Everything you're talking about I grew up on and I still eat it😂😂😂😂😂 my wife when she gets off from work she doesn't want to go in the kitchen she wants to know even though I'm retired some home a lot and she works as a registered nurse she always call and say and all I can say is surprise surprise surprise
Yes! In a hot dog bun, you can eat the sandwich without the filling squirting out the sides of the bun. Still messy but not nearly as much as sloppy joe on a hamburger bun.
I like how the video is like "foods of the past" when I literally make half of these dishes on a regular basis. Though I am old now (44), so maybe that's accurate. LOL
Stuffed peppers, beef stroganoff, Swedish meatballs, sloppy joe sandwiches, tuna noodle casserole, pot pies; you're singing my song - great memories for me from the 60s & 70s. Yummy yum yum.
I'm 59 years old and I remember all of these foods many of them that I have eaten many times over the years or have seen many television commercials of those that i haven't eaten before but I remember all of them and Thanks for the Memories. 🇺🇲📺📻💞📺📻🇺🇲
😂😂 I ate half this stuff last week 😂😂 I cook at home. Never enjoyed street food. And as a New Yorker that’s wild but idk I just loved cooking in general. I just had stuffed peppers.
It's served in my house by my Brazilian wife at least every 2-3 weeks. Sloppy Jonny's (as we call it) and some good Idaho french fries is a dang fine meal! Keep it up!!!! 💖💖
My almost 30-year-old son, 8-year-old granddaughter, and I moved in to take care of my 77-year-old mother (welcome to the 21st century village 😊), and my mom and granddaughter just had sloppy Joe's. I'm teaching my granddaughter what's important. Also, stroganoff, meatloaf, Swedish meatballs, shepherds pie, seafood chowder and goulash are all in the monthly meal rotation 😁. I'm creating a cookbook for her for when I die so her dad doesn't starve her, lol. I'm also teaching her the basics of cooking & baking. She loves learning. These are the home cooking recipes she loves. I do love to try new, exotic recipes with her. She's 8 and willing to at least try everything.
I still make chicken a a king, pot pies, pot roast, meatloaf, goulash, and scalloped potatoes all the time. I guess I didn't realize they had faded away into history. 😅
Thanks for this video. I was born in the 70’s and I remember my mom and grandmother making these dishes for dinner when growing up, My grandparents had fondue parties with their guests and those were the weekends my siblings and I weren’t allowed to come over lol. I still love all these dishes. I made them for my family when our children were younger and they still lived at home. I’ve always especially loved stuffed bell peppers. As a little girl I didn’t like sloppy joes because I found them too messy for my hands 😂but I began loving them soon after I was allowed to use a fork and knife to keep my hands clean 😂
None of these are "lost" in my family...raised on these dishes & still cooked & eaten today. If people aren't eating these timeless recipes they are missing out.
We just had sloppy joes yesterday, and I make stuffed peppers, tuna noodle casserole, meatloaf, and pot pies often. One I don't miss is mom's creamed tuna on toast.
The pot roast you featured here brought back many Sunday Dinner memories. That is about the size my parents used for our family of five (any leftovers went into a one dish meal the next day called "Bubble and Squeak". I went grocery shopping yesterday and there is no way to afford a cut of meat like that these days!! By the way, Shepherd's Pie is always made with Lamb. When made with ground beef it is called COTTAGE PIE.
I remember as a kid in the 60s/early 70s (from the UK) having no idea what a TV dinner was. It seems strange sometimes to see two English speaking countries with quite different food memories of the same era. My childhood food memories are egg and chips, stews (lots of them), sausage and mash, sausage and chips, cottage pie - most of these things I still eat today and you can still get them in traditional English cafes.
A fish and chips, save me a Guiness stout. Hello from across the pond and friends from The Royal Irish Rangers and 17th Royal Hussars. God save the Queen and bless her memory.
Clam chowder a dish of the past??? THAT'S INSANE. I eat styles of clam chowder - New England & Manhattan - more now than I ever did as a child. Born in 1956.
I've made most of these more times than I can count. I made them all from scratch, never from canned soups or frozen pre-made meals. I did try the boxed scalloped potatoes once and my dog wouldn't even eat it.
