yeah that seems to be a theme with this guys "This meal FADED Into History" videos. I noticed on the last one I watched on this channel like 6 of the 10 were still extremely common and the rest were just overly complex meals like beef wellington or something. Stuff you wouldn't just decide to cook for a meal one Tuesday.
I used to make tuna noodles noodle at least once a week. It was easy, and tuna in cans were easy to stock up. We made the noodles as per instructions. We added can of Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup. Add some sautéed onions. Then one can drained tuna. If we had sour cream, add about a cup . Mix. Heat through. We served a scoop of peas and carrots along with it. We made a simple salad. Hardly ever had left overs. I loved to make and eat it.
Ya'll remember when the boiling bags came out with chicken la king, cornbeef and white sauce (sos), Salisbury steak in them ? They were individually packaged and all you had to do was drop the bag in boiling water and cook for a few minutes. Then serve over bread, rice ect. ?
The biggest problem with fondue is the need for specialized serving equipment. The cheese mixture or cooking oil has to stay hot to work and the food bits require lengthy forks to dip in cheese or fry in oil. It's too much effort for just one or two people dining, and a gathering of guests makes it difficult to do from the stove. Then there's having yet one more appliance that gets rarely used (and people have very few parties or gatherings these days). (That said, if your cooktop is set in your kitchen island, you can do a fondue party if the guest list is of reasonable size.) The last time I had fondue was for a dinner party of 3 guests and myself. I didn't have a fondue set, so I used klieg lights on the dining room table. They were wide enough to hold bot the cheese fondue pot and the cooking oil pot (I served cubes of bread, steak, mushrooms, and broccoli florets). We just had to keep an eye on the cheese, that it didn't burn. Actually, people DO still serve fondue. I've even seen a few restaurants that are specifically fondue restaurants. And I worked a couple of years ago in a chain grocery store's cheese department and we stocked pre-mixed fondue cheese mixtures, although fondue cheese is a very simple recipe of two kinds of cheese, some white wine, and some quality mustard. Brand new fondue sets are easily found for sale, not just in specialty kitchen stores, but in ordinary department stores (Walmart, Target, Macy's, etc). They're a standard stocked item, so people are buying them, sometimes dropping hundreds of dollars for high quality ones. On average it appears standard fondue party size is six people, as there are only six fondue forks in the average fondue set.
Hah, I was on a first date at a fondue restaurant when the fondue pot suddenly cracked and dripped hot cheese all over the table. There was no second date.
I literally have leftover stroganoff, rice a roni, and spam in my house right now. And this reminded me to make some tuna casserole and sloppy joes because I miss them. And I can’t remember a thanksgiving without green bean casserole. 34. Indiana.
These dishes take me back to the 70s and 80s. We still make over half of them and when my grown kids come home they request them. Just the other day we had Chef Boyardee Pizza, my kids thought his was a real treat back in the day.
We make our own pizza from scratch, and it can't be beat. So, Chef Boyardee Pizza? Never. But I do remember eating Chef Boyardee spaghetti from a can on surfing trips in the 1960s.
We always had a vegetable with dinner entrees. So sliced tomatoes , sliced onions were the usual, but cucumber salad, peas and carrots, canned or fresh steamed spinach with a white sauce, canned or fresh steamed green beans, homemade coleslaw, fresh steamed cauliflower. Stuff with these always with homemade roasted meats, or with a casserole, or sandwich. And homemade mashed potatoes. We didn’t so fat or overeat because we ate vegetables. Most fast food only have a tiny bit of vegetables.
Obesity is a DISEASE on its own - it's not entirely to do with only food and behaviour. It's mostly a complex 'perfect storm' for each individual, most of the factors aren't even known by the medical experts and researchers. Other factors are the hormones and pesticides that are endocrine disruptors in cleaning products and in the food supply. ALSO: We may HAVE t ogo back to more than a few of these since food scarcity and costs are a factor - not everyone can AFFORD 'modern' lighter and more fresh etc palettes - soooo, back to canned and budget friendly stuff. I'm betting a lot of these are making a comeback just out of frugality. *shrugs* I can't eat a lot of these since I have a gastric bypass and T1 diabetes, but I can adapt them. (I'll have to since my income is disabikty benefits). Good luck to everyone in these trying times.
It was never lunch but dinner most of the time when my Mom would make "Leftover" Suprize for a Saturday meal. She always hit the mark every time with the way she was able to take those "Leftovers" and make a new meal out of them. Loved it every time it was made.
