Many young people think that the current China New Year is tasteless. They don't know what the China New Year means, so they want to know what their grandparents used to eat during the China New Year and how they used to celebrate the China New Year. So what did grandparents eat in the 1960 s and what did they eat in the New Year? Let's have a look.

The living conditions in the 1960s were relatively poor, and even during the Chinese New Year, there was less food at home. Let me introduce what people in the 1960s ate in China New Year:

1, baked sweet potato: In the 1960s, most families would eat baked sweet potato during the Spring Festival, because rice was expensive at that time, and the rice at home was limited every month. There are many people in the family during the Spring Festival, so they will share baked sweet potatoes as the staple food of the whole family.

2. Popcorn: Sugar was also precious in the 1960s, so many parents will get some popcorn for their children to eat during the Chinese New Year, so that children can eat sweets. The raw material of popcorn is corn. At that time, the output of corn was very high, so popcorn was a common snack in the New Year.

3. Popsicles: Popsicles in the 1960s were only a few cents. At that time, eating a popsicle was also a luxury, so some parents would buy popsicles for their children during the Spring Festival.

The living conditions in the 1960s were relatively simple, and there were not many good things to eat in the New Year. Due to the different economic conditions of each family, we eat different meals during the Spring Festival.
