of us (of a certain age) in the uk grew up on 100% carbs, with added sugar, basically. There were very many other foods that were eaten as staples including: Viennetta, Spam fritters, Vesta Curries, Crisp Sandwiches, Instant Whip, now that sounds kinky! Nesquick, Breville toasties just for starters. Please feel free to add your own.
This recipe is very flavorful, without adding any salt. There is a little bit of salt in the vegetable broth and in the can of fire --roasted tomatoes. You can omit those and prepare your own fire-roasted tomatoes and your own vegetable broth, typically with lots of fresh celery - stalks or diced...
Here is the current recipe I used:
Sauté one cup chopped onion; next, add chopped yellow pepper. When soft, add chopped zucchini. Season with no-salt spices and fresh rosemary.
When fully softened, add one container Trader Joe's low salt vegetable broth. Add one can Muir Fire Roasted whole tomatoes.
Add two large cloves chopped garlic.
Simmer.
Last, add a bag of frozen peas.
_________________________________
When my mother cooked vegetable soups, there were no frozen vegetables. Also, there were no zucchini and no fresh tomatoes in the winter.
In the winter, Mom added canned veggies including canned tomatoes. She also used dried vegetables like mushrooms.
She cooked with root vegetables a lot, including potatoes, carrots, parsnips, etc. Also, lima beans were a staple in the winter, either dry-packed or canned.
Dad would have had challah, pumpernickel, and rye bread loaves on the table.
We were not vegetarians. There would usually be a chuck steak or flanken (flank steak) or other cuts, or even meatballs in the soup. And on special occasions, there would be potato dumplings in the pot.
Mom might have had rice on the side, and also mashed potatoes, white and sweet potato or yams, when available, for me...
There would definitely have been sauerkraut, sour tomatoes, and assorted pickles from the neighborhood delicatessen. That would have been Tabachnick's. One of my classmates was Jay Tabachnick. They now ship frozen cooked soups and other dishes nationwide. They contain too much salt for my health, and now for my unsalted taste buds!
Another classmate, Martin Zients, had an older brother who worked for Bird's Eye when it was a new company, way up in Boston, setting up the first frozen food enterprise. I thought Boston sounded strange and so far away. Little did I know I would spend most of my adult life living in eastern Massachusetts.
