Cold Post-War Phenomenon Comes of Age
Variously described as the great kitchen chore liberator and an Aladdin's lamp, the post-war phenomenon of the British frozen food industry celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
The occasion is marked in a book, published this month, charting the industry's history from the humble pea to futuristic technology beyond the Millennium.
From its pre-history in 1917 when the original Clarence Birdseye made a novel discovery on a fishing trip to Labrador, the industry's progress highlights the effects of demographic trends and lifestyle during the post-war years; through the swinging 60s; onto the birth of the consumer boom in the 80s and the health conscious 90s.
The industry emancipated a whole generation of women in the 60s from the days when a good cook was exhorted to rise early to complete their domestic chores before beginning the long and arduous task of food preparation. It evolved, not because of brilliant marketers, but through the simple process of freezing raw materials for later use, such as seasonal fruit and vegetables and spasmodic fish supplies.
