Spring onions

[RSJK]

here is a couple pics of a few spring onions taken in the sixties, we used to pull about 500 dozen bunches every day for about 8 weeks, makes you wonder where they all went to.  About 3shillings and sixpence a dozen bunches back then,  just under 18 pence to those born in the seventies and beyond.

What a lot of onions -  500 dozen a day - must have been a big place your parents had. Richard.  I love looking at old photos too.

Extraordinary! These days we use spring onions so much in stirfrys etc. as a regular thing,  but back then I reckon they only appeared on the side of the plate of Sunday teatime salads :o

Or cutting down the green stem, putting into cold water for a bit so they all went curly and looked pretty  :o  My mum never cooked with them either and the biggest one was always dad's.
;D

Oh! I remember the curly whirly trick - height of sophistication, that ;D
