I am over 40 years old and American. I have never seen a shrimp cocktail that looked like that. Shrimp cocktail comes with cocktail sauce, A mixture of horseradish and ketchup. From the eastern US, Not sure if it is different other places.
Same In the Midwest
@@raphaelsolo Yep. If it's not red, it's not shrimp cocktail.
It's the same here on the west coast (horseradish and ketchup). Maybe different somewhere else?
I was confused by that shrimp cocktail. Never seen anything like it. 😮
I’d just add a small dash of lemon juice to the ketchup/horseradish recipe. 😊
Your prawn cocktail is not an American shrimp cocktail. You want a small pool of cocktail sauce in the glass with the shrimp hanging tails out around the rim.
I would say the shrimp should be bathing in cocktail sauce but yeah not what they showed.
I think what they actually has was krill in whale semen.
That style was around when I was a kid, but at least in California today ours are Baja Mexico style with shrimp, onions, cilantro and cucumbers with salsa and lemon - cool and refreshing! Think a nearly drinkable ceviche. Yummy!
@@thomasmacdiarmid8251🫢😱🤢🤮
IT WAS IN THE 60S AND THATS THE POINT
Chocolate cake has always been popular, what was popular/trendy in the 90’s was the “Molten Chocolate Cake” which was a warm chocolate cake with liquid fudge chocolate inside.
Yes yes yes!!😊
AKA Lava Cake. :3
I agree
And mug cakes! That was when the microwave mug cakes were huge.
'90s, not 90's.
I’m an American and I take pride on my cocktail sauce recipe (ketchup, wasabi, lemon juice, vodka), and this “cocktail sauce” made me want to cry.
But your cocktail sauce is doctored up. Most cocktail sauce is just ketchup and horseradish. Wasabi wasn't really well known in the US when Shrimp cocktails took off.
@@ladykoiwolfe Call it a twist on cocktail sauce then, but it’s better than the mayonnaise-based stuff they have in this video.
@@thomaspappalardo7589 that's the same as what I did call it.doctored up is just an older term.
@@ladykoiwolfe I think most places that make their own cocktail sauce doctor it up some on top of the base ingredients. Typically with lemon juice, worcestershire, and hot sauce.
INteresting with the vodka. Might have to try it. Are you using real wasabi or the stuff prepared from horseradish and maybe mustard?
Shrimp cocktail in America is quite different. Cocktail sauce is red and is mainly just ketchup and horseradish. No mayo. What you served looks like what we would call Shrimp Salad.
I thought it looked like diner tapioca pudding.
Plus lemon juice.
The first and last time I ever saw shrimp topped with mayonnaise was when I was in undergrad and we went to Europe and they serve it like that in Paris with the freaking heads in the feet still attached and that’s when I quit shrimp 100%🤮
Technically that would be a ersatz marie rose sauce.....
They confused an English Prawn cocktail with the American horseradish type.
I love how this channel tries hard, but sometimes gets things just a liiiiittle off, leading us Americans to scream at the screen haha
I always wonder where they get their "American" information from, especially since we have different regions. We're bigger than Europe (minus Russia) so it'd be like saying [gumbo] is from America. It's from a very specific part of the States, & if you're not from [Louisiana], you don't know how to make it right LOL. I'm like that with wings & NY-style cheesecake; no one out side of NY makes it right to me 😅
@krisstrehlow-cooper8364 Exactly. Like, their facts about the Caesar salad were wrong. It became a hit but was not specifically created in or for the Hollywood elites. It's from a restaurant in Mexico. It just became a trend like sushi or avocado toast.
@@counselthyself2591 That is... very true haha
Maybe they purposely make things a little off so they get more comments and engagement. 🤔 I can't imagine how you do research on American shrimp cocktails and then not use a red cocktail sauce.
Was this revenge for our corned beef and cabbage 😂😂😂
I’d love to see you guys try actual American shrimp cocktail, what you had was shrimp salad
They commented about how the tuna on a cracker was so dry. When I was growing up in the 50s, all the canned tuna I had was packed in oil. It wasn't dry at all. I can see it being such with water- packed.
