I knew the Yorkshiremen sketch before you were born, repeal. One of the greats of Monty Python - I saw it live at City Center around 1980.

That said, yeah, we ate pasta for nine months this past fall and winter and early spring because of the economy. No meat, no fish, no nothin’.

Dream of pasta? The rich kids were allowed to dream of pasta. We were happy to just dream of boiled water.

We had Hamburger Helper without the hamburger, so technically we had Helper.
