Just before 1970 still in teen years… living in rural meant we had to walk miles to each others places… was a safe time doing so!
Well we knew one of the farmers daughter had a small boxy record player… us girls would gather around as she put a scratchy Elvis ep record on to play. All mono but… was fascinating to us!
Then it’s getting hot staying indoors (none had ceiling fans or air con back then)
So we went to the muddy dam and cooled off.

One of the girls had a box brownie camera and showed me how to use it… everything was upside down!

Ahh the 70s in Australia. When politics was politics and the Media was music and entertainment.
In America, politics was still a movie show though.

The 70s -

Kentucky Fried Chicken was finger licking good -

The batter was crispy and so were the chips.
The mashed potato and gravy was perfect.
They also sold bean salad that was better than anything I've tasted to this day.

That bean salad was a fave with some but not enough to keep it on menu. So it was deleted. My husband had whinged for years about it being the best bean salad… and chicken just wasn’t the same without it.
It’s probably just bad timing but if it were now… it would be a hit as so many are on a health kick!

So one day…. Several years ago…. I looked for bean salad recipe… and Lo and behold… there it was… the original kfc salad recipe! I tried it and it was THE ONE!
I printed it out …
Here’s a different print out… looks very old and original… I’m away from home a few days… I will take a photo of the one I found with kfc logo and put up later…. But this one is THE recipe!
It’s a green capsicum … white onion… and I use edgell brand can beans

Thanks for the recipe - I've gotta try it.   Smiley

It seems like too much sugar and salt though?

I think green pepper means a green Capsicum?

Yes green capsicum:
And yes a lot of sugar.
I tried varying the quantities but if you want the exact taste of the bean salad you remember then do it as it says. There’s only one substitute I do, I use olive oil instead.
Oh, and….you can use stevia or xylitol instead of sugar.
And…. It actually does taste better next day if you let it sit overnight in the fridge.
Since I’ve made this…. It’s now in the menu request list from family!  Cool

Geez, colours of our first house in 1976! Orange kitchen!
And one colour that was in everything… Mission Brown!
Green was also another popular colour.
I would’ve preferred green.

OK thanks -
I just checked:

A "No. 2" can has a diameter of 3 7/16 inches and a height of 4 9/16 inches, with a capacity of 20.55 fluid ounces or 2 1/2 cups. This size is commonly used for canned fruits, vegetables, and other food items.

The wax beans are those yellow ones:

Bobby, I use cannellini beans, not yellow wax beans.
That’s a more modern version of the kfc recipe.
But… I might try it with the wax beans next time…
Once I’m back home do Sunday… I will take a pic of the recipe I printed out.
I can’t find that particular online anymore.
Funny how that happens.

Oh perrrrlease - Bean Salad????

Mid 70's playing Rugby League in my town our end of year footy trip was over to Eurong Beach on Fraser Island where we stayed at the Eurong Resort owned by a sponsor at the time.

The cook there was named Max - and you could bet your left one that at every meal including breakfast there would be bean salad.

We gave him the nick name 3 Bean Max.

Only one there we watched regularly was Magnum PI.

Liked Tom Selleck.

Liked the movie he ended up doing over here in 1990
Quigley Down Under.

Also a fan of his TV drama movies  ... Jesse Stone - No Remorse in 2010 & Jesse Stone Lost in Paradise in 2015.

He's been in a TV series called Blue Bloods from 2010 to 2024.

To me, the 70s was the decade that didn't take anything too seriously. Where the world relaxed, just went out and worked happily, had fun, socialised without class distinctions, no more political angers.
It was like the world was content and happy.

...until the greedy lust for money and glam came with the 80s and things just got worse again.

Thanks Sophia,
I was all about to get the ingredients yesterday at Coles but
there were no fresh yellow beans.
I didn't want canned ones.
Oh well - another day.

In Melbourne, yellow wax beans are best planted in late spring or early summer
after the soil has warmed up and the risk of frost has passed.
This typically translates to September to November.

It was on free-to-air TV every afternoon for many, many years.

Now it's on Foxtel every day.

I have access to Foxtel at the moment, and I've been checking out all the channels.

The Sky stuff is absolute garbage - how do people watch that
s
hit?

The F1 stuff is great - I'll be watching the Spanish Grand Prix this (long) weekend.

Foxtel also has The Penguin, which is an excellent series. 9/10

At the moment, I'm watching Band of Brothers which is also excellent. 9/10

But yeah, The Brady Bunch is on every day on one of the channels, usually followed by old episodes on The Twilight Zone.

Not a car racing fan. I'm Rugby League - some boxing & MMA.

Yes watched The Penguin (Colin Farrell) enjoyed that.

Didn't get into Band of Brothers.

You reckon paying for that is bad… I’m only with Prime, and until recently it’s started playing adverts!
Now that is a pain because…. reason we liked watching movies was no ads to break up concentration/relaxation… the very reason we paid is to avoid watching movies on commercial tv!
Now I wondering what the next step is and how much I have to pay extra to avoid advertisements!
But having said that…. With prime subscription being with Amazon… I get free delivery on stuff I buy through Amazon online… and yes it’s been cheaper buying stuff I want when comparing to other online places.

Yep, the ads suck alright   Angry

To get rid of them you'll have to pay another $2.99 per month.

So, a total of $12.99 per month.
