Article Excerpt:

atomicage.jpgThe 1950's was a time of great anxiety.  Many folks feared world annihilation.  Much of American culture was a reaction to this.  While some parts of the post World War II culture, such as music and fashion, contained a "revolutionary" quality, the food that Americans enjoyed during the 50's had an escapist quality to it.  A lot of the dishes from this era are often referred to as comfort food.  An antidote for the pressures of the Atomic Age?  Maybe so.
