Can verify, as a kid in the 80s, pasta salad was everywhere. You couldn't escape it.
Unpopular opinion : I hate green bean casserole! Probably because I loathe cooked green beans and can’t eat mushrooms (severely allergic). I’ve made the ice cream bombe, but it’s awfully fiddly; I prefer making baked Alaska.
0:07 is that a picture of sancocho de cola?
"In the 2020's WW3 put a damper on cuisine experimentation, so most people started concocting ramen noodle dishes."
Celery Jello sounds great actually.
07:04 The BirdsEye Kid in the middle reincarnated as Japan's beloved Peko Chan for Milky Candy. https://youtu.be/NWx-6SP_bsM✌️😄
All the potato dishes look great! Fried or baked, yum. We ate a lot of fondue when I was in college. Mexican food has always been big here in California,
Thanks for this! 🥑 #WeirdHistoryFood #FoodHistory #PopularFood
I’m surprised that no mention was made of Italian and Japanese cuisine eventually becoming popular throughout the US.
❤
That woman was skinning an avocado like a potato. Blasphemy.
Don't forget In 2023 if you make Mexican food and you're not Mexican, its cultural appropriation!😅😂😢
Your constant digs at "The Wealthy" are tedious in the extreme. Anybody that could "get around" rationing in WWII, did so as much as possible. Almost anybody that can get something for themselves, keeps it for themselves, and doesn't just give it away! It's called hu,an nature. "The Wealthy" is not a race of evil people. It's any f**** person that can get something and hold on to it, protecting it from the millions of others who'd love to grab it & keep it for themselves! Your divisive attitude is shameless pandering to ignorant prejudice.
Did you know that: "the top 1 percent of taxpayers accounted for more income taxes paid than the bottom 90 percent combined." And that the wealthiest half of Americans pay 97.7% of all federal taxes? Maybe you should do an episode on how the wealthy pay for the running of our entire country, and just what the hell is the government really do with all that money.
Oh yeah. Imbezzling. Giving it to terrorist organizations & funding wars we have no part in.

The fusion cuisine trend of the 2010's would be great if it weren't for all those complaints about cultural appropriation . 🙄But thanks to YouTube, we now have actual demonstrations of making something pretty close to the real original.
Most of those food trends from the 60s onwards have been mirrored in the UK ,fondue was huge in the 70s and molecular gastronomy had a brief hay day about 15 yrs ago .Personally I consider the pre 60s dishes (for the most part ) to be real food that has stood the test of time .Who doesn't love roast beef after all ? Some of the later fads are glorious too ,a good cheese cake is still one of my favorite things .
The 1950s really was the worst decade for food, wasn’t it? It’s like we discovered laziness and turned it into a twisted art form.
Having visited TJ Mexico two months ago… Cesar's Places is still worth going to.
Best salad Ive ever tasted and the escargot was devine!
I remember from the 70's until now. I have learned food trends are a crime against foodies. It takes something good, and then twists it into something bad, like a great car that is then given super large rims and hydraulics. Great food sticks around decade after decade, and becomes part of the locale or the entire country, like the cheese steak, beignets, or regional BBQ.
Both of the 1920s dishes are some of my faves in 2023😂😂😂
I would love to know what kind of food was popular in France through the ages.
Thank you Mr. Narrator for being on this channel too.
Tapas in Spain has nothing to do with Tex-mex. Also, molecular gastronomy was made famous because Spain's restaurant El Bulli.
Fondue was pretty big here in Italy too; we also had vodka penne (why? WHY? 😨) in the 80s.
Now we have things like fish carbonara and nduja + burrata pasta, which are seemingly everywhere and aren't even that bad
it's Caesar Salad, not Julius Salad
I don't think I could pick a favorite decade. I eat pasta salad, avocados, and Tex-Mex all the time. And every dessert sounds good except maybe celery Jell-O.
I've never tried molecular gastronomy. It almost sounds like something you would have expected from a retro future based on the sci-fi of the 50s and 60s.
Wahoooie, the awesome narrator!!! Such a fun video, thank you so much!
I'm goin back to the 70s….where they fried food in lard, and was so much better. Non saturated , non smaturated … feh
That's not why TV dinners were a thing. (Halfway mark, give or take. Can't be assed to find the timestamp)
Great video, but inaccurate in several spots.
NAH-khem-sen, not "Naxon" FYI
I wouldn’t go so far to say molecular gastronomy and kale were a “food lovers” trend. 😉
How do you castrate something with a cloaca?
Oh chicken pudding…you could do a really good savory custard I bet.
A+ video!
Incredible Odyssey of Food History!
More proof that we peaked in the 90s!! 😂
To suggest that Caesar's Place hosted Donkey Shows is just stone cold RACIEST. I am stunned. You need to take this down.
I think it would be interesting to go back to the 1920s to eat their meals.
For me in the 80’s it was Triscuit Pizzas and Taco Salads. I must have slept through the 90’s to present because I don’t remember any of that being popular.
@13:04 Both Molly Ringwald and Anna Faris did Avocados from Mexico commericals that showed during the Super Bowl!