Australia here. I remember dishes like Rice a Riso, Welsh rarebit, Vol au Vents, Coronation Chicken, Salmon Mousse, Chicken in Aspic. My parents even ate Lamb's Tongue in aspic! Salmon Kedgeree, Kippers, Lamb's Kidneys in Gravy, White Bait Fritters, Savoury Pancakes, Smoked Blue Cod with white parsley sauce, Sardines on Toast topped with tomato sauce. Curried sausages, Turtle Soup - all forgotten!
I’ve wanted to try Coronation Chicken since I’ve heard about but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Thanks for the reminder of sardines on toast, it’s been a long time since I’ve had it.
Beef stroganoff was one of my mother's favorite dishes to cook. Its ease of prep was its charm for her, who always found cooking a chore. She liked deviled ham and chipped beef for the same reason, both of which were readily available canned. What's easier than popping a can and spreading on bread? I have Vienna Sausages in my pantry as I write. But I'd never heard of banana ham Hollandaise, and I'm 71!
Turkey A-La-King was something we had after Thanksgiving and Christmas. Really miss the way mom made it. Even with her recipe I still can't make it as good as she did. Love you mom!
We need more restaurants that focus their menus on these throw back classics. Most people under 30 have no idea what most of these dishes are and it would be a shame to see them completely get forgotten about. And by the way, I don't buy that the reason these dishes have become less popular is due to people being more health conscious and wanting everything fresh.

Dang I’m only 6 minutes in and apparently me and my family haven’t moved forward in the world because sloppy joes is a weekly supper staple and lunch the next day at work. And green bean casserole is my wife’s favorite thing to cook for any “special occasion” her special occasion is whenever she wants to cook it
I still make every one of these. I'll share a liver hack. Soak your liver slices in milk for two hours before cooking. All the bitterness will be gone.
No thanks. My mother never made me eat liver and I'm not going to break with tradition. She never made spinach but I love all kinds of greens now. People in the '50's made a lot of food out of canned goods. Very plain cooking.
After soaking the liver in milk, bread it and fry until crispy on the outside, and take it out of the pan ( it won't be cooked through at this point) throw the onions in the an and place the liver on top of the onions so they get "onion steamed". That's how my grandmother taught me.
Some of these dishes are still favorites and staples of my family dinner table. And some are truly frightening! I cook sloppy joes, beef stroganoff, tuna casserole for example. Seafood Jello not so much.
I think cause we eat all different cultures throughout the week now and less American full cooked meals. American cook burgers on Monday. Chinese food on Tuesday. Fast food on Wednesday. Italian spaghetti or Alfredo Thursday-Friday. Bbq on Saturday. Soul food on Sunday ik every week ain’t the same but it be the same 😂
The manwhich can isn't as good as it used to be , I'm thinking of adding hot sausage in mine with ground beef and perhaps adding some pepper, maybe jalapeños, fresh . Gotta fix it . And served on Kiser rolls is so good !
I never had liver and onions when I was a kid, because my mom wouldn’t cook liver! But when I got out of the house, I tried it, and loved it! If a restaurant that I go to serves it, I’m definitely getting it. I also love fried chicken livers! Probably more than beef liver. I’ve also had venison liver, and it is also good!
Chicken a la king, Liver and onions Walcott salad Pineapple chicken Best Stroganov. All of these have been made eaten and enjoyed in last couple of months in our house.??
Maybe it's just the area I grew up in being stuck in a time loop but I grew up eating all of these and now at 28 years of age I make most of these for my family.
Sloppies, tuna noodle, stroganoff, chicken ala king, Waldorf salad, green bean casserole, SOS, spam, pickled eggs, we still have these occasionally. Maybe just a little change in meats due to salt content.
I'm fixing to turn 43 and I've had and was still feasting on most of these great meals, I had a wake up call from the Lord that had made me want to eat healthier. I used to be able to eat a no: 7 washtub full of that good stuff. But them rewarding cheat days are great. I enjoyed this video.
I'm 39 and I cook about half of these, many of the rest I eat when I visit my parents. Very few of these seem lost to me. My 4 year old loves tuna casserole and sloppy Joe's. And we have beef stroganoff one or two times every winter.
If you served in the US military in the late 80s, Chicken Ala King sure leaves a different memory in the old memory barn. One of the WORST MRE’s ever invented. I tried to feed it to my farm dog on leave once, and he wouldn’t touch it!
I use cream of celery and frozen green beans for my green bean cassarole. The crisp green beans and the flavor of the celery opens up the palette to make it more fragrant and flavorful.
Vienna sausage and fried rice was my staple when I had my brief stint at a local dollar store. When I was still going to school, SOS with egg in a toast was my constant meal. Maybe with social media and the "health conscious" fashion, they aren't seen as often, but in ordinary people's lives, you can still easily find these.
I am GenX and we ate these dishes 70s-80s growing up. I love Waldorf salads especially with grapes in it. My Mom used to cook. My Mom used salmon to make cream salmon on toast much like the sauce for the chipped beef, just substitute salmon. We loved SPAM sandwiches. Great for camping, too. Not much on pickled beet eggs. Not into the banana dishes. I like my gelatine fruit flavored and plain.
My mom would put that Campbells Beef Consume can in the refrigerator which would firm it up into an aspic and then eat that for lunch when she was on a diet!
Don't know ANYONE who has abandoned the sloppy Joe !!🫢😱 They are just too delicious !! And tuna casserole ? Yum ! That is probably one of the easiest things to make. RiceA Roni is still a favorite. Who told you that these things were abandoned ? Not in my home they haven't.
As of late there are a lot of videos where it seems the content creators are intentionally being contrary just to stimulate replies which powers the algorithm.
@@kewrock You took my answer lol...same here...I and extra noodles if I have to feed more people out of the same pack...Do what you have to do in this Biden "RAT PARTY" economy.
That totally sounds like old school military food. Some of it borrowed recipes from Europeans like stuffed cabbage rolls, bell peppers, Hungarian goulash, and the like.
I'm south Slavic European and I enjoy these videos because they are a window into US culture that popular media or news don't show. The human side. Stay awesome, my US brothers and sisters!
Great to have you here, but be aware that these are still common foods in the US. If you read the comments on this video, you will that practically everyone is still eating these at home.
I do! I liked most but one thing I couldn't stand was tomato soup we used to get, the smell still sticks with Me after all these years. One time, I was on a job years ago and we were working in a school and I smelled that smell again, yuck! They should have put Mr. Yuck stickers on that soup!
Ditto. They go from standards people still eat like sloppy joes and chicken a la king to obscure stuff that never made it into the standard cookbooks of the time like ham and banana hollandaise or banana meatloaf. The fact that the guys selling bananas suggested these recipes does not mean people actually made them. But what do you want. The guy pronounces buffet with a hard "t."
We eat Manwiches all of the time. Ground beef in the freezer and cans of Manwich in the pantry? A fast, delicious meal, when all you have to remember to get are the buns.
You can buy the stuff peppers in the prepared food section at Costco. I have also seen them at my local store. They are not gone. I hope you enjoy yours. They are good.
@@leahjuniper2031 I never cared to much for sloppy joes or the stuff the call American goulash no I might be because of the greasy ground beef they used for school food
None of these dishes featured in the video have vanished from our family's table! Tuna Noodle Casserole and Sloppy Joes are just two of our absolute favorites. Thanks so much from Canada ♥
Looks like Canadians still cook dinner every night while most Americans don't so salute to you for not only cooking but cooking these meals we used to have when I was growing up in the 70s-80s
We don’t eat meals together as a family because people don’t put an importance on that any more. There is a difference on what the American family looks like it’s not like it was 50 years ago. 4:28
@@ghostladydarkling3250 I'm kind of afraid of that banana meatloaf. I use my mother's recipe for meatloaf. It has bell peppers and onions, but no banana. I did make split pea soup last night with carrots and smoked sausage in it.
My dad was in the military and I grew up on an Army base and severed myself in the 10th Mountain Division for 15 yrs.....I have eaten so much S.O.S in my life it's not even funny but it's still one of my favorite (bring back memories) dishes.
Green bean casserole is like the only thing made around where I live on this list sloppy joes every now and then but everyone complains if they have to eat one
The creators of this video must be living under a rock. Many of these dishes are still being made by people today, as old style comfort foods still survive the generations.
I'm American and live in Egypt with my Egyptian wifey We eat sloppy Joe. We eat tuna casserole. Liver & onions.... twice a month. Green bean casserole is a hit in her family gatherings
...I still fix sloppy joes often. ...I still fix Rice-A-Roni often. ...I still fix tuna casserole often. ...I still fix beef stroganoff a couple times a year. ...I still fix green bean casserole several times a year, especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas. ...I still fix SOS for breakfast often. It reminds me of my grandmother, who used to make it for me as a kid. ...I still eat Vienna sausages often. In fact, I just ate some over the weekend.
My mom loved liver and onions. I remember,as a kid, I would come home from school. If I smelled that in the house, I would tell my mom, I WAS GOING TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE UNTIL THE SMELL WAS GONE.😝 I will never, Never, eat that junk. GROSS.
My kids love my sloppy joes. Made from scratch, takes about an hour to get it together, then let it simmer for about 2 hours, then enjoy! Sometimes I put them in the fridge overnight. They are gone in a day!
Some of these disapeared because companys making these tampered with the ORIGINAL recipe by putting different cheaper meats, different tastes, and a no more quality attitude.
Through the whole thing made me keep mumbling, “dang healthy eating”. It’s why McDonalds fries lost their number one spot in the fast food industry; they used to be fried in lard and I’m old enough to remember the switch to vegetable oil, took a while to get used to.
Lard is actually good for you. It's just high in calories. Vegetable oil from plant seeds, which is what they usually call vegetable oil are actually poison and taste like ass because you're body knows they are poison.
People are not eating these dish, not because they are eating more health, it's because they don't know how to cook. They go out to fast food joints and restaurants. For those that still cook a lot of these are still on the menu.
That one and Shrimp Wiggle are two dishes I have never heard of before now. Not a fan of shrimp with cream, so I'll pass. But the Banana in meatloaf sounds intriguing.
Here's a couple I remember, baloney sandwich with American cheese on white bread with tomato soup, or canned pork and beans with cut up hot dogs in it otherwise known as beans and weenies. The only molded salads I had was fruit salads in jello. Hot dogs were also added to mac and cheese for a quick meal.
Fried baloney, yes, it was also a breakfast meat at our house, as well as a great lunch meat for sandwiches. Also, my mom would take a package of hotdogs, split the hotdog, and tuck some american or velveeta cheese in there, then put it under the broiler. Not eaten in a bun, this was the meat entree 😉 We kids loved this meal.
These dishes are still around everywhere. At least for those of us that grew up cooking (we had cooking class in grade 7 onwards in the late 70s/80’s. ) The problem today is most generations after Gen X , can’t even cook a basic meal - they are used to Uber Eats, Door Dash and eating out every single day. My neighbour as an example , cannot even make coffee. He orders Starbucks delivery , same with breakfast lunch and dinner. Every day. He spends more in a single day on delivery food than I do cooking at home daily , for a week. It’s insane - like $100 to $150 a day on delivery meals I can make a big one pot meal , say beef stew, portion it , freeze enough for 10 meals , and it costs me less than $25 (beef pricy in Vancouver) Meatloaf is a godsend for thrifty cooking . And is very versatile
What’s a beloved lunch that seems to have disappeared over the years?
Leg of mutton.
Mastodon meatballs.

Anyone ever do Kraft Macaroni and cheese with tuna when you needed to eat something? It was the night before payday dinner.
With tuna, cut up hot dogs or even some fried, crumbled hamburger. I've made all three. In fact, I prefer it with some kind of meat added.
Used to make it regularly ! "Macaroni and cheese, tuna fish and peas"..yum !
Yes! Although I make my own cheese sauce. One of my fave comfort foods.
Mac'n cheese with cubed up spam. 😊
I do. Crush some potato chips on top, too. Whatever flavor chips you like.

I never had liver and onions when I was a kid, because my mom wouldn’t cook liver! But when I got out of the house, I tried it, and loved it! If a restaurant that I go to serves it, I’m definitely getting it.
I also love fried chicken livers! Probably more than beef liver.
I’ve also had venison liver, and it is also good!
I love fried beef liver/oinion/garlic/laurel with a side mashed potato. 🤤
Luby's has liver and onions
Chicken a la king,
Liver and onions
Walcott salad
Pineapple chicken
Best Stroganov.
All of these have been made eaten and enjoyed in last couple of months in our house.??
I love fried beef liver/oinion/garlic/laurel with a side mashed potato. 🤤
Don't know what you're talking about, we still make many of the dishes here in my home, my parents, relatives and friends also make them.
Maybe it's just the area I grew up in being stuck in a time loop but I grew up eating all of these and now at 28 years of age I make most of these for my family.
Sloppy Joes are an anchor in my life and nothing will ever change that.
