Hello. Good afternoon. I do not always love all the snacks from the 1970s that have disappeared. I prefer American snacks from the 2000s that have disappeared. Okay?
You forgot to mention the "Over The Kitchen Sink Tomato Sandwich" on 2 slices of sturdy white bread. Spread your Hellman's or Miracle Whip thickly on the bread, or whatever brand you want. Slice a nice red ripe tomato really thick, S & P it, & put it together, cut it on the diagonal. Then roll up your shirt sleeves, pick up your homemade treasure, & plant both elbows on the edge of the kitchen sink counter, bend way over with your neck & face, and commence to chomp out a great big bite, while the tomato juices & mayo's start to ooze into the kitchen sink. Not a good idea to order this in a restaurant, because they won't cut the Tomato thick enough, but if they do, it may cost around ten bucks. The absolute best "Tomato Sandwich" will be made from you picking your own tomato from your own garden while it's still sunshine warm, but store bought will have to do if you don't have your own garden. Happy Tomato Sandwich eating.
I almost agree with your recipe 100% but down my way its Dukes mayo or nothing....dang. Out of all these mentioned, a good ole kitchen sink matter sandwich is the one that has me salivating... nothing can beat them when you have a fresh from the back yard just 10 mins ago tomato. Like red ripe beefsteak or my fav Cherokee purple....yum num
I just heard about it and started making it a few years ago. We don’t do a lot of boxed foods but it sure is nice every once in a while to have that convenience.
If you live in a cold climate, remember this recipe for those fall or winter afternoons spent leaf raking or snow shoveling. Just imagine coming back inside and getting that first whiff of tamale pie aroma wafting through the house.....
I wasn't vibing with this video at all until he said Jiffy ground beef cornbread casserole. My ears suddenly perked up and I had to lean in and find out about this one
@@ricobhi .... Be aware that Jiffy cornbread mix is sweet and may not appeal to you atop a savory meat mixture. Easy to make from scratch or buy a lower sugar type.
Again it’s a brief video, they aren’t going to show every single thing! If you love the fluffier nutter, my mom made this spread/ dip that she got out of a magazine in the 70s and, it became our favorite evening snack that we ate on spread on graham crackers, basically, take the fluffier nutter concept, except you just add a tub of thawed cool whip and, mix it up in a bowl!
Ot many now remember that many, many rural areas still did not have electricity until after the war. Electrification didn't reach the whole country until the late Fifties. Well, among Midwestern farm women, jello was a status symbol, it meant you had a refrigerator and the electricity to run it. So, if you had a fridge, you brought a jello salad to every church supper.
@@gregggoss2210 yeah no doubt but there wasn't anything they wouldn't put into a Jello mold. I'm assuming they had a neutral flavored Jello that they can spice up anyway they wanted to. But still I won't even eat the gelatin that's in the can with the spam. Ew that's disgusting
Blimey ! 😬 Those sardines were dead twice over... No Scandinavian would have accepted that sardine massacre... Also a half filled tin is a rip off ! 😠 👩🦳🇳🇴
You can still find these in many small roadside diners and school cafeterias, even in food sections of places like Walgreens and Target. Olive Loaf is still sold in grocery stores. Chil Cheese Dogs can be found at the fast food place Wienerschnitzel, and are easily made at home
…Steak’ems!!! …Potted Meat Sammich!!! …Minced BBQ Sammich!!! …Slice of Sunbeam Bread with Pizza Sauce & shredded cheese on top & grilled to perfection!!!
LOL! we still eat 2 of these! was very surprised to see them even listed. peanut butter and pickle is a long time family favorite along with macaroni and cheese loaf!
Still have tuna melt sandwiches regularly. Just asked my mom for her tamale pie recipe since I think my kids will like it. Peanut butter and bacon sandwiches are so good.
I still remember the first time my mother made me a peanut butter and banana sandwich because I gave it away thinking the mayo must have gone bad. So to tease me she made me a peanut butter and mayo sandwich... both I learned were excellent and very quick to make.
I tried to hang in there, I really did. Started strong with the tuna melt. But the olive loaf, the Spam, the ravioli sandwich, and the tuna jello had me gaggin.
Me too, never had a turkey, bologna, sardine, olive loaf,peanut butter & jelly, spam or what ever else they are going to say next!😊 We ate grilled cheese, salami or ham. Real food.
There was a box dinner that Kraft used to sell called "egg noodle chicken dinner" that we had a lot when I was a kid in the late 70's and throughout the 80's. We usually had it as a side with grilled chicken. It was great. They don't make it anymore.
