I am culinary deficient for sure as you can tell when I say CANAPE. As the youngest of 11 children, I remember so clearly so much of the past as it was alive and well as I grew up in the 70s and 80s. Good Times had by all. Enjoy
@@PaulTesta I have learned that from many many people in the comments, lol. Just never had to say it and never heard it...just ate them, lol. Thank you
Being born in the late 70s I remember so many these. I was thankfully past "loaf" time. I only remember a few cheese balls. They were not popular with my extended family but somebody friendly with the family sold the mix in stuff from like Tupperware or Avon or some grift your friends and family company like that. I remember being a hit at some elementary class Christmas party with the large Styrofoam cone tree that had cubes of cheese, cubes of ham, broccoli, cauliflower, and cut carrots and celery stuck to it with toothpicks. Served with a sour cream tub of Lipton Onion soup mix dip of course. I still hate devilled eggs to this day, but ambrosia salad is still a favorite. The "wooden" nut bowl was a must along with the test of strength to bust open a walnut with bare hands. My sister is coming for thanksgiving this year and I have purchased the black and green olives and the butter mints to make it more traditional. Though I got ride of the class serving bowls when I downsized to my apartment.
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing great memories and traditions, I love that. Sounds like you are all about these traditions...maybe not all (but who is?). Have a great Thanksgiving with your sister.
What a great video! It makes me want to break out the punch bowl, grab some orange sherbet and make a cheeseball to go with it! Such great food memories and I think I have eaten the majority of them.
Man, with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming this really takes me back to big family celebrations when I was a kid, with like 20 people, especially at my grandparents house on my mother's side. Most fortunately, my family wasn't into any crazy jello molds! Cheese balls and logs would definitely make an appearance when people came over during December.
Hey thank you so much. Happy you enjoyed it. I have fun making them. This one isn't hitting the algorithm to much, but what the hey. I like it. Thanks for the comment.
This brings me back to when holiday gatherings took place at grandma's house. We still use some of her old holiday recepies. One jello dish we still make is for Cranberry Salad, which is a mixture of whole cranberry sauce, oranges, crushed pineapple, unflavored geletin, and red Jello.
Growing up when it was just those of us living at home, my mom tended to stick to the same holiday treats! It was my first sister in law that brought something new into the mix in the late 70s when she came with her homemade Chex Mix! The real stuff and not the prepackaged kind you have today! We loved it! I actually have three fondue pots now - two electric and one Sterno! I've used them at holidays too! Don't forget the other party festoonery either - the monkey pod party picks pineapples you adorn with fruit, cheese, cherries and other things on the toothpicks stuck into the drilled out holes! Haha! Also something I enjoy bringing to events!
This is amazing. Thanks for sharing your memories. You are right, of course....about the pineapple. I love that you still share at events today. Thanks for commenting.
Teared up at the cheese ball & Ritz remembering how they were staples bc of how much my Grandma loved them...but LMAO at jello mold abomination comment... snapped me back to reality 😂 Most accurate description I've heard anywhere. Annually testing how much stronger I'd become by seeing which/ how many nuts I could crack (that I had absolutely no intention of eating) from the nut bowl before Mom caught me was always a jolly good time. Great video!!! 🎶 "Thanks for the Memories"🎶!!! Let me flash back to the happiest times of my life. I'd eat an entire table of jello molds to be able to step back there this holiday....making some of their favorites to enjoy w/ loved ones this holiday is the next best thing. Honestly wouldn't have thought to do it without this video, THANKS😊
You are so kind, thank you. Comments like yours are my favorite. That point here is to let folks remember, recall, reminisce. Sounds like your holidays were close to mine.
lol...I honestly just said it and did not even think of it properly. We had them on our table, but NEVER learned to say them. I am culinary deficient, lol
Thanks for the super funny video! Cheese logs are indeed still relevant- made a Panda Boba Cantina cheese "arm" for a Star Wars holiday party one year! Photo available ;)
OMG, that won the holidays. Thank you for that, and watching. So PLEASE drop the pic at The GEN Xperience Instagram. I have got to use that more. Thank you
miss these days never had those foods but remember the fancy adds in magazines and all that . many id never ever try nope just didnt look good at all like wow hahahaha
Such culinary memories. Mom's holiday drink was mixing egg nog with Mogen David wine. Don't know if you remember MD, to me it tasted like church wine. The combo was gross and no one in my family has carried on this tradition since Mom died.
I’ve never heard of a canned ape though I’m aware of monkeys in a barrel. . . .Seriously though- I’m a foodie so these were all painful. But I genuinely went “oooh!” hearing “Cah-napes” liking I was booing someone off X Factor. . .(My apologies to the uploader for the umpteenth comment of this type. I don’t do genuine troll comments and appreciate your good sportsmanship and willingness to learn in reading the others. 🙂)
I appreciate your attempt at humor to bring up my mispronunciation, and that you acknowledged others had pointed it out. However, not with the kinder ending like yours. I am NOT a foodie, and having never needed to say the word canape, I assumed its pronunciation, as I don't remember hearing it. When I read it I did not know it would sound any different, so yes, I was wrong. And now I know....maybe I will even make some so I can say it, lol. Thank you again for being gracious about it.
Eckrich changed the ingredients of their famous "lil smokies" cocktail weenies. Now instead of being mini-sausages, they're mini-hotdogs. They did that a couple of years ago when the really bad inflation was forcing companies to cut corners to try to keep food affordable. There's nothing special to them now that they're just small hotdogs.
Love your description... following on IG and fakebook...You have 3 Rs from our beloved SQ3R method in school. You have as Recall, Reminisce and Relive but what would you put for S and Q? See and Quote? Love your topics so far, thank-you for the memories and from one who speaks Xese because they lived it...I now return you back to the garden hose to wash down these incredible holiday delicacies...lol🤜🤛⚡️😻💖
Oh my, you have made my comments. Thank you. Appreciate the love and the IG and FB follow. I've got to be better about those for sure. Yes, why not See and Quite? Not bad at all.