I don’t know about everyone else but I always put a little mayo on mine. 👌🏽
oil packed is still available - that's my choice and I even kept an older type can opener just so I can open the can and use the lid to squish out some of the oil first - water packed is just too dry
Alway's liked in water in 80's and 90's but canned tuna took a big dive in quality with Starkist and some other name brand's and haven't bought canned tuna in years because of it.
@@heatherprincipe8537 Try solid Albacore Tuna.
@@mdp4440 I no longer buy canned tuna because they are now just horrific 'tuna flake slurry water No actual tuna; ' I haven't bought conventional water-soaked tuna product, in at least 5-6 years...
A good 1970s dish would be cheese fondue. I remember going to people's homes for dinner parties and it would be cheese fondue with breads, crackers, or vegetables to dip, and the dessert at several homes was a chocolate fondue with different fruits, cake or cookies to dip in the chocolate.
YES! Fondue was EVERYWHERE in the 70s!
Ooh a fondue episode would be fun!
YES FONDUE
And some form of quiche.
Fondues were most likely imported from Switzerland…
The 1990s version was more specifically the molten lava cake as made famous by Wolfgang Puck, I believe.
I feel like the producer hasn't really done enough research...
That was my thought too!
That makes perfect sense to me
@@bjmurray1842 I think it's more that they didn't want to actually cook or prepare anything. If you notice, just about every item is something that comes prepackaged from a modern grocery store.
Yup.
That tuna on Cracker thing is enhanced greatly with a light bit of mayonnaise mixed in. Add salt, pepper, and thin sliced celery, and you've got a wonderful treat.
We sprinkled lemon juice and seasoning.
Also pinch of dill
Miracle Whip
Tuna and crackers is a snack, not a meal.
If it's dry, drizzle on a little of the oil it id packed in. Water pack is just dry.
A little mayo, chopped pickle and chopped celery makes tuna salad, which is great on crackers.
THE CHOCOLATE CAKE: In the early 90s there was a culinary craze called: Death By Chocolate. People would host DBC parties and there’s even a book and a cake with the same name.
The Caesar salad was invented in Tijuana, Mexico, in Caesar Cardini's restaurant.
I guess tuna on crackers is supposed to represent the Great Depression. A lot of people couldn't afford anything fancier than that.
In the U.S. you can buy cocktail sauce in a bottle. There are a lot of brands, including Heinz and Old Bay. They usually have a lot of tomato and some horseradish, and no mayonnaise, and look a lot like ketchup.
"When was chocolate cake popular?" - When wasn't it?
NOPE ! Fairmont hotel 1910 , original menu item
@@j.robertsergertson4513 Every reference I can find says it was Caesar Cardini's restaurant in Tijuana. What evidence do you have that it was the Fairmont Hotel?
To be fair the title says americas favorite foods, not foods invented in America.
@@MrMackievelli I wasn't trying to claim Caesar salad shouldn't be one of the foods they tried. I was just stating what I think is an interesting fact.
And the original recipe had no meat, no anchovy, and wasn't chopped up. It was an oil, egg, and garlic dressing over whole leaves from the heart of the romaine, sprinkled with shredded parmesan and croutons. But that was too messy to eat so they started coarsely chopping it.
Caesar Salad wasn't invented to impress anyone -- they were out of lots of their usual ingreients due to a large rush of American patrons over the 4th of July holiday. Caesar and/or his brother and/or everyone else who worked at his restaurant in Tijuana madly tried to put together whatever they had on hand to make up for the lack. The only anchovies used at that time were the ones already in the Worcestershire Sauce. And it was lime juice rather than today's lemon. And it was made at tableside as a bit of showmanship. Over the decades, the recipe changed a bit. The origination was much like the Cobb Salad -- madly thrown together at the last minute with whatever was leftover in the kitchen.
I remember a steakhouse had a spinning salad bowl that made the salad a show. The big stainless steel bowl was nestled into a bed of ice, the various ingredients for your salad were put inside, then the waiter would send the bowl spinning while he (and it was always a he) would toss the salad with huge tongs. You got a perfectly tossed and chilled salad at the end.
