I remember well the fifties in Nova Scotia. You had four menu choices in your average family restaurant:
Hamburgers, Hot Chicken, Hot Beef and Hot Hamburger sandwiches with fries!
Wine was unknown, except for Andres Cold Duck which was for "Winos" only! My wife's first reaction to a Demi-Sec Riesling. "Gross, that is way too sour for my taste!" Ten years later everyone drank wine ... and many found Demi-Sec a bit too sweet! Go figure!
Using garlic was frowned upon. Only Italians used that evil smelling spice! Now I couldn't imagine life without garlic!
