Victorian mock turtle soup was made with veal and ox tail. Made properly it is exquisite and is not thick like stew; it does not have potatoes or vegetables in it. Preparation takes 2 days as the base soups are made separately, left overnight (in fridge) to mature and are then combined the next day before serving.
I can get both at my local grocery store. I'll cook the roast beef hash for breakfast on weekends once in a while. I don't know why they would say it's "Faded Into History"
Canned Corned Beef hash is still a VERY popular food, with at least 6 different companies in the U.S. making it. I've never been in a market that didn't have it on the shelves.
I can buy "tripe soup" at any grocery store near me. It's called Menudo. Corned Beef Hash is also readily available, and popular. When people started hoarding during the lockdowns, the ALDI near me had to limit hash to 2 cans per visit.
Canned whole chicken: There was a MASH episode where Charles and Margaret got sick from it, which based on the commentary may have had some truth. Canned armadillo: nine-banded armadillos are a natural reservoir for LEPROSY! No thank you. I once went to a scotch tasting and they served fresh haggis. It wasn't bad; tasted very much like braunschweiger...which isn't a favorite of mine, but it's edible. I also spent some time in Japan for work. They gave me a "welcome to Japan" party at a bar/restaurant where they played "let's see what the gaijin will eat". I tried the chicken tripe in sauce (one bite) but I told them I drew the line at eyeballs (which they didn't have, I was just teasing them). I got them back though. We later went out to a westerner expat bar and gave them tequilla. Half of them didn't make it to work the next day. 😁
Canned whole chicken is still available, and there's nothing wrong with it, though the texture can be a bit off-putting if you don't know how to treat it.
If your corned beef hash is mushy, you need to fry it a little longer or turn the heat up a little higher under your skillet. Let it get a crispy crust before you turn it and then let the other side get crispy too. Don't be in such a hurry. Let it cook.
$2-$3 / can of creamed possum in the time frame stated is NOT inexpensive. In today's economy, that would be very pricey. $2 in 1950 would be the equivalent of $26.07 in 2024.
Why is corned beef hash in this list? Not only is it still available and from several different brands, but it’s popular in several areas in the US and UK still.
Corned beef hash is great I think. I have a can or two of it now. Food lion has cases of it for sale. I love it. Sweet Sue Chicken and Dumplings is still sold and is pretty good for the price. Fresh eel tastes like fried fish to me. You didn't mention my favorite Deviled ham.
Thankfully, corn beef hash is still readily available most anywhere. If it ever falls out of favor I'll end up concocting my own. Love the stuff with eggs biscuits and home fries for breakfast. Or any time.
I just love how "picky and judgemental" has been redefined here as "discerning" I realize this is marking my age, but growing up the only part of the animal we DIDN'T use was the squawk. If the brain didn't go into tanning the hide, it got cooked. Organ meat is generally where you find most of the vitamins and minerals. Fat either went into various sausage recipes, or was rendered for oil. If the hide DIDN'T get tanned, well, rawhide had to come from somewhere. For all the whining about "waste" ... we didn't.
Eating brains and other CNS neural material is how we got vCJD from cows with BSE - who got BSE from eating brain and spinal cord material from other cows with BSE and sheep with Scrapie. Also, there's CWD in deer and FSE in cats, and don't even ask where Kuru comes from. In addition, the type of infectious agent is linked to diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's (as if the guaranteed death from vCJD or Kuru wasn't enough). So there are REALLY freaking good reasons not to eat brains, but ok.... we are all just "picky". 🙄 Not to mention that sensory issues exist. So congrats on being both ableist and medically ignorant - and to think you're calling people who don't fancy a food the judgemental ones...! Edit: As for the "no waste" aspect - get over yourself. LMAO Older generations were some of the most wasteful in the 20th century. Just because some of y'all decided to eat everything but the oink, doesn't mean all of y'all did and nor does it mean that there is nobody who does that now, either. As I said. The irony of calling people who differ in food tastes from you "judgemental" is mind-blowing. 😂
12:50 As others have noted, Corned Beef Hash is still incredibly popular and is sold by several different companies as well as generics and store brands. They greatly reduced the salt and fat, the product is generally no longer as described in the video. While not expensive, it is not cheap, either and I rarely see any sales on it. Corned Beef Hash cooks wonderfully in an air fryer, but a frying pan works great, too. I don't buy it often, maybe a couple times a year when I happen to think about it, but it is pretty darned great for what it is.