I couldn’t begin to tell you how many peanut butter and sliced dill pickle sandwiches I’ve eaten over the years. Sometimes I would add iceberg lettuce to the sandwich. I started making them in the late 1950’s. The last time I made one my wife asked what I was eating, after telling her, she said she couldn’t watch me eat it. lol 😂
This is interesting as I am from Hawaii, we have/had our own melting pot ubiquitous staples. Our school cafeterias in the 70’s regularly served: Pizza. Baked Spaghetti Casserole with melted cheddar. Sloppy Joe’s. Tuna Casserole. Fish Sticks with a scoop of steamed white rice and gravy. We also had Chicken Long Rice, a local Hawaiian staple a savory chicken broth with thick glassy noodles, and slivers of chicken, sprinkled with green onion. (Seasonings: White Pepper, Ginger, undetectable Soy Sauce.) Beef Stew & Rice. Curry stew & Rice. We had teriyaki chicken and adobo chicken, and on May Day, a Hawaiian Plate (laulau, lomilomi salmon, haupia, poi). Abd TERI Burgers!!! (Burgers where the patty is grilled with teriyaki sauce.) For snacks, we had lunch wagon trucks and Okaziya delis with finger foods and peasant foods. Manapua (BBQ Pork Bao). Pork Hash. Half Moons. Common after school snacks. It didn’t matter the ethnic groups (‘cept my Orthodox Jewish friends did not eat pork, of course); we all enjoyed all the foods. Musubi was a common lunch and snack. Today, people know about Fried Spam Musubi (our 7 Elevens sell them); but we grew up with triangle shaped ones, with the nori strip abd inside, an ume (tiny pickled plum). *** Uh. I just saw all of the items. We had tuna melts and baloney and cheese sandwiches. Uh. Most of this food looks… not like anything me or anyone I knew ever had or mentioned in Hawaii in the 70’s. Everyone had Okahara Saimin (healthier version of Top Ramen as the noodles are frozen, not deep-fried). Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches. One friend would eat Peanut Butter and Velveeta Cheese sandwiches. O yeah! Chili & Rice with cheese (and onions). Zippy’s Chili was a Thing. Sports teams would do fundraisers selling Zippy’s Chili. … but I have never heard of most of these 70’s meals.
I hadn’t even gotten through the first one yet and I ate tuna melts. I’ve been to deli where they sell them. When I was a teenager. I worked at a deli shop that sold them, and it was a chain.
Still do tuna melts, chicken salad melts are nice too...next? I do fish sticks now too, just never had as a sandwich. EVER and I grew up in the 70's and late 60's, early 80's. Still do the turkey & cranberry (don't forget the dressing - stuffing, w/e... ok, you didn't) sandwich at least 2-3x a year anyway ;) Still will, once or twice every 4-5 years anyway... the fried bologna sandwich. never did even hear about the curry sardine sandwich... ever, let alone taste - sounds interesting might need to try that one. Love curry powder. Mom loved the olive & pickle loafs... (she might still) I never tried. Never had, nor heard of the bologna 'boats' hmmm Peanutbutter & bacon sandwich tho, I have had. Still have - yum. Hold the bananna for me tho. Thx. I still do the spam and pineapple sandwiches. I boil the spam 1st tho to reduce the extreme salt content in the meat... Jiffy & ground beef casserole... never heard of, nor had. But again, might need to try it! Again, never heard of, nor had a ravioli sandwich. PeanutButter & Pickle sandwich I've had & I do like it, so I still have it. That jello 'salad' is too strange for me, never had it, not planning on it. I like rice pudding, still have it... never had w/ anything except cinnamon tho. Love chili cheese dogs, have on avg at least once a month - not as a casserole tho... but still have beanie weinies a time or 2 a month.... Egg Foo Young sandwich - never heard of the sandwich version - again, may need to try... Never had, but think I HEARD about the cheese Souffle. Never had a chance to try. Sloppy Joe casserole tho - yes and tbh, I forgot that one... but I love it, I think we'll have that next week!
Never heard of pb with bacon and banana slices or pb with dill pickle slices, just the drab, bland pb and mayo samich. Definitely trying the one with bacon and banana soon.😋👍💯
My brother would eat the peanut butter and banana, we make the cornbread topped meal. But we use real cornbread from scratch!! Some of these sandwiches we’ve eaten, some I never made!
I miss peanut butter and banana sandwiches OR peanut butter and butter. My grandmother would give us one of these sandwiches with a glass of milk. YUM!!
Coco’s had a Ranchero burger they took off the menu and 10 years later you could still order it and the chefs knew how to make it. Open face burger on grilled Rye, green Ortega chilis, Monterey Jack cheese, topped with a fried egg, salsa on the side.
