A lot of replies discuss food in the UK in the 40-50s and why it might have been bad. But I also wonder what it was like in the states & whether the unfavourable comparison has shifted. Were the archetypal American GIs eating highly spiced food at home? Or is the idea that we don't like this newer?

Didn't the USA have a 'set everything into jelly' phase in the 50s?

I suspect just saltier. And more meat.