Perhaps that is why they are unavailable in grocery stores. Those of us still enjoying them are making them at home, and not using a box product. A good cook can make anything better than what you can pull off a shelf.
I think Sloppy Joes, Chicken Pot Pie, Beef Stroganoff, Chicken a la King, Salisbury Steak, Swedish Meatballs, Meatloaf, maybe Goulash, and Clam Chowder will all make a major revival because given the state of the current economy, the emphasis is on _comfort foods_ and all these fit that description. Interestingly, thanks to a company called IKEA, Swedish meatballs never completely went out of style, and meatballs have evolved with a modern version cooked in grape jelly, a common snack during the American football season.
they lost out in the '80s because more families were on the go and fast food was far too convenient. Now that McDonald's, Wendy's, and others are the price of a sit down meal restaurant, I expect to find more cooking at home, and that is why these foods flourished 50 years ago. They could be readily prepared without a lot of work and then baked or set to slow cook in a pot while other things were done. Inflation is making the family of four cost $100 out eating and you can prepare any of these today for a third or less of that.
Are the meatballs cooked with only the grape jelly? No other ingredient in the sauce? If they are that sweet, my preference would be for Swedish style or with BBQ sauce.
German Nostalgia Food from the 1960s is Toast Hawaii. Toast, Ham, Slice of canned pineappke, slice of Cheese, bake till Cheeseburger melt. And a cocktail cherry on top.
Stuffed bell peppers, Shepards pie, meat loaf and mashed potatoes can be found ready-made at Costco in their deli section if you don't have time to make & they are delicious! After watching this, I'm going to make sloppy joes for dinner. Funny how my mother had made almost all those dinners in the video, and yes, she would make Lobster Thermador for my dad's birthday, and we weren't fat...hmmm....oh well....I sure do miss her cooking & how good the kitchen would smell 🤤 Thanks for the memories!!
I make almost every single one of these dishes at least once during the winter...so nostalgic! I grew up with my mom making them for the family. (Except liver and onions..no thank you.)😂
Very much the traditional meals of families with stay-at-home moms who read Family Circle and Woman's Day. Brisket was a staple in my home (born in the early 50s), my sister and I were given individual frozen pot pies several times a year and corned beef sandwiches were somewhat common. By contrast, I don't think I ever saw half of these dishes as a child.
I am 22 years old. I cook every day or throw together what I mealprepped. I wasn't allowed Junkfood as a child and Teen. I don't eat what wasn't made with real ingredients. I moved to a big City for University. Tried some frozen meals. That stuff tastes. Not edible. I am all about health, I do my family recipies with a healthy Twist but I mostly cook how my grandgrandmothers and grandmothers cook.
This video claims 'Dietary Trends' made these fall to the wayside. Which is pretty much saying it was the great push to 'Fast Foods' and more 'processed foods', not to mention our ultimate in laziness = processed foods that are now 'delivered to your door'! lol Still make these. Nutritional , tasty, wholesome, comfort foods!! Easy to pack for a nutritious lunch at work! Don't get me wrong I do indulge in some fast foods 'at times' but would rather eat better. Happy eating - Cheers!
I am 71 yes old and many of these are still our Sunday faves. Just because many people became "vegan" doesn't mean we all did nor do we have to conform.
This video made me hungry! Here in the UK, many of these dishes are still popular. Cottage Pie (beef) and Shepherds Pie (lamb) are iconic. I still make liver and bacon with onion gravy. The Swedish meatballs are eaten at Ikea restaurants! The sad fact, however, is that many people don't want, or have the time, to cook dishes that require a great deal of preparation. They turn to ready meals first.
These meals have not faded into history. They are still made by those who know how to cook. Most younger generations rather over pay for a meal delivered by Uber eats due to laziness and lack of planning
Disagree, as someone early 30s, a lot of these aren't that healthy (very few greens in some of these) and I used to eat a fair bit of them when I was a kid. A few problems come from a lot of vegetables in my area tending to be sold more in large packs for families and as someone single, that's a huge waste compared to just buying a healthy meal from a restaurant, especially if I'm buying large quantities that are just going to go to waste. Then for something like pot roast, that takes so much prep and cook time for quality that almost nobody has these days. Finally, beef is also in a lot of these and it in itself is fairly pricey nowadays. All said though, I'm glad I live in Texas where we have H-E-B and a couple of these are actually quality ready-made meals you can grab off the shelf for half the price of a restaurant meal.