Turtle soup was so popular on the West Coast the 19th century that whole areas were trapped clean of the Western Pond Turtle. That combined with habitat loss and introduction of the invasive Red Racer Turtle has meant that the Western Pond Turtle is rare today when at one time it existed in the millions. God help any creature that humans develop a taste for.
I don't know. Corned beef and corned beef hash are right there in local stores, and most of them have whole chicken in a can, which is basically a stewing chicken already stewed in a delicious chicken broth. The eel and quail eggs should be available in any neighborhood Asian supermarket.
Worked at an A&P back in the 1980s, and remember pork brains in milk gravy, I also remember they stayed on the shelf until they expired because nobody touched them🤢
@@samdavis1958 Of course not... I don't eat either. Have you seen grits straight out of the box? Or have You been eating kitty litter? Who cooks for you?
Being from California I'm not unaccustomed to stew and chili with local western rattler. We have lots of possum too but I've never tried it, although my sister has. I'll stick with snake. Beef tongue is pretty popular here too and is one of my faves in a burrito.
In the 1980s I cooked beef tongue for my children. We loved it. It's too expensive to buy now. In the 1950s we didn't have much money. My father caught catfish, and turtles. He hunted rabbits and squirrels too. My mother made turtle soup or fried slices of turtle meat. She fried the cut up pieces of squirrel.
Yes and I buy it regularly from the Taco Trucks and Mexican restaurants in my neighborhood. It was also a regular item on the menu when I studied in France.
I worked with a guy who ate canned " brains and eggs"...in a Vienna sausage sized can. The nutrition label said that small can had 1050% of the daily recommended amount of cholesterol..I was told it eas a traditional Eastern Kentucky breakfast food ( all of my relatives are from eastern Kentucky, and I never heard of it)... I called it zombie food...
There was a lady there who was convicted of murder of husband. Story goes he had a bad heart and she fed him squirrel brains and eggs for breakfast every day. Heart clogged up and he died. I think its just a myth but who knows.
Corned beef hash is fantastic. You can still get it pretty much everywhere. I eat a can every couple of months with an egg on top and ketchup. It's delicious. My family loves it.
Here in Georgia, USA, you can get canned boiled peanuts in the shells. Evidently a lot of people love the things but not me. I prefer dry roasted variety whether in shell or not.
BTW, that isn't how anyone who knows anything about food pronounced confit. Quail eggs are delicious! And trust me, the "culinary tastes evolved toward healthier food" line is not true. There was not an obesity epidemic in the 50s-80s and the first case of type 2 diabetes in America was Diamond Jim in the 1920s. Now, people live on processed, pink slime, fast food trash. My great grandparents lived to around 100 on nearly all sides of the family eating things like corned beef hash.
Ummm, Rose Pork Brains is still available at Walmart. Deer camp and a breakfast of brains and eggs was a standard. The milk gravy just worked as with no refrigeration you didn't pack milk along for the scrambled eggs. The Creamed Possum contained no Opossum meat (not the can couldn't even spell the name of the critter) Sweet Sue Canned Whole chicken.... That's hurricane supplies. Very long life shelf stable protein. When the roads are gone and the power lines are down.. a little four and water for dumplings and a can of Sweet Sue you have chicken and dumplings. The canned chicken is also good for chicken salad for lunch and boil the bones and liqid for soup broth. You need to include some old school shelf stable emergency supplies from the mid 20th century... Prairie Belt Canned Sausage which is chunks of link sausage in a can. And Banner Sausage which is a sausage past you can add to gravy for the biscuits. Corned Beef Hash is almost always made in South America. You can find a recipe for making it from scratch in the 19th Century Navy Cook's Guide calling for "bully beef and tatties". The Corned Beef was one of the "good" selections in a case of c-Rations. "Tripe Soup" isn't on the shelves but the same product as the 70s is on the shelves as "Menudo" which is trip and hominy soup. Canned Quail Eggs left the shelves after fresh quail eggs became widely available. Meh, quail eggs is a pretentious thing. If you really want good eggs you get blue duck eggs. .... just sharing some thoughts and memories spawned from this video. The canned fish has me wanting a midnight snack if kippers and melted cheese on toast.