One of the most stupid things i've heard people say is i don't put that in my body. People today i don't think enjoy anything.
🤣😂😆 frequently smokers!
And yet they will put worst into thier bodies or mouth..😁
I don't put lead paint in my body?
Or, I don't put hemlock in my body?
@@bl8388 what is hemlock
@@bl8388 you don't put lead paint in your body or hemlock you are not making any sense at all. Paint would be poison to the body
I remember "most" of those , from Hamburger Helper, or Tuna Helper, back in the '70's. I do, sort of miss it.
This was not bad cuisine afterall. A bit too sugary to my french palate but overall good and tasty.
Sometime simple dishes are the best ones. 🍽
Sloppies, tuna noodle, stroganoff, chicken ala king, Waldorf salad, green bean casserole, SOS, spam, pickled eggs, we still have these occasionally. Maybe just a little change in meats due to salt content.
RICE A RONI SLOPPY JOE...MAN I'M HUNGRY 💥🎯💯
I'm fixing to turn 43 and I've had and was still feasting on most of these great meals, I had a wake up call from the Lord that had made me want to eat healthier. I used to be able to eat a no: 7 washtub full of that good stuff. But them rewarding cheat days are great. I enjoyed this video.
fried spam Sammy on toast
I'm 39 and I cook about half of these, many of the rest I eat when I visit my parents. Very few of these seem lost to me. My 4 year old loves tuna casserole and sloppy Joe's. And we have beef stroganoff one or two times every winter.
We've had most, if not all, of the first half of this video's entries in the past month made from scratch. They are still enjoyed within our home.
If you served in the US military in the late 80s, Chicken Ala King sure leaves a different memory in the old memory barn. One of the WORST MRE’s ever invented. I tried to feed it to my farm dog on leave once, and he wouldn’t touch it!
My grands like deviled ham
I use cream of celery and frozen green beans for my green bean cassarole. The crisp green beans and the flavor of the celery opens up the palette to make it more fragrant and flavorful.
I make sloppy Joes and Chicken and Rice once a week for my family. Most of these dishes I still make and use.
Vienna sausage and fried rice was my staple when I had my brief stint at a local dollar store. When I was still going to school, SOS with egg in a toast was my constant meal.
Maybe with social media and the "health conscious" fashion, they aren't seen as often, but in ordinary people's lives, you can still easily find these.
I am GenX and we ate these dishes 70s-80s growing up. I love Waldorf salads especially with grapes in it. My Mom used to cook. My Mom used salmon to make cream salmon on toast much like the sauce for the chipped beef, just substitute salmon. We loved SPAM sandwiches. Great for camping, too. Not much on pickled beet eggs. Not into the banana dishes. I like my gelatine fruit flavored and plain.
Pimento cheese sandwiches were our food on train trips to Tennessee in the 50s. We put some peanut butter in with the pimientos and cheddar cheese.
only food I recognize are sloppy joes, Beef Stroganoff, green bean casserole and pimento cheese
Tasty 🤤
I’ve always had them with a little bit of bell pepper in them. Boy are they good!
I forgot about deviled ham. That was pretty good
That pineapple chicken looks yummy. Going to have to get me some of that :)
We still have Stroganoff and Green Bean casserole, and Deviled ham and SPAM are both still on the market. I do miss Sloppy joes................
Nutritionists are not happy.However these foods are fun.
1:25 man youre making rice a roni look really good rn
All of these dishes I’ve seen at family reunions in the last 5 years lol
I did not see chicken livers with plantain & friend onions. But I love beef Stroganov. I make it often. Not at midsummer, of course.
My mom would put that Campbells Beef Consume can in the refrigerator which would firm it up into an aspic and then eat that for lunch when she was on a diet!
Don't know ANYONE who has abandoned the sloppy Joe !!🫢😱 They are just too delicious !!
Don't know ANYONE who has abandoned the sloppy Joe !!🫢😱 They are just too delicious !! And tuna casserole ? Yum ! That is probably one of the easiest things to make. RiceA Roni is still a favorite. Who told you that these things were abandoned ? Not in my home they haven't.
Whoever made this doesn’t understand how many of these are still served regularly in American homes.
As of late there are a lot of videos where it seems the content creators are intentionally being contrary just to stimulate replies which powers the algorithm.
Yeah. Knorr makes a Rice-a-Roni copy. A dozen flavors. $1 a pouch. They sell millions.
