1920's, eh? I remember back in the early 1960's my mom made the best deviled eggs, Waldorf salad and stuffed celery. They were a must for picnics, and the salad and celery were served at Thanksgiving.
Deviled eggs are still absolutely essential to any Southern pot luck dinner buffet. Pineapple upside down cake is one of my favorite deserts. My great grandmother used to make turkey al la king. She had a special serving dish that she always used for it. I haven't had that in years. I think I'll make some for dinner.
Never have I thought of chicken a la king as fancy. Lol...my mom only made it to use up leftovers. I still love it along with many of these wonderful dishes. I wish people would cook like days gone by. Real food that isn't ultra processed.
I’m 77 and I grew up eating most of these dishes in the 50s. At my parents parties and their friends houses and for picnics and casual buffets at Christmas.
My maternal grandmother would coordinate food at Thanksgiving at her house. My mom and her sisters were each assigned a dish to make while there. My youngest aunt was so excited to get to make the deviled eggs now that she was a married lady. She mixed up the filling then asked her mother, my grandmother, what she should put the filling in? Turns out, my aunt made egg salad because she chopped up the entire eggs!! She was teased about that for years. My mom loved divinity and she would try to make some every holiday season. Unfortunately, her divinity never hardened because of the humidity in the air where we lived. My dad loved her so much, he would pour the liquid divinity into a cup and drink it. She kept trying. As far as I know, myself and my siblings never tried mom's "liquid divinity".
In the 60's my Dad made many of these incredible appetizers for my brother's wedding. During that time my Dad worked at the Waldorf. We all followed in his footsteps. To us, good food also must have PRESENTATION. Thank you, gor the memories.💯🕺💃🙏🗽😆👍🍷😊
Hah!..Talk about a stroll down memory lane. Clearly, some of these goodies are well represented today but others need to make a roaring come back. Thnx !!!!!
Agreed, deviled eggs are always on special meal menus at our house, my daughter's baby shower was an array of tea sandwiches, curried chicken salad, cucumber, thin ham, all with butter or cream cheese, I made dozens upon dozens and they were inhaled❤🎉
I love a lot of these dishes. I’m almost 63, but spent a lot of time cooking with my grandmother. I think many of these are still often served in communities “in fly over country”. They might not be new, but they are still wildly popular at our community potlucks, funerals and parties. I almost always take a big plate of deviled eggs to family dinners and I love pineapple upside down cake.
I’m actually bringing deviled eggs for Thanksgiving this year. I usually had them at my dinners that I hosted. My children are grown now and have Thanksgiving at their homes and like I said I’m bringing the deviled eggs this year. Always eaten and no leftovers!
@@stephaniemccord6100 , my Gram used to make it along with aspics and the vegetable gelatin salads. I really liked it and forgotten all about it. She made a 7-up cake too.
Almost everyone made a jello mold of some kind. Not my favorite especially the savory ones. Jello with celery and carrots, yuck. I do like a fruit salad in jello. I just make it in a bowl. In the 50s a box of jello was 10 cents lol.
The Waldorf salad always makes me smile. It reminds me of my beloved late Mom. She loved to feed all the kids. She was feeding my Nephew this salad and he proclaimed “Mamaw, please don’t feed me no more of that old “Darf salad”! Thanks for invoking such a wonderful memory❤
Recently, I have been hearing a lot of people "discovering" deviled eggs which puzzles me. Deviled eggs are still served, they are quite common. Yes, some things go out of fashion, but deviled eggs have always been around. What is this fake hype about deviled eggs ??
I teach at a school with ~80% African American students. Deviled eggs are high on their list of holiday favorites. I'm also in the deep south, and you know, plenty of white folks live deviled eggs, too. We also love to put hot peper jelly on cream cheese and spread it on crackers.
My sons friends were over the moon when I served them devilled eggs. Their Mothers were too busy to cook in those days. I must try the ginger ale mold.
Had one today at Thanksgiving. Sister always brings it, because she buys it at the store. Everyone else cooks, but it’s her thing, and we eat it, and snack on leftovers.
My grandmother and mother always had the relish tray. Still remember my mother's divider crystal dish. Baby gherkins and pearl cocktail onions and olives. I still love stuffed celery with cream cheese, easy snack.
Stuffed mushrooms are still a fav along with deviled eggs & oysters rocker feller! Those 3 appetizers will never die! Relish trays are still around too!
