'Home ec'

Who remembers 'home ec' in the 1950s and beyond? Did you learn a lot about buying food, cooking, and food presentation from doing this in school? And are you still putting these learnings to use?

I remember the cooking classes just like the sewing classes. I still hate cooking and still can’t sew.

In home ec, we learnt how to hang the clothes on the line totally different to how I do it now. To me, it was hanging things upside down. I did cooking in 2nd form in high school.