Yeah, I think the “impressive” part was the table-side show of constructing the salad by the server.
@@kathyastrom1315 that sounds quite lovely
@@amandarae1213 I think you're right. Have you ever had Bananas Foster in a snazzy restaurant? It's like the 4th of July!
The ceasar salad was invented by an Italian immigrant that moved his restaurant to Tijuana Mexico during prohibition.
I love when people try American foods we Americans never heard of lol. In Southern California our shrimp cocktails are made with climato, cucumbers, cilantro, lime juice, shrimp and a bit of ketchup. Many add avocados and celery as well.
That sounds great, but it us more of a mock ceveche.
Thats a Baja style cocktail, its not your Southern California style when its literally from a different country
Roasts, stews, weird Jello recipes, fried chicken, casseroles, fondue. Tomato soup cake (its awesome), fried ice cream, Boston cream cake, baked Alaska. History and food are fascinating.
80's was quiche, pita bread sandwiches, finger jello, fruit scooped into balls and served in a hollowed out 1/2 a watermelon.
Thanks for bringing me back to my childhood lol 🤣🧡
"fruit scooped into balls and served in a hollowed out 1/2 a watermelon". you forgot to add the bottle of vodka.
Clearly I lived in a different 80's than you did!! To this day I've never had pita bread and only had one quiche - which I made in cooking class in '91!
I remember my mom being so excited about this "new" bread she found...pita bread! And when she started making quiche, well, we had it for breakfast and dinner 😂😂 so I agree with you there for sure! 😂😂😂
@@Patryn71Vodka the main ingredient
Even in the depression tuna would come with mayonnaise, pickles, and celery.
Yes, at a minimum there would have been pickles to go with,
how do you know that? Did you live through it?
@@clc2328cause no matter how bad things got wasn't nobody mama making that dry ol tuna with them stale crackers. 🤣
My grandfather's favorite light lunch wasn't tuna, rather tinned sardines on saltine crackers with mustard. He grew up during the depression, and the dishes have a similar vibe, both of which I hate though my eight-year old self's forced consumption (or else!)-- the former obviously by hand's on experience, and the latter by canned tuna's associated guilt.
Bad! Fish now forever bad!
@@clc2328you do understand people kept recipes in the depression era and we still have them right? I mean take 5 seconds to Google it. Obviously that amount of research is too much for some people
Fun Fact: Cesar Salads originate from Tijuana, Mexico and were made by an Italian chef named Cesar.
As a 90s kid who absolutely LOOOOVVVEEED chocolate when I was younger, I really appreciate the inclusion of the chocolate cake. There was an amazing bakery down the street from my house that had a Triple Chocolate Cake: chocolate frosting, chocolate cake, and gooey chocolate chips throughout.That was my go-to birthday cake choice for most of my childhood.
And Carvel, in the 90's, had a Decadent chocolate ice cream cake with the chocolate ice cream, chocolate icing, whipped chocolate icing, chocolate sprinkles and some other chocolate I'm sure - it was to-die-for!
While I was a teenager in the 90s, I definitely still favor chocolate cake (and ice cream) over any other flavor. My mother had a kick for a few years where she would make German chocolate cake every other birthday or so because it was easy to make.
Cocktail sauce is usually made with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and horseradish.😊
I enjoyed how Sarah said she hates to cook but explained practically every dish to Darren.
Chocolate cake has been popular in the USA since cocoa has been available, I want to say. As a child in the 60's it was my standard birthday cake. My grandfather, born around 1900, enjoyed it as a child as well. :)
I wish they could all come to my house so I could make those foods from scratch. As others have said, our shrimp cocktail is in a red sauce.
I imagine if I tried making Irish food it wouldn’t be the same as they make there.
I still thought the funniest line in this shoot was Niall's "maybe you could replace the prawns with...better prawns."
Yeah they have 1.25 million subs, they can afford some nice big prawns and some skilled kitchen help, not just prepackaged junk.
he's right tho - that was my first though when they brought that out... like unbreaded popcorn shrimp WTF lol
I would associate the chocalate lava cake, that was a huge trend in the 90's
Mmmmm, I remember those
Same. Was expecting molten chocolate cake, not just a plain one.