Some of these classics should make a come back as they where affordable tasty and filling, just what is needed in trying times. BTW shepards pie made with beef mince is called cottage pie incase anyone wants to look up a recipe.
Every one of these comes with the tag: “many people would love to see x make a comeback on dinner tables”… then MAKE IT! Eat what you want!! Honestly, get a cookbook!
Easier said than done. Even the "reprints" of classic Betty Crocker cookbooks have been "updated" to be more "healthy" and "modern". The only legitimate recipes "from the past" that I have literally date from that era. People who have never cooked these dishes in their original forms would not even be able to select an authentic version from the many recipes available on-line. They don't taste the same, because they are not the same.
Simple Sloppy Joe Recipe: 1 lb. ground beef, one 19 oz. can Tomato Sauce and one package of taco seasoning. Brown beef and remove excess grease, add tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Simmer until sauce is thickened. Serve on hamburger or hot dog buns.
wow, many of these 'graced' my mom's table. economy and flavor! beef stew with only potatoes and carrots besides the main event. my favorite was veal stew (I know) - with veal and onions cooked into a savory stew and served over rice. I only ate fondue once - with my girlfriend at the time and 'Billie' her friend from her hometown. I wonder how Billie is today!
A variation of pot roast, beef stew is a favorite in my household. For those in a rush, ground hamburger and spaghetti sauce from Italian mushroom spaghetti mix and tomato sauce makes a good Sloppy Joe filling. And substituting cream of mushroom with Alfredo sauce really brings out flavor for tuna casserole 👍
I make a good chunk of these, quite often too. Salisbury steak, tuna casserole, stuffed peppers, sloppy joes, chicken pot pie, swedish meatballs, Shepherds pie(of cottage if you wanna be difficult about it), goulash, and meatloaf especially a smoked meatloaf are all amazing.
We also just added pork chops with sour kraut ( rinsed thoroughly) with fresh apples and a little apple sauce. Served with mashed potatoes. Make a two meal dinner! Yum!😋
For the majority of these, I neither ate them then or miss them now, but, corned beef and cabbage and fondue are two of my absolute favs. Had both recently...
Love your vids ... but hey... I just watched one of your videos saying Sloppy Joes were one the meals you did NOT want back - I love Sloppy Joes but is it something you want back or not ?
I make Lobster/Seafood Thermidor and/or Lobster/Seafood Newburgh all the time - Both are great dishes to show off when you bring something for Pot Luck -- ANd I make Swedish Meatballs almost every week. Pot Roast made in the Pressure cooker(not an instant pot) is a regular too. And I have bought Rotisserie chickens to make Chicken Pot Pie. And Meatloaf is still a staple today - it never went out of style. About the only thing I do not regularly make is Salisbury steak - because we never made that -we made what we called Meatloaf Mix Hamburgers instead.
There was also a risqué element to the fondue party, as one of the "rules" was if a woman dropped the item she was drinking, she had to kiss all the men, vice versa for the men
I remember Sloppy Joes from grade school it was made from tasteless ground beef and ketchup they also never even toasted or heated the buns frozen buns !! It was thought that the hot ground beef would help melt the buns never did so we ate the ground beef with ketchup and called it a day ! My Memories from school lunches in Dade Elementary school in Miami Florida 1960s & early 70s . Although we had a great Principal shout out to Misses Samson and my home room teacher Miss Bell !
I have added liver to many of my dishes 🤫 I usually mix it with ground beef or mushrooms… * friends, neighbors and family always come to my house for my food. They don’t know some of my secrets but they know my food fills them and makes them feel good. I enjoy grinding veggies to mush and mixing them into rice and other foods too.
I consider myself to be a Sloppy Jo aficionado. Nothing beats a GOOD scratch recipe, but on those occasions when you need to use a canned sauce, I personally recommend DEL GROSSO JOE JOE’S sloppy Joe sauce. I like to dress it up with chopped onion and green pepper if I have that option. I prefer using a lightly toasted Brioche bun and a couple slices of Sechler’s bread and butter pickles to top it all off. It goes well with Chateau Potatoes, grilled asparagus and a lusty red wine.
