That old thing about not eating anything your grandma wouldn't recognise is pretty much outdated. Supermarkets didn't exist then so she'd have gone to a butcher, a grocer and maybe a green grocer.
There are large tracts of the supermarket aisles she wouldn't recognise. Kiwis back then didn't eat yoghurt. Salami was something eaten in Italy. Instant mashed potato? WTF she'd make of a whole aisle of bottled water I have no idea. Then there's all the wines. The "new" veg like rocket, kale and fennel. Tacos? Pizza?
The poor old biddy would be completely flummoxed.
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
