In the fifties we used to have excellent salads during the summer. I was always in charge of doing the hard-boiled eggs, and shelling them, then slicing them up. We always had home-grown lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, spring onions, grated carrot, beetroot and diced potatoes. My mother would open a tin of sardines, or horrible ghastly spam (ugh) and the entire lot was drenched in Heinz salad cream. All this with a slice of Hovis bread and butter and a glass of milk. Very nutritious!