I'm 57, I think I'm slowly becoming a food anthropologist. The math that could go into a weekly dinner menu back then (at least from My Mom) was peak food/money tetris. Meals would turn into leftovers, leftovers would turn into other meals. Both of My Parents experienced the Great Depression so waste wasn't in the cards. It was generally pretty great, but I'm still a little traumatized about Thanksgiving. We'd be eating parts of that meal until next June. I have strict rules about holiday leftovers now.
When my kids were little, I found that sloppy joes were better served in a hot dog bun...Sloppy Dogs.
I still prefer hot dog buns lol
@@rochelleb973 HAHA! Oh yes...much less sloppy with little kids.
That is a really good idea. I wish I knew this when my children were younger. Thanks for sharing.
Everything you're talking about I grew up on and I still eat it😂😂😂😂😂 my wife when she gets off from work she doesn't want to go in the kitchen she wants to know even though I'm retired some home a lot and she works as a registered nurse she always call and say and all I can say is surprise surprise surprise
Yes! In a hot dog bun, you can eat the sandwich without the filling squirting out the sides of the bun. Still messy but not nearly as much as sloppy joe on a hamburger bun.
Many of these can STILL be found on my table.
Same!
Since when did salisbury steak got out of style?? the family loves when i make it
Same!! Im like lost recipes? I still cook these! I made the stuffed peppers last night!
I like how the video is like "foods of the past" when I literally make half of these dishes on a regular basis. Though I am old now (44), so maybe that's accurate. LOL
Mine as well
Stuffed peppers, beef stroganoff, Swedish meatballs, sloppy joe sandwiches, tuna noodle casserole, pot pies; you're singing my song - great memories for me from the 60s & 70s. Yummy yum yum.
@user-fv5yo5fi5c As long as I don't taste any tomatoes I'm good.
Still all standard dishes in Sweden, except for sloppy joes
@shinnam I thought they're all kabobs these days. And, I'm half Swedish.
How amazing it must have nmbeen to live in the US back then.
Same! I still make these recipies ❤️🇦🇺
I'm 59 years old and I remember all of these foods many of them that I have eaten
many times over the years or have seen many television commercials of those that
i haven't eaten before but I remember all of them and Thanks for the Memories.

Man you're old!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 I ate half this stuff last week 😂😂 I cook at home. Never enjoyed street food. And as a New Yorker that’s wild but idk I just loved cooking in general. I just had stuffed peppers.
OK you win! I loved everything in this video as a kid in the 60s! Now I'm in my mid 60s and want to eat them again! Thanks!
Literally ate Sloppy Joes last weekend. Not lost but continuing in popularity in the Midwest.
They are on the menu at least 2 times a month at my house.
I still love sloppy joes.
... and also in the Deep South, if truth be told.
Yeah and stuffed peppers, tuna casserole, beef stroganoff- I ate those growing up. And still will when I can.
It's served in my house by my Brazilian wife at least every 2-3 weeks. Sloppy Jonny's (as we call it) and some good Idaho french fries is a dang fine meal! Keep it up!!!! 💖💖
So many good foods. And I'm not even lying when I say I literally had a shepherd's pie in the oven cooking while watching this. lol
What a great look at dinners of the 1950s to the 1980s, reflecting the culinary preferences of the times!!! Lol every single time😂
My almost 30-year-old son, 8-year-old granddaughter, and I moved in to take care of my 77-year-old mother (welcome to the 21st century village 😊), and my mom and granddaughter just had sloppy Joe's.

Your son should be right in there in the kitchen with you and his daughter. Family time in the kitchen is so much fun.
Having Salisbury steak tonight!! I'm 50 years old and remember my mother used to make it... I cook it about once a month now..
I grew up with every one of these dishes! Now as a mom of two, I continue to keep most of these alive.
💝 Clam Chowder every Friday! On so many menus still today. A keeper! ❇❇❇
I still make chicken a a king, pot pies, pot roast, meatloaf, goulash, and scalloped potatoes all the time. I guess I didn't realize they had faded away into history. 😅
Ditto 😂
As a kid, all of those recipes were regular meals at my house....so lucky to have a mother that was a good cook, so many memories.
