SIR - In reply to David Rhodes' English salads' (T&A, April 5) I wonder if he and older readers like myself experienced the heavy salads' I remember from childhood?
The salads then were made of lettuce leaves (always flat ones) sliced tomato and cucumber, radish, spring onions, pickled beatroot and onion, boiled egg, cheese, colslow if you had it and then the main' part of the salad, some sort of sliced meat or a chicken leg.
Add to that a plate of bread and butter, no dressing but lashings of salad cream and usually fruit from a can with condense milk for afters and that was a light' meal!