I'm 90 years old so I remember a lot of these recipes my favorites were the deviled eggs and Divinity of course in fact in cooking class in high school in the 50s we were making divinity I forgot how to do it now that's been many years ago. That chicken ala King sure look good. And the stuff celery my mother always had that on her really straight with the olives and the pickles those dishes that had dividers on them usually at Thanksgiving she had that dish for the before meal thanks for the video.💙💙💙💙
Stuff celery. A divided crystal dish always had olives black and green with baby gherkins. That was always at Thanksgiving. Christmas was ribbon candy,peanut brittle, hard candies. Also a bag of assorted nuts in shells. Nutcracker with all those digging utensils! Lol
I was born in the early 60s, and grew up with these foods. I still make a lot of them and transferred the information on to the next generations. We still have these at family gatherings. My son's favorite cake is pineapple upside down cake. I think that these are foods that are just so satisfying and healthy a lot of them are going from generation to generation.
At my small 1960s Catholic grade school they added raisens to the Waldorf salad. Most students didn't like it, but we had to eat everything served before being allowed out to the playground after lunch. When the nuns weren't watching I hid it and the mushy peas in my empty milk carton 😊
My mom made us finger sandwiches for lunch sometimes in the '60s. I still make icebox cake, but it's in my grandmother's way: graham crackers layered with chocolate pudding, with whipped cream on the top. Canapes are still served at parties, and that's why you still find sliced loaves of tiny pumpernickel in supermarkets. Waldorf salad is one of my family's Thanksgiving favorites. Dunkin Hines makes a mix for pineapple upside-down cake that's sold in supermarkets. Deviled eggs are a picnic food today. Oysters Rockefeller are still on menus in upscale seafood restaurants. Divinity is still made as a holiday candy, commercially and at home. Relish trays are still found at parties and on holiday tables, and there is special dishware still sold for them. Chicken a la King is sold in cans on the canned-meat aisle in supermarkets. (And that's where I'm stopping, because this supposed roundup of bygone foods that aren't bygone is getting ridiculous.)
My mother used to make “icebox cake” in the 50s and early 60s. She made it with Melody brand chocolate wafers and whipped cream. It was a very simple dessert but very tasty.
I loved the boil in bag chicken a la king and honestly thought it was better than the recipe I made from scratch once with sherry in it. Sadly, I had to give up wheat, which is used to thicken the sauce, so I couldn't have it anymore. Maybe it's time to try making it myself again.
I remember making Divinity after getting my great Aunts recipe. It was awesome. I remember most of these, still make many and wasn’t born until 1960. I think their timeline is off.
Divinity is tricky. You have to get it to the perfect temperature. And, never make it on a rainy day or it won't set. But it's called Divinity because it is divine.
These are the foods my grandparents used to make- along with some southern specialties (we’re Texans). All four grandparents were young adults in the 1920s. They lived long enough for me to share most of these dishes, and I even learned to make many of them.
The ginger ale salad looks refreshing. That would be a nice treat for the summer. The upscale tea houses still do finger sandwiches as part of the treats that they offer with the tea. Some coastal delis and Cuban restaurants in Florida still offer deviled crabs.
Love the Chicken A la King, it was popular to serve at weddings even in the 50's. The Ice Box Cake is simple and delicious as is Pineapple Upside Down Cake!
Australia 1960s special occasion fare was an echo of many of these 1920s recipes which were handed down, especially via the CWA - Country Womens Association. Finger or traffic light sandwiches deliberately alternately arranged with red, green and yellow fillings, canapes with various toppings on bread or dry bikkie bases, waldorf salad, devilled eggs, oysters kilpatrick as well as rockafeller, relish trays which we call savoury platters, stuffed celery aka celery boats, swedish as well as italian meatballs with pasta, chicken â la king rebirthed in 1952 as coronation chicken. I still regularly make all these recipes and other long time favourites like pavlova; last time was a savoury platter for arvo tea with a visitor yesterday!
My husband's aunt would entertain us during Christmas and again during Summer, she loved it ! She made a simple bean dish that I loved, I haven't made it in yrs because my husband doesn't like it, a can of original Pork and Beans , add onion finely diced, cucumber small chunks, mix together with a tablespoon of maninaise ,salt, pepper! She was the Host of all the family get togethers ,she was 92 when she died so she probably got that little dish from one of the Older Magazines back in the 30's or 40's!
@@ItsJustLisa The title and narrative strongly implies that these foods were only popular in the 1920s and abandoned shortly, thereafter. They continued to be party favorites for decades.
