Another vote for shitty cars. My god did the car companies and their workers not give a shit about anything.

I remember food being generally terrible, save for a small handful of family recipes passed down.
Food-wise, we really do live in an amazing time. Not only is the variety of fresh ingredients available mind blowing by comparison (some of them would have been considered exotic even 20 years ago), but people who actually have an interest in cooking have a wealth of knowledge available, that used to be more or less the exclusive domain of professional chefs (or at least people who went to culinary school). Average people have really upped their game since then. With exceptions for classics like "The Joy of Cooking", many of the popular cookbooks in the 70s and 80s are shockingly terrible by modern standards. |

On the other hand, going into a smoke-free bowling alley these days is just weird to me. It's unnatural, somehow. And I don't really mind non-smoking restaurants as a rule, but man...a greasy spoon in some podunk town just off a state route needs a light haze tickling your nostrils as you sip your coffee, waiting for the waitress with the curlers in her hair to bring you your Denver omelette. That's just science. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Mom managed to feed two growing boys and a picky-eating husband on a college professor's income throughout the 70s and 80s. We ate a lot of tuna, chicken, and occasionally beef. We never ate out unless it was someone's birthday or another special occasion, but we were never hungry. Her cooking style was VERY southern-French and Middle Eastern, with a healthy dose of upper-Midwest casseroles and noodle dishes. Quote HistoryQuoted:
