  • What’s a beloved lunch from your 1970s that seems to have disappeared over the years?
  • That "Jiffy ground beef cornbread casserole" was called "Tamale Pie" on the Jiffy box and in cookbooks of the era.
  • @dm9078
    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.
  • @kh7955
    Tuna melts, PB and bacon, thanksgiving sandwiches, and fried bologna and cheese sandwiches haven't disappeared.
  • I'm southern and grew up in the 70's, but he lost me at tuna jello. :face-blue-wide-eyes:
  • @kalevala29
    One of my favorites as a kid was a cold, meatloaf sandwich. I liked apple butter sandwiches too.
  • @firebird6522
    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.
  • I still cant eat a turkey sammy without cranberry sauce on it. They never get tiring
  • @chrisj2991
    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.
  • @Cocobeachhippie
    Where is the FLUFFERNUTTER? Long live the Fluffernutter sandwich 🥪!!!
  • @dawnlinnell
    We never ever ever need tuna jello again. :body-green-covering-eyes:
  • @kwbarron
    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.
  • @rochelleb973
    Who doesn't eat a thanks giving sandwich after the holiday?
  • @darthtaiter
    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!

    Just after WWII in the midwest, my grandfather worked in a meat plant and saw how balogna (baloney) was made. After seeing what was put into it, he banned it from his home. My mom said he told them it was too disgusting to repeat. Naturally, my mother banned it from our diet as well, and I banned it from my own home. Seeing the video of the olive loaf being made turned my stomach. It made me remember what kids at school used to say about "baloney" when I was growing up: It's made from lips and a$$holes.
  • 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.

    And fried potato cakes made from left over mashed potatoes....still love those....😋😋😋😋😋