My grandmother would make Divinity. She put a Hershey kiss inside each one. As I recall it could only be made if the humidity outside was correct. Delicious!
I miss them so much. I’m not old enuff to remember the 20’s but my mom carried over recipes of the 20’s into the 50’s. I get creative with cooking/baking and miss ‘stoles’ of the past.
Look up choco wager cookies. They are not nabisco, but I’ll bet they’ll do the trick. Choco wafer cookies come in sugar free for diabetics. No reason one can’t substitute.
Pineapple upside-down cake is soo delicious, and especially when made in a cast iron skillet in the oven. The battery brown sugar under the pineapples and the moist cake...yum
Relish trays were the highlight of my holidays growing up.. set all through the day to munch on.. now people are fancy calling them charcuterie boards.. same thing 😁🤍pimento cheese and celery.. oh man.. deviled eggs 🤤I ate most of these things. 🤍
I bought a mold, in 1974, just like the one used for Ginger ale salad segment, when I was 17. My sister had a tupperware party, at which I helped. I was able to buy one, at a discount, and I put it in my Hope Chest. I was able to use it at my first Christmas dinner in 1977, 3 years later. I almost cried, when I saw it had broken, in 2014, 37 years later.
Im 70 and still have family over for dinner at least 3 times a week. Chicken ala king is STILL well received. I put it over biscuits, rice, or whatever the kids want. Deviled eggs? Oh my god- all the time! At Easter? 5 dozen eggs- dinner and leftovers
I remember most of these. Deviled crab were really good. They're all good. My Mom's specialty was pineapple upside down cake. You don't see that anymore.
In Germany many of the dishes are still Common food. Only by another Name. Iceboc cake ist grillage. Chicken King ist hühnerragout. Of course we have devlished eggs. So 100 years ago German and American cuisine was much more alike!
I still make all of these items. Only, the chocolate wafer cookies are seemingly extinct. So, I bake my own. The only thing I don't fix at home is oysters Rockafeller. If seen on a restaurant menu though, I will order them. My mother made them all.
My mom made a lot of these items in the 60’s too. Her mother used to make them when she was a little girl in the 20’s. Her mother also had card parties with other lady friends.
As a boy in the 1950's we loved the icebox cake, there was a particular brand of large very thin dark chocolate cookies used for this and I don't know if its still around.
I hate fish, but I love deviled or stuffed crab. You use to see it on fish platters at seafood restaurants. I haven't seen any in years now. Our family MUST have stuffed celery at our Thanksgiving table. We add chopped olives to softened cream cheese, and the spooned into sectons of celery. No mayo!
We still have many of these, today. They are favorites of my grandchildren, which they make, now that they are grown up. My mother used to make them, though she was born in 1925. I watched her, so I made them, and our children watched me, as did our grandchildren. Now, they are carrying on traditions of two women, their great great grandma, and great grandma.
Oddly enough attended a funeral wake two weeks ago and finger sandwiches were on the buffet. Did not know they were called by that name but they were so easy to eat.
Most of these look good and the ones I have tried and enjoyed are good. We forget about the latest greatest in favour of what's new in vogue. Happy to see a reminder of some of the popular treats with some history. The way Waldorf salad morphed over the years reflects how these dishes remain tried and true. Presentation make a difference also- the garnishes and plating can bring new life to these recipes. A fun video !
Blast from the past! I grew up in the 50s, and most of the dishes in this video were regulars in our household. I didn't know they were associated with the 1920s however.
The tea sandwiches are alive& kicking in Britain, afternoon tea is everywhere ❤👍
We do afternoon Tea in NYC. It's lovely
In Germany as well!
My daughter just had afternoon tea yesterday with the finger sandwiches in UK
Also in Australia.
America too
I still eat a lot of these things, like deviled eggs, Waldorf salad and pineapple upside down cake.... maybe I'm stuck in the 20s
So am I! I’m 86+ y/o! These are some of my favorite foods!
No. Sounds yummy. A classic never goes out of style. It's also a form of comfort food if it reminds you of good times .
Yes, timeless favorites - Deviled Eggs, Waldorf salad 🥗, Pineapple Upside Down cake
I'm stuck right along with ya😉😉
eXACTAMENTE LO MISMO ESTUVE POR COMENTAR !! jeje
,
Abandoned? No way. I still prepare most of these items and enjoy them immensely. 😊
Really? You make that ginger ale salad? 🤔
@@RJS1974I wanna try it. I’ve been obsessed with making creative jello dishes lately.
@@RJS1974 I do, but as a sort of wet salad..no jell. Less liquid.
Several of these items were part of my childhood in the 1960s and 70s.
Yes, I stuffed many a celery stick when helping mom as a kid in the 70’s.
The same with Me!
Now Ik what to do w my moms green Tupperware mold💚 Ty

