Back in Time for Tea,

I loved the original of this TV show and after being advised to research cookbooks and cookery shows, this seemed a good way to visit changing British attitudes to food and just how much food can reflect our cultural identity.  This series focuses on a Northern Working Class Family, which really changes the dynamic, it makes you realise that things do change, and you can never go back, but the status quo is always a balance of the old and the new conjoined together, one never replaces the other but values begin to meld together in each generation or even timeframe. The same is true of myself, I will always be the sum of my influences, my location, my race, my gender, even the time I was born. Where new experiences may add to my overall identity, they never replace the underlying building blocks, merely alter them slightly each time I consolidate the new experiences.