Corned beef hash? I can't believe this on this list, although I understand the sodium dilemma. The lower sodium options now available work great and STILL gets that amazing crunch when it's made properly. Indispensable in my pantry, although I only partake occasionally.
"Offal-based" Awful is right!! But corned beef hash is good camping food! I remember sharing it with my dad as we drove from Iowa to our new home near Fairbanks, Alaska in 1977. They still sell it here in Michigan too.
I DO NOT understand how the content for this channel is chosen/aggregated, though I have to admit I keep watching the food-related videos. I've seen THREE videos this morning claiming that corned beef hash is one of the worst canned foods, a canned food from the 70s that has somehow disappeared, and a breakfast from the 70s that has somehow disappeared. Not true, as other commenters have said! Also, 30 seconds of web browsing reveals that creamed possum is a gag gift item, and was never a real thing. Sheesh!
First on my list would be Creamed Possum,Granny Clampett would approve. Followed by fish balls in a distant second. I bought B&M Brown Bread in a can in 1973 for 99 cents and had it with their baked beans,it was quite a good meal for under $2.
Sweet Sue still makes canned chicken products. They make chicken and dumplings, boned chicken, canned white meat chicken, chicken broth and yes the whole chicken. By the way confit is pronounced confee.
I'm Cajun yet I've never had turtle soup. Id eat the rattle snake if it were presented like smoked oysters are. Screw the lamb tongues but I worked for Persians that ate fresh ones😵💫. My mom used tripe for some weird Italian soup she was raised on. I like fresh alligator meat deep fried 😍. My mom liked canned corned beef hash. I'm NEVER eating an armadillo 🤮. I remember the fish balls🤠. They ruined the duck confit😢. Actual escargot are the BEST🥰. All in all a very entertaining video🌹
I wish Spam would fade into history...Had to eat it like 3 or 4 times a week...I wont have it, powdered milk, mac and cheese, Puffed Rich cereal( had the tecture and flavor of Styrofoam), Margerine (turns out its not healthy after all) and I refuse to make Tuna Noodle Cassarole....another thing weed have 3 to 4 times a week.. I remember canned whole chicken... it was a quick and convieniate way to make Chicken and Dumplings... Sort of miss this one... it was one of the more flavorful meals we had growing up...
Beef tongue is delicious; sliced cold tongue makes a to-die for sandwich. Fixed tripe once…did not eat and never prepared again. Turtle, braised and slow oven cooked, is worth the effort. Fixed fresh eel once, according to direction from friends at oriental market.
@@actionsub Menudo is served Saturday and Sunday mornings in Mexican joints all over So. Cal. Served with fresh onions and cilantro. Said to be good for a hangover.
@13:00 Corned beef hash. "Greasy, not healthy". Try to sell that line to someone who can't feed their children much less themselves. / You've never really been hungry before.
I've eaten a lot of things over the past 60 years. One of the best was porcupine many years ago in Texas. It tasted like roast pork hence the name. Out where we were, you ate what you could shoot.
One to two dollars a can is not an affordable price even today! Back in the 1960s I remember my mother buying four cans of Campbell's soup for a dollar! Canned vegetables cost 30 cents and frozen vegetables cost 35 cents! Many companies bragged that they used everything except the squeal or moo for their meat products. In the American South a lot of these canned goods were considered delicacies as fresh but not canned. Cornedbeef hash is still sold, and served in diners as well. I can remember cooking Hormel CBH in a frying pan then cracking a couple eggs onto it for breakfast. A lot of these canned foods look like dog vomit which is probably why they are not around today.