@@kewrock You took my answer lol...same here...I and extra noodles if I have to feed more people out of the same pack...Do what you have to do in this Biden "RAT PARTY" economy.
Yeah, I know. Sloppy Joe's NEVER went away !
In a very few, select groups of homes. Just go to a restaurant and try to order any of these.
Ok, maybe beacuse im 60, but i still eat a majority of theses dishes
64 here and likewise.
Most of them are regulars for me at 52.
I am 72 and still make and eat most of these, but did lose Me at aspic.
@patriciayohn6136 me too lol.yuck
Right on chick! 53 here. Cans do wo once in a while 👍🏻💪🏼🥰
I also like stuffed bell peppers and porcupine meatballs and pot pies.
Don't know about porcupine meatballs. Was that road kill or did you go hunting with the Clampets😂😂😂
No porcupine meat in porcupine meatballs, and no pot in pot pies!
@@Sharlene-x4q"Porcupine" is actually mixing a whole lot of cooked rice into the ground meat, which could be meatloaf.
That totally sounds like old school military food. Some of it borrowed recipes from Europeans like stuffed cabbage rolls, bell peppers, Hungarian goulash, and the like.
Erikasquatsch, you've stolen my heart. Those are some of my favorite comfort foods, still to this day.
I'm south Slavic European and I enjoy these videos because they are a window into US culture that popular media or news don't show. The human side. Stay awesome, my US brothers and sisters!
Luv you too
Back at ya friend!
Thanks but read comments we still eat these foods .NOT an accurate account of what Americians
I totally understand I am German
Great to have you here, but be aware that these are still common foods in the US. If you read the comments on this video, you will that practically everyone is still eating these at home.
who remembers those school cafeteria lunches from the 1970's & before ?
I occasionally have flashbacks
I do! I liked most but one thing I couldn't stand was tomato soup we used to get, the smell still sticks with Me after all these years. One time, I was on a job years ago and we were working in a school and I smelled that smell again, yuck! They should have put Mr. Yuck stickers on that soup!
Designed, like prison food, to make those who eat it tired and devoid of energy.
@@winstonsmith502 you must have gone to the wrong school or wrong school district. 😁
I remember them from the early 50s.
Abandoned? I still eat sloppy joes. I still eat tuna casserole as well. Basically NONE of what you mentioned has been "abandoned".
I am becoming convinced that these videos are from an alternate universe.
Ditto. They go from standards people still eat like sloppy joes and chicken a la king to obscure stuff that never made it into the standard cookbooks of the time like ham and banana hollandaise or banana meatloaf. The fact that the guys selling bananas suggested these recipes does not mean people actually made them.
But what do you want. The guy pronounces buffet with a hard "t."
Must be from the future, because I wasn’t aware these had faded.
@@rebeccaburton7150 maybe the younger crowds?
Probably
"The past is a foreign country. They do things differently there."
Literally just made sloppy joes for my daughter’s bridal shower 2 days ago… and we have rice a roni like once a month.. they have not faded at all 😂😂
We eat Manwiches all of the time. Ground beef in the freezer and cans of Manwich in the pantry? A fast, delicious meal, when all you have to remember to get are the buns.
Still make beef stroganoff yummy. Fresh mushrooms make it delicious
I love sloppy joes. I have to make them twice a week.😊
When your generation goes extinct, these recipes will go with you.
Do more research
I still eat Sloppy Joes, Tuna casserole, Green bean casserole, Rice-a-Roni, Stuffed Peppers all the time. I am 30
You can buy the stuff peppers in the prepared food section at Costco. I have also seen them at my local store. They are not gone. I hope you enjoy yours. They are good.
My dad and I, ages 60 and 31 respectively, still eat like half of these at least once a week
Quite right, too! Sounds like my son and I with our UK equivalents.
@johnbruce2868 what are 20 UK equivalents ??
Lucky ....hope ya both make 65 ! Processed trailer food!

Please tell me that the ham & bananas, and the aspic dish are two that you eat once a week
I'm a tad bit confused because every single one of these are still popular and enjoyed greatly from where I come from...so ummm...weird.
Yes indeed, regularly enjoyed from coast to coast on a daily basis.
You live in a throwback... and I'm envious
This isn't the first time they screwed up like this.
The bananas and ham hollandaise???
Egg Salad in Aspic????
Our country; the US, never abandoned sloppy joes and creamed chipped beef.
I see. You represent the entire country. Good job.