We always had deviled eggs and celery with pimento cheese at Thanksgiving.
I still make deviled eggs. They haven’t been abandoned.
I make deviled eggs. My mom always makes Waldorf salad for family gatherings like thanksgiving.
I remember too
I made all these in the 70’s especially stuffed mushrooms.
This was fun to watch!

Most are still pretty common. I guess it's just they were more novel, more of a "thing" at that time.
My maternal grandmother would coordinate food at Thanksgiving at her house. My mom and her sisters were each assigned a dish to make while there. My youngest aunt was so excited to get to make the deviled eggs now that she was a married lady. She mixed up the filling then asked her mother, my grandmother, what she should put the filling in?

Cute stories. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful story! ❤❤
These are still favourites among some people. We would all be a lot healthier if this kind of food was the norm.
Waldorf Salad is my favorite. Pineapple Upside Down Cake is best cooked in a cast iron pan.
By far! Nothing creates the caramelized crust on an upside down cake like a hot cast iron skillet.
I stilll make both!
The ONLY way to make a pineapple upside down cake-imho👍🏼😊
You are soooooi right!
YES‼️
In the 60's my Dad made many of these incredible appetizers for my brother's wedding. During that time my Dad worked at the Waldorf. We all followed in his footsteps. To us, good food also must have PRESENTATION. Thank you, gor the memories.💯🕺💃🙏🗽😆👍🍷😊
My mom always used to say "presentation is everything". RIP❤
We eat eith our eyes - it's why food for someone who's lost their appetite needs careful presentation.
Hah!..Talk about a stroll down memory lane. Clearly, some of these goodies are well represented today but others need to make a roaring come back.
Thnx !!!!!
I still make Deviled Eggs for the Holidays. Still a family favorite food.♥️♥️❤️
Me too! My family requests them!
Same here! For my mother's 90th birthday I made them to look like little penguins .
Everyone still eats deviled eggs! They're definitely not "gone" as the headline suggests.
Agreed, deviled eggs are always on special meal menus at our house, my daughter's baby shower was an array of tea sandwiches, curried chicken salad, cucumber, thin ham, all with butter or cream cheese, I made dozens upon dozens and they were inhaled❤🎉
We had them at Thanksgiving dinner, the day before yesterday, as part of the appetizers.
My mother made all of this in the 50's through the 80's
My mother also made many of these dishes, some were special occasions and some we had every day, especially the Waldorf Salad. Miss you Mom.
My grandmother made Waldorf salad and jello molds . All the kids hated them! Also, Ambrosia salad, thank god, party food is,so much better now!
Stuffed celery in my home was peanut butter topped with raisins. Locally called “ants on a log.” It was a kid favorite.
I definitely grew up eating ants on a log
Still fix stuffed celery: I use softened cream cheese with some mayo for the filling and add paprika to each piece.
We always had celery sticks filled with pimento cheese.
@karenkellett8980 A lot did. I could never find pimento cheese for a sandwich.🙂
@@SherryHill-k5ystill eat as stuffed celery as a snack. I don't put mayo in it though. Love it.
I love a lot of these dishes. I’m almost 63, but spent a lot of time cooking with my grandmother. I think many of these are still often served in communities “in fly over country”. They might not be new, but they are still wildly popular at our community potlucks, funerals and parties.

YUM 😋
Those deviled egg fans must love it when you show up. IYKYK
Exactly. Deviled eggs at every party and pineapple upside down cake is still my favorite!
My mother would make elegant deviled eggs for a fancy dinner party and put a dab of red lumpfish caviar on each.
I can taste it now.
Still made in the "non-flyover" states as well. The only one I did not know was ginger ale salad
Most of these recipes were still very popular in the 70s, 80s and 90s!
Auch bei mir in Deutschland waren und sind sie immer noch beliebt. 😊
I’m actually bringing deviled eggs for Thanksgiving this year. I usually had them at my dinners that I hosted. My children are grown now and have Thanksgiving at their homes and like I said I’m bringing the deviled eggs this year. Always eaten and no leftovers!