I remember seeing Pork Brains in Milk Gravy in the early 1990's at stores. They had like a week's worth of cholesterol per serving, according to the nutrition info. Never ate them, thank goodness.
I was hungry just as I clicked onto this. Pork brains in a creamy gravy came up. Suddenly I’m not peckish any more. Excellent diet food. Here in NZ , possum is made into Possyum, dog food. Our dogs LOVE it. Low fat, organic and high protein.
Most of these I've never heard of except they used to be eaten freshly prepared not canned. A coworker while in the military recounted a story of visiting his mother over the holidays, his wife a city girl, refused to eat the possum his mother had prepared and he had sorely missed. On the trip home his wife became hungry and asked him to stop for fast food, he refused referring to the leftover possum his mother had sent them. Long story short, his wife became so hungry, she broke down and tried the possum dish. By the time they arrived home, there wasn't any possum left for him, his wife's hunger, drove her to try something she didn't find appealing and to her surprise, found the dish was so tasty, she ended up pigging out on it. Again never heard of lambs tongue (there has to be a bad pun in here about the silence of the lambs) My father would fatten a steer every other year and would trade half the steer to the butcher to pay for custom processing of the other half that ended up in our huge freezer. Lots of hamburger, steaks and roasts. Also some of the lesser known cuts, like cows tongue. Which I came to hate. Thawed and cooked like a roast, it wasn't that appealing. The two things that really put me off tongue was the fact that I found a small patch of the bumpy skin, the other was the fact that a muscle like the tongue that is constantly moving, needs alot of blood flow, this leads the tongue to have blood vessels and by the time of preparation you cut into the meat only to expose a rubbery almost white tube embeded in the meat. Eeww! To both finds.
Lol, the canned whole chicken occasionally appears on a certain network’s cooking challenge competition. It always elicits groans from the competing chefs when it’s one of the four required ingredients in the basket.
I live in North Carolina. We have corned beef hash in every store around my area. I love having it for breakfast, especially if you cook it until crispy...
I was going to get something to eat but for some reason I am not hungry anymore.
Small wonder.
The reason being you're normal!!! 😉.

Sweet Sue Canned Whole chicken.... That's hurricane supplies. Very long life shelf stable protein. When the roads are gone and the power lines are down.. a little four and water for dumplings and a can of Sweet Sue you have chicken and dumplings. The canned chicken is also good for chicken salad for lunch and boil the bones and liqid for soup broth.
You need to include some old school shelf stable emergency supplies from the mid 20th century... Prairie Belt Canned Sausage which is chunks of link sausage in a can. And Banner Sausage which is a sausage past you can add to gravy for the biscuits.
Corned Beef Hash is almost always made in South America. You can find a recipe for making it from scratch in the 19th Century Navy Cook's Guide calling for "bully beef and tatties". The Corned Beef was one of the "good" selections in a case of c-Rations.
"Tripe Soup" isn't on the shelves but the same product as the 70s is on the shelves as "Menudo" which is trip and hominy soup.
Canned Quail Eggs left the shelves after fresh quail eggs became widely available. Meh, quail eggs is a pretentious thing. If you really want good eggs you get blue duck eggs.
.... just sharing some thoughts and memories spawned from this video.
The canned fish has me wanting a midnight snack if kippers and melted cheese on toast.
Corned beef hash? I can't believe this on this list, although I understand the sodium dilemma. The lower sodium options now available work great and STILL gets that amazing crunch when it's made properly. Indispensable in my pantry, although I only partake occasionally.
"Offal-based"
Awful is right!!
But corned beef hash is good camping food! I remember sharing it with my dad as we drove from Iowa to our new home near Fairbanks, Alaska in 1977. They still sell it here in Michigan too.
Corned beef hash & Roast beef hash are still around, and on the shelf.
I only made it through three minutes of this video before I felt sick. Sorry I couldn't finish.
My family all quite enjoy corned beef 😂 not the hash, though we chopped up our own potatoes.
I've had escargot. They had the texture of mushrooms. I thought they were fine..
