Though I'm too young to have known it, British food of the fifties makes your list seem positively exotic - even with the waning empire: its sugar and pineapples.
See attachment ... "low-quality brown soup of uncertain ingredients."
Throughout my childhood, living on a small farm, my family always ate very well thankfully. One thing I never had though was a tossed green salad. For some unknown reason my mother never once served up one of them. I clearly recall the first salad I ever ate was at my girlfriend's home at age twenty. Very strange!
Chicago-style pizza started in the '40s with Pizzeria Uno. I had my first Uno probably when I was 10, so 1965 or so. The walls of the restaurant already had at least 10 years of graffiti on them.
We were poor kids in our formative years (in the fifties)
......Mom and her Sisters would collaborate on canning tomatoes from all their respective gardens....later,as the need arose,spaghetti sauce would be prepared from the home grown product......cooking for hours in the deep-well corner of the old electric stove
........Chef Boy-ar-Dee was a delicacy we longed for,but never received on the big family dinner table
@john-barry Chef Boy-ar-Dee and "Rice A Roni The San Francisco Treat" were dishes never offered at my childhood dinner table. From the tv ads I always thought they looked delicious until I tried them as an adult. Pork & beans and corned beef were the only tinned foods I recall being served as a kid; everything else was fresh, canned from our garden or bought from the neighbor's gardens.

growing up like third worlders......not a single food on the table with it`s own theme song 🤔
Not many people are aware that a very distant relative of Mediocrates' family tree played in MLB...name of Sammy Soso. Such an uncanny resemblance to another MLB star of a similar name; in spite of being Caucasian.
