Hey guys, would you try that ambrosia salad? Or do you know any other weird foods from the past? Btw, check out this video on the foods you should NEVER eat: th-cam.com/video/DzuOaJ9f8qI/w-d-xo.html&
I work in frozen foods. Frozen dinners are in no way dying out!!! Hi-c is still carried in the juice box aisle. Bubble tape is still found in major grocers. Delis have ambrosia salad as a mainstay in their selections. And cottage cheese?! Still popular? Where is this guy shopping?!
At Bad Rap's. Bad' Rap's is a grocery store on imagination lane when foods that tend to have all the bad reputations go. They're marketed with warped histories to make it sound like they're really bad.
Loretta Vial ~I used to think the same about Trader Joe's. You can't do all your shopping there, but for many things it's actually cheaper.I' come out of there with five full paper bags of groceries for $150; the same would be $250 to $300 at Safeway or whatever chain.
Ambrosia salad, is still served and made in the Philippines. We call it Fruit Salad though. It is treated as a dessert, made from heavy cream, condensed milk, Canned Fruit Cocktail, Canned Pineapples, freah fruit, and soft coconut meat(usually fresh ones).
This was the way my family made it when I was young.. didn’t even know is was a Philippine dish.. also is was called fruit salad. Nvr used whip cream unless someone wanted it in their personal bowl.
I thought that was a Texan thing. The fruit salad was pretty much just any fruit(s) of choice mixed with cottage cheese and whipped cream was optional. Personally, I like to add a little honey.
Here in UK, we say vegetables in aspic. Delicious. Lovely savoury aspic in pork pies too and aspic with shredded meat and sometimes hard boiled eggs through the centre - sliced and known as ‘brawn’.
Cottage cheese is still a favorite place in our house. You can add any fresh fruit. You can bake it in Italian dishes. Add tomato and you have a salad. People are missing out.
My grandmother makes it with fresh fruit too, usually oranges, she also adds stringy coconut and marshmallow bits. XD it certainly has an interesting texture. It tastes amazing. Jellied carrot salad is always served at Thanksgiving and Christmas in my family. It's really good.
Hard pressed to find TV dinners - are you kidding. I went to Kroger's the other day and I bought 6 of them and there were loads and loads of others taking them out of the freezers and putting them into shopping carts. A lot of people buy them all of the time.
Crisco started out as an alternative to lard used as shortening in cooking. Originally, Crisco was made from cottonseed oil. Maybe it still is, I'm not sure, but it was full of transfats. When this became an issue, Crisco changed its chemical makeup to eliminate the transfats. Many people still use Crisco in pastry crusts, cookies, and fry food in it as well.
We use it to make pie crust. My grandma's pie recipe was VERY different when the pandemic shortages over the holiday meant we couldn't get our hands on any Crisco shortening. Mom used a substitute and the crust was a lot harder and less flakey.
@Caroline Balkon Yeah -- real orange juice has 28g of sugar per 12oz. This channel has zero interest in offering real info. Should be 'pulled of the shelf' itself.
Were you listening? They were juiceboxes marketed towards kids. Coke is not. HI-C is still making a lot of money today but its not real big like it was.
@@miathapapaya And yet commercials for sugary cereals and candies continue to be aimed toward children, inserted between their favorite shows. They're still 'real big'.
@@lzeph - True. few well known products disappear all at the same time as long as there's still a demand. High-C isn't even completely gone just much less popular. More and more of us are choosing to purchase healthier food. Driving sales down for H-C & other 'unhealthy' food making them harder to find. Over time certain brands will disappear one by one. But no worries. If we get nostalgic and have a craving we can still find an assortment of these foods in some areas. Mainly in highly discounted, low priced, bring your own bag type of grocery stores (like Save-A-Lot, & Price Rite). These foods/drinks or a no-name brand copy of them will likely be on sale there for a very long time. Because it's hard to be chosey when you need to count every penny.
TV dinners were a lifesaver for me and my single mom. She worked all day and liked not having to cook every single night. Plus--and you didn't mention this--they were really cheap, something that appealed to us as we struggled to pay bills.
Chris N I remember the Foil ones from the 70's. We reused them and hung them in the Cherry trees and Raspberry bushes to keep birds from stealing fruit.
I have crisco in my pantry,lean cuisine in my freezer,cottage cheese in the fridge, and always love a good ambrosia salad !! I see all of these 8 items regularly in many stores.
They did a miserable job with the crisco. Its great for lining baking dishes and loaf pans with a thin layer and your baked goodie slides right now when done
I still eat cottage cheese to this day. I’ll eat it with meals or even have it as a snack with fresh peaches or oranges or tomatoes cut up. I’ll even eat it plain that’s how much I love it.
When I was a kid, cottage cheese was always at salad bars near the cut up fruit. I don’t like it with fruit. I do like it with savory foods, like on a baked potato with chives or as a substitute for ricotta in lasagna. Surprisingly my kids love cottage cheese. I wasn’t a fan of the lumpy texture as a kid
I eat cottage cheese with peaches, pasta or pineapple all the time. Sometimes by itself, added it to a salad to get protein or in place of ricotta cheese in some recipes. I used to have a recipe to add it to Jell-O that turned out like a layered fluff, but unfortunately I lost it.
Would just like to say, that in referencing medieval times for ‘ congealed’ salads, you should have made it clear that the jello used was/is aspic, it’s a meat jelly made by reducing beef stock enough so it sets in the fridge like a jelly but is very savoury
With the exception of congealed salads, I can find every single one of these items at every one of my local grocery stores that have a deli; they're all very popular at Walmart and Kroger. And BTW...ambrosia salad is the bomb-diggity.
Right?! I love ambrosia salad, also!! In fact, it's one of my favorite pig-out foods at buffets and stuff!! I still eat T.V. dinners, especially if they're on special and I have to have some for my lunch at work!!
And yet obesity is higher than ever before. We’ve just shifted our sugar and calorie consumption to higher end “healthy” brands and casual restaurants. Places like Starbucks serve nothing but caffeine laden sugar drinks (and sugar foods and cakes), shake shack and five guys burgers (healthy high quality fats and milk shake), Chipotle (hip calories), Cheesecake Factory (tasty and great ambiance 2,000 calorie dishes), etc. We’d probably be better off eating a Swanson TV Dinner at this point.
Not to mention what all the chemicals in the foods nowadays have in them! Sugar free means filled with saccharin/aspartame/etc. all of which have been proven to cause obesity and cancer!
@@kimberlyduncan1053 You are very correct. Now that I am older I can see a huge difference in people who stayed active and those who did not. It is kind of like smoking, alcohol and recreational drugs. When you are young you may not see the damage you are doing, but when you get older you find it very hard to get around and you just start slipping closer and closer to being bedridden and it becomes harder and hard to keep moving to avoid that.
I have most of these items in my fridge at least several times a month. Love cottage cheese, always have small bottles of Sunny D in my fridge, and make jello a lot. One of the strangest, but tastiest salads my mom used to make was lemon jello with tiny shrimp, celery, and shredded carrot. She would serve on a bed of lettuce with a small dollop of Mayo on top. Tasted better than you would think! The jello was less sweet back then, too.
I find an old Jello recipe book and it had you make lemon jello with vinegar and vegetables and tuna. I was skeptical but decided to make it. It was delicious!
The whole thing is BS. Everything they are talking about is still sold. And a lot of it is still fairly popular. Not sure who came up with this video but its nonsense.
Kathryn Beach I suppose it depends on what part of the country and one’s income. As a nurse (and having lived in several parts of the US) I’ve noticed that low-income families seem to eat more cheaply made processed and packaged foods. The southern parts of the US also seem to eat more sweet (or with sugar added) foods.
I stopped at 38 seconds in. "TV dinners" We eat more of those than ever. They come in bowls now, instead of partitioned aluminum trays, and we cook them in the microwave. If you think that's "unpopular" I'm not interested in whatever else you have on your list.
If you work in a hospital, eating a microwaved dinner, brought from home, might be the only way you can eat your lunch in the brief time that you are allotted. You won't spend the majority of your timed 30 minutes or less, walking to the cafeteria, buying lunch, waiting in line to pay for your lunch, walking back to your unit with your lunch, to eat it in the five minutes that you have remaining. If you bring a frozen dinner: you can stay in your unit, eat your apple, while your frozen dinner is in the microwave, eat your microwave dinner with the fork you brought from home, and drink the water that you brought from home- with minutes to spare.
I disagree with a lot of what's presented, but by "TV dinner" I think the uploader means a specific kind of frozen packaged meal that includes multiple separate dishes (a main entree plus up to three sides) that usually don't heat well together. It's a bad idea to expect a piece of corn bread to heat at the same rate a piece of chicken does, for example. The best you can expect is a compromise where the bread is overdone and chewy, and the chicken is cool and not crispy. That situation doesn't apply to the bowl you're talking about.
@@peg202xo7reading the nutritional panel on an apple if they had to have them would be rather horrifying too. Several of the weird unpronounceable items on those labels are naturally occurring. Now the quantity of salt in some items may be higher than you personally care for. However, I find that as someone with hyponatremia I have to be careful to eat ENOUGH salt every day. Otherwise I risk kidney failure and several other nasty painful potential deaths. So, realize that not EVERYONE needs to limit their salt intake. In fact too little salt is actually worse health wise. Though yes, I know that the average is to over do salt.
@@crystalh450 Trader Joe's has some good Indian meals--the entrée and the rice are in separate compartments. I always enjoyed the old TV dinners though, but I've been a vegetarian for 32 years so I had to reject them. I wonder if they're as good as I remember?
I don't know why cottage cheese would be on this list, especially at #1. I love cottage cheese and know plenty of other people who do as well. Also, cottage cheese is found at any restaurant salad bar, at least here in Wisconsin.
Cottage cheese is one of my favorites. I especially like eating it with peaches or pears on top. So much better for you than most flavored yogurts. I also use it in my lasagna.
Cottage cheese is one of my comfort foods. I have it as one of my sides for supper almost every week. Not even close to extinct in my household. It is delicious to me!
They never said it wasn't completely sold anymore, they just stated they aren't as popular as they used to be which is true. McDonald's really did quite selling Hi-c and less and less stores are selling it. T.v dinners, while still popular wasn't as appealing as it first came out, etc.
Yeah, but nobody's buying them The guy is totally right when he asked what are the chances I have any of these in my fridge... 0%. I do have lots of fresh fruit and vegetables though
@@shaddow_pet869 well hubba bubba as he stated in the video is only found in candy stores. But he is wrong as it is sold in Walmart and stores like the original comment said. It seems to me a lot of the items he mentions where you can only find it are very wrong.
Avishek Saini “nobody’s buying them” then why did I have a delicious cottage cheese open topped sandwich yesterday? Why does my grandma always have cottage cheese in her fridge. The others may never be bought but cottage cheese is bought pretty frequently.
We still make Ambrosia salad and there's ways of making it without all that sugar. Recommending yogurt over cottage cheese defeats the whole purpose of low sugar.
I eat frozen dinners all the time. Especially Stoeffers. Swanson isn't good but there are many others that are. There wouldn't be rows of frozen dinners if no one bought them!
@@denischabriddell986 The tuna casserole is better than I could ever make it ! There is a new line of frozen vegetarian out there that is deee-licious ! "Meat" balls again after all these years!
I'm literally eating a bowl of cottage cheese right now. I stopped my fork in mid air when you mentioned cottage cheese. I'm glad I can now finish my bowl. They still sell Bubble Tape at our Dollar Tree. 😍
I love a bowl of cottage cheese with just some pepper sprinkled on top. That's how my mother ate it when I was a kid and that's how I eat it today. But then again I am in my mid 50's.... 😂
Jello gelatin not Jello pudding and Crisco still makes great pie crusts and biscuits and ambrosia was always considered a dessert at our picnics and is still popular all over the usa.
This is click bait period!!! U can still buy these products and cottage cheese is good to eat!!! Anything can be bad for u if u eat it 24/7 ever hear of moderation
Yes, it's just a sad attempt at social engineering by telling viewers certain foods are "disgusting" and "unpopular". Sorry, but ANY food can be considered "disgusting" if you think about it long enough. These videos make me laugh...SO transparent.
Dennis Mc- I haven't seen Hi-C in a few years, no one I know drinks Sunny-D. Yes, anything can be bad for you in high quantities, but MOST of these are bad for you period. Crisco should NEVER be used in food, make candles or soap out of it. The FDA said absolutely NO transfat in your diet. Even the canola mix has chemicals and the label says "fewer transfat" not no transfat.
Back in the 80s, I packed cut up celery, apples, and walnuts--I mean packed--into cherry jello. My kids tore it up and got some nutrition. Learned how to make Ambrosia in 8th grade (I'm 70 now), and when I have a party, people come for the Ambrosia. Everything in moderation. And don't knock cottage cheese. Tasty, low cal, and a necessity in lasagna instead of ricotta.
@@sunniertimer598 cottage cheese is better for you than most yogurts on shelves today. I make homemade cottage cheese to help control the salt. But even the cottage cheese in the store fridge has better value than the majority of yogurts. Plain yogurt would be the best bet for nutritional value. Anything that says "no sugar" or "lite" have man-made chemicals sweetening the product.
I've got cottage cheese in my fridge right now. It's yummy with canned pears. (I home can my own pears with just a little bit of monk fruit sweetener so they're healthy.)
Plain Greek yogurt has a lot less sugar than regular yogurt. Actually cottage cheese & Greek yogurt are pretty close as far a nutritional value goes, but it really depends on wether u care more abt carbs, calories etc
Hey friends - Here's the recipe for "GREEN FLUFF". In a bowl blend together a can of UNDRAINED pineapple chunks or crushed, and pistachio green pudding mix. Add an 8 oz container of cool whip. Mix all together well, add 1 cup miniature marshmallows - blend.....add 1/2 cup of pecan chunks....mix...best if you can refrigerate before serving. AMBROSIA SALAD MIX TOGETHER 1 CUP OF EACH sour cream, marshmallows, coconut, drained canned pineapple tidbits, drained canned mandarin oranges, I add some sliced drained maraschino cherries. Best when refrigerated for an hour or so.before serving. I suggest these for holidays only.....and only a small amount.
Yeah, I don't know where these people get their information but this report is so slanted, just a light ice coating and you could sled down this hill of misinformation in record time! You want to buy BubbleTape? Go to your local, CVS, Walgreen's or any other convenience store! It's still out there!
I know, right? At this point, I'll never watch another of their videos and will be far more cautious about subscribing to anything. I would suggest unsubscribing, as well!
Daisy brand is the best! I like the fact it only has 2 or 3 ingredients. Look at the ingredient list on most other brands and you'll never eat then again!!!
This was made by a bunch of “foodies” who are probably starving themselves every other day, and have no idea how people without M.A. degrees, living in NYC or Southern California, eat.
I still make Ambrose a salad for Christmas and Thanksgiving. I make it with sour cream and mini marshmallows You stir a pint of sour cream with a bag of mini marshmallows. You add a small can of pineapple chunks and green grapes and coconut. You let it sit overnight in the refrigerator to let the marshmallow melt into the sour cream.
I prefer the larger curds, which are pretty much impossible to find these days for sure, usually do go for the yogurt instead, especially when it's usually cheaper.....P
@@janicewolk357 I use plain yogurt on baked potatoes and tacos instead of sour cream. Try it, really good. A plus is you can mix in a little honey and fruit for a sweet yogurt treat that is healthier than regular yogurt full of sugar, corn syrup and artificial flavors.
I eat cottage cheese to this day, and buy it regularly. Also salt cheese and Crisco (in a can!) is imperative if you want to make an apple pie that has a crisp and perfect crust...butter or margarine does not give you that wonderful texture, sorry.
Mom used Crisco lard in a can to make anything from Apple pie to Julianne fried potatoes. There is a certain crispiness that you can't get any other way.
@@hymanocohann2698 lard is better to bake and fry with, (especially tortillas--which i could never make because i refuse to use lard) and it's delicious, but i don't know about healthier.
My grandma used to make ambrosia. It was whipped cream, pistachio pudding, crushed pineapple, coconut, and unfortunately I cannot remember if there was jello in it. I loved it.
My grandma use to make it but she used mainly fresh fruits. I remember helping cut up the fruit. I think the only canned one was the cherries. I loved it and still do.
@@rubymoreno77 Marachino cherries, Yum! We use real fruit, and whip our cream ourselves. Sometimes we add cooked rice. Its nice when it is hot out and your stomach doesn't want heavy foods. It isn't unhealthy unless you eat it for 3 meals a day. It is mostly "everything in moderation" that is healthy. The gal who drank too much SunnyD and turned yellow because of Beta Carotene - which is just natural Vitamin A - was a case of no moderation, not the drink itself. This is a video full of half truths and emotion-yanking. :(
@@emradford5173 I was about to add, I've never heard of this being called, "Ambrosia Salad" as I've just known it as a dessert called, "Ambrosia" I haven't made it in years but the recipe that I use has only four ingredients. Marshmallows chopped in half, drained tinned pineapple, drained tinned mandarin drained and sour cream.
The only thing on this list that "disappeared" was the Hi-C. Everything else is still enjoyed by millions! Ambrosia salad can be commonly found ready made at the local grocery store in the Deli section. The fact that someone doesn't like something will not make it vanish.
I work at Family Dollar in Missouri and we sell 6 packs of boxed Hi-C in the orange and fruit punch flavors. And since there are several Family Dollars in most areas I don’t think they are that hard to find. Tastes just like I remember them as a kid.
Cottage Cheese? Excellent! I love it and it it's in every grocery store I've ever been in. Try fresh cut-up tomatoes, cottage cheese w/salt & pepper. Mmmm!
To be honest, it sounds really nice, I am from the UK and I've never heard of it, but I can almost taste it due to the description, its probably the only thing on this list I would try🤗
Sunny D was out 40 years ago? I thought I could remember it coming out in the 90s when I was a kid. I think the reason people stopped drinking it was because they found out the insane amount of sugar in it and they fact how just how little juice and vitamin c were actually in it. I think a lot of people still eat T.V. Dinners, they just call 'em "microwave meals" now.
You're right. Only thing is that like so many other things, folks got onto something else. That doesn't mean the product actually tanked though. It hasn't. In 1998 Sunny Delight brought this beverage back as a more catchy and modern "Sunny D" from the marketing grave with a successful campaign. I remember it from my childhood in the 70's. Sunny Delight was tasty but really awful for you then and has remained so. This video claims the product has tanked but Gerber Foods disagrees with that finding and because it's already been proven that high fructose corn syrup is addictive, I doubt the product will tank unless someone in the Fed makes it necessary to put a warning label on it. In the meantime Gerber Foods might need to consider a sugar free alternative and remarketing strategy for the possible new product.
Yes, I think this video was lame. The thing I remember growing up was Tang - which was pretty horrible itself - but I never heard of Sunny D until maybe the 1990s either.
It's just another click bait video. I stopped clicking on anything that says "The X most...." "The X worst..." or any generalized statement of what or what we do or don't do. It's all just nonsense.
I really like using crisco but after I found a couple years ago how bad it is for you, I quit using it. I still use it for frying chicken though, nothing else fries chicken that well for me.
The bland taste of cottage cheese can blend with any fresh or canned fruit, plus blending with vegetables will taste great. I particularly love cottage cheese with pineapple and blueberries.
Ambrosia Salad is the one I would bring back, because it was when families still got together . In todays world, I can't say the same, it seems that not one family gets together like in the olden days. It was also very tasty .
So sorry that this is the case for you. I just a Thanksgiving dinner with my large extended family at my nephews house!! 25 of us got together - my mother (the matriarch) My sister and I and our mates and my other nieces and nephews plus their families, plus my great nieces and nephews 😍 💙🧓 💙 🧑🦰 🧑🦲 🧑🦱 🧔👼💙 🧑🦰 💏🧕 👪 💙 plus 5 dogs, 2 cats, a pig (named Flash and yes, wandering through the house with us all, which we loved - more well behaved than several of the dogs!) & a bird . . . . it was sublime!! I feel SOOOOOO lucky!
Same here ! I am single and would starve without them. I refuse to cook for myself. Also a vegetarian...one company has just come out with a frozen line of meals and they are GOOD !
Agreed. I think the Crisco segment had the worst pictures, and that's saying something. Most of the pictures featured other oils that, regardless of what you think of them healthwise, were NOT trans-fats and not hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, which is what the audio was talking about.
The point? Sheer laziness. All they had to do was Google Crisco and there are tons i=of images of the solid kind. This was sheer click-bait, with no substance.
This video is hilarious. I use sunny d and raw egg whites to increase my protein intake. I was at a gendervreveal two weeks ago and the ambrosia sallad was the first thing to get finished off and my neighbor makes these incredible enchiladas she takes cottage cheese and blends it smooth to make a delicious creamy drizzle for them. And yes I have several hungry man meals in the deep freeze.
@@moand7862 we'll I use 4 raw eggs a cup of milk cocoa and instant coffee to make breakfast shakes. The egs keep you really full for a really long time you can control the sugar by using alternative sweeteners. The orange juice concentrate and egg whites blended together with ice are just like an orange Julius from days gone by. Easy way to increase protein.
You are right. I didn't notice it the first time I watched. Jell-O is the brand name and they do indeed bring out gelatin desserts. In fact the packaging is very similar to their pudding line so I would put it down to grabbing the wrong image and not paying enough attention to the details.
They never proof read any of this stuff! I still make ambrosia salad because everyone asks for it! We eat cottage cheese on a regular basis and Crisco makes my pie crust flaky ❣️I Keep TV dinners in my freezer. We love Jello pudding and gelatin . Next they’ll say we don’t eat butter or ice cream! Crazy isn’t it?
Mom had a recipe from her SIL for a Winter Fruit Salad containing sour cream, cottage cheese, fruit cocktail, pineapple chunks, and mandarin oranges, drained, and banana slices. We ate it at Thanksgiving dinner. I still make it once in awhile.
Hi-C is still everywhere. I work at a grocery supply warehouse. We get in roughly 1440 cases a week (usually 20-30 pallets, 72 cases per pallet). A case is 4-12 packs. And yes, they are those unbiodegradable wax/plastic/whatever boxes.
I agree completely people are eating worse now due to stress and financial reasons....they may be trying to be healthier but it's very difficult for them to stick to...
I will eat My Curd`s & Whey, Cottage Cheese until I am laid to rest! I LOVE the stuff! It is VERY Popular here in Arkansas, My Grandma and Mom used to make it themselves! Homemade Cottage Cheese is one of the most WONDERFUL things You can eat!
In india , cottage cheese is used in every home . Even it is been made at homes easily . In india it is called PANEER which is used in many dishes and is loved by the people .❤❤👌
@@kath5201 Thanks for the visual LOL.. I can relate! On the sweet side I love it with fresh pineapple and chia seeds and when on i'm on the salty mood just with cherry tomatoes with slivered almonds and/or chia seeds :)
in the 50's and 60's when I was growing up, my mom would make a "jello salad" and it was canned fruit with fruit flavored jello. Sometimes the whipped cream would be folded in before chilling, sometimes the whipped cream would be on top. It took me years to be able to eat whipped cream after that. lol. That stuff was "Gnasstie!" (that's how it's spelled when it's nasty X 10.)
