I’m from immigrant heritage, so growing up my parents never ate the same food as everyone else. The same pattern was repeated for us growing up.

What did everyone else who were more established in Australia eat back in the 60s and 70s? What was the “typical” Australian diet?

My primary school teacher used to claim his mother refused to cook pasta because it was “foreign”, and his dad would only eat pasta if there was also a side of potato. It always sounded like made-up stories to me.

What’s your experience?
