Brightly-coloured food?”

NAAFI tea that you could stand a spoon in with condensed milk.

Yummy.

They should have gone for the 1910s or 1920s when the teashops were thriving.

They will have to make spam sandwiches for 1940s cut very thin.

Potato bread to steer clear of wheat rationing...

I was thinking of our current Queen, who was crowned in 1953, and in later years saw the Coronation in colour.