Yep if it was abandoned then why is it still in shops. I eat them once or twice a month.
And your sniping comment contributes nothing.
The creamed chip beef we call shit on a shingle.. lol Idk why.. there were several things on this list we still eat where I'm from.. N.O. La
I see you're representing the Assholes in the country!
Wish someone had told me all these dishes faded into history because I still eat them. Having sloppy Joes tonight with leftover chicken a la king.
That’s random lol.
right? When did sloppy joes go away? I just had them a couple weeks ago lol
I'm a GenX and I was raised by my grandparents. I grew up on all of these dishes and I still make some of them to date. My kids love them.
This GenX can affirm!
yes, my wife and i are gen x and exactly,,most are on our plates also
I like mayo but not as a dressing so I don't like Waldorf! Like green bean casserole!
I would like pineapple n chicken
My Dad called chipped beef on toast he called it shit on a shingle
I’m 82, and can remember the time I had my first Sloppy Joe, it was at a party in the 50s at my friend’s Jim birthday party.
I'm 70. my first sloppy Joe was with my church youth group staying with another church family.. boy was it good. I still9ve and eat sloppy joes.
Sloppy Jim
I’m 134, I just shit myself.
@@CallMeKerchak your mother is calling you. .Leave the basement.
@@leahjuniper2031 I never cared to much for sloppy joes or the stuff the call American goulash no I might be because of the greasy ground beef they used for school food
None of these dishes featured in the video have vanished from our family's table! Tuna Noodle Casserole and Sloppy Joes are just two of our absolute favorites.
Thanks so much from Canada ♥
I guess Canadians still cook their own meals salute to you because most Americans don't
Looks like Canadians still cook dinner every night while most Americans don't so salute to you for not only cooking but cooking these meals we used to have when I was growing up in the 70s-80s
We don’t eat meals together as a family because people don’t put an importance on that any more. There is a difference on what the American family looks like it’s not like it was 50 years ago. 4:28
Including the banana recipes? Every time the bananas came out, things got weird
@@ghostladydarkling3250 I'm kind of afraid of that banana meatloaf. I use my mother's recipe for meatloaf. It has bell peppers and onions, but no banana. I did make split pea soup last night with carrots and smoked sausage in it.
My dad was in the military and I grew up on an Army base and severed myself in the 10th Mountain Division for 15 yrs.....I have eaten so much S.O.S in my life it's not even funny but it's still one of my favorite (bring back memories) dishes.
My wife still makes a great beef stroganoff. Great on a cold winter night, real comfort food.
Lucky guy..tell her !
My wife beats me after a night of hard drinking, she hates whatever I cook !
@@ukestudio3002 Yeah tell her to cook for all of us, too.
It's great when you want tasty food, then to take like a 10 hour nap because you're so full.
I don't know about you all but in my home we're still eating some of these.
Same
Green bean casserole is like the only thing made around where I live on this list sloppy joes every now and then but everyone complains if they have to eat one
@@gohanthegoat4203we do sloppy joes on Hawaiian or brioche buns. My kids love it!
That’s because you are a normal family just like mine. Keep enjoying this delicious food.
The creators of this video must be living under a rock. Many of these dishes are still being made by people today, as old style comfort foods still survive the generations.
I'm American and live in Egypt with my Egyptian wifey
We eat sloppy Joe. We eat tuna casserole.
Liver & onions.... twice a month.
Green bean casserole is a hit in her family gatherings
...I still fix sloppy joes often.
...I still fix Rice-A-Roni often.
...I still fix tuna casserole often.
...I still fix beef stroganoff a couple times a year.
...I still fix green bean casserole several times a year, especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
...I still fix SOS for breakfast often. It reminds me of my grandmother, who used to make it for me as a kid.
...I still eat Vienna sausages often. In fact, I just ate some over the weekend.
I still make Rice-A-Roni...in the microwave.
Good ol shit on a shingle..
@@CrazyBear65 Love it! Had it in the US Navy and was hooked ever since!
i read this like a song.
The only one a rarely have is Rice-A-Roni. All the others I eat somewhat regularly
Sloppy joes with homemade crispy fries and ice cold iced tea ... yes!
Now I’m hungry
tastes like summer ❤
This might be heresy, but i like putting sloppy joe meat on hotdog buns. I call it the Meticulous Joe, as it is significantly less sloppy, haha
My mom loved liver and onions. I remember,as a kid, I would come home from school. If I smelled that in the house, I would tell my mom, I WAS GOING TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE UNTIL THE SMELL WAS GONE.😝 I will never, Never, eat that junk. GROSS.