I still eat fried beef bologna sandwiches. I don’t put anything else on them, just eat with white bread. Back in the 70s when fondues were around we cut spam into chunks and fried it in the oil. I was surprised how good it tasted. Lol
Wow, this video brought back so many delicious memories! The Tuna Melt on Rye was my absolute favorite. It's fascinating to see how these once-popular lunches have faded over time. Which of these nostalgic bites would you love to see make a comeback?
Not sure where this guy lives but I still see most of these on menus in NJ. Ok the sardine one...gag! I LOVED Olive Loaf as a kid (in the 60's) and I still eat SPAM! Tuna Jello? YUCK. Growing up Catholic when we could not eat meat on Friday, I had my fill of tuna and can't even stand the smell of it now.
If you dont have canned spam in an asian household in the US in your kitchen pantry, you aint Asian. Im Viet , raised by a WWII marine vet. We Ate spam once or twice a week for lunch or dinners . My dad would never eat it after 4 yrs of hell fighting in the Pacific but we kids loved it. I always have canned spam in my kitchen pantry even after my kids have flown the coup. Thanks dad love and miss ya.
STILL AROUND Tuna melt still sold at friendlies restaurants. Fish stick sandwiches have too much breading and too little fish. Turkey and cranberry sandwiches are best with stuffing inside too. Fried baloney is my son's favorite. Sardine's are a staple at my house along with canned octopus, I guess it's from my youth because my grandfather was in the Portuguese Merchant Marines during WWI. Olive loaf is on my shopping list weekly. MOST OF THE REST I'VE NEVER HEARD OF What I miss is you can't find flavored items in stores anymore. I always loved the onion flavored tator tots - can't find them. Most of these things are still around if you know how to cook, but most of America got lazy when microwaves were introduced and every 4-8 years when a new first lady decides to condemn school children to tasteless and actually unhealthy foods they don't want. What's good for adults has nothing to do with what's good for active children who burn 20x as much calories while active in school. Let the kids decide what their bodies need and stay out of school cafeterias govt.
It’s pronounced baloney! And I don’t know where this guy lives but fried bologna is a staple in diners and family restaurants across the Midwest. Usually it is thick sliced bologna.
@nixarrowman78 it's not just the old, here in Southern Appalachia, fried bologna sandwiches are even served in the schools. Everyone grew up eating them around here so even the kidos ask for them.
Jello "salads" or molds were/are huge in the Midwest. Tuna in a jello mold usually isn't made with sweetened jello it is made with unsweetened gelatin. However, it is something found in a lot of cookbooks from the 70's. I have so many of my grandmother's cookbooks from the 50-80's and the 70's have a ton of savory gelatin based recipes 🤢🤮
Two pieces of fresh loaf 🍞, Miracle Whip on both slices, lettuce, tomato,a dash of black pepper,and a couple slices of Thanksgiving Day turkey. It's still remains me of my grandmother and my still favorite sandwich to make 🥰😋🥪.
Literally have Tuna Melts, Thanksgiving Sandwiches, Pizza Burgers, and Fried Baloney sandwiches on the menu at the restaurant I work at right now and make at least 4-8 a day of each EVERY DAY.
Ok, anyone else come to this channel at this point to just point out the foods that are still being eaten and are NOT forgotten at this point?!?! Because I'm sure bologna and cheese and tuna melts aren't going anywhere.
I've discovered that Cranberry Sauce goes well with ANY meat not just Turkey. Pork, Beef, Lamb are also ideal companions. Served hot is best I take the lid off and put the entire jar in the microwave for 90 seconds. Warning : use oven gloves it gets VERY hot. Ladled over any meat gives the meal another dimension.
The BEST part of the actual Thanksgiving day meal IS THE LEFTOVERS in sandwiches. We even added a thin layer of stuffing along with the cranberry jelly. 😋 😋
As I am sure most know, these foods never went away in rural, Amish, Mennonite, Pennsylvania Dutch areas. Anyone trying make it with the prices these days, still eat these foods.
@@Karlsz That isn't a PA Dutch food. But, I have eaten Sardines. If times are tough, people will come up with ideas to keep food boredom away.. as I said most foods, that doesn't mean all.
@@terrimoore7082 I remember fancier people making that when I was younger. We had creamed tuna on toast. I learned how to make tuna noodle casserole in Home EC. That was in the 1960s.
Back in the mid 70's my mom would make open faced grilled tuna , whole wheat bread lightly toasted, top with the tuna salad of your choice, a couple of hearty slices of tomato and topped with sharp cheddar, a little cracked black pepper and salt, run under the broiler until the cheese bubbled and toasted. It was DELICIOUS!