Elaine Flanagan sounds familiar. Ours had different combinations but canned fruit cocktail was always in there. Sometimes mini marshmallows and/or cottage cheese. I think our family may have folded in the whipped cream at one time or another but I’m almost positive if they did it was Cool Whip. What’s funny is I’ve made gelatin with fresh fruit juice before and it’s really good. I could see putting in fresh fruit in it but my memories cringe at the idea 😀
I have eaten three pounds of cottage cheese for dinner before.! This is how I like to eat my cottage cheese get a 16 oz can of crushed pineapple mix that together with three pounds of cottage cheese and dinner is served.!
I love Daisy brand natural cottage cheese (read the label - you shouldn't find more than 3 ingredients you understand!) with sliced banana and cinnamon in the morning (or really any time 😂). 1/2 to 1 cup of high protein cottage cheese is filling for a while, a banana, high in potassium, magnesium, folate and other B vitamins, gives a bit of energy, and cinnamon, a thermogenic spice, gets the metabolism going while regulating insulin. No sugar or anything else needed. It's perfect, in my opinion!
My favourite way is hot grilled tomatoes on toast topped with cold cottage cheese straight from the fridge. A sprinkling of white pepper on top and it's just heavenly, lol. :)
My recipe: 500gr cottage cheese, 150gr sour cream, 1 level tsp. caraway seeds, 1 tsp salt, all well mixed will make a refreshing topping on toast in the morning. I have been eating it for many years. (How long? I am 90 now) It kept me healthy.
You can still find virtually 100% of this stuff, and most of it still sells well. As far as the Crisco is concerned...good luck trying to make your pastries come out tasting as good without it.
Crisco shortening was developed as a cheap substitute for butter, and a kosher and parve substitute for lard. IMHO, baked goods made with butter are far superior from those made with shortening, both tastier and healthier.
I was an eighties kid in Cincinnati, but my whole family was from Tennessee. We would go visit my grandparents every summer and every other Christmas (always a happy trip aside from arguing with my sister - happy times). Anyway, every single morning we were there, my grandma on my mom's side turned the stove on, heated an iron skillet and grabbed a large spoonful of lard. Once it was ready, she started dropping sausage and bacon on that sucker. Once that was done, she cracked some eggs and scrambled 'em up in that same pan. Some times she made gravy instead of eggs. Poor that stuff over her scratch biscuits and you won't be hungry for days. She was an amazing country gal that could make a kid from the suburbs feel like a country boy! On a side note, I've been eating the same way ever since and have perfect blood pressure, my ticker is strong as steel and my cholesterol is always down. Go figure.
Hey guys, would you try that ambrosia salad? Or do you know any other weird foods from the past?
Btw, check out this video on the foods you should NEVER eat: th-cam.com/video/DzuOaJ9f8qI/w-d-xo.html&
I've never tried most of these... yeah... idk why?! And frozen foods are bad... kinda take this advice from the video kids! (+me) I'm only 10
I had sunny d
Hi-c still sells but in a six pack but with the same price and less sugar
I like ambrosia salad and cottage cheese!
Cool
I work in frozen foods. Frozen dinners are in no way dying out!!! Hi-c is still carried in the juice box aisle. Bubble tape is still found in major grocers. Delis have ambrosia salad as a mainstay in their selections. And cottage cheese?! Still popular?
Where is this guy shopping?!
Trader Joe's 😉
Whole Foods
A cave in the middle of nowhere whilst tripping on the hallucinogenic gas inside.
At Bad Rap's. Bad' Rap's is a grocery store on imagination lane when foods that tend to have all the bad reputations go. They're marketed with warped histories to make it sound like they're really bad.
Loretta Vial ~I used to think the same about Trader Joe's. You can't do all your shopping there, but for many things it's actually cheaper.I' come out of there with five full paper bags of groceries for $150; the same would be $250 to $300 at Safeway or whatever chain.
SunnyD was like someone tried to make orange juice without oranges 😂😂
Sunny D is the only liquid that cuts the roof of my mouth
That's literally what it is
Remember TANG the orange powder with Vitamin-C.
Sunny d certainly made you go the bathroom a lot,
It tasted good so......
Cottage cheese is actually high in protein and low in carbs (sugars). Many yogurts are high in sugar making them less healthy.
"actually"
Ambrosia salad, is still served and made in the Philippines. We call it Fruit Salad though. It is treated as a dessert, made from heavy cream, condensed milk, Canned Fruit Cocktail, Canned Pineapples, freah fruit, and soft coconut meat(usually fresh ones).
This was the way my family made it when I was young.. didn’t even know is was a Philippine dish.. also is was called fruit salad. Nvr used whip cream unless someone wanted it in their personal bowl.
I thought that was a Texan thing. The fruit salad was pretty much just any fruit(s) of choice mixed with cottage cheese and whipped cream was optional. Personally, I like to add a little honey.
It's still served but fruit salad is something different.
Marshmallow is the problem. In the 90's people realize that marshmallows are too much sugar.
My mother makes it for family picnics and gatherings. It's too sweet for me and I don't eat marshmallows, but many of our relatives love it.
We make ambrosia every Christmas. We’ve always done that and I live in the South.
Cottage cheese still healthy and good to buy. Full of Protein as well. I still buy it.
Sammmmeeee
Cottage cheese with fruit mixed in, love it!
I love cottage cheese with jelly!
Me too.
charfeddine cherif I cant I’m lacktoseintolernt
Why is no one talking about the weird scary starting of the video??
Tashiee honestly
I thought I clicked on a wrong video lol It was scary.
I missed it the first time i was still getting settled.
Yeah, what was that?
That was really weird considering this is supposed to be an informative video about Food.. not.. The girl from the ring
The only thing here not used anymore is the word “congealed”.
It's an awful, unappetizing word. Just call it "jellied" (much better)
Never knew anyone who used the word "congealed". It was always "jello".
Yeah. I’ve never heard a jellied or jello salad called a congealed salad. It’s not even an adjective that describes it correctly.
Here in UK, we say vegetables in aspic. Delicious. Lovely savoury aspic in pork pies too and aspic with shredded meat and sometimes hard boiled eggs through the centre - sliced and known as ‘brawn’.
Cottage cheese is still a favorite place in our house. You can add any fresh fruit. You can bake it in Italian dishes. Add tomato and you have a salad. People are missing out.
Or sugar it up a little and chow down
I like it just plain. Great high protein snack.
@@katstorm13 I like it plain, too -- but only the 4% small curd variety!
As a diabetic, cottage cheese is a staple in my diet...small curd only😁
Sounds horrible
There is a healthier way to make ambrosia salads, using fresh cut up fruits, and fresh homemade whipped cream, and walnuts.
Please don't give them any ideas they'll just ruin it
That's the way my mom made it although I think there were still some marshmallows in there.
I prefer it without the whipped cream. Use plain or vanilla yogurt instead of whipped cream or sour cream.
I agree. I never used processed or canned fruit and I use just enough whipped cream to hold it together. The nuts make it more healthy, too.
My grandmother makes it with fresh fruit too, usually oranges, she also adds stringy coconut and marshmallow bits. XD it certainly has an interesting texture. It tastes amazing.
Jellied carrot salad is always served at Thanksgiving and Christmas in my family. It's really good.
Hard pressed to find TV dinners - are you kidding. I went to Kroger's the other day and I bought 6 of them and there were loads and loads of others taking them out of the freezers and putting them into shopping carts. A lot of people buy them all of the time.
Nancy Desch i have some now in my freezer!
If anything they came a long way and taste better.
The frozen food aisle is like 98% frozen food "tv dinners" in grocery stores where I live.
Yep I eat them about once a week.
Yea same
I can't stand the ones with fake meat, lol 😂... But stouffers are delicious 😀❤
May be not “classic” TV dinners, but I guess this program writers hasn’t walked down the freezer isle!
Ikr! I have a freezer full.
A lot of the stuff we have in our freezers are pretty much ready to eat and just needs to be heated. Like Hotpockets.
Exactly. Do you know how many times I’ve seen an empty row where the Stouffer’s meals were?
TV dinners are still around. They're now called prepackaged meals instead.