Thanks for this video. I was born in the 70’s and I remember my mom and grandmother making these dishes for dinner when growing up, My grandparents had fondue parties with their guests and those were the weekends my siblings and I weren’t allowed to come over lol.

As a little girl I didn’t like sloppy joes because I found them too messy for my hands 😂but I began loving them soon after I was allowed to use a fork and knife to keep my hands clean 😂
I'm 52. My Mom would make almost all of these meals. And I still make them today
Good job👍
I still do, so not forgotten, we love these dishes. 6:05
None of these are "lost" in my family...raised on these dishes & still cooked & eaten today. If people aren't eating these timeless recipes they are missing out.

@@N0sf3r4tuR1s3n From what I understand most "shepherd's pies" in the US are actually cottage pie.
"Changing tastes and lighter fare" sorry I didn't get the memo. I still make all of these. 😄
Chicken a la King: basically chicken pot pie without the pie crust
The wine in king chicken is what separates it from chicken pot pie. Other than that, I agree wit ya!
Clam chowder a dish of the past??? THAT'S INSANE. I eat styles of clam chowder - New England & Manhattan - more now than I ever did as a child. Born in 1956.

Ham and potatoes is still part of my life
I think you touched on most but there is one dish that still holds it’s crown and that’s spaghetti, and meat sauce or spaghetti with meatballs😇
Home made pot pies are so good
Excellent preaching. I loved it.
German Nostalgia Food from the 1960s is Toast Hawaii.

@@Starkardur I don't like onions or offal.
@@Starkardur I've honestly thought about trying it!
Liver and onions smells delicious but tastes awful my mom made it twice a month always with mashed potatoes we usually ate more potatoes than liver

What does others eating vegan have to do with your food choice?
Are you a Narcicisst or why do you argue this way?
Sloppy Joes still exist, mixes for it can be bought at grocery stores, restaurants still offer it
They just mean these dishes aren't popular anymore. Not that they don't exist
I love these sandwiches - remember them vividly from the early & mid 70s.
@pame1799 I agree, I thought it was just me!
I am close to 80. There used to be a Betty Crocker recipe that involved Campbell's chicken gumbo. I really enjoyed that when my children were small.
I couldn't imagine going out to eat and ordering chicken-a-la-king 🤣.... And Shepards pie being called "exotic" is hilarious too!
I still love most of these! damn kids and ur dubstep!!
Used to make sloppy joes off and on but the price of ground beef has went through the roof!
I still make sloppy Joes. I just had them last week, made out of manwich. 😋
Sorry, but Manwich was one of the canned versions of a basically good food that I could never learn to tolerate. I thought it was horrible!

Never stopped eating stuff peppers

Everything in this video is still served in my house ( got a good wife) and in my son's as well. Not gonna give them up for anyone. 😉

My mom made the best tuna Casserole. Even topped it off with lays chips. Delicious!!
My family loves my ham and scalloped potatoes, my hubby’s chicken pot pie, stuffed peppers made from our own peppers, etc. 😋
We also just added pork chops with sour kraut ( rinsed thoroughly) with fresh apples and a little apple sauce. Served with mashed potatoes. Make a two meal dinner! Yum!😋
If you made a Shepherd's Pie with minced beef instead of lamb it would in fact be a Cottage Pie-both delicious.
I still make a number of these. Especially stuffed peppers.
In Canada I can still purchase a can of Manwich. My grandson loves them. Sloopy Joes never goes out
Went to a private grade school in the 70's. Sounds a lot like our lunch options. It's where I first discovered and fell in love with goulash.
For the majority of these, I neither ate them then or miss them now, but, corned beef and cabbage and fondue are two of my absolute favs. Had both recently...
I made stuffed peppers a while back it was so delicious
I would definitely make it again
I still cook most of these meals......I promise all show up on the menu a couple times a year.
Most of these were standards on Mom's table, this was a tasty trip back in time!
I am glad I grew up with Cuban food in the 1960s when I when home after the agony of bland school food we ate well !!
