It’s easy to forget what a world of plenty we’ve enjoyed (on the cheap) for the past 30-odd years. When we lost our empire after the war, rationing meant you just couldn’t buy stuff. When I grew up in the 60s and 70s, exotic fruit came in tins, olive oil from the chemist and lasagne would never have been basic pub grub. Well, it didn’t come in a basket, did it.

As it probably always should have been.
