Let’s go back to the 1950’s. That was when food REALL tasted good!!

All these foods are still available; they never went anywhere !

Still eat cucumber sandwiches. 🥒 Love them.

I love reading the comments about these items and how much people love or do not love them.Thank you for making my day everyone

Many of these are still relevant today. Not something we want back, they are still here.

People still make ham and cheese rollups or variations. They are sometimes called pinwheel sandwiches.

Also places like Sam’s Club sell these as party trays.

Deviled eggs are still served at potlucks

Cucumber sandwiches are so good 🔥

What no fried chicken who has a picnic without fried Chicken that's just un-American 👍👌😎

I love cucumber salad. Also when I was in Belize, I was served cucumber on a ham sandwich. Very good.

I think a better title would be classic 70s picnic foods I ate last week!

I wish they had a link for each of these recipes. Still love most of here in the South.

70's kid here. Never had half of these. A picnic for me was typical pb&j or bologna and cheese,fresh fruit and veggies with dip,lemonade or kool-aid, and chips.

Yep. Generation X, our parents didn't love us.

Those were the good old days 🎉

Loved cucumber salad. Cold, refreshing, creamy, and very tasty. Give me a fork and some black pepper and I can make a meal out of it! 🥲😋😛 How about ham barbecue?

I’m making some snacks now! I found what I was looking for!! Today everyone buys the picnic stuff! No homemade stuff. But TODAY IT EXPENSIVE but WORTH IT! Okay let’s eat a little Samitch 🌮😎

These things disappeared because of cell phones. We no longer gather to catch up. I have recipes for all of these and make them for any gathering.

Cucumber Sandwiches were usually cut into fingers

Mock apple pie runs into a real wall when someone asks, "Why not just use apples?"

I was literally asking myself "y not just use apples and skip the nonsense" 😂

I think that's the wrong type of cheese ball for this context.

We still make the ham and cheese rollups

Wait… For the fondue did he say “E - mental?“ instead of Emmentaler cheese? 😂😂😂😂

Coleslaw on hamburger great

"Lil Smokies" were actually a variety of cocktail sausage - NOT another name for them. The Lil Smokies were a heavily-smoked & nitrated sausage. Our family had them every year at Christmas when we were kids & teens. We'd all eat a ton of them as they were super tasty. But most of us didn't feel all that well the following day [those nitrite chemicals do a number on ya]. These days we all prefer UNCURED sausages. No nitrite hangovers any more. 😉😉😉🌭🌭🌭

I buy them at Christmas time. I make a batch of dough and divide it so each sausage is covered except for one end then bake them. It’s a copycat of the discontinued Sister Schubert sausage rolls.

Thanks for all that, but YUCK on the pea salad.

If you "want it back" just make it. This food hasn't gone anywhere. But you can keep all that stuff that has cucumbers, can't stand that watery, tasteless, "vegetable".

Cucumbers are OK if you turn them into pickles.

Had to comment. Your post is spot on. I CAN’T STAND cucumber. Don’t want any cucumber anywhere NEAR my other salad veggies. I don’t want to see it, or smell it. Hahaha. (I do like pickles, the sweet kind). Better to not focus on what they are made from 🙄

"ever popular ham and cheese rollups" ... never heard to them before seeing this. LOL!

I was born in 1954 and the 70s was my eara of licniks galore. Never saw a ham and cheese roll up at a picnic. Never saw a cucumber sandwich. Ritz Mock aople pue was a one time try but never saw one at a picnic. It wasn't popular. Cocktail weiners or baby sausages are still popular at picnics. Waldorf salad isnt gone from pot luck picnics yet. I still see stuffed celery dtick to this day. Usually with soft processed cheddar like Velveeta. Never used cream cheese for stuffing celery. Are you kidding? What makes you think Deviled eggs are missing from today's picnics? I go to them 2 to three times a year and they are always there to eat! This cideo is pointless. Never heard of oea salad until 2000.

Thumbs down for click bate. ALL of these foods are served to this day.

Most of this has little to do with the 70s. Still cool though.

Cocktail wieners … gaaaaah! 😅😅 That DuPont by way of General Foods by way of the FDA - food and dye number 40 Red still makes me cringe…

Watergate salad isn’t a mystery, it’s not named after the government scandal, but the Watergate Hotel silly goose 🪿 I’m REALLY disappointed that you use clips from several KZread channels without tagging them, or crediting them like Food Wishes, Paula Deen, and others I recognized like Emeril. That’s the LEAST one KZreadr can do for another. Just putting their channel name on the clip would have been so classy, but you willingly skipped it.
