Liver and onions were one of my favorite meals growing up. It was a meal that Mom would make for Dad. Whenever she would do so, she would usually made lasagna or spaghetti for us children; because most of us wouldn't eat the liver and onions. My second oldest brother, Dad, Mother and I would usually eat the liver/onions: but we also got to enjoy the left overs from the lasagna or spaghetti left-overs. Talk about a WIN-WIN!
I still eat many of these dishes. My grandmother was depression era and a lot of her cooking from there to the 70s when I was born then all the things my mother and aunts made influenced my cooking and my daughters want all the recipes to take with them when they go out into the world. These are happy memory meals for me 😊
Stouffers sells Creamed Chipped Beef. My Mom still eats pimento cheese sandwiches. While she was still living and living with us, my grandmother ate rice pudding, Spam, Vienna sausages . . . I came home once and she and Mom were eating canned stewed tomatoes on bread. She came of age in the Depression, so she was always wanting canned foods that nobody else eats now.
I never knew my grandmothers, they died before I was born. My mother and father lived through the Great Depression. They also grew up VERY poor. We had a small family farm - cows, pigs and chickens. My father was a carpenter and worked building houses. We all worked the farm.My mother made a sandwich spread that my father adored. She took sharp cheddar that she called rat cheese and put it through a grinder that was attached to the edge of the table. Then she added green bell pepper. She ran the cheese-pepper combo through a couple times. She stirred in a touch of mayo to bind it and it was done. My Dad was happy as a clam every time he opened his lunch pail.
I don't know where you live that you can't get these meals, but your first, the tuna melt is an everyday thing on the Friendlies ice cream restaurant menu.
Tuna melt is pretty good. I make mine with celery, onion, garlic and cheddar cheese. I ate a lot of it by mounding up the tuna mayo mixture and add cheddar on top, no bread, after I had bariatric surgery and needed low carb meals. ❤
It was truly awful. Actually anything savory or veggie based jello was gross. It was a texture thing. My mom used to love her some jello molded salads. I'll keep my jello sweet and served with a mound of whipped cream. Other than that, jello is only good for times when your getting ready for a colonoscopy or having a tooth pulled. 😮
My mother (87 years old now) grew up during the lean times after the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma. Her father owned a prosperous Barbeque restaurant there. Some of my best memories were of the recipes that she would make. I couldn't wait to be old enough to help out. I started out by separating the beans (black-eyed, Pinto, etc. When I was old enough I learned to gather the onions and celery, breaking them into small enough pieces that fit into the hand chopper. Oh, and measuring out the walnuts and chopping the carrots that would later be added to one of our family's favorite desserts carrot cake! I would do whatever Mom asked me to do to help out in the kitchen. The best part of all of that was the time that I got to spend with my mother--cooking foods that made our family happy-- and being my Mom's "taste-tester," which meant that I got to eat during the entire time. Oh, how I miss those days!
When I had my testaurant, before I retired, I would occasionally do a salmon wellington especially for Catholic celebrations around Easter or on Fridays. It was very popular even with people that didn't like fish.
I'm from Georgia and my grandmother made none of those. Of course we had grits, but she did not make instant grits as was shown in pics. She made biscuits, cornbread, fried chicken, ham, ribs, beans, greens, beef roast, pork roast, corn....nothing in aspic. She might have made meatloaf on a rare occasion, but not a lot. Most of that looked gross.
We're at the foot of the Ozark Mountains in Missouri. It sounds like we must cook the same way! 😂 Both of my grandma's could do the best fried chicken that I've ever tasted. Beans and ham with cornbread in the cast iron.... or Sunday roast if they felt rich that week. It seemed like there was always sweet corn and fresh green beans with at least a pound of bacon. I was fine as long as there were mashed potatoes with white gravy AND grandma's homemade bread. I'm 58 now and I can't hold a candle to either of my grandmas. 😂
Yeah because in the south y'all drown everything in butter and grease. I'm from Massachusetts, I've had a ton of this stuff, especially Shepard's pie and Meatloaf lol
Same here. How I fed my family. A meat,beans potatoes or another vegetable. Always a meat two veggies bread,ice tea. Some Lund if dessert. Cake,pie, cobbler. Sunday I cooked one big meal for Sunday dinner. Supper was help yourself to left overs.
I don’t know what grandmothers he’s talking about but mine never had anything like this my grandma made good food not that I’m saying this stuff isn’t good maybe it is but I wouldn’t trade my grandmas cooking for anything