Also where was the Ice Cream, Chocolate Cake without Vanilla Ice cream is like coffee black no sugar. Sure some do it like that, but it's not that common.
Yep.... I was looking for someone to say that! I had that first in the 90s, but they are pretty ubiquitous even now.
Any chocolate cake is grand imo. One better than the other ofcourse, but still...
They missed the 1950's. In the Midwest we had mashed potatoes with hamburger gravy and canned sweet corn. We also had tuna casserole. They were served to guests, big gatherings, after funeral gatherings and cafes.
The Cesar Salad was actually invented in Tijuana, Mexico (near the California border) by Caesar Cardini, an Italian restaurant owner.
Cesar salad was invented by an Italian American, in his Tiajuana, Mexico restaurant. I have also never seen shrimp cocktail that was white. I think the 90's was more into the Molten chocolate cakes.
Naill is close with his comment about thanking the American military complex for creating techniques for preserving food. But it was the French who invented canned foods meant for soldiers and sailors in 1804. They also invented margarine in 1813 for the same reasons. Cheers From Toronto, Canada
American brought industrial production (to food) - in large quantities.
Margarine and Canola oil, two things Canada invented and two things I never eat.
Not only is he largely correct, but American palates have suffered for decades from it.
Yeah, the French soldered those can shut with lead. There was an expedition to the Arctic and the sailors never returned. When the wreck and journals were discovered later. It told a the story of men losing their sanity to lead poisoning and dying from that, exposure or starvation. We'll give it to the American military because they were to first to do on a large scale and do it properly.
@@kretieglead poisoning was due to the expedition cheaping out on decent canned goods
I’ve never seen shrimp cocktail served with that sauce. We have “cocktail sauce” that you can buy a bottle off the shelf that consists of tomato sauce base base with horseradish. The horseradish is what makes it, IMO. I usually make my own cocktail sauce so I can add more horseradish.
i am sauced and i never heard of American prawns in a glass... or something like that.
yeah oddly if you go to a store and ask for something from another country it's not always right, like in US go to the store and ask for "Irish meals from the last 100 years" they'll probably just hand you a potato. 😀
i appreciate the comments and reactions of the tryers, and the effort in making the videos, i'm not losing any sleep over stuff not being exactly the way we would have had it.
Shrimp cocktail - Much larger shrimp, definitely hung around the lip of the glass + true American cocktail sauce which is a ketchup-based sauce (so a much brighter red color than what you had) with horseradish mixed in, & possibly other spices or flavorings, depending on preferences.
Remember, kids: Any salad can be a Caesar salad if you stab it enough!
Shrimp cocktail in the US (shrimp and prawns are related, but different) tends to have "cocktail sauce" which is just ketchup with finely grated horseradish mixed in, so the Irish version is a kissing cousin at best.
The chocolate cake specific to the 90s was the molten chocolate cake, with a liquid center. It was the ultimate novelty, but then got so frequently and poorly imitated.
Et tu, Brute?
Yup! Shrimp cocktail isn’t a cocktail without cocktail sauce. 😂 (Ketchup and grated horseradish) 😋
Edit: I think it was 23 stabs, by the way.😬
I mean its not just in the US that shrimp and prawns are different, they're literally different animals, like crocodiles and alligators. I've always found it weird how people in these videos just call them both prawns because if I go to my local fish market I can ask for either shrimp or prawns because they have both
I remember when Pizza Hut started selling it. That was close to the end of the age on Lava Cake. I sort of miss it.
@@gothicshark Pssssst! Dominos still makes it.
The shrimp cocktail is not what we usually do in the U.S. We use a cocktail sauce that is ketchup and horseradish sauce and then you dip the shrimp (which are large) in the cocktail sauce.
I wasn't alive in the '30's but at home we ate tuna *salad* and crackers or sandwiches--tuna, miracle whip, onion, hard-boiled egg, pickle relish. Dad liked sardines and crackers once in a while.