We did that with mashed potato. Pile on toast with sprinkle of grated cheese and squirt of tomato sauce/ketchup. Everyone thinks it sounds horrible until they taste it.[ everything needs to be hot}. yes, that needs to be specified. Baked beans is a meal where I live. Hot beans on hot buttery toast eaten with a knife and fork. Watched a vid with Americans trying this but they put a spoonful of cold beans on a hunk of cold unbuttered bread. Yuck! They wondered why we called this a meal although most quite liked it.
Just thinking that…popular in the 1950’s?? I wasn’t born yet, ha! Boxes of Kraft Mac and cheese were my brothers fav, I loved banana and PB sandwiches myself…anything Chef Boy’ardee….
@@martybee6701 When I was a sick little girl Mom always fixed me rice pudding. Always felt better. . . but getting to read MAD magazine in bed helped a lot too😅.
Thanks for sharing this 👍 Iam still Old school at age 57 And I still eat all of these foods and many other 70’s Forgotten Meals. I absolutely love cooking for leisure and entertaining friends. Many of my younger friends have always thought I’ve been a little bit weird, but when they tried some of these things and realized how good things tasted, It kind of changed their way of looking at things. Iam about as old school as it gets and happy to remain that way.
What’s a beloved lunch from your 1970s that seems to have disappeared over the years?
Hello. Good afternoon. I do not always love all the snacks from the 1970s that have disappeared. I prefer American snacks from the 2000s that have disappeared. Okay?
@@marklopez7775 well find a post about 2000 snacks and move along.

@@ethelnewberry151 best foods/ Hellman’s is my fave. Miss me entirely with that cool whi........ I mean miracle whip. It’s too sweet
That "Jiffy ground beef cornbread casserole" was called "Tamale Pie" on the Jiffy box and in cookbooks of the era.
I still love a tamale pie. Yum!
I just heard about it and started making it a few years ago. We don’t do a lot of boxed foods but it sure is nice every once in a while to have that convenience.

That Tuna Jello mold though😂 how can you not unsee it
Oh heck, there were far worse food items stuck into Jell-O .... disgusting most of them! Olives, coleslaw, or hard boiled eggs!
It wasn't appealing before, and that didn't help things.
I’m trying real hard. I’ll keep you posted.
I grew up in the 70’s and never heard of tuna jello mold! Yuk. Sometimes we would have green jello with grated carrots in it and that was yuk.
Wow, it took me forever to realize that one mold at 12:25 was a lobster and not something else. 😂
Where is the FLUFFERNUTTER? Long live the Fluffernutter sandwich 🥪!!!
Amen 🙏 ❤loved it as a kid!
Yes!
We still make the fluffernutter in our house
Again it’s a brief video, they aren’t going to show every single thing! If you love the fluffier nutter, my mom made this spread/ dip that she got out of a magazine in the 70s and, it became our favorite evening snack that we ate on spread on graham crackers, basically, take the fluffier nutter concept, except you just add a tub of thawed cool whip and, mix it up in a bowl!
Marhmellow sandwich? 😂😂
We never ever ever need tuna jello again.
Exactly
No🤢🤮
Shit I still enjoy a a fried bologna and cheese sandwich
White bread, bologna and cheese. Nothing else.
Just had one for lunch! Thick sliced garlic bologna on salt rising bread. Dee-lish
Red neck sandwich 🤢
Yup!!! Yum not white bread though!!!
@@lorettacarroll6015 oh you gotta have Hellmanns mayo
Tuna and lime jello????????? I'm going to hurl...😨

Tuna in anything other
than plain cold tuna salad is gross to me. Just the smell of a tuna casserole makes me gag ...yuck😝
You have to add a little nutmeg to the rice pudding
About 60 years ago, my uncle made rice pudding and put in too much nutmeg. It tasted like dish soap! Lean times...we ate it anyway!!
Somebody was really pushing the jello in every meal thing back in the 50s
Ot many now remember that many, many rural areas still did not have electricity until after the war. Electrification didn't reach the whole country until the late Fifties.

It was celery and/or vegetable flavored gelatin used in tuna molds, not lime flavor! 😂 Those two + tomato gelatin discontinued.

I miss tamale pie! I ate it alot as a kid, and it's one of my favorite foods
LOL! we still eat 2 of these! was very surprised to see them even listed. peanut butter and pickle is a long time family favorite along with macaroni and cheese loaf!
I don’t even want to mention what the jello tuna mold 👀 looks like, & I did eat tuna & mostly anything, but jello & tuna? I can’t get over it.
I love rice pudding.
