American Food

American Food
Uploaded (late) for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: FOOD
Here's a photo of my dear Nana on her visit to America, 1967.
My mother is introducing her to something we had never tasted before we emigrated; unavailable and (I think) unheard of in Britain at the time - corn on the cob. As usual, Nana is game to try anything. My grandfather, I'm sure, declined, and is probably in the living room.
I took after my father and would have died rather than try any new food. I didn't eat corn until I was an adult. (Along with a legion of other things.)
This shows our apartment kitchen before it was covered in yellow and orange '70s flowers. Here, we still had our formica table, plastic paper napkin holder with paper napkins, and either Hummel salt and pepper shakers, or Hummel knock-offs - which strangely, no matter what they were, I have no memory of.

Such a nifty photo! The sixties décor is great, and your explanation of the circumstances makes it even more interesting.