Darin "no wonder people was throwing themselves out of buildings" LMAO
American cocktail sauce is usually something like ketchup, lemon juice, horse radish, worchestershire, hot sauce (Louisiana, Tabasco )
This seemed more like a bastardized tartar sauce (mayonnaise and relish)/cocktail sauce combo
I appreciate the nod to Louisiana hot sauce. So much better than Tabasco.
I had no idea Matilda was so popular in Ireland. One of the best movies ever lol
One of the American salads you need to include is an Ambrosia salad. Manderan orange slices, grapes, coconut in a sweet cream sauce. All mixed together.
Have seen it many times, never once have I tried it.
@@ericparker163some white people served this to me as a teen. I was flabbergasted 😂 I never heard of it and hate hate hated it. I ate it all though and said it was good. It had peaches and coconut flakes grapes idk what else but I remember rainbow marshmallows and they were so soggy
@@znys9972 🤣 you're braver than me. I could never bring myself to touch.
I was worried that jello salad was gonna make an appearance?😂
1970s, with vegetables in it - orange jello with carrots, lime jello with celery. It was a strange time.
A legitimate concern
Future torture possibilities.
Fruit cake yuck
Oh yuck, my mother used to make a vegetable Jello salad.
I like how they're all impressed by that little piece of chocolate cake. I'm pretty sure the serving size of most wedges of cake are 4 times larger than what they were given.
I would look at that piece and think "I'm gonna have about 3 more of these"
And they didn’t put any ice cream on top! That’s just sad.
American here...never have I had or heard of a prawn cocktail until this video. I've had a shrimp cocktail but it looks so different.
I remember being a young teen and hearing about tiramisu for the first time. Then, suddenly it was everywhere. On the menu of every fancy restaurant and on every cooking show.
If you wanted to do 80s and 90s desserts it really should have been Vienetta ice cream (cake? concoction? Lol) you know, the stuff that was in every American freezer but we weren’t allowed to touch it unless company came over. Made us feel so rich and snazzy LMAO! 🤣
I’m sure that’s what they were trying to do with the tiramisu, and Vienetta doesn’t exist anymore.
Vienetta was the best.. man I miss that stuff.
Ohmygosh YES! My sister recently found some (or something super similar) and sent me video screeching about it, for that very reason. It was like the good towels, only for company. 😂
Vienetta was the pinnacle of American desserts in the 80s and 90s.
@@deeandkaren Vienetta never left the UK, and it was re-released in the US within the last two years (2021-2022)
Irish Try should hire a historical chef to pick this show up.
Tasting History
I'm Irish and knew some of these dishes were inaccurate.
They could call the Mythical Kitchen anytime.🤠
Townsends is good for that.
Amen.
Prawns are called "shrimp" in the USA and they are usually eaten with cocktail sauce and a slice of lemon.
As a friend of someone in the catering/wedding reception/restaurant industry, I never heard of warm chocolate cake as a popular dessert. It was lava chocolate cake. The interior was molten chocolate so that when the customer cut into it the chocolate would run out. Sometimes served with vanilla ice cream. It was a big fad in the restaurant business in the '90s.
Chocolate cake has always been popular, so I don't know why that was added. And it's shrimp cocktail. Prawns are much bigger. And like others have said the sauce is ketchup and horseradish.
I believe what you were calling prawn cocktail was actually shrimp salad. Shrimp cocktail has large shrimp with cocktail sauce . And what?!? No peaches suspended in jello for the 1970s?!?
My mom would make lemon and lime jello and add pineapple and grated carrots.
I think that started in the '50s.. putting stuff in jello.
I know. They just skipped the 40's, 50's and 70's then stopped at the 90's.
@@franciet99yep. They called it jello salad. My grandma always did the lime jello.
To add on: where the hell was the apple pie!? As the saying goes, nothing's more American than apple pie and baseball.
Hey this did come out on my birthday! Thanks.
We use to serve shrimp cocktail as appetizers at most fine dining restaurants in the 80s, 90s and 2000.
I wouldn’t call these American meals, more like appetizers and desserts.
