Meat and three veg?
Back in the 1950's wives would stay home and raise the family. These ladies were called housewives.
They had a rule back then in most families, it was called 'meat and three veg'.
most families the housewives would prepare a meal and the meal for most families would be three veggies and one type of meat.
Would you like it?
I don't think I would like it all the time because I like food with lots of different flavours. Also I love Pasta, which wouldn't be included in meat and three veg. I sometimes like to enjoy bread with my dinner too. I wonder if they had bread as well. What about on special events and what about takeaway food and I think that most people wouldn't like it either.
What do you think about this rule? I don't think it is a good rule for every day, it would be ok for some days.

Malo e lelei Samuel,
ReplyDeletemy name is Cia. I am a Summer Learning Journey blogger who will be working with Ako Hiko bloggers over the summer break.
I like that you mentioned how it may not be suitable when thinking of special occasions, normally a grand feast is prepared on those occasions. Perhaps next time you could talk more about why you think most people wouldn’t like it. How would you change the rule?
You’ve talked a little bit about why you wouldn’t like it and why, you just need to add more of your thoughts in order to get the full points for this activity. You need to talk about whether you think the ‘meat and three veg’ rule is good and answer the question; would you enjoy eating a typical 1950s meal?
I don’t mind the rule so much, but I agree that isn’t suitable for special occasions.
I hope you’re having a stellar holiday season and I look forward to reading more of your posts.
Toe feiloa’i fo’i ('See you again' in Samoan),
Cia.

I remember the meat and three veg meals. As my mum used to still cook meals like this in the 80s and 90s. Lucky for us it wasn't every night. We did get special meals and variety. My favourite meat and three veg meal was Corned Silverside with cabbage carrots and potatoes. We used to have it with a cheese sauce.