That was a fun walk through things I remember and things I never heard of. I’m 72 so I was around when many of those “mid-century” foods were popular. Waldorf salad was my dad’s favorite salad. I still make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas in memory of him. I ate many a shepherd’s pie as a kid and still make cottage pie once in a while. As a kid I loved creamed chipped beef on toast and olive loaf sandwiches. I live near a Mennonite community so all the Mennonite farmer’s markets sell pickled beets eggs. We buy a jar about once a year because my husband likes them. In these video’s I watch for things I might be interested to dig up a recipe for. From this video I decided I should try Dutch babies. I’ve heard about them for years, but never tried them. Sounds like a sweet Yorkshire pudding. Sounds interesting, I’ll try making them sometime next week. Thanks for the work on these videos, but I have to say there are so many commercials; I start to skip them after awhile.
Croque Madame is not an american sandwich. It is THE classic French sandwich, specifically a variation of the Croque Monsieur. When you add the egg on top, the croque monsieur becomes a croque madame. Croque (bite) Monsieur (mister) or madame (lady).
I thought that Steak Diane had been around since the late 19th century, early 20th. Maybe I'm thinking of something else. Maple bars look really good. I thought that they're still around, I thought that I remember having one from Lamar's doughnuts a couple of years ago. German pancakes look very good also. And the blueberry buckle too. The egg-foo yung in sandwich form isn't something that you'd normally see. Chinese food and sandwiches have not been a well known mix. Ham and pineapple is very Hawaiian
Did anyone notice that the woman that was making ox tail soup in an instant pot? All my mom had was a pressure cooker. She made a good pot of pigs knuckles and saurkrut in it. BTW ox tails are cow tails. Not much meat on them. Beef shank is a better cut if you stew it and less expensive. I make soup out of mine.
I believe that is a complete travesty that. These Foods. Aren't. As common as they once were. But luckily we have. Recipes and archives of them so we can make them at any time if we choose to and in the end, that's the great thing about cooking and never really goes away. I'm from the Z generation. And I remember and experienced. Many of these great dishes. I haven't been cooking for that long. Maybe 20 years. But I discovered that. I really have. Hidden skills within me to me some pretty amazing things. And along with that comes a deep passion. To make things. That you would swear somebody else made them. Instead of. Them being made by your own hands. You know, making things homemade and from scratch is pretty interesting. Maybe because the majority of people just don't do this. They rather get take out or processed food. Which I think is just sad because there's just. This level of satisfaction. That you can get by trying together these different things and making something. Completely unique. And people around you, Marvel at what you've done. Some might even compare it to what they had at the restaurant last week. And such praise can't be understated. So I really want to thank you Vintage life of usa, your channel is a true gem beyond many. The narration alone is amazing. And then you add in all these amazing dishes. I've had to pull out my notepad and start thinking notes. So that I can start making some of these amazing meals and dishes I'm seeing. You're trying to really needs to be archive it is truly amazing. What you've done. And I want to personally thank you.
Dear god, stop cutting off your introductions of the dishes. You’re not under any time constraints since I’ve uploaded my own videos. I do like your videos but please fix this
I had never heard of peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. But I started reading the Kinsey Milhone series by Sue Grafton. Kinsey lives the things. I didn’t think that would taste good but it does. RiP Sue Grafton. (I can’t believe she died before she wrote Z)
Yes my dad made this often occasionally when he wanted to cook ...he learned it in the Navy on the USS FIREDRAKE. I remember and still make a lot of these meals. My husband love fluffer nutters.
Not trying to be rude but not only white people live in America, there's has to be som African American, Spanish, and other cultures, also what about native American food since they were here first
I grew up in Chicago and we ate a lot of these recipes. They were somewhat tweeked depending on what mom had in the fridge. I'm not so sure Elvis ate bacon on his peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
German “pancakes “, looks like a British Yorkshire pudding without sugar. It’s a savoury puffy accompaniment to roast beef or other meats , often flavoured with fresh herbs like thyme . It’s weird to look at early 19/20th century American food, especially as British cuisine was always mocked for boring food. It’s odd because the Brits have always cared more about fresh wholesome food rather than pounds of sugar to make savoury foods palatable. I’m American living in UK and I like their approach to food safety .
I'd always heard the Brits cook their veg so long it became mushy. It seems like the food culture is more varied. Curry is #1 on the take away list. Don't they add brown gravy to top off their Yorkshire puddings?
My grandmothers made nasty food. Starting off with the nasty tuna sandwich, I see it’s universal. So far, if my grandmas ever made any of this, is wasn’t for me or my family.
Liver and onions were one of my favorite meals growing up. It was a meal that Mom would make for Dad.