Then you didn't grow up poor and probably born on the 2000 or later lol
Define poor and no, I am much older.
Right. They needed to be served meatloaf, scalloped potatoes. Fried chicken with greens and mashed potatoes with gravy...
Chicken 'n' waffles; shrimp 'n' grits, cheesburger and fries, mac 'n' cheese, mashed potatoes, green been casserole with the fried onions on top....bison burgers.... all the regional BBQs... all the regional pizzas.... crayfish ettouffe... gumbo.... fried turkey... gator... chit'lins.... so many regional sandwiches... hot dogs (which are distinct from sausages just FYI) ... omg we have endless
collard greens cornbread and black-eyed peas traditional New Years Day meal in the south!!!!@@sungoddiss
I'm glad to see Justine again too. I mean everyone on this show is pretty rad, don't get me wrong.
They use to have a frosting that came in powder for, in a box, in the 90’s. You added milk to it. The chocolate was AMAZING. I haven’t seen it since the 90’s. Wish I could find it again.
Wow, am I glad shrimp cocktail has evolved since the ‘60’s!
I've only had shrimp cocktails with cocktail sauce. Its literally called cocktail sauce. Was that served with mayo? Where was Lolsy to tell them what they could do with the shrimp and mayo?
Shrimp cocktail without cocktail sauce? Not since they tried Taco Bell without the hot sauce have they got "American" food so wrong.
Looked a lot more like shrimp salad than shrimp cocktail
I had shrimp cocktail in Wales and this was how it was served. Tiny shrimp in mayo. Pretty sure they just saw the term online and served what they know to be shrimp cocktail.
A prawn cocktails in Ireland and the UK is served with a marie rose sauce but because they were doing US dishes they should have been more accurate.
@@counselthyself2591tomatoes come from the Americas and it was an American who made the first tomato Ketchup
That is NOTHING like our "Shrimp" cocktails! (Which are served with (colloquially) "Cocktail Sauce", which is essentially a tomato ketchup w/ horseradish... NOTHING like it, and , yes, the shrimp are served hanging from the rim.)
In America we serve shrimp/prawn cocktails with cocktail sauce.
Tiramisu is wicked popular here in the states. It helps cleanse the pallet if you have it after dinner.
Thank you Pagan for wishing me a happy birthday! I did actually watch this video on my birthday.
Aw! Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! 🎉😊
@@PaganReacts thank you!
I think the 60’s would’ve been like those bundt cake jello salads and if you lived in the South (as I did) canned pears with Mayo and cheddar cheese. Potted meat and Vienna sausages. Anything with Velveeta cheese.😆
@@lennybuttz2162 I was born in ‘64 so you’re probably right.
I'm from Louisiana and never had pears with mayo and cheese. Now I have had ambrosia
@@deanstanley2125 I’m from Alabama/Georgia along the Chattahoochee. Phenix City and Columbus to be exact.
I love you guys. Your personalities, your humor. At 72 I’ve even heard of teramisu. But you go lads & lassis!!
Ciara you always pick me up! your approach to ANYTHING and EVERYTING is so refreshing. never stop.
OK, I rarely have to use closed captions, but Justine was speaking so fast and softly, I had to on this video. The point is, that when Collin asked about accoutrements, the cc function interpreted it as "cool romance". Thank you
Every video I think to myself, I would love to hang out with all of these people. You have such a fantastic group. Thank you for sharing with us 3 times a week. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. ;)
I lead trail rides on horseback, I eat tuna Mayo on ritz crackers at least twice a week in the saddle. Great protein and crunch cracker and quick.
Cocktail sauce in the restaurants I worked as a chef in when I was younger is no sugar added ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, worcestershire, hot sauce, and if they want extra hot cocktail sauce you add in a little more horseradish and a splash of white vinegar (to make the heat stick). Presentation is greens in the bottom of the martini glass, ramekin of cocktail sauce propped up on the greens, shrimp dangling of the rim of the glass. And we always cooked the shrimp in pickling spices.
I have never seen a prawn cocktail that was white. Usually the ones I see have RED seafood sauce in the middle with the prawns hanging on the outside of the glass.