Hot pockets are great after school snack but I would rather make them then buy them
Crisco started out as an alternative to lard used as shortening in cooking. Originally, Crisco was made from cottonseed oil. Maybe it still is, I'm not sure, but it was full of transfats. When this became an issue, Crisco changed its chemical makeup to eliminate the transfats. Many people still use Crisco in pastry crusts, cookies, and fry food in it as well.
It was marketed as more healthy because it was made from vegetables. Nope it was no more healthy.
We use it to make pie crust. My grandma's pie recipe was VERY different when the pandemic shortages over the holiday meant we couldn't get our hands on any Crisco shortening. Mom used a substitute and the crust was a lot harder and less flakey.
I use it to make pies. Just buy the small can so it does not go bad.
Again I work in a grocery store and we sell almost everything on this list.
Now you're just selling your LIES here to us.
Seriously
Ew jelly salad
@@daniellesmith6988
U ever heard of tomato jelly salad it's not that bad but it's an acquired taste
unhealthy boy!
Wait. Hi-C was discontinued because of its high sugar content - 27g per box? So why is Coke still a thing? It has *39*g of sugar per can. Hmm.
@Caroline Balkon
Yeah -- real orange juice has 28g of sugar per 12oz.
This channel has zero interest in offering real info. Should be 'pulled of the shelf' itself.
Were you listening? They were juiceboxes marketed towards kids. Coke is not. HI-C is still making a lot of money today but its not real big like it was.
@@miathapapaya
And yet commercials for sugary cereals and candies continue to be aimed toward children, inserted between their favorite shows. They're still 'real big'.
@@lzeph - True. few well known products disappear all at the same time as long as there's still a demand. High-C isn't even completely gone just much less popular.
More and more of us are choosing to purchase healthier food. Driving sales down for H-C & other 'unhealthy' food making them harder to find. Over time certain brands will disappear one by one.
But no worries. If we get nostalgic and have a craving we can still find an assortment of these foods in some areas. Mainly in highly discounted, low priced, bring your own bag type of grocery stores (like Save-A-Lot, & Price Rite).
These foods/drinks or a no-name brand copy of them will likely be on sale there for a very long time. Because it's hard to be chosey when you need to count every penny.
Kids lunch box, my mom gave me those barrel shaped drinks that were terrible, ring dings and cookies. The 70s hahaha
Ambrosia salad is something I still love. I still get tv type dinners for when I've had a long exhausting day and dont feel like cooking.
My grandmother kept the aluminum trays and created her own TV dinners.
@@CptvonChaos I still do that from time to time. I get what I want and it saves money, too. (Modern containers, though, without stuff like BPAs)

Cottage cheese and Fritos are delicious.

Exactly
Maybe not the aspics
Definitely very inaccurate lol
TV dinners were a lifesaver for me and my single mom. She worked all day and liked not having to cook every single night. Plus--and you didn't mention this--they were really cheap, something that appealed to us as we struggled to pay bills.
Chris N I remember the Foil ones from the 70's. We reused them and hung them in the Cherry trees and Raspberry bushes to keep birds from stealing fruit.
And the frozen dinners, entrees, and sides -and desserts, too-are more mix and match today, with microwave instructions.
I have crisco in my pantry,lean cuisine in my freezer,cottage cheese in the fridge, and always love a good ambrosia salad !! I see all of these 8 items regularly in many stores.
Solid Crisco, which is what they were describing, or liquid, which is what they showed in the video? This video is the sloppiest work I've ever seen.
They did a miserable job with the crisco. Its great for lining baking dishes and loaf pans with a thin layer and your baked goodie slides right now when done
Here in the MIdwest, Ambrosia salad is still as popular at family gatherings as its always been.
Yes! Marshmallow salad, Watergate salad, frozen fruit dish...
Same in the south. I live in Mississippi.
Delish
That dish is a summer favorite here in Georgia.
I've even seen it up here in Alaska, its still extremely popular
I still eat cottage cheese to this day. I’ll eat it with meals or even have it as a snack with fresh peaches or oranges or tomatoes cut up. I’ll even eat it plain that’s how much I love it.
I eat it with pineapple or some type of berry or mixed berries
I like it with a little bit of strawberry preserves mixed in.
When I was a kid, cottage cheese was always at salad bars near the cut up fruit. I don’t like it with fruit. I do like it with savory foods, like on a baked potato with chives or as a substitute for ricotta in lasagna. Surprisingly my kids love cottage cheese. I wasn’t a fan of the lumpy texture as a kid
I eat cottage cheese with peaches, pasta or pineapple all the time. Sometimes by itself, added it to a salad to get protein or in place of ricotta cheese in some recipes. I used to have a recipe to add it to Jell-O that turned out like a layered fluff, but unfortunately I lost it.
Daisy , cottage cheese is my favorite :)
Haha! My wife makes ambrosia. I didn't know it was a thing, and I love cottage cheese with fruit, like peaches or pineapple.
Love Ambrosia salad😋
I like cottage cheese with blue berries
My sister introduced me to cottage cheese with apple sauce. It's practically a dessert! I love it!
You're making me crave these items!
cottage cheese and peaches ♥️
Cottage cheese is keto gold. It should not be on this list of outdated foods. Not to mention, cottage cheese is very popular in Eastern Europe.
tarteauxframboises it’s also awesome in Indian dishes as a substitute for paneer!!
Totally Keto gold!
Would just like to say, that in referencing medieval times for ‘ congealed’ salads, you should have made it clear that the jello used was/is aspic, it’s a meat jelly made by reducing beef stock enough so it sets in the fridge like a jelly but is very savoury
Half of these foods do not need to come back because the never left.
I still eat Lean Cuisines.
I still eat TV dinners, and I have had Sunny-D more than a few times in my life.
It differs from area to area
Neetu Chaitanya agreed, I was in Alabama for a few months of Business and saw Sunny Delight everywhere. Back in NY I never see it.
Angel In_Heaven
same here, it’s a great lunch at work. All you need is a microwave and a fork
With the exception of congealed salads, I can find every single one of these items at every one of my local grocery stores that have a deli; they're all very popular at Walmart and Kroger.
And BTW...ambrosia salad is the bomb-diggity.
Right?!
I love ambrosia salad, also!!
In fact, it's one of my favorite pig-out foods at buffets and stuff!!
I still eat T.V. dinners, especially if they're on special and I have to have some for my lunch at work!!
And yet obesity is higher than ever before. We’ve just shifted our sugar and calorie consumption to higher end “healthy” brands and casual restaurants. Places like Starbucks serve nothing but caffeine laden sugar drinks (and sugar foods and cakes), shake shack and five guys burgers (healthy high quality fats and milk shake), Chipotle (hip calories), Cheesecake Factory (tasty and great ambiance 2,000 calorie dishes), etc. We’d probably be better off eating a Swanson TV Dinner at this point.
Obesity is higher BC a hamburger is .99¢ & a salad is $6.00. . . 🤔
Not to mention what all the chemicals in the foods nowadays have in them! Sugar free means filled with saccharin/aspartame/etc. all of which have been proven to cause obesity and cancer!
@@AliP1970 rRght, the chemicals suppose to make it taste like the real thing, but it is fake, horrible!
Plus we need more exercise. Get outside and walk around!
@@kimberlyduncan1053 You are very correct. Now that I am older I can see a huge difference in people who stayed active and those who did not. It is kind of like smoking, alcohol and recreational drugs. When you are young you may not see the damage you are doing, but when you get older you find it very hard to get around and you just start slipping closer and closer to being bedridden and it becomes harder and hard to keep moving to avoid that.
I have most of these items in my fridge at least several times a month. Love cottage cheese, always have small bottles of Sunny D in my fridge, and make jello a lot. One of the strangest, but tastiest salads my mom used to make was lemon jello with tiny shrimp, celery, and shredded carrot. She would serve on a bed of lettuce with a small dollop of Mayo on top. Tasted better than you would think! The jello was less sweet back then, too.
