Summer Learning Journey (W3) (Day One)
Activity 1. 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?
To be completely honest I would not like the rule of meat and three veg it just simply would not be enjoyable for me. when it comes to food you can be as creative as you like but this rule only always to put so little on a plate what about all theses enjoyable herbs on the side what about when your at a BBQ you have to have one kind of meat when without the rule you can have a different selection of meat. why go to the supermarket and just buy simple veges and one kind of meat theirs is so much you could choose from to put on your dinner plate so i would not like this rule at all.
Hi Catrin
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things out there that you can have for your dinner these days. Especially in the summer with all the salads that you can make when you are having a BBQ.
Do you have a favourite salad? Mine is potato salad and broccoli & bacon salad.
Meat and 3 veges can sometimes get a little boring if you have it all the time. Its quite nice to have a good variety of meals. I quite like butter chicken and rice too.
What would your favourite meal be?
Do you help out with the cooking at home?
Great work Catrin!
Until next time
Allie :)
Hey Allie,
DeleteWow, broccoli and bacon salad sounds delicious! I would love to grab the recipe when I see you next week.
Have a great day commenting,
Megan :)
Tena koe Catrin,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Megan and I am part of the Summer Learning Journey team commenting on your posts this summer.
Amazing! I love how you have thought outside the box and decided that there is so much more to cook than meat and vegetables. I completely agree with you. I do believe meat is important for our diet but find it is too much for my tummy to handle eating it every night. I love getting creative in the kitchen and putting new meals together. Last night I made a delicious quinoa dish with a variety of vegetables.
Do you get in the kitchen much? What is your favourite meal that you or your family cooks?
Thank you for sharing your passionate ideas. Maybe you can share some dishes that break the meat and 3 veg rule.
Have a lovely day,
Megan :)
