never saw a zucchini, a capsicum or a chilli, and pasta was something
those odd people with funny accents down the road would eat.

I went in search of one of my really ancient cook books because I've
seen this comment online abobut pasta before and meant to check it out
because I thought it was not right. Grandma would have called it
Macaroni. Recipes for Macaroni and cheese appear in cook books back in
the 19th C.