I find an old Jello recipe book and it had you make lemon jello with vinegar and vegetables and tuna. I was skeptical but decided to make it. It was delicious!
"You've had jello before, right?"
Shows a box of pudding
Lol
I noticed that too lol
The whole thing is BS. Everything they are talking about is still sold. And a lot of it is still fairly popular. Not sure who came up with this video but its nonsense.
LOL! Good eyes!
Kathryn Beach I suppose it depends on what part of the country and one’s income. As a nurse (and having lived in several parts of the US) I’ve noticed that low-income families seem to eat more cheaply made processed and packaged foods. The southern parts of the US also seem to eat more sweet (or with sugar added) foods.
I stopped at 38 seconds in. "TV dinners" We eat more of those than ever. They come in bowls now, instead of partitioned aluminum trays, and we cook them in the microwave. If you think that's "unpopular" I'm not interested in whatever else you have on your list.
If you work in a hospital, eating a microwaved dinner, brought from home, might be the only way you can eat your lunch in the brief time that you are allotted. You won't spend the majority of your timed 30 minutes or less, walking to the cafeteria, buying lunch, waiting in line to pay for your lunch, walking back to your unit with your lunch, to eat it in the five minutes that you have remaining.
If you bring a frozen dinner: you can stay in your unit, eat your apple, while your frozen dinner is in the microwave, eat your microwave dinner with the fork you brought from home, and drink the water that you brought from home- with minutes to spare.
I disagree with a lot of what's presented, but by "TV dinner" I think the uploader means a specific kind of frozen packaged meal that includes multiple separate dishes (a main entree plus up to three sides) that usually don't heat well together. It's a bad idea to expect a piece of corn bread to heat at the same rate a piece of chicken does, for example. The best you can expect is a compromise where the bread is overdone and chewy, and the chicken is cool and not crispy. That situation doesn't apply to the bowl you're talking about.
Any kind of frozen prepared meal is "sodium city" and reading the nutritional panel on the package is rather horrifying. Canned food is just as bad.
@@peg202xo7reading the nutritional panel on an apple if they had to have them would be rather horrifying too. Several of the weird unpronounceable items on those labels are naturally occurring. Now the quantity of salt in some items may be higher than you personally care for. However, I find that as someone with hyponatremia I have to be careful to eat ENOUGH salt every day. Otherwise I risk kidney failure and several other nasty painful potential deaths. So, realize that not EVERYONE needs to limit their salt intake. In fact too little salt is actually worse health wise. Though yes, I know that the average is to over do salt.
@@crystalh450 Trader Joe's has some good Indian meals--the entrée and the rice are in separate compartments. I always enjoyed the old TV dinners though, but I've been a vegetarian for 32 years so I had to reject them. I wonder if they're as good as I remember?
I don't know why cottage cheese would be on this list, especially at #1. I love cottage cheese and know plenty of other people who do as well. Also, cottage cheese is found at any restaurant salad bar, at least here in Wisconsin.
Many diners in New Jersey serve cottage cheese as a part of a salad plate
Cottage cheese is amazing. Add a dollop of jam on top, and it's my standard diet dessert. My grandma loved it, so I grew up with it in the house.
Cottage cheese is one of my favorites. I especially like eating it with peaches or pears on top. So much better for you than most flavored yogurts. I also use it in my lasagna.
Are you from the south?
@@cjok8367 nope, I'm from the Rockies.
yummy just thinking of what you said.
I eat cottage cheese too with pineapple, sometimes with mixed berries or just alone or with black pepper
Yes, flavored yogurts is loaded with sugar
Cottage cheese is one of my comfort foods. I have it as one of my sides for supper almost every week. Not even close to extinct in my household. It is delicious to me!
Dude....we still have stores, like Walmart, that sell Sunny D, Hi-C, TV Dinners, Crisco, cottage cheese (with fruit,) and bubble tape.
They never said it wasn't completely sold anymore, they just stated they aren't as popular as they used to be which is true. McDonald's really did quite selling Hi-c and less and less stores are selling it. T.v dinners, while still popular wasn't as appealing as it first came out, etc.
Yeah, but nobody's buying them
The guy is totally right when he asked what are the chances I have any of these in my fridge... 0%. I do have lots of fresh fruit and vegetables though
Shaddow Burger King still sells it
@@shaddow_pet869 well hubba bubba as he stated in the video is only found in candy stores. But he is wrong as it is sold in Walmart and stores like the original comment said. It seems to me a lot of the items he mentions where you can only find it are very wrong.
Avishek Saini “nobody’s buying them” then why did I have a delicious cottage cheese open topped sandwich yesterday? Why does my grandma always have cottage cheese in her fridge. The others may never be bought but cottage cheese is bought pretty frequently.
We still make Ambrosia salad and there's ways of making it without all that sugar.
Recommending yogurt over cottage cheese defeats the whole purpose of low sugar.
I eat frozen dinners all the time. Especially Stoeffers. Swanson isn't good but there are many others that are. There wouldn't be rows of frozen dinners if no one bought them!
You should heat them up before you eat them

Jello gelatin not Jello pudding and Crisco still makes great pie crusts and biscuits and ambrosia was always considered a dessert at our picnics and is still popular all over the usa.
I mean this video is so full of it. Every company making pies uses lard aka Crisco to make the crusts.
This is click bait period!!! U can still buy these products and cottage cheese is good to eat!!! Anything can be bad for u if u eat it 24/7 ever hear of moderation
Yes, it's just a sad attempt at social engineering by telling viewers certain foods are "disgusting" and "unpopular". Sorry, but ANY food can be considered "disgusting" if you think about it long enough. These videos make me laugh...SO transparent.
I bought Hubba Bubba bubble tape just last night at my local Walgreens. It's very much still available.
Dennis Mc- I haven't seen Hi-C in a few years, no one I know drinks Sunny-D. Yes, anything can be bad for you in high quantities, but MOST of these are bad for you period. Crisco should NEVER be used in food, make candles or soap out of it. The FDA said absolutely NO transfat in your diet. Even the canola mix has chemicals and the label says "fewer transfat" not no transfat.

Back in the 80s, I packed cut up celery, apples, and walnuts--I mean packed--into cherry jello. My kids tore it up and got some nutrition. Learned how to make Ambrosia in 8th grade (I'm 70 now), and when I have a party, people come for the Ambrosia. Everything in moderation. And don't knock cottage cheese. Tasty, low cal, and a necessity in lasagna instead of ricotta.
FOR ME, COTTAGE CHEESE HAS NEVER GONE OUT-SOME SINGLE SERVING YOGURTS HAVE AS MUCH SUGAR AS A CADBURY CREAM EGG
True, but there is also low sugar yoghurt and no sugar yoghurt.
@@sunniertimer598 cottage cheese is better for you than most yogurts on shelves today. I make homemade cottage cheese to help control the salt. But even the cottage cheese in the store fridge has better value than the majority of yogurts. Plain yogurt would be the best bet for nutritional value. Anything that says "no sugar" or "lite" have man-made chemicals sweetening the product.
@@baylorsailorTrue, but I can't eat cheese and jerkey all the time. I ate the yoghurt as a dessert.
I've got cottage cheese in my fridge right now. It's yummy with canned pears. (I home can my own pears with just a little bit of monk fruit sweetener so they're healthy.)
Plain Greek yogurt has a lot less sugar than regular yogurt. Actually cottage cheese & Greek yogurt are pretty close as far a nutritional value goes, but it really depends on wether u care more abt carbs, calories etc
Hey friends - Here's the recipe for "GREEN FLUFF". In a bowl blend together a can of UNDRAINED pineapple chunks or crushed, and pistachio green pudding mix. Add an 8 oz container of cool whip.

Good to use on baked potatoes rather than sour cream too.
@@janicewolk357 I use plain yogurt on baked potatoes and tacos instead of sour cream. Try it, really good. A plus is you can mix in a little honey and fruit for a sweet yogurt treat that is healthier than regular yogurt full of sugar, corn syrup and artificial flavors.