U can still get Sweet Sue canned chicken...usually used as a quick way to make chicken and noodles.
I like the corn beef hash made by fresh corn beef onions and potatoes
Love corned beef hash....
Fried until edges are crispy.
We love canned corned beef hash and buy it often still.
I DO NOT understand how the content for this channel is chosen/aggregated, though I have to admit I keep watching the food-related videos. I've seen THREE videos this morning claiming that corned beef hash is one of the worst canned foods, a canned food from the 70s that has somehow disappeared, and a breakfast from the 70s that has somehow disappeared. Not true, as other commenters have said! Also, 30 seconds of web browsing reveals that creamed possum is a gag gift item, and was never a real thing. Sheesh!
First on my list would be Creamed Possum,Granny Clampett would approve. Followed by fish balls in a distant second. I bought B&M Brown Bread in a can in 1973 for 99 cents and had it with their baked beans,it was quite a good meal for under $2.
Wish the alligator was still around,it looks good
Had alligator shipped frozen from Louisiana up here to Indiana. Malate husband loved it, I thought it was ok.
Tastes like chicken.
Merci I enjoyed the vid, canned confit de canard (duck) is still a well selling product here in France.
As a kid in the 60s, I vaguely remember corn beef hash. I actually liked it.
Do not watch this video while eating!
You can still get corn beef hash. Ever had sushi? Urchin and fish roe are very popular especially in Japan.
The worst thing I ever had was spaghetti in a can. It almost made me puke.
You mean late 20th and 21st century. You do know this is the 21st century right? Some people are clueless because it's not taught very much anymore
They meant the 19th and twentieth💖
That one can of gator said adult cat food.
One might just long for many of these once they ate a few cans of the cheap brands of beef stew today.
The canned whole chicken could come in handy in a hurricane or other circumstance where electrical power is lost
And...
You could use it for a football..
If all else fails. 🎉.
Sweet Sue still makes canned chicken products. They make chicken and dumplings, boned chicken, canned white meat chicken, chicken broth and yes the whole chicken.
By the way confit is pronounced confee.
Canned meats are something handy when the power goes out. Also stock up when I have the money.
@@surf6009When the power goes out you ain't got to read the can.
I'm Cajun yet I've never had turtle soup. Id eat the rattle snake if it were presented like smoked oysters are. Screw the lamb tongues but I worked for Persians that ate fresh ones😵💫. My mom used tripe for some weird Italian soup she was raised on. I like fresh alligator meat deep fried 😍. My mom liked canned corned beef hash. I'm NEVER eating an armadillo 🤮. I remember the fish balls🤠. They ruined the duck confit😢. Actual escargot are the BEST🥰. All in all a very entertaining video🌹
I wish Spam would fade into history...Had to eat it like 3 or 4 times a week...I wont have it, powdered milk, mac and cheese, Puffed Rich cereal( had the tecture and flavor of Styrofoam), Margerine (turns out its not healthy after all) and I refuse to make Tuna Noodle Cassarole....another thing weed have 3 to 4 times a week.. I remember canned whole chicken... it was a quick and convieniate way to make Chicken and Dumplings... Sort of miss this one... it was one of the more flavorful meals we had growing up...
Beef tongue is delicious; sliced cold tongue makes a to-die for sandwich. Fixed tripe once…did not eat and never prepared again. Turtle, braised and slow oven cooked, is worth the effort. Fixed fresh eel once, according to direction from friends at oriental market.
From what I've heard, tripe is much more trouble to cook than it's worth. I want tripe, I'll go down to the soul food joint and get it made for me.
@@actionsub Menudo is served Saturday and Sunday mornings in Mexican joints all over So. Cal. Served with fresh onions and cilantro. Said to be good for a hangover.
@@antilogism Sadly, I'm in Southern Illinois.
@@actionsub Canned from Juanitas is pretty darned good.
@@antilogism I think that's the kind they sell here. I do like it!
@13:00 Corned beef hash. "Greasy, not healthy". Try to sell that line to someone who can't feed their children much less themselves. / You've never really been hungry before.