Where is the tomato sandwich (Tomato & Miracle Whip on Wonder Bread)?
Prawn cocktail is exactly the right term - for the very British dish presented.
Tuna with mayo or miracle whip and pickle relish on crackers is a lovely lunch - it's also not as dry.
I don't like coffee personally but I love Tiramisu. I was introduced to it while eating dinner with my boyfriend at Olive Garden.
LOL, Niall's question should have been "When was chocolate cake NOT popular in America?"
When I was younger, the favorite house, snack was tuna and crackers. Honestly, I still ate them like that maybe 3 to 5 years ago and then I stopped because I discovered the tastiness of tuna mayo and relish on a sandwich. I knew about tunafish sandwiches before but I preferred the crackers then and I prefer the bread now.
Actually, the food to stockpile in case of an apocalypse is pasta and cereals. Dry food keep a long time as long as it stays dry, and pasta and cereals contain a lot of what you need daily.
In the 1990s it was the microwaved chocolate cake.
Ceaser Salad was invented in Tijuana Mexico by a man name Cesar....the more you know
Yes, an Italian immigrant who was living in Mexico
I was just about to drop that tidbit.
Yep. He had restaurants in America and Mexico, but this was invented in Mexico.
@@counselthyself2591 🙄🙄
I don’t think the point was where invented but that Americans loved eating it.
Now, to fill out the century, you could do something called a "chicken pudding" for the 1900s, Oreos for the 1910s (apparently they were invented in 1912), meatloaf for the 1940s, Jello mold/salad for the 1950s, and fondue for the 1970s.
Excellent selection of common Americana.
Plot twist on Jello, I saw on a cooking channel that people actual baked full meals into specialized Jello molds.
The sandwich cookie was incented by Hydrox, so use those instead of the better-advertised imitator.
Having fondue on the Try channel is a disaster waiting to happen.
@@GeorgieB1965 they were known as Aspic.
Love everybody on the channel but what an amazing group of ladies!! I need to go to Ireland!
Shrimp cocktail in US is used served with cocktail sauce, basically ketchup with horseradish. The only times I was offered the style you just had was in Ireland, lol.
Miss a big one mate. T-bone steak very very American
The Shrimp cocktail was hysterical - but honestly the tuna and crackers was in a way.... more off.. The Tuna would be in oil, drained off. the cracker would have margarine. and there would be black and white ground pepper to the point of it looking like ash Wednesday. Thats on a fishing boat. Served to guests it would be topped with cheddar and baked. Or for that big classy soiree, the Tuna would be cut with a bechamel or condensed mushroom soup and baked in a pan of precooked noodles, served with cottage cheese biscuits(not cookies) and probably slathered with melted cheddar on top.
There was a restaurant chain called Perkins where on your birthday you got a free chocolate cake and the staff sang a song. The cakes were almost more frosting than cake, the best. Chocolate cake has always been popular. Betty Crocket and Dunkin Hines make boxed mixes you add eggs, oil, and milk. With chocolate fudge icing and a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream.
We still have a Perkins in Plattsburgh, NY.
Shrimp cocktail does have a Mary Rose sauce but it's mainly red. A horseradish ketchup sauce. The prawns are chilled with the trails still on.
i love this channel! been watching for years ❤️
The tuna on a cracker was the depression's version of surf 'n turf. Your other choice was boiled shoe leather.
Saw this on my birthday, so thanks for that. Honestly didn't expect a 'happy birthday' to be hidden in a video that is 4 months old. As Ron White would say: "It's gonna be a good day, Tater".
A shrimp cocktail and a shrimp salad are two VERY different things - at least over here anyway - lol
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who noticed this but if it's an American meal, it would be a shrimp cocktail. Prawns and shrimp are two different animals but related at the same time
Never have I seen it referred to as a PRAWN cocktail but as a SHRIMP. First really exposed to them in Las Vegas at every cocktail lounge in the 60's still unto today. The 90's was the influx of CHEESECAKE nor Chocolate cake unless you are referring to the MOLTEN LAVA cake. The 70's brought the tidal wave of PIZZA throughout America.