Still have tuna melt sandwiches regularly. Just asked my mom for her tamale pie recipe since I think my kids will like it. Peanut butter and bacon sandwiches are so good.
I still remember the first time my mother made me a peanut butter and banana sandwich because I gave it away thinking the mayo must have gone bad. So to tease me she made me a peanut butter and mayo sandwich... both I learned were excellent and very quick to make.
OOOhhh Yeaaaahhhhh!!!! PB & sliced apple, too!!!
I think that tuna jello also passed away in the 50's..eeeewww and olive loaf was not a kid friendly tidbit in my youth...hahaha
I tried to hang in there, I really did. Started strong with the tuna melt. But the olive loaf, the Spam, the ravioli sandwich, and the tuna jello had me gaggin.

I use bread & butter pickles, also lettuce or alfalfa sprouts. One of my favorite that still has a ton of fans!
The turkey sandwich is a yearly meal at our house every day after thanksgiving.

We also had Chicken Long Rice, a local Hawaiian staple a savory chicken broth with thick glassy noodles, and slivers of chicken, sprinkled with green onion. (Seasonings: White Pepper, Ginger, undetectable Soy Sauce.)

We had teriyaki chicken and adobo chicken, and on May Day, a Hawaiian Plate (laulau, lomilomi salmon, haupia, poi).
Abd TERI Burgers!!! (Burgers where the patty is grilled with teriyaki sauce.)
For snacks, we had lunch wagon trucks and Okaziya delis with finger foods and peasant foods. Manapua (BBQ Pork Bao). Pork Hash. Half Moons. Common after school snacks. It didn’t matter the ethnic groups (‘cept my Orthodox Jewish friends did not eat pork, of course); we all enjoyed all the foods. Musubi was a common lunch and snack.

Uh. I just saw all of the items. We had tuna melts and baloney and cheese sandwiches.
Uh. Most of this food looks… not like anything me or anyone I knew ever had or mentioned in Hawaii in the 70’s.
Everyone had Okahara Saimin (healthier version of Top Ramen as the noodles are frozen, not deep-fried). Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches. One friend would eat Peanut Butter and Velveeta Cheese sandwiches.
O yeah! Chili & Rice with cheese (and onions). Zippy’s Chili was a Thing. Sports teams would do fundraisers selling Zippy’s Chili.
… but I have never heard of most of these 70’s meals.
I hadn’t even gotten through the first one yet and I ate tuna melts. I’ve been to deli where they sell them. When I was a teenager. I worked at a deli shop that sold them, and it was a chain.
I used to get pizza burgers at the diner all the time!!!!! I haven't had one in years! 😋
Still do tuna melts, chicken salad melts are nice too...next?
I do fish sticks now too, just never had as a sandwich. EVER and I grew up in the 70's and late 60's, early 80's.
Still do the turkey & cranberry (don't forget the dressing - stuffing, w/e... ok, you didn't) sandwich at least 2-3x a year anyway ;)
Still will, once or twice every 4-5 years anyway... the fried bologna sandwich.
never did even hear about the curry sardine sandwich... ever, let alone taste - sounds interesting might need to try that one. Love curry powder.
Mom loved the olive & pickle loafs... (she might still) I never tried.
Never had, nor heard of the bologna 'boats' hmmm
Peanutbutter & bacon sandwich tho, I have had. Still have - yum. Hold the bananna for me tho. Thx.
I still do the spam and pineapple sandwiches. I boil the spam 1st tho to reduce the extreme salt content in the meat...
Jiffy & ground beef casserole... never heard of, nor had. But again, might need to try it!
Again, never heard of, nor had a ravioli sandwich.
PeanutButter & Pickle sandwich I've had & I do like it, so I still have it.
That jello 'salad' is too strange for me, never had it, not planning on it.
I like rice pudding, still have it... never had w/ anything except cinnamon tho.
Love chili cheese dogs, have on avg at least once a month - not as a casserole tho... but still have beanie weinies a time or 2 a month....
Egg Foo Young sandwich - never heard of the sandwich version - again, may need to try...
Never had, but think I HEARD about the cheese Souffle. Never had a chance to try.
Sloppy Joe casserole tho - yes and tbh, I forgot that one... but I love it, I think we'll have that next week!
The cornbread casserole has me thinking it is its own version of Shephard's Pie.
They forgot salmon patties, alone or as a sandwich with Hellmans mayo of course.
Never heard of pb with bacon and banana slices or pb with dill pickle slices, just the drab, bland pb and mayo samich. Definitely trying the one with bacon and banana soon.😋👍💯
My brother would eat the peanut butter and banana, we make the cornbread topped meal. But we use real cornbread from scratch!! Some of these sandwiches we’ve eaten, some I never made!
