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?
I think the meat and three veg rule is a good idea because you get what you need to grow big and strong. I like the rule it is good but I like other things that aren't on the plate. For example: Hot chips, spaghetti and macaroni.
Hi there Thomas,
ReplyDeleteJade F here from the Summer Learning journey Team! Well done on completing another activity. I thought your response to the one meat, three veggies rule was well thought out. I agree that I would prefer to have other things on my plate like a salad or chips with my meat and veges too. If you had to design a perfect dinner using the one meat, three veggies rule what would it look like? I would choose chicken with potato, broccoli and cauliflower!
Looking forward to hearing from you and keep up the blog posting!
Jade F :)
Hi Jade F,
DeleteI would have a meat called corned silverside with corn, peas and carrots.
