    Jello "salads" or molds were/are huge in the Midwest. Tuna in a jello mold usually isn't made with sweetened jello it is made with unsweetened gelatin. However, it is something found in a lot of cookbooks from the 70's. I have so many of my grandmother's cookbooks from the 50-80's and the 70's have a ton of savory gelatin based recipes 🤢🤮

    Just after WWII in the midwest, my grandfather worked in a meat plant and saw how balogna (baloney) was made. After seeing what was put into it, he banned it from his home. My mom said he told them it was too disgusting to repeat. Naturally, my mother banned it from our diet as well, and I banned it from my own home. Seeing the video of the olive loaf being made turned my stomach. It made me remember what kids at school used to say about "baloney" when I was growing up: It's made from lips and a$$holes.

    Ot many now remember that many, many rural areas still did not have electricity until after the war. Electrification didn't reach the whole country until the late Fifties. Well, among Midwestern farm women, jello was a status symbol, it meant you had a refrigerator and the electricity to run it. So, if you had a fridge, you brought a jello salad to every church supper.

    Hello, I enjoyed the video. I remember some of the recipes. Trader Joe’s put out a tamale pie recipe some years ago using their corn bread mix. I still make it tamale pie, but usually make the corn bread topping from scratch. I can’t recall any 1970’s lunches that you haven’t already shown. But here’s an appetizer I made as a teenager for my brothers’s going away party. It would have been around 1974 and I think the recipe came on a Danola ham package. You cut the crust off a slice of white bread and then flattened it with a rolling pin if I recall correctly. Next you spread mayonnaise on each slice before placing a slice of Danola brand ham on it. Then you placed one canned asparagus spear at one end of the bread and rolled it up. Last you stuck a colorful toothpick😅 in the roll to hold it all together. Everyone enjoyed the rolls and we made them for several more occasions 😊😊 They were pretty tasty!

    My brother loved peanut butter, Pickle Sandwiches with peanut butter, mayonnaise sandwiches with peanut butter, and sour cream and jelly sandwiches. I love rice pudding. I am making Chile cheese dogs tonight. I ate my share of Tuna, chicken, and turkey salad sandwiches. Fried Baloni and cheese sandwiches were the best. Ate a lot of turkey sandwiches after Thanksgiving. I still eat Chile Mac today. Mac and Cheese loaf with SPAM.

    I have eaten many of these sandwiches in different varying forms. I still eat some of them to this day especially tuna melt and turkey stuffing and cranberry sandwiches.

    Hey, that's Chef Jean-Pierre diving into that tuna sandwich in the very beginning. Some of these sound pretty good but I would use whole grain bread whenever its strong, nutty flavor won't interfere with the other sandwich components. I still eat wheat toast with peanut butter and chopped cooked turkey bacon for breakfast with coffee. Rice pudding is a breakfast option, especially brown rice, in a slow cooker overnight.

    We made bologna sandwiches for lunch every week growing up. Getting the perfect burn took practice, lol. Built them like a BLT…delicious!!!

    The only things I recognize from the 50's was Spam, olive loaf, bologna, and Napoli burgers at a drive in. We only got fruit at Christmas or sliced apples when Wizard of Oz played on TV just before Thanksgiving. The rest must have been from other regions of the US. I still love fried Spam.

    Grilled cheese sandwich and chicken noodle soup. My family (not me) liked peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I would just eat a peanut butter sandwich with a banana on the side.