I eat tuna melts and thanksgiving sandwiches all the time.
Wow I have never heard of a pizza burger. I will try this. Add the bacon and peanutbutter sandwich too. I have never heard of almost all of these.
I was reminded of the infamous “Moist Maker” sandwich from the Friends episode when the turkey and cranberry sandwich was shown
Sounds super 😋 yummy love 😍 your life thank you for whichever states it comes from hallelujah 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌
Egg Fu Yung sandwiches sounds amazing.
I miss peanut butter and banana sandwiches OR peanut butter and butter. My grandmother would give us one of these sandwiches with a glass of milk. YUM!!
I love pb and bacon sandwiches and ravioli sandwiches
Tuna melt and a cup of coffee!
Egg Fu Young Sandos are now called St. Paul sandwiches, any Chinese place worth their salt has them on the menu. One of my Favs!
6:02 sometimes it's better NOT to think about how Bologna sausage is made
Coco’s had a Ranchero burger they took off the menu and 10 years later you could still order it and the chefs knew how to make it. Open face burger on grilled Rye, green Ortega chilis, Monterey Jack cheese, topped with a fried egg, salsa on the side.
Olive loaf and 30 other kinds of deli meats were in the case at the little corner grocery store for 50 cents a pound.
I love a tuna melt! It’s on many menus!
Pimento cheese and olive loaf on a buttered brioche.
I still eat fried beef bologna sandwiches. I don’t put anything else on them, just eat with white bread. Back in the 70s when fondues were around we cut spam into chunks and fried it in the oil. I was surprised how good it tasted. Lol
Head Cheese Sandwiches!!
Great words love 😍 to make the best of delicious adjectives! 🛐 ✝️ 🙏
Fish sticks are called fish fingers here in the uk!
I used to have a lunch called Cheese Yum Yums the lunch ladies served in elementary school in 1970s. I can't find recipe anywhere.
I'm sure Josh and Momma still make all of these recipes 😂😂😂
If you know you know
12:25 interesting jello mold
Wow, this video brought back so many delicious memories! The Tuna Melt on Rye was my absolute favorite. It's fascinating to see how these once-popular lunches have faded over time. Which of these nostalgic bites would you love to see make a comeback?
Not at my house. Still eat these.
Not sure where this guy lives but I still see most of these on menus in NJ. Ok the sardine one...gag! I LOVED Olive Loaf as a kid (in the 60's) and I still eat SPAM! Tuna Jello? YUCK. Growing up Catholic when we could not eat meat on Friday, I had my fill of tuna and can't even stand the smell of it now.
bacon and peanut butter is still common in my house.
While they talked about the sloppy Joe casserole, the video showed another classic not mentioned, hamburger helper!
I've never bought that product.
Why do they keep showing tuna in a can when talking about sardines?
Mug-o-lunch
1:50 McFillet O Fish, lol
Just had fish fingers on who knew I was making a near-classic.
I wasnt born in the 70s but I love a fried bologna sandwiches. I like to dress them up like a BLT with bacon and a fried egg on toast.
Tuna Coneys are a riff on the tuna rye
Tuna Coneys??? Nuff to gag a maggot!!!
I buy those already cooked packages of bacon and slip it into my PB & J sandwiches. Raspberry or Strawberry jam is best.
If you dont have canned spam in an asian household in the US in your kitchen pantry, you aint Asian. Im Viet , raised by a WWII marine vet. We Ate spam once or twice a week for lunch or dinners . My dad would never eat it after 4 yrs of hell fighting in the Pacific but we kids loved it. I always have canned spam in my kitchen pantry even after my kids have flown the coup. Thanks dad love and miss ya.
STILL AROUND
Tuna melt still sold at friendlies restaurants.
Fish stick sandwiches have too much breading and too little fish.
Turkey and cranberry sandwiches are best with stuffing inside too.
Fried baloney is my son's favorite.
Sardine's are a staple at my house along with canned octopus, I guess it's from my youth because my grandfather was in the Portuguese Merchant Marines during WWI.
Olive loaf is on my shopping list weekly.
MOST OF THE REST I'VE NEVER HEARD OF
What I miss is you can't find flavored items in stores anymore.
I always loved the onion flavored tator tots - can't find them.
Most of these things are still around if you know how to cook, but most of America got lazy when microwaves were introduced and every 4-8 years when a new first lady decides to condemn school children to tasteless and actually unhealthy foods they don't want. What's good for adults has nothing to do with what's good for active children who burn 20x as much calories while active in school. Let the kids decide what their bodies need and stay out of school cafeterias govt.