My husband is obsessed with those. Giant shrimp hanging over a martini glass with mediocre sauce. 🤢
Southern staple in the 1930-1940’s was probably pinto beans (soup beans). With some type of pork product. Ham scraps, ham hocks, or sausage. With cornbread and potatoes. Because most folk grew their veggies and had chickens and pigs. Very filling, but cheap to eat. Large Dutch oven of beans and ham could easily feed a family of six. With potatoes and cornbread it stretches to two days.
Love the references to “Matilda” 🥰 really like that movie! coffee is the only thing that should taste like coffee tho! 🇨🇦👍😁
Most people have already commented on the Shrimp Cocktail, so I will leave that one alone, but there are 2 other things that I will Hit on. 1) The Tuna on a Cracker, they would make into a 'Tuna Salad'...they would mix it in with Miracle Whip, Celery, Onion, and Pickle Relish using the cheaper Vegetables to make the protein of the Fish stretch further. 2) The warm Chocolate Cake....it is more likely a Chocolate Molten Lava Cake that was the 'Hit', meanwhile if people had just plain Warm Chocolate Cake, it would be served with a Scoop or two of Vanilla Ice Cream, which had the double dichotomy of Warm/Cold and Chocolate/Vanilla.
Tuna salad is still a favorite in our house. The canned tuna comes in a pouch now but just add mayo and diced onion. Best after cooling for a few hours so flavors mingle. Usually served on white bread and optional American cheese, lettuce, tomato.
It was crazy how people (back in the day) went nuts for partially baked chocolate cake. Give it a catchy name and everyone’s eating it. 😂
how do you know that about tuna salad? This wasn't an example of modern food it was what was common in the past. I doubt people in the depression had the luxury of miracle whip
@@clc2328 Did you even do a simple Google Search about when Miracle Whip was 1st introduced? That answer is obvious, since Miracle Whip was introduced to the Public at the 1933 Chicago World Fair as a cheaper replacement to Mayonnaise, and it was a Major hit. Go back and rewatch the part of the video, they showed 'Tuna Fish & Crackers 1930's', which is from 1930 to 1939, then do yourself a favor an look up 'Tuna Fish in the 1930's in the U.S.' and you can see some recipes of Tuna Fish back in the 1930's, and it was mainly Tuna Fish Salad, thanks to the popularity of the 'Lunch Counter' Diners that started popping up everywhere in the EARLY 1920's (did you know that Woolworth's started this with their 'Five and Dime Stores'??).
@@Dragonstalon1001 My grandparents were so poor as to eat biscuits with pan drippings. Canned tuna would have been a luxury, miracle whip a pipe dream in the rural south...
60's and 70s: TV Dinners: a tray divided into four portions--a meat, a starch(mashed potatoes or Mac and cheese), a vegetable (corn, green beans, or peas and carrots) and a baked fruit pastry all baked in the oven and served on a folding table in front of the television! 80s: pasta primavera or shrimp scampi 90's: Chinese takeout
I'm craving a salad now. I'm actually craving a salad instead of cake. When did this become my life?!
Because it's hotter than hell and something cold and refreshing seems appealing?
congratulations - you just grew up!
@@annother3350 But I don't wanna! 😭
Right!? And often, our friend will send me an impromptu let's go out for dinner text, and I wind up ordering something inspired by these videos!
@@dementedfurbie. Wait till you experience a Thai salad -- It may just blow your mind
Interesting choices.. not at all what I was thinking would happen. I somehow expected a mostly bread mystery meatloaf from the depression.. maybe pot roast from the late 50s.. jello molds with stuff in them.. the savory kind, like an aspic. For dessert, a baked Alaska.. can't get a whole lot more American than a food named after a state
guy: i'd chose brownie over cake...
also guy: licks cake plate clean😂😂
I love the way Irish people say tiramisu!
That tuna needed some mayo that helps with all that driness
It's funny how you all pronounce tuna. Sounds like your saying Chuna. Great video,thank you for sharing 😀
In that part of Ireland, they hit the Ts hard
