In the 1950s, things settled down in New Zealand. There were no international wars or intense, national conflicts. Many kiwis were able to settle down, get married, buy a home and start a family.
Meat and three veg
It was common for women in the 1950s to stay home with their children and raise their family. They were called ‘housewives.’ Many housewives followed a simple rule when they prepared the evening meal: the ‘meat and three veg’ rule. This meant that they prepared dinners that included three different vegetables and a type of meat (eg. beef, lamb, or chicken).
On your blog tell us if you think that the ‘meat and three veg’ rule is a good one. Do you like the rule? Would you enjoy eating a typical 1950s dinner? Why or why not?
I think that it is a good rule. I think that it will be good if we do the meat and three veg because we need to keep healthy and look after our body. Also to stay fit.

ReplyDeleteI think you've made some good points about why it is a good idea for dinner. Do you think that you would get bored of eating this for dinner every night?