I remember Chicken Kiev was popular for years. Very similar to Cordon Bleu, but with butter pouring out of the middle. Yum.

Too bad, no Friendlies in Van Nuys or any other place i the Valley. Friendlies, come to the Valley!
Never heard of Friendlies ice-cream.
Its back east and I think it's Friendly's. Wish it was on the west coast t
Tuna jello?! Very happy I missed that one. 😅
It was truly awful. Actually anything savory or veggie based jello was gross. It was a texture thing. My mom used to love her some jello molded salads.

I want to make me some rice pudding. Mom used to bake hers in the oven and add raisins and cinnamon, yummy.

@@karenshepherd2412I wish I had missed it! Oh, and don’t forget the green peas😂
@@StephanieSummerhill
Oh lordy, that only makes it worse. Couldn't imagine that would be possible! 😂
Fascinating. I never met my grandma because she passed away nearly 30 years before I was born in Taiwan, but it's good to know what she was cooking.
Mom still makes Beef Wellington but she uses chicken because that’s cheaper. I’d like to taste the real Beef Wellington with beef. 😋
When I had my testaurant, before I retired, I would occasionally do a salmon wellington especially for Catholic celebrations around Easter or on Fridays. It was very popular even with people that didn't like fish.
I’m making Shepherds Pie and Cottage Pie quit often.
On my menu every week in Winter, in fact I’ve got two in the freezer from last year😂
I got me some Shepherds pie right next to me, and he's lightly snoring,. 😂😂
We had very different grandmas.

Some of those dishes are still served at restaurants today, and every now and then, I go to enjoy them.
I had a peanut butter and butter pickle sandwich for dinner last night and it was delicious.
Don't forget a few things sliced onions. If too strong, rinse we'll with water😊😊
Prosciutto & Swiss or Blue cheese is much better in Cordon Bleu than standard ham.
SOS on sourdough is AMAZING
I thought that Steak Diane had been around since the late 19th century, early 20th. Maybe I'm thinking of something else.
Maple bars look really good. I thought that they're still around, I thought that I remember having one from Lamar's doughnuts a couple of years ago.

Ham and pineapple is very Hawaiian
Steak Diane yum
We didn't have many of these things.
I don't think I have eaten anything here except tuna noodle casserole and tuna sandwiches.
Oh, I have had cottage pie.
Did anyone notice that the woman that was making ox tail soup in an instant pot? All my mom had was a pressure cooker. She made a good pot of pigs knuckles and saurkrut in it.
BTW ox tails are cow tails. Not much meat on them. Beef shank is a better cut if you stew it and less expensive. I make soup out of mine.
It's a wonder how expensive they are now. Barely anything on them but they do hold flavor so well and are tasty. Such a tease tho lol

Never used oil in fondu we only ever used either a very tasty stock or cheese or chocolate depending on the type of fondu savory or sweet
Dear god, stop cutting off your introductions of the dishes. You’re not under any time constraints since I’ve uploaded my own videos. I do like your videos but please fix this

I dunno. I was thinking bread and butter pickles would be better.
and I have even heard of a peanut butter and mayo sandwich!
It is supposed to be sweet bread and butter pickles with peanut butter. Then there is also peanut butter and banana sandwiches too
Yes my dad made this often occasionally when he wanted to cook ...he learned it in the Navy on the USS FIREDRAKE. I remember and still make a lot of these meals. My husband love fluffer nutters.
I love peanut butter and bread and butter pickle’s sandwiches. So good
Cordon Blu is delicious 😋
I feel like around a 1/3 of the way through this video it stopped being about things grandma made.
Kinda depends on how old you are and thus Gramma's age haha
Chicken core da blue rice a roni bead pudding egg pie hamburger helper was some of what l like always a pickey eater though
The pronunciations killed me 😖
I love a tuna melt. I don't use rye bread.

Banana meatloaf! Give me strength!
Not trying to be rude but not only white people live in America, there's has to be som African American, Spanish, and other cultures, also what about native American food since they were here first
I couldn't tell you a single native American food.
That picture of the tuna melt is from Bon Appetit
I loved tuna casserole when I was a single poor person. I would NEVER eat it now.
How many people who grew up in the greater New York Metro area found these recipes (except for Eggplant Parma) nauseating?
I grew up in Chicago and we ate a lot of these recipes. They were somewhat tweeked depending on what mom had in the fridge.
I'm not so sure Elvis ate bacon on his peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
Fried baloney sandwiches were good. They paired well with tomato soup. I'm surprised they didn't mention grilled cheese and tomato soup.
I'm from the South and these were not what we ate. I agree most looked gross.

They are now call Dutch Babies, I had them my last trip to New Zealand.
GRANNY RECIPES
Roast duck is great with just some salt. Don't need orange to confuse the flavor. CRISPY DUCK SKIN. DUCK FAT.
Duck oil makes amazing mayonnaise.
Wow, guess I really did grow up poor. My grandma did not cook like this at all.
My grandmothers made nasty food. Starting off with the nasty tuna sandwich, I see it’s universal. So far, if my grandmas ever made any of this, is wasn’t for me or my family.
We did not eat any of these 😅

No salade nicoise for you, then.
You probably would have starved at our house!
Pretty much all of these are the source of obesity in the US
Not really. HFCS and a soda machine at every gas station graduated to Super Size Me gigantic cups of soda at 7-11, and your favorite fast food outlet.
The last “dish” banana with ham bake…🤮 Awful
Never heard of it. I think he's trolling us a bit.
The South can keep pimento cheese
I never liked it bc of the pimento, but my mom did esp on celery. My husband loves it as a sandwich. Would buy it just for him.
Most of these were horrible dishes……No thanks!