Lard is better for crust and is healter.

Sunny D was out 40 years ago? I thought I could remember it coming out in the 90s when I was a kid. I think the reason people stopped drinking it was because they found out the insane amount of sugar in it and they fact how just how little juice and vitamin c were actually in it.
I think a lot of people still eat T.V. Dinners, they just call 'em "microwave meals" now.
You're right. Only thing is that like so many other things, folks got onto something else. That doesn't mean the product actually tanked though. It hasn't. In 1998 Sunny Delight brought this beverage back as a more catchy and modern "Sunny D" from the marketing grave with a successful campaign. I remember it from my childhood in the 70's. Sunny Delight was tasty but really awful for you then and has remained so. This video claims the product has tanked but Gerber Foods disagrees with that finding and because it's already been proven that high fructose corn syrup is addictive, I doubt the product will tank unless someone in the Fed makes it necessary to put a warning label on it. In the meantime Gerber Foods might need to consider a sugar free alternative and remarketing strategy for the possible new product.
Yes, I think this video was lame. The thing I remember growing up was Tang - which was pretty horrible itself - but I never heard of Sunny D until maybe the 1990s either.
They got it wrong. I used to buy Sunny D for my kids in the late 90s until my doctor told me it contained vegetable oil. Never bought it again
I stopped drinking it because it reliably gave me heartburn... orange juiced does that too, but Sunny D does it faster.
I sold lots of sunny D in the 80s to schools asa juice distribution
You need better researchers! Almost everything you stated as “fact” was factually incorrect. Do better!
Yes this video was very biased lol
It's just another click bait video.
I stopped clicking on anything that says "The X most...." "The X worst..."
or any generalized statement of what or what we do or don't do. It's all just nonsense.
@@spocksvulcanbrain "... I stopped clicking ..."
Yet here you are.
Chill out you certainly watched it
@@stonytina3177 yeah, that's true. But I didn't watch more than 20 seconds.
you messed up on the Crisco clip - you showed parts of it with canola oil ----- completely different
They kept showing bottles of Crisco oil when the bad stuff is supposed to be the shortening.
Canola is just as bad.
I really like using crisco but after I found a couple years ago how bad it is for you, I quit using it. I still use it for frying chicken though, nothing else fries chicken that well for me.
have you ever tried peanut oil for frying chicken - YUM YUM
@@poppys3728 I am allergic to oils. Only canola and sunflower are okay to eat. Olive oil and cotton seed oil make me really sick.
Y'all got to try cottage cheese and pineapple yummy
Had some today!
Cottage cheese and peaches are also really good
@@clarissaroberts4147 that is where it all started with me when I was a kid. It'll never get old 🤤
I’ve always eaten cottage cheese and peaches but I haven’t tried pineapple
@@TheGrimKeifer you should experiment with any fruit you like. I also really like it with strawberries
I just finished eating a big bowl of cottage cheese and canned peaches. My favorite go to middle of the day snack!!
Cottage cheese and peaches, one of my families favorite desserts
Yeah
I must try that, thank you, it sounds yummy. With thick freshly whipped cream on top - I am slim so can do that.
Ever had cottage cheese with fresh grapes? The flavors and textures intermingle in an unusual yet pleasant way.
Yes! Delicious!
Jade
Red or white? I usually just eat the cottage cheese plain, but with grapes sounds like it'd be interesting. 😊
I'm gonna try it! It sounds good with any fruit or berry!!
It can accomplish that with a few foods, I often flavor mine with fresh herbs which develop over the days.
It's is the BEST. and if you add a little bit of lavender sugar, get ready to die in heaven. I love it with pineapple, too
Cottage cheese, it is made from fresh milk and is good natural protein supplement
Shardulee Lakhpati ,best protein source
The bland taste of cottage cheese can blend with any fresh or canned fruit, plus blending with vegetables will taste great. I particularly love cottage cheese with pineapple and blueberries.
Love me some cottage cheese with tomato and chives, one of my summer staples
Apparently cottage cheese can cause cellulite.
My Room Who cares.
Ambrosia Salad is the one I would bring back, because it was when families still got together . In todays world, I can't say the same, it seems that not one family gets together like in the olden days. It was also very tasty .
So sorry that this is the case for you. I just a Thanksgiving dinner with my large extended family at my nephews house!! 25 of us got together - my mother (the matriarch) My sister and I and our mates and my other nieces and nephews plus their families, plus my great nieces and nephews 😍 💙🧓 💙 🧑🦰 🧑🦲 🧑🦱 🧔👼💙 🧑🦰 💏🧕 👪 💙 plus 5 dogs, 2 cats, a pig (named Flash and yes, wandering through the house with us all, which we loved - more well behaved than several of the dogs!) & a bird . . . . it was sublime!! I feel SOOOOOO lucky!
Plenty of people, including myself still eat TV dinners. Now they're just called frozen dinners.
Or microwave dinners......
Very well said
Same here ! I am single and would starve without them. I refuse to cook for myself. Also a vegetarian...one company has just come out with a frozen line of meals and they are GOOD !
@@shantyirish7564 I'm going vegetarian and I'm glad Amy's and Evol have vegetarian dishes.
@@shantyirish7564 I eat a lot of Amy's vegetarian dinner and Healthy Choice vegetarian dinners.
So what's the point of showing liquid canola oil when you're talking about solid hydrogenated oil?
My thoughts on that is just more examples of the brand, but I'm not bright side so I can't say for sure lol
Maybe because it has been shown that canola oil is not all that healthy either...?
Agreed. I think the Crisco segment had the worst pictures, and that's saying something. Most of the pictures featured other oils that, regardless of what you think of them healthwise, were NOT trans-fats and not hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, which is what the audio was talking about.
The point? Sheer laziness. All they had to do was Google Crisco and there are tons i=of images of the solid kind. This was sheer click-bait, with no substance.
Maybe that just shows us that they really don't know what the heck they are talking about, lol... just click bait!
I can still find all, if not almost all, of these foods and drinks at my neighborhood Fred Meyer today.
He says countless times that yes you can find them at grocery stores they are not as popular,
Smh
This video is hilarious. I use sunny d and raw egg whites to increase my protein intake. I was at a gendervreveal two weeks ago and the ambrosia sallad was the first thing to get finished off and my neighbor makes these incredible enchiladas she takes cottage cheese and blends it smooth to make a delicious creamy drizzle for them. And yes I have several hungry man meals in the deep freeze.
Sunny D and raw egg whites? How? Why? Other than that I'm on board for the rest.
@@moand7862 we'll I use 4 raw eggs a cup of milk cocoa and instant coffee to make breakfast shakes. The egs keep you really full for a really long time you can control the sugar by using alternative sweeteners. The orange juice concentrate and egg whites blended together with ice are just like an orange Julius from days gone by. Easy way to increase protein.
He repeatedly says “jello” but shows is a package of pudding, not gelatin. Details!
You are right. I didn't notice it the first time I watched. Jell-O is the brand name and they do indeed bring out gelatin desserts. In fact the packaging is very similar to their pudding line so I would put it down to grabbing the wrong image and not paying enough attention to the details.
They never proof read any of this stuff! I still make ambrosia salad because everyone asks for it! We eat cottage cheese on a regular basis and Crisco makes my pie crust flaky ❣️I
Keep TV dinners in my freezer. We love Jello pudding and gelatin . Next they’ll say we don’t eat butter or ice cream! Crazy isn’t it?
@@joypiepenhagen7118 same as my house!!!
Corn starch!
But some puddings DO contain gelatin!!! Then again, not all do so Lynne Battaglia-Triggs is only partially correct.
Cottage cheese for sure...I still buy it and mix with fresh fruit, or fruit cocktail. It's a good source of protein and I like the texture!!!
I have 2 tubs in the fridge!