That sounds like an even better version, whipped cream or cool whip, the Nilla wafers and strawberries sound great.
Yum! I’ll have more, please!
We grew up on ice box cake made with alternate layers of Graham crackers, chocolate pudding, and cool whip 😊

Those 3 appetizers will never die! Relish trays are still around too!
Thank you for bringing back so many memories of my mother and grandmother.
I make finger sandwiches for tea and family gatherings. Many people do.
Finger sandwiches were a feature of Victorian high teas; they were not invented in the 20’s.
My mom made them for afternoon ladies canasta parties back in the early sixties.
In New Orleans, we still have these dishes at parties!
I'm 90 years old so I remember a lot of these recipes my favorites were the deviled eggs and Divinity of course in fact in cooking class in high school in the 50s we were making divinity I forgot how to do it now that's been many years ago.

90. What a blessing! You have seen so much history unfold in your lifetime. You are a treasure ❤
I'm 70, and I still make most of these. I grew up with my grandmother.
Stuff celery. A divided crystal dish always had olives black and green with baby gherkins. That was always at Thanksgiving. Christmas was ribbon candy,peanut brittle, hard candies. Also a bag of assorted nuts in shells. Nutcracker with all those digging utensils! Lol

All of these were popular through at least the 1970s, and for many, into the 1980s. Some are still popular today.
Stuffed celery for us was pimento cheese on the celery. I didn’t know there was another way. Always before the holiday meal.
Sliced bread was not invented until July 7, 1928. That is why the Tea Sandwiches were so popular. The uniform look was unique.
ahhh, ok then.
Tea sandwiches! The greatest thing since sliced bread.
@ you are funny

The upscale tea houses still do finger sandwiches as part of the treats that they offer with the tea.
Some coastal delis and Cuban restaurants in Florida still offer deviled crabs.
The ginger ale salad does seem refreshing. Do you remember a punch with sherbert and ginger ale. I think it was ginger ale because it was fizzy.
Love the Chicken A la King, it was popular to serve at weddings even in the 50's. The Ice Box Cake is simple and delicious as is Pineapple Upside Down Cake!
We still eat them in Germany.
try it with cubed ham, too.
Can't imagine Chicken A la King without plenty of diced pimentos from the jar and a good splash of sherry.

I have about half of these on a regular basis.