I've eaten a lot of things over the past 60 years. One of the best was porcupine many years ago in Texas. It tasted like roast pork hence the name. Out where we were, you ate what you could shoot.
When I was a kid in the 70s, I saw cow brains sold in the supermarket meat department next to the ground beef.
Duck con-fee is how you pronounce confit. I don’t want to step on your toes, sometimes we all could use a little help ❤
One to two dollars a can is not an affordable price even today! Back in the 1960s I remember my mother buying four cans of Campbell's soup for a dollar! Canned vegetables cost 30 cents and frozen vegetables cost 35 cents! Many companies bragged that they used everything except the squeal or moo for their meat products. In the American South a lot of these canned goods were considered delicacies as fresh but not canned. Cornedbeef hash is still sold, and served in diners as well. I can remember cooking Hormel CBH in a frying pan then cracking a couple eggs onto it for breakfast. A lot of these canned foods look like dog vomit which is probably why they are not around today.
I enjoy taking a can of corned beef and my own diced potatoes to make corned beef hash. Still really salty but less greasy and better tasting IMO.
I add 1/2 large white onion (any will work) and make 2 eggs over easy and I'm in heaven! ❤
@@BushcraftingBogan A quick, tasty and filling supper!
I remember seeing Pork Brains in Milk Gravy in the early 1990's at stores. They had like a week's worth of cholesterol per serving, according to the nutrition info. Never ate them, thank goodness.
You can still buy it.
High cholesterol because a brain is composed of it. The human brain is 20-25% cholesterol.
I was hungry just as I clicked onto this. Pork brains in a creamy gravy came up. Suddenly I’m not peckish any more. Excellent diet food. Here in NZ , possum is made into Possyum, dog food. Our dogs LOVE it. Low fat, organic and high protein.
Most of these I've never heard of except they used to be eaten freshly prepared not canned.
A coworker while in the military recounted a story of visiting his mother over the holidays, his wife a city girl, refused to eat the possum his mother had prepared and he had sorely missed. On the trip home his wife became hungry and asked him to stop for fast food, he refused referring to the leftover possum his mother had sent them. Long story short, his wife became so hungry, she broke down and tried the possum dish. By the time they arrived home, there wasn't any possum left for him, his wife's hunger, drove her to try something she didn't find appealing and to her surprise, found the dish was so tasty, she ended up pigging out on it.
Again never heard of lambs tongue (there has to be a bad pun in here about the silence of the lambs)
My father would fatten a steer every other year and would trade half the steer to the butcher to pay for custom processing of the other half that ended up in our huge freezer. Lots of hamburger, steaks and roasts. Also some of the lesser known cuts, like cows tongue. Which I came to hate. Thawed and cooked like a roast, it wasn't that appealing. The two things that really put me off tongue was the fact that I found a small patch of the bumpy skin, the other was the fact that a muscle like the tongue that is constantly moving, needs alot of blood flow, this leads the tongue to have blood vessels and by the time of preparation you cut into the meat only to expose a rubbery almost white tube embeded in the meat. Eeww! To both finds.
Hey!! That’s “Always Sunny Philadelphia” theme instrumental! Haha 😂 LOVED IT
Lol, the canned whole chicken occasionally appears on a certain network’s cooking challenge competition. It always elicits groans from the competing chefs when it’s one of the four required ingredients in the basket.
Corned beef hash, is the only one I could get past my nose.
I see corned beef hash everywhere
Fish balls are still sold as gefilte fish, especially near Passover. Sort of like fish bologna.
I have eaten many of these can foods over the years
but only the normal foods not the weird ones though
especially here in Oklahoma.🍞🥓😋🥛☕
Confit is not pronounced con-fit it’s pronounced con-fee!
Surprisingly, I thought this comment would be higher up.
I've never had a problem with Corned Beef Hash.
I live in North Carolina. We have corned beef hash in every store around my area. I love having it for breakfast, especially if you cook it until crispy...
Quail eggs vinegar pickled in a jar are stiil quite popular as they are sliced and served with a vineger salad.