Mom had a recipe from her SIL for a Winter Fruit Salad containing sour cream, cottage cheese, fruit cocktail, pineapple chunks, and mandarin oranges, drained, and banana slices. We ate it at Thanksgiving dinner. I still make it once in awhile.
@@laurenlagergren4848 Sounds totally exotic and so delicious... I could binge eat.
@Madison Faeolin I watched an OZ episode which touted the wonders of cottage cheese... I trust OZ a lot.
I just eat it on its own or dip carrots in it
I love cottage cheese with fresh fruit like pineapple and mango.
Hi-C is still everywhere. I work at a grocery supply warehouse. We get in roughly 1440 cases a week (usually 20-30 pallets, 72 cases per pallet). A case is 4-12 packs. And yes, they are those unbiodegradable wax/plastic/whatever boxes.
At first I thought that was a white cake on the thumbnail. I still love cottage cheese.
Same here. lol
I thought so, too!
I only clicked on this to find out what it was, lol.
This is hilarious! Is this guy from an alternate reality? You can still buy pretty much all of this everywhere
If this country has become soooooo "health conscious" why are we the fattest humans on the planet?
I agree completely people are eating worse now due to stress and financial reasons....they may be trying to be healthier but it's very difficult for them to stick to...
We eat too much and do not exercise enough.
Because we can afford food.
U.S. is not the fattest country in the world, however americans could use more excercise and a better diet for sure.
@@wvh.b.apprentice9648 We love our GMO processed food.
I will eat My Curd`s & Whey, Cottage Cheese until I am laid to rest! I LOVE the stuff! It is VERY Popular here in Arkansas, My Grandma and Mom used to make it themselves! Homemade Cottage Cheese is one of the most WONDERFUL things You can eat!
Cottage cheese with canned peaches is so good!
And canned pears!!! Staple of my life!
I agree
EricaYE6 pineapple or apple butter
Yes!!! Also canned pears. Pineapple chunks too!! Yummy!
@@soniacirocco2632 ~ Ooh yum, pineapple chunks. I've got to try that. Thanks!
Cottage cheese especially with fresh chives or pepper spread on top yeah!!!!!!
In india , cottage cheese is used in every home .
Even it is been made at homes easily . In india it is called PANEER which is used in many dishes and is loved by the people .❤❤👌
I was gonna comment the same thing
Bring back?! I still see a lot of these items in stores and cottage cheese.w fruit is tasty.
there is absolutely nothing wrong whit cottage cheese! it does not belong on this list
Especially since it is still very widely sold! This video is weak.
OLAV - Think again......Cottage cheese is made from milk...and milk is now racist!
www.agweb.com/article/-milk-is-now-a-symbol-of-racism/
OLAV WILHELM eww ur answer is grows I eat it vomited u dummmmm🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
I actually bought myself some in this mornings grocery shop, instead of the usual light ricotta. CC, tomato & pepper on pumpernickel bread=yummy 😀
@@kfoster3616 PETA at it again *smh*
i have to disagree... I still buy and crave and purchase cottage cheese, it is very versatile and I do love everything about it :)
I do too. I can sit and eat a whole container by myself.
My favorite is cottage cheese on toasted English muffins, sliced strawberries, and drizzled with honey. OMG....so good. Eat it over the sink!
@@kath5201 Thanks for the visual LOL.. I can relate! On the sweet side I love it with fresh pineapple and chia seeds and when on i'm on the salty mood just with cherry tomatoes with slivered almonds and/or chia seeds :)
@@KevinBenecke yes, I have to force myself to stop somewhere in the middle.. lol..
Me too!
Those congealed things are called aspics. And you use plain gelatin not Jello for those.
and tomato aspic is just nasty. My mom got into making that kind of thing for a while. Never did like it.
Yes we had a class where we made pate in a mold with with some sort of pie dough and aspic
in the 50's and 60's when I was growing up, my mom would make a "jello salad" and it was canned fruit with fruit flavored jello. Sometimes the whipped cream would be folded in before chilling, sometimes the whipped cream would be on top. It took me years to be able to eat whipped cream after that. lol. That stuff was "Gnasstie!" (that's how it's spelled when it's nasty X 10.)
Elaine Flanagan sounds familiar. Ours had different combinations but canned fruit cocktail was always in there. Sometimes mini marshmallows and/or cottage cheese. I think our family may have folded in the whipped cream at one time or another but I’m almost positive if they did it was Cool Whip.
What’s funny is I’ve made gelatin with fresh fruit juice before and it’s really good. I could see putting in fresh fruit in it but my memories cringe at the idea 😀
Christy Stewart yes but people also made them with lime jello
SunnyD and Cottage cheese is still a big seller at Costco San Diego stores. 🤟
I have eaten three pounds of cottage cheese for dinner before.! This is how I like to eat my cottage cheese get a 16 oz can of crushed pineapple mix that together with three pounds of cottage cheese and dinner is served.!
@Faye D do you really eat that way are you being serious I'm open to trying new things if you're being serious about really eating it that way.!
I love it with papaya and some hunny
Cottage cheese and pineapple is sooo goooood
I love Daisy brand natural cottage cheese (read the label - you shouldn't find more than 3 ingredients you understand!) with sliced banana and cinnamon in the morning (or really any time 😂). 1/2 to 1 cup of high protein cottage cheese is filling for a while, a banana, high in potassium, magnesium, folate and other B vitamins, gives a bit of energy, and cinnamon, a thermogenic spice, gets the metabolism going while regulating insulin. No sugar or anything else needed. It's perfect, in my opinion!
Try it with grape jelly yumm
Cottage cheese and tomatoes with pepper is like my favorite snack!!
I like it with blueberries and strawberries, but I'm going to try tomatoes!
Me too!
add some spring onions to it and it brill :)
My favourite way is hot grilled tomatoes on toast topped with cold cottage cheese straight from the fridge. A sprinkling of white pepper on top and it's just heavenly, lol. :)
Add some baby shrimp!
My recipe: 500gr cottage cheese, 150gr sour cream, 1 level tsp. caraway seeds, 1 tsp salt, all well mixed will make a refreshing topping on toast in the morning. I have been eating it for many years. (How long? I am 90 now) It kept me healthy.
Great idea, Joe. Have you tried running it under the broiler for a change?
More power to you - Ima try it.
Cottage cheese has enough salt in it. I'd make the same but no or less added salt.
I always love cottage cheese with canned peach slice to this day.
All these food can be found in my grocery store. And they all still sell pretty frequently. I should know I work there
I work at a Walmart and we carry all these things...except savory congealed salads!
I forgot about ambrosia salads though. We always had that at family gatherings. I loved that stuff.
I should try one
We call it marshmallow salad and still have it at holidays
@@AirParrott I don't even remember what we called it. We certainly didn't call it ambrosia. We probably called it fruit jello or something xD
You can still find virtually 100% of this stuff, and most of it still sells well.
As far as the Crisco is concerned...good luck trying to make your pastries come out tasting as good without it.
YES!! There's no substitute for real butter.
Real butter and animal lard make the BEST pastries. :0)
You can't really taste a difference between it and vegetable based shortening 🙄
Crisco shortening was developed as a cheap substitute for butter, and a kosher and parve substitute for lard. IMHO, baked goods made with butter are far superior from those made with shortening, both tastier and healthier.
I was an eighties kid in Cincinnati, but my whole family was from Tennessee. We would go visit my grandparents every summer and every other Christmas (always a happy trip aside from arguing with my sister - happy times).
Anyway, every single morning we were there, my grandma on my mom's side turned the stove on, heated an iron skillet and grabbed a large spoonful of lard. Once it was ready, she started dropping sausage and bacon on that sucker. Once that was done, she cracked some eggs and scrambled 'em up in that same pan. Some times she made gravy instead of eggs. Poor that stuff over her scratch biscuits and you won't be hungry for days.
She was an amazing country gal that could make a kid from the suburbs feel like a country boy!
On a side note, I've been eating the same way ever since and have perfect blood pressure, my ticker is strong as steel and my cholesterol is always down.
Go figure.