Ditto. A relish tray is a must.😊
I love a relish tray, I could make a meal out of it.
@@karenkellett8980 So could I. We always had radishes too and olives.
@@SherryHill-k5yWe always had scallions on the relish tray. Dad loved them.
It's high time these sweet or savoury treats were reintroduced. They're tasty and attractive.
Most of them never left!
My grandmother would make Divinity. She put a Hershey kiss inside each one. As I recall it could only be made if the humidity outside was correct. Delicious!
Stuffed celery is still on every Christmas and Thanksgiving table, but we do have it as a snack throughout the year as well.
Me too! Love it😊
We love ice box cake! Never abandoned by our family.❤
Nabisco no longer makes their thin "Famous chocolate wafers". Bummer. They were really good.
I miss them so much. I’m not old enuff to remember the 20’s but my mom carried over recipes of the 20’s into the 50’s. I get creative with cooking/baking and miss ‘stoles’ of the past.
Look up choco wager cookies. They are not nabisco, but I’ll bet they’ll do the trick. Choco wafer cookies come in sugar free for diabetics. No reason one can’t substitute.
Pineapple upside-down cake is soo delicious, and especially when made in a cast iron skillet in the oven. The battery brown sugar under the pineapples and the moist cake...yum
I love tea sandwiches
I used to eat chicken a la king all the time in the 70s. It was great over rice! The rest is my in-laws holiday dinner menu. Every holiday😂
My mom, born in 1925, used to make chicken ala king for dinner often enough. Sounded fancy, but super easy!
Ate lots of these in the 1970s and beyond I had no idea my fav foods were from the 20's lol
We used to have Pineapple upside down cake and deviled eggs at parties in the 1970s
Relish trays were the highlight of my holidays growing up.. set all through the day to munch on.. now people are fancy calling them charcuterie boards.. same thing 😁🤍pimento cheese and celery.. oh man.. deviled eggs 🤤I ate most of these things. 🤍
I bought a mold, in 1974, just like the one used for Ginger ale salad segment, when I was 17. My sister had a tupperware party, at which I helped. I was able to buy one, at a discount, and I put it in my Hope Chest. I was able to use it at my first Christmas dinner in 1977, 3 years later. I almost cried, when I saw it had broken, in 2014, 37 years later.
All of these were still in vogue into the 1960s. I love them still.
I enjoy all of those foods, except for the oysters. I have a special plate for Deviled Eggs. Quite yummy!
Im 70 and still have family over for dinner at least 3 times a week. Chicken ala king is STILL well received. I put it over biscuits, rice, or whatever the kids want. Deviled eggs? Oh my god- all the time! At Easter? 5 dozen eggs- dinner and leftovers
This was so much fun. Thank you!
I still make deviled eggs and stuffed mushrooms for parties, and there are never any leftover. And what party doesn't have a relish tray?
I remember most of these. Deviled crab were really good. They're all good. My Mom's specialty was pineapple upside down cake. You don't see that anymore.
I used to make very good deviled eggs but I haven't for a while now.
I think the relish tray has been replaced by Antipasto and Charcuterie
Thanks for this video!❤
In Germany many of the dishes are still Common food. Only by another Name. Iceboc cake ist grillage. Chicken King ist hühnerragout. Of course we have devlished eggs. So 100 years ago German and American cuisine was much more alike!
What a lovely video of yummy goodies! As others have said not really abandonned, but not front seat either.
I still make Waldorf salad and deviled eggs.....love them!
We grew up,with most of this…1950s and 60s
Most of this?
Me too! I still make most of them.
Canapés are totally still in style. Great video!❤
My experience indicates that most of these remain popular!
I still make all of these items. Only, the chocolate wafer cookies are seemingly extinct. So, I bake my own. The only thing I don't fix at home is oysters Rockafeller. If seen on a restaurant menu though, I will order them. My mother made them all.
I think that depending on the region and state of the US, some of these dishes are still popular. I grew up eating many of these dishes.
My mom made a lot of these items in the 60’s too. Her mother used to make them when she was a little girl in the 20’s. Her mother also had card parties with other lady friends.
I eat a lot of those dishes now! 🥰
As a boy in the 1950's we loved the icebox cake, there was a particular brand of large very thin dark chocolate cookies used for this and I don't know if its still around.
I hate fish, but I love deviled or stuffed crab. You use to see it on fish platters at seafood restaurants. I haven't seen any in years now. Our family MUST have stuffed celery at our Thanksgiving table. We add chopped olives to softened cream cheese, and the spooned into sectons of celery. No mayo!
Your version sounds so tasty! I must make stuffed celery this year.👍👍👍
Loved deviled crabs!!
I love stuff celery at anytime!
@deborahmannino3775 So so I and it's wonderful. Do you put papkika on yours? I do.
@SherryHill-k5y my mom did. I don't because it's just me,nothing fancy, but yummy!
Well, still have a lot of these dishes today, in one format or another..just shows when it's good..stays good!😊
Water cress ..we got from the creek on our property..super yummy mixed or just home made mayo..love radish tastes..water cress is your green
I still serve delived eggs, stuffers mushrooms And oysters
We still have many of these, today. They are favorites of my grandchildren, which they make, now that they are grown up. My mother used to make them, though she was born in 1925. I watched her, so I made them, and our children watched me, as did our grandchildren. Now, they are carrying on traditions of two women, their great great grandma, and great grandma.
WHo "abandoned" DEVILED EGGS???
chicken a la king, stuffed celery, devilled eggs and the fresh garnishes so great i do them for parties also french cheese dip
Oddly enough attended a funeral wake two weeks ago and finger sandwiches were on the buffet. Did not know they were called by that name but they were so easy to eat.
Most enjoyable. Thank you. 😋👍
I have not forgotten these foods
I love this old recipes
Most of these look good and the ones I have tried and enjoyed are good. We forget about the latest greatest in favour of what's new in vogue. Happy to see a reminder of some of the popular treats with some history. The way Waldorf salad morphed over the years reflects how these dishes remain tried and true. Presentation make a difference also- the garnishes and plating can bring new life to these recipes. A fun video !
I definitely wouldn't say deviled eggs and oysters Rockefeller have been "abandoned".
Blast from the past! I grew up in the 50s, and most of the dishes in this video were regulars in our household. I didn't know they were associated with the 1920s however.
Some of these dishes are still made today.
Finger sandwiches are still around in plenty in England. It's called "high tea".
