Having a good scran is much better than watching GB news
Pizza or pasta I can kind of understand, if she hasn't updated her culinary map of the universe in the last 50+ years for some reason, but honey?! That's crazy.I started a new job recently and one of the volunteer workers is an 87-year-old woman who can clearly remember running down to an air-raid shelter during war. The way she thinks about food is so strange to me because she grew up with rationing. We chat about what we're having for dinner and she pulls faces when I say I'm having things like pasta or pizza. "I've never tried exotic foods like honey." It's really easy to take for granted how easily accessible it is for us now.
Brexit is basically a conspiracy to make us all eat like this again, isn't it?The person I've taken over for in the job usually makes this lady her lunch, as she's a volunteer and it's their way of thanking her for coming in. She usually has a sandwich with "ham and beef paste" which I didn't even know was a thing you could get. I've been considering bringing in some stuff for her to try, but I'm also cautious because I'm only half-joking when I say that I think something lightly spiced would put her in hospital.
