In the USA they stopped delivering milk about 1959. In New England , where I grew up, we always put vinegar on our fries ( though some use ketchup). I always wondered if it was a British carryover ( due to our heritage)We also put vinegar on cooked spinach, boiled cabbage, beets, turnip. It is not common across the US. Do they do that in England?

@Ldybug376 I actually don't come from England. I was born in Germany and I grew up in The Netherlands. We put vinegar mostly over our salads and we eat our fries with Mayonaise...

wow......milk delivered....in glass bottles yet. They used to do that in the usa. Possibly still do in some areas of the country. Everything tastes better in glass

Aren't the Robinson family so middle class? hahaha My goodness how misleading can a video be? And ofcourse the British family sits around a table together to eat - ofcourse not most sit in front the television!