Sloppy Joe’s still are made in this household. A bit old-school but still deelish!
We had sloppy Joe's just last week. Most delicious.
My kids love my sloppy joes. Made from scratch, takes about an hour to get it together, then let it simmer for about 2 hours, then enjoy! Sometimes I put them in the fridge overnight. They are gone in a day!
@@denniseaton3215I don't know what all you put into yours,but start to finish, mine takes less than one hour.
The family always made sloppy joes more or less from scratch. No mixes. Loved it!
Some of these disapeared because companys making these tampered with the ORIGINAL recipe by putting different cheaper meats, different tastes, and a no more quality attitude.
And lots of chemicals.
Through the whole thing made me keep mumbling, “dang healthy eating”. It’s why McDonalds fries lost their number one spot in the fast food industry; they used to be fried in lard and I’m old enough to remember the switch to vegetable oil, took a while to get used to.
Lard is actually good for you. It's just high in calories. Vegetable oil from plant seeds, which is what they usually call vegetable oil are actually poison and taste like ass because you're body knows they are poison.
Add some cooked chicken to Rice A Roni for a quick, cheap meal.
Or try mixing two different flavors
We make the Rice A Roni stir fried rice and put in cooked peeled shrimp. I have four boxes of Rice A Roni in my pantry right now.
@Reubenhubert i made rice-a-roni with shrimp just last night.
People are not eating these dish, not because they are eating more health, it's because they don't know how to cook. They go out to fast food joints and restaurants. For those that still cook a lot of these are still on the menu.
People are selfish narcissistic goofs these days.
Amen!
Delicious and much cheaper than eating fast food
This made me chuckle a little, because I think of many of them as quick to throw together, "convenience" meals.
@@wjb-wi6dt Whenever I make sloppy Joe's everyone loves them
"Ham and Banana Hollandaise"
Yeah, maybe there was a reason it 'faded into history'
Sounds like a dish B. Dylan Hollis would freak out over. (And he's been known to put the "Candle Salad" onscreen.)
I definitely never heard of that.
That one and Shrimp Wiggle are two dishes I have never heard of before now. Not a fan of shrimp with cream, so I'll pass. But the Banana in meatloaf sounds intriguing.
@@w.reidripley1968 Saw that.
@@DanTucci-w2b No, no it doesn't.
We had sloppy joes last night. My children and my grands love them
For a not-so-sloppy joe, I mix in some shredded cheese. I prefer a taco/Mexican blend.
@@advlandvideo sounds yummy.thanks for the tip🙂
@@rochelleb973 My pleasure.
We still make many of these. Sloppy joes and chipped beef never went out of style.
Here's a couple I remember, baloney sandwich with American cheese on white bread with tomato soup, or canned pork and beans with cut up hot dogs in it otherwise known as beans and weenies. The only molded salads I had was fruit salads in jello. Hot dogs were also added to mac and cheese for a quick meal.
I make egg McMuffins with Canadian bacon often. But fried bologna on white bread rule!
Fried baloney, yes, it was also a breakfast meat at our house, as well as a great lunch meat for sandwiches. Also, my mom would take a package of hotdogs, split the hotdog, and tuck some american or velveeta cheese in there, then put it under the broiler. Not eaten in a bun, this was the meat entree 😉 We kids loved this meal.
@@Reader0071: I'd give 100 thumbs up but......😊
We use Bush's baked beans for weenies and beans. Awesome!
Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup
These dishes are still around everywhere. At least for those of us that grew up cooking (we had cooking class in grade 7 onwards in the late 70s/80’s. )
The problem today is most generations after Gen X , can’t even cook a basic meal - they are used to Uber Eats, Door Dash and eating out every single day. My neighbour as an example , cannot even make coffee. He orders Starbucks delivery , same with breakfast lunch and dinner. Every day. He spends more in a single day on delivery food than I do cooking at home daily , for a week. It’s insane - like $100 to $150 a day on delivery meals
I can make a big one pot meal , say beef stew, portion it , freeze enough for 10 meals , and it costs me less than $25 (beef pricy in Vancouver)
Meatloaf is a godsend for thrifty cooking . And is very versatile
Wonder why that is. How come GenX can't seem to cook? It's a mystery.
No the problem today is that most of this shit is absolutely disgusting