CANAPE! That was darling.
Victor...
It's pronounced "CAN-uh-pay."
This was a fun video! I just wished this food tasted as good as it looked!

I missed the 70s stuff but had enough older relatives to remember some of these foods anyways. Thanks for the memories.
YOu bet. I am youngest of 11, so much of this lived long in my memory because all of the older siblings.
I love when I'm at a party and nobody's interested in the relish tray. I can eat an ungodly amount of pickles and olives.
You and me both. Pickles and Green Olives...and some Kalamata, too. YUMMY
What a great video! It makes me want to break out the punch bowl, grab some orange sherbet and make a cheeseball to go with it! Such great food memories and I think I have eaten the majority of them.
Hey there. So glad you watched. Great comment, and it absolutely is a memory maker.

You and I may had the same family. TONS of people, fantastic time, and ALMOST no jello dishes. My mother did make a KIND of aspic. ICK
Victor, this is awesome!
Hey thank you so much. Happy you enjoyed it. I have fun making them. This one isn't hitting the algorithm to much, but what the hey. I like it. Thanks for the comment.
Loved this video. It made me go and look for tinned ham at the store today and I bought some.
Nice. That's the way to do it. So much of these make me long for all the exciting surprise. Thanks for comment.

Thank you so much, and it iscawesome to know there are those keeping some of these traditional recipes alive.
Chex mix is still the best.
Delicious.
Older sister still makes a cheeseball every year . LOL
I buy one still...not sure why I don't make one.
Five-Alive!
Great memories, thanks!
Fondly remembered. Thank you
I'm no gen-xer, but these still sound good...
It would be nice to get MOST of them back on the holiday table for all generations, am I right?
I still love Deviled Eggs and Watergate Salad.
But it's a big no-go on anything Jell-O.
lol...and Deviled eggs are my jam, for sure.
Thanks for the wonderfully bizarre 70’s grub. Made me laugh a lot. Spam eh? I think I’ll make a geletin spam meat tree for Christmas
lol...and no one will touch it. Maybe it can come out next year as decor, too. Thanks for watching and the comment.

I'm inspired to do a retro holiday party now!
Did you really mean to pronounce it ca-napes instead of can-uh-pay? Because I was canapé-ing attention😆
lol...I honestly just said it and did not even think of it properly. We had them on our table, but NEVER learned to say them. I am culinary deficient, lol

If I didn’t know what it ACTUALLY referred to, I would find the video title a tad....sus! 😂😁. I love cheeseballs;need one NOW!!
It was supposed to be catchy. NOt as much as I thought, but there you go. Go have a Cheese Ball for me, too.
❤
Thanks for being out there so late to watch. I am tired, and was fading at the end, lol.
miss these days never had those foods but remember the fancy adds in magazines and all that . many id never ever try nope just didnt look good at all like wow hahahaha
The ads were just as fun...and some of the food is not welcome back.
@@GENXPERIENCE hahaha yeah yall get get on outta here hahaha oh my ah yeah

I love lil smokies, but did notice something was wrong. I thought it was how I prepared them, but I guess it was all them. DAMN

Good times with nightmare food.
LOL....right on both accounts.
Thank God I wasn’t allowed at my mom and dads’ parties!!! 🤮😂
lol. It was a sight for certain.
Ca-NAPES??!! How about ca-na-pes...
SPAM = spit + ham
Now that's a new one.
I thought it was a portmanteau of Sponge and Ham. Haha.
Ahem! Ahem. "Can-a-pays." Canapés is not pronounced like "grapes." They were a popular hors d'oeuvre which is not pronounced "horse doover."
You mean gra-pays?
Specially processed American meat. That’s what it means and it’s disgusting.
You are severely mispronouncing canape.
Severely.
