I copped for a posh girl friend from Formby,and when I was told we were having spaghetti Bolognese for dinner (they didn't call it tea) I thought they were mingebags and it was going to be from a tin on toast.
I had to study and quickly master the spoon/ fork twirly action,was aghast when they bought out the parmesan!!!
Prior to that when I heard "life is a minestrone"
By 10cc I used to wonder what "parmers" were as I heard it as "topped off with parmers and cheese "
When you think back food we all eat regularly now was mostly unheard of by working class people.
