What was food like in the 50's? Connection

In honor of grease I did some research on food in the 50's and found a lot of interesting information. There is more to the typical stereotype of the average teenagers hanging

out in burger joints and the popular meals being burgers fries and milkshakes. I found they ate strange meals such as; boiled grape fruit, stuffed pecans or walnuts, fried celery and cream cheese, sardine and bacon rolls, ham and egg balls, pineapple fingers and bacon and many others. Backyard barbecuing was the all American rage and martinis changed from sweet to dry. I also learned that many of the popular restaurants and food products we use today were just as common in the 50's such as; Coco puffs, IHOP, Ramen, Pizza Hut, Sweet and Low, Tang and Ruffles. It's always nice to learn something new.