It’s pronounced baloney! And I don’t know where this guy lives but fried bologna is a staple in diners and family restaurants across the Midwest. Usually it is thick sliced bologna.
Yep, I have heard 2 pronunciations, but never the way adds a "Y" sound, unless you are actor Joe Bologna, who used the "Y" sound in is name.
There is a restaurant in town that is famous for smoked meat. One of their most popular menu items is a fried baloney sandwich. So good!
All artificial unfortunately
Most areas don't have it anymore. I've had it more at home than not. It's hard to find large packs of thick bologna where I'm at for example
He is pronouncing it correctly. Baloney is a redneck creation word.
I've never had a pizza burger. I'll have to remedy that. A couple of these I'm actually glad I missed. Looking at you tuna jello.
Pizza burgers are pretty good, my husband's hometown has a bar that sells them!
They used to be on the school menu. I always bought lunch those days.
They’re delicious!
Some foods have no business being suspended in Jell-O.
Never heard of the Pizza Burger!
Tuna melts, PB and bacon, thanksgiving sandwiches, and fried bologna and cheese sandwiches haven't disappeared.
I agree😂😂😂❤
Just because they are still popular in your region does not mean they are still popular across the country.
That's because old people still exist.
old Gens absolutely love their childhood nostalgia foods
Stuff I still eat at 50
@nixarrowman78 it's not just the old, here in Southern Appalachia, fried bologna sandwiches are even served in the schools. Everyone grew up eating them around here so even the kidos ask for them.
When my mom was having my little sister in 1973 ; my dad made us fried bologna sandwiches for a week until my mom came home !
I'm southern and grew up in the 70's, but he lost me at tuna jello.
Sadly I remember tuna jello casserole but I assure its not a fond memory 😂
Yuck 🤮
Jello "salads" or molds were/are huge in the Midwest. Tuna in a jello mold usually isn't made with sweetened jello it is made with unsweetened gelatin. However, it is something found in a lot of cookbooks from the 70's. I have so many of my grandmother's cookbooks from the 50-80's and the 70's have a ton of savory gelatin based recipes 🤢🤮
@@dennisthurston727😆😆
That explains those old fish shaped jello molds . I always wondered about that. Now I can sleep better 60 years later.
Who doesn't eat a thanks giving sandwich after the holiday?
Not in long time. No leftovers.
@@Michaelfatman-xo7gv lolol, that makes sense😊
We made casseroles from the leftovers. I think Mom made a sandwich or two, but without the cranberry sauce in the sandwich or casserole.
I eat my Thanksgiving sandwiches during Thanksgiving
Two pieces of fresh loaf 🍞, Miracle Whip on both slices, lettuce, tomato,a dash of black pepper,and a couple slices of Thanksgiving Day turkey. It's still remains me of my grandmother and my still favorite sandwich to make 🥰😋🥪.
And fried potato cakes made from left over mashed potatoes....still love those....😋😋😋😋😋
Could eat a bucket of those!! ❤
My girlfriend who is lithuanian makes those. Served with bacon cubes and sour cream. No wonder I love that woman
Literally have Tuna Melts, Thanksgiving Sandwiches, Pizza Burgers, and Fried Baloney sandwiches on the menu at the restaurant I work at right now and make at least 4-8 a day of each EVERY DAY.
Whoa! Where do you work?? That sounds AWESOME!!
Whoa! Where do you work? That sounds AWESOME!!
Whoah! Where do you work?? That sounds AWESOME!!
But is it everywhere? Or is your restaurant one of the few.
@@kimjung-un8204 anywhere in Connecticut for the most part
Ok, anyone else come to this channel at this point to just point out the foods that are still being eaten and are NOT forgotten at this point?!?! Because I'm sure bologna and cheese and tuna melts aren't going anywhere.
I don't see the younger generation eating too many a tunawich or bologna.
I still cant eat a turkey sammy without cranberry sauce on it. They never get tiring
I never heard of it until I saw it in a video a few months ago.
but i've never had cheese on them.
They're pretty common in northern California, you can find turkey and cranberry sandwiches premade in most grocery stores out there.
I've discovered that Cranberry Sauce goes well with ANY meat not just Turkey. Pork, Beef, Lamb are also ideal companions. Served hot is best I take the lid off and put the entire jar in the microwave for 90 seconds. Warning : use oven gloves it gets VERY hot. Ladled over any meat gives the meal another dimension.
The BEST part of the actual Thanksgiving day meal IS THE LEFTOVERS in sandwiches. We even added a thin layer of stuffing along with the cranberry jelly. 😋 😋
Tunamelt on Rye is still a favorite of mine.
