For a project im writing about 1950's food and the food that was unique to that time. But, in my report i also have to compare a literary work to the information i find on 1950's food.

Question

my teacher said the best work would be like a poem, song, article about your specific topic(so in my case 1950's food) but.. she said if you can't find anything specific that talks about your topic you can just use a literary work that goes with your time.

I've been looking for a literary work that mentions 1950's food but im not able to find any. do you guys know any? If not about food do you know any just about the 1950's in general?

thanks this helps a bunch!! :):)

Answer 1

I can't think of any novels or music that mention food. You may get some ideas from these lists. Be careful, though, not all of these novels are set in the 50s.
