Relive the flavors of the past with us and savor the simplicity and creativity of 1970s lunches. Let’s dive in!
I grew up in the 70s ... Apparently in an alternate universe as I've heard of only a few of these.
Were definitely not covering everything! Just fun random ones that we thought people would enjoy reliving :)
I grew up in the 60's and 70's and my mom never made any of these sandwiches.
C’mon never had a fried baloney sandwich 🥪
Staple in my house growing up ❤😂😂😂
It's fascinating how food traditions can differ even within the same era. Every family has its own unique recipes and favorites. What kinds of sandwiches or meals did your mom make for you during the 60s and 70s?
Mine did
Mine did.
I was about to write the same comment. Some of these dishes are actually revolting. 😮
I grew upon fried Bologna sandwiches, sliced tomato and mayo sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches, and tomato and cucumber sandwiches! My folks grew up during the Depression, so we didn’t waste anything! If there was a handful of corn left after dinner, it went in a collage cheese carton, with a masking take label on it saying what it was and when it went in the freezer. If my mom fixed a Turkey, the carcass was picked clean of meat, then wrapped in a couple of layers of aluminum foil, and the meat and carcass both went in the freezer. A couple of times a year, usually when my dad went hunting, she would name home made soup. A big pot of water went on the stove, in went the turkey ir chicken carcass, or she would bring home a soup bone. It cooked until the flavor was pulled from the bones, creating a stock. Then she would taste it and herbs or bullion were added and she would go through the freezer, pull out all of those cottage cheese cartons, and it was all added to the pot! Then she went through the cabinets and threw in a handful of rice, macaroni, a handful of broken spaghetti noodles, whatever was there! Then tasted and added seasoning to taste! It would sometimes be two gallons when done! Some times she baked bread or rolls, sometimes corn bread! It would last us a week or more! Tasted amazing!!!
My mom grew up in a family of 13 kids and their mom. When the depression hit, their dad headed for “greener pastures”, leaving mom and the kids on the farm! The boys fished and hunted for protein, and did the heavy gardening work of plowing and felling timber for cooking and heat in the Winter! The girls did the rest of the gardening,weeding, planting and harvesting, as well as helping mom in the house! They did cleaning, sewing, yardwork, etc. when I was young, I had shirts made from old flour sacks that my mom and older sisters sewed from patterns! My dad grew up on a farm too, 5 brothers and a sister! They hunted, fished, raised poultry and animals on the farm!
Cottage not Collage Cheese Carton! 5:27
Thank you for sharing such rich and heartfelt memories! Your descriptions bring back the essence of resourcefulness and family unity. It’s wonderful to hear about the creative ways your family used every bit of food and the homemade soups that brought everyone together. The stories of your parents growing up during the Depression and making the most of what they had are truly inspiring. Those were definitely times of hard work, but also of incredible resilience and love. Your family’s legacy of making do and coming together is a beautiful reminder of the strength and creativity found in simpler times.
Thank you for this. Will look into these types of errors in the future. 🙏
i can't believe how much nostalgia foods bring
This video was so well done! I always look forward to your uploads.
I didn't have those either...we had tuna salad sandwich...egg salad, ham and cheese, bologna and cheese. Peanut butter and jelly
Those are some classic and delicious options! Tuna salad, egg salad, ham and cheese, bologna and cheese, and peanut butter and jelly are all timeless favorites. They bring back such great memories of simple, satisfying lunches. 🥪😊
This video is amazing! I can't wait to watch more since I get to reminisce so much things from the past. 💖
I grew up on these! I wish they're still around and available though.😅
Make 'em yourself!
We had bologna, tuna peanut butter and grilled cheese.
Sounds like quite the variety! Bologna, tuna, peanut butter, and grilled cheese-classic choices for a meal. Enjoy your eats!
Some things are better left forgotten.
True, some things are better left in the past. But those classic sandwiches-tuna salad, egg salad, ham and cheese, bologna and cheese, and peanut butter and jelly-will always hold a special place in our memories. Sometimes, it's the simple things that bring the most comfort. 😊🥪
I grew up in the 70s and had a lot of these. We didn't have much money so we ate lots of sandwiches and that. I make a few of the dishes and sandwiches. I would make a bologna,mayo and chips on bread. My youngest daughter loves the sliced tomatoes and mayo on toasted bread.
That's wonderful! It's great to hear that you're passing down those classic, comforting dishes to your daughter. Those simple sandwiches can bring back such fond memories.
Further proof that the narrator isn't from Massachusetts or anywhere in New England. He left out the Fluffernutter sandwich. Peanut butter and Marshmallow Fluff on white bread. Yummmm.
Absolutely, the Fluffernutter sandwich is a classic New England treat! It's definitely a local favorite and a nostalgic comfort food for many. Peanut butter and Marshmallow Fluff on white bread is a unique combination that's hard to beat. Thanks for reminding us of this delicious regional specialty!
Well, he did say "Glouchester"
He also left out American Chop Suey.
Definitely not a New England guy.
YUMMY! Let's eat!
Agreed!!
I grew up in this era, never heard of PeanutButter and bacon or pickles.
You've been missing out on some interesting flavor combos then! Time to try something new!
