Slightly. In the '50s Italians were still suspect. They were all mafiosos and carried knives. Pizza was something you found in seedy taverns. My uncle lived in the city and it was a treat when he ordered a pizza from the joint on the corner and I would go to pick it up at the ladies entrance. NYC had Puerto Ricans but they had little impact. No Mexicans and things like tacos mentioned on TV shows from California were a complete mystery. My mother would make chicken cacciatore from the Betty Crocker cookbook and kept a bottle of 'shontay' wine on hand for the recipe. Doris Day's 'Chantez, Chantez' was popular and that was sort of close to Chianti. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvGZ5JuKtZQ