Who doesn’t make the turkey cranberry sandwich after thanksgiving?
In Ireland we have Turkey, cranberry and stuffing sandwiches
We don’t at our home. I don’t like cranberry sauce. So I don’t even make it for thanks giving.
@@muri134 I make the same thing with a smear of mashed taters in the USA.
I never use cranberry on my turkey sandwich. Just butter bread and turkey
As I am sure most know, these foods never went away in rural, Amish, Mennonite, Pennsylvania Dutch areas. Anyone trying make it with the prices these days, still eat these foods.
Even the curried sardines?! 🥵
I don't know about that tuna jello thing though..I'll stick with a tuna sandwich...LOL
My mom's family is PA Dutch and I was raised on fried bologna sandwiches, Dutch loaf, apple butter, and any variety of fresh tomato sandwiches. ❤️
@@Karlsz That isn't a PA Dutch food. But, I have eaten Sardines. If times are tough, people will come up with ideas to keep food boredom away.. as I said most foods, that doesn't mean all.
@@terrimoore7082 I remember fancier people making that when I was younger. We had creamed tuna on toast. I learned how to make tuna noodle casserole in Home EC. That was in the 1960s.
Back in the mid 70's my mom would make open faced grilled tuna , whole wheat bread lightly toasted, top with the tuna salad of your choice, a couple of hearty slices of tomato and topped with sharp cheddar, a little cracked black pepper and salt, run under the broiler until the cheese bubbled and toasted. It was DELICIOUS!
I still enjoy a good tuna melt.
@@allanholder8948 nom 😋 😍 👌
Oh jeeze please
NOT HOT TUNA 😝😝
😂❤yes! I stillmake them just like that! TUNA MELTS!!!🎉
We did that with mashed potato. Pile on toast with sprinkle of grated cheese and squirt of tomato sauce/ketchup. Everyone thinks it sounds horrible until they taste it.[ everything needs to be hot}. yes, that needs to be specified. Baked beans is a meal where I live. Hot beans on hot buttery toast eaten with a knife and fork. Watched a vid with Americans trying this but they put a spoonful of cold beans on a hunk of cold unbuttered bread. Yuck! They wondered why we called this a meal although most quite liked it.
One of my favorites as a kid was a cold, meatloaf sandwich. I liked apple butter sandwiches too.
Cold meatloaf with ketchup. Hell, yeah!
Yummmm meatloaf sandwiches are soooo good!
@@bitterklinger8160 Ah, meatloaf. Always satisfying hot or cold.
Meatloaf sandwiches are the bomb even today 🤤
Yea I bet. Never heard of the pizza 🍕 burger 🍔! Sounds good!
Having grown up in the 70's, I can safely say these were not all huge players. A few, sure, but some of these I have never heard of.
You lived a sheltered life, lol. Actually, I grew up in the 1960’s and ate many of these sandwiches.
@@pamelayeager2083 I wasn't alive in the 60's. and this video is about sandwiches from the 70's.
By your own admission, you were a small child during the 70’s, and possibly missed a few things.
@Enoch-nn1id I grew up in the 50's and raised kids in the 70's but most of these things I never heard of. I think they must be Southern things.
Just thinking that…popular in the 1950’s?? I wasn’t born yet, ha! Boxes of Kraft Mac and cheese were my brothers fav, I loved banana and PB sandwiches myself…anything Chef Boy’ardee….
Many of these sandwiches I still eat. To me nothing's changed.
@@LaoshiDJ
Why??
How's yours??
Gotta break away from just veggie sandwiches once in a while.
Good bumper sticker
LIFE IS SHORT
EAT MORE BUTTER
Rice Pudding definitely never went away, you can still buy it pre-made in tubs at the supermarket (at least here in New England). We love it.
And on the opposite coast...
Rice Pudding was a big hit in the Roman Empire. Apparently they used it as a sea sickness cure. Don't know if it works - anybody tried it ?
@@martybee6701
When I was a sick little girl Mom always fixed me rice pudding. Always felt better. . . but getting to read MAD magazine in bed helped a lot too😅.
@@joannaedwards6325 Interesting, in UK Heinz Cream of Tomato 🍅 soup is the usual go to cure all for poorly people !
Thanks for sharing this 👍
Iam still Old school at age 57 And I still eat all of these foods and many other 70’s Forgotten Meals. I absolutely love cooking for leisure and entertaining friends. Many of my younger friends have always thought I’ve been a little bit weird, but when they tried some of these things and realized how good things tasted, It kind of changed their way of looking at things. Iam about as old school as it gets and happy to remain that way.