Me either 😝
@@VintageandClassicTV why would I want to experience PeanutButter and pickles? or pb and bacon. not going to ruin good bacon w/pb. but I will add pickles to my bacon on top of my cheese and ground sirloin
I have made quite a few of these for years. I guess I was ahead of my time. I need to find a good olive loaf.
That's awesome! You were definitely ahead of the curve. Olive loaf sounds like a delicious addition to your repertoire-hope you find a good one soon!
Went to us army schools in Germany 66 to 72, I still remember slippery joes n tater tots.
Sloppy Joes?😊
Those memories must be so nostalgic!
I am 66 years old. The only sandwich listed on in this video I had was the tuna melt. One of my favorites. I think these are lunches for pregnant women..
It sounds like you have a taste for the classics! Tuna melts are definitely a timeless favorite. What other types of sandwiches do you enjoy or remember from your younger days?
@@VintageandClassicTV I was a boring kid and my mother worked full time so it was peanut butter and apricot jelly. No bologna for me! During the summer on the weekend mom made tuna stuffed picked fresh tomato. Good memories. Oh and BLT, still my favorite.
There were only a couple I don't recall having as a youngster❣️☺️
That's awesome to hear! Which ones do you remember the most vividly from back then?
How about pb n marshmallow sandwich fluffier nutter?
Are you trying to make me hungry with that description? It's working!
Lime jell- o tuna salad! I remember someone from the Ladies American Legion would show up with something like this from time to time at a pitch in and, only the older ladies would eat it to, I also remember they to would show up with aspic or a ham loaf! Hardly anyone would touch those off the wall things they brought! My mom rarely made desserts for in the evening we had ice cream but, usually in the evening when, we all were watching tv around 7 or 8 pm mom would make us a snack usually and, one popular snack was when she’d make chocolate or peanut butter fudge, another sandwich we grew up on was the the fluffier nutter, with half slice bananas and, course mom found a recipe that called for blending the ingredients together and,make it into a spread and, we would spread it on gram crackers and, that was our favorite snack! 12:39
Thank you for sharing that nostalgic memory! It’s amazing how certain dishes can bring back such vivid recollections of family and community gatherings. Your mom’s snacks sound delightful, especially the chocolate or peanut butter fudge and the fluffernutter with bananas! Those must have been some cherished moments. 🍫🍌😊
Why in a video that is theoretically about Sandwiches from the 1970’s are most of the Sandwiches from the 1950’s and even earlier.
very nice! Get so many sandwich recipes at once
Thank you! It's fantastic to have a variety of sandwich recipes at your fingertips. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or want to try something new and creative, there's a perfect sandwich for every craving. Enjoy exploring and happy cooking!
My dad made fried bologna but in the 50’s and 60’s, not the 70’s.
That's awesome! Fried bologna is such a timeless classic. Your dad must have made some delicious versions back in the 50s and 60s!
Anyone remember smegma on rye
I was shocked to learn that deviled ham is long lost.
It's surprising how some classics like deviled ham have fallen out of favor! Those nostalgic flavors bring back such fond memories of simpler times and family gatherings. Do you have any other favorite dishes or snacks from the past that you miss?
They still sell it in Florida.
Underwood deviled ham
Lunch???? My mother wouldn't make a lunch for me if she was paid to make it.
Cold
It sounds like lunch wasn't a big part of your childhood routine! What do you remember about meals at home growing up?
I had a giggle at the narrator's pronunciation of Gloucester as Glou-chester. Anyone from Massachusetts knows it's pronounced Gloustah. ;)
❤
I lived in boston and am embarassed at this comment 😂😂😂
Egg fu yung sandwich also known as St. Paul sandwich.
Chicken salad sandwiches beanie weinies and gries to!
Certainly! That sounds like a tasty combination of chicken salad sandwiches, beanie weenies, and fries. Enjoy your meal!
I think he,s wishing these sandwiches were what he,s saying.
Spam was good!
Right? Spam can be a total game-changer! What’s your favorite way to eat it?

Tuna melts are on the menu of every diner on the planet. Lost? I don't think so. These "Lost Meals" videos are crap.
True its still around but try dennys they dont have it anymore
I grew up then and never had any of that stuff, YUCH!!! people ate that stuff? disgusting
I can understand that those foods might not be to everyone's taste. It's interesting how food preferences and traditions can vary so much. Everyone has their own favorites and childhood memories when it comes to meals!
Ill take a pass on the mashed sardine one. Ugh
I hear you on that one! Some combinations are definitely an acquired taste. What kinds of sandwiches do you prefer instead?
Oh I'm disappointed.... thought this was going to be about school lunches
Got it! School lunches can definitely bring back nostalgic memories. What were some of your favorite school lunch items back then?
They were pregnant woman craving pickles and putter!
Pickles and peanut butter? Sounds like a fancy gourmet dish only a pregnant woman could love! Who knew cravings could be so... adventurous?
nope
AI narrate "Tar-Tar Sauce" FAFO!!!!!!!
Hahahaha 🤣 burnt bologna
Burnt bologna can definitely bring back memories! Did you ever have any mishaps or funny stories involving burnt bologna or other kitchen adventures?
Tuna melt yuck 🤢
Yikessss
These are very American …. Not being American they don’t really apply.
Got it! What sort of childhood snacks or treats were popular where you grew up?