I make my own version of Shepherd's Pie now and then. Some of the others look delicious. I love a good seafood chowder.
I heard pork chops and apple sauce immediately thought of the Brady Bunch😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Love your vids ... but hey... I just watched one of your videos saying Sloppy Joes were one the meals you did NOT want back - I love Sloppy Joes but is it something you want back or not ?
My family and most people i know, eat the vast majority of the meals often
Awesome. I love 'em all except Pot Roast.
We had scalloped potatoes for Christmas every year
I eat all of these today thank you Marie Callender😂😂
Just made (another) Pot Roast last week. Still great, still never left.
I had forgotten about our fondue parties, good times.
People still eat all these things, except maybe the lobster thermidor. I certainly do.
I make Lobster/Seafood Thermidor and/or Lobster/Seafood Newburgh all the time - Both are great dishes to show off when you bring something for Pot Luck -- ANd I make Swedish Meatballs almost every week. Pot Roast made in the Pressure cooker(not an instant pot) is a regular too. And I have bought Rotisserie chickens to make Chicken Pot Pie. And Meatloaf is still a staple today - it never went out of style. About the only thing I do not regularly make is Salisbury steak - because we never made that -we made what we called Meatloaf Mix Hamburgers instead.
I have scalloped potatoes in my pantry.yum
You mean fridge?
So do I, although I prefer to make them from scratch if I have the time.
@@CordeliaWagner1999 They make a kit which includes dried potatoes. Not bad, actually.
There was also a risqué element to the fondue party, as one of the "rules" was if a woman dropped the item she was drinking, she had to kiss all the men, vice versa for the men
😂😂😂
😅😅
the Shepherd's pie i had growing up was a layer of scrambled hamburg, a layer of canned corn (not creamed corn) and a layer of mashed potatoes.
A meatloaf sandwich with cheese sounds really good right now…
My favourite thing about making meatloaf is the cold sandwiches later on. Thinly sliced meatloaf, butter, mayo and HP Sauce. Mmmm....so good.
Still make it occasionally with ground beef, eggs, hot sausage and wrapped in bacon
@@MovieClipQueensame here! I always look forward to meatloaf sandwiches the next day ❤️💙❤️🇦🇺
Meatloaf? We have it at least four times a month.
They didn't go away as much in rural areas, as I picked up on many of them in the 1990s.
I remember Sloppy Joes from grade school it was made from tasteless ground beef and ketchup they also never even toasted or heated the buns frozen buns !! It was thought that the hot ground beef would help melt the buns never did so we ate the ground beef with ketchup and called it a day ! My Memories from school lunches in Dade Elementary school in Miami Florida 1960s & early 70s . Although we had a great Principal shout out to Misses Samson and my home room teacher Miss Bell !
I have added liver to many of my dishes 🤫 I usually mix it with ground beef or mushrooms…
* friends, neighbors and family always come to my house for my food. They don’t know some of my secrets but they know my food fills them and makes them feel good. I enjoy grinding veggies to mush and mixing them into rice and other foods too.
I still make stuffed peppers any time I have a lot of bell peppers. So yummy. Actually I make a few of these dishes from time to time.
I consider myself to be a Sloppy Jo aficionado. Nothing beats a GOOD scratch recipe, but on those occasions when you need to use a canned sauce, I personally recommend DEL GROSSO JOE JOE’S sloppy Joe sauce. I like to dress it up with chopped onion and green pepper if I have that option. I prefer using a lightly toasted Brioche bun and a couple slices of Sechler’s bread and butter pickles to top it all off. It goes well with Chateau Potatoes, grilled asparagus and a lusty red wine.
What time should we be over for dinner? 😃
I'm 57, I think I'm slowly becoming a food anthropologist. The math that could go into a weekly dinner menu back then (at least from My Mom) was peak food/money tetris. Meals would turn into leftovers, leftovers would turn into other meals. Both of My Parents experienced the Great Depression so waste wasn't in the cards.
It was generally pretty great, but I'm still a little traumatized about Thanksgiving. We'd be eating parts of that meal until next June. I have strict rules about holiday leftovers now.
I cook at least 60% of these meals for our family weekly and I'm 39. Not sure why people think they are too good for it. I love eating most of this.
