BikeBookBread Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 A salad I haven't had in years...but why? They were good. Iceberg lettuce (either cut in wedges [really retro] or broken into leaves. Sliced cucumbers. Cherry Tomatoes, or sliced Tomatoes. Bob's Big Boy Roquefort [best] or Blue Cheese Dressing. Served on [and this is the IMPORTANT PART] frozen dinner plates. These must be in the freezer for hours prior to serving. Tossing the salad in a frozen stain-less steel bowl is a nice touch too. Add fresh ground pepper at serving. And a martini [gin, like I should have to say it :tongue_smilie:] couldn't hurt. Two olives please :D That actually sounds REALLY good...I can't remember the last time I had iceberg. I LOVE blue cheese dressing. I've been making it homemade lately. SO SO SO good.

I was an only child, and really, really compliant, so my parents took me out to nice, nice restaurants growing up. I remember this one place downtown Seattle that always had cold forks. They must have been real sterling, too. And the bathroom had buttons on the floor that you pushed with your toe to turn on the sink water, which came out of swan's mouths! :lol: It was the best bathroom in. the. world.

Mothersweets Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Ya'll are crackin me up! How's this for weird? I LOVED Spaghettios! My mother would make wonderful real Mexican food (enchiladas and the thingy where the whole chile is stuffed with cheese and then deep fried-the name is escaping me right now). Spoiled brat that I was, I didn't like it. So....I got to have Spaghettios. yum. What was I thinking? I actually went out and bought a can of spaghettios a few years back, took it home, heated it up, and bleeeccchh! Couldn't stand it. At least I have finally come to my senses. We also ate the TV dinners - loved the dessert, vienna sausages, Hamburger Helper, pizza in a box (it was Chef Boyardee -they still make it) and yes, I remember having Spy Car's salad. That actually sounds good to me now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to fly frequently between LA and Monterey, CA and at the little airport in Monterey (which is like a bus terminal compared to LAX) there is a bar restaurant that served this salad still, although they did include some mixed baby greens, beet greens, and beet-root, and when the place was late due to fog (common) I'd enjoy a salad in the sky-bar.

elizabeth Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Wow ,no mention of the Kraft peanut butter product called Koogle ?? Yes banana flavored peanut butter , chocolate and someother flavor that escapes my memory now. Truly disgusting. I also remember eating kids frozen dinners with the pudding that was to be removed prior to heating in the oven. My father saw no point to doing any of that nonsense so we ate pudding that was hot I mean really baked at 400 degrees hot . Gag. My parents forays into ethnic and gourmet food were actually far,far worse than anything that could be bought in the grocery. Seriously there was some bad gastronomy afoot back in the day. I recall some horrid raisin sauce over pheasant that truly was frightening to behold. I do recall a particular thing that I wanted desperately and my mother refused to buy, it was a foul thing called Mug -o -Lunch. She thought it looked like garbage in a cup and would smell even worse. I loved my friend's mom becasue she knew what good food was...pizza rolls by Jeno's , boxed Mac and cheese, and the holy of holies for all children ,TWINKIES. I still eat them and must say they are perfect frozen and chopped over pecan ice cream. Raspberry zingers run a close second. FWIW the scariest food of the 70's had to be all the scary crap that passed for "diet food." Ak mak crackers my foot!! They still sell those evil cardboardy things. I would sooner use it as a shim for a table leg than put it in my mouth. The cereal , oh my, Kaboom or Quisp were pretty good but the Boo Berry was the best. Blue milk at 7 am with like 30 tsps of sugar to boot those were the days, what could possibly be better?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaxMom Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Watergate Salad! I love watergate "salad" (for those that don't know, it's that green pistachio pudding with cottage cheese, marshmallows, and crushed pineapples). http://images.google.com/images?q=Watergate+Salad&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=nw7pSouxGpHV8Abnq9yEDw&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CCEQsAQwAw http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Watergate-Salad/Detail.aspx I LOVE Watergate salad! I'm not sure if I ever had it in the 70s, but I have been known to get some at the deli more recently. :D A salad I haven't had in years...but why? They were good. Iceberg lettuce (either cut in wedges [really retro] or broken into leaves. Sliced cucumbers. Cherry Tomatoes, or sliced Tomatoes. Bob's Big Boy Roquefort [best] or Blue Cheese Dressing. Served on [and this is the IMPORTANT PART] frozen dinner plates. These must be in the freezer for hours prior to serving. Tossing the salad in a frozen stain-less steel bowl is a nice touch too. Add fresh ground pepper at serving. And a martini [gin, like I should have to say it :tongue_smilie:] couldn't hurt. Two olives please :D You can still get that. At Ruth's Chris, Mortons, your standard, jacket-required steakhouses. I'm sure they've "upscaled" it but it's still a hunk of iceburg. We had Swiss steak, stuffed cabbage / peppers, chicken a la king (no pouch)... actually, aside from the Swiss steak, which I just don't care for, I still make the stuff my mother made when I was a kid. Well, except canned vegetables. And the wonderful Green Giant brussels sprouts in butter sauce that I would eat at every.single.meal if they'd let me. My kids don't care for brussels sprouts. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConnieB Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Pop Rocks and those Lick-a-Sticks...you know the ones with the candy stick that you would lick and then dip into a koolaid like powder. Pop Rocks are still around.....my kids hate them, lol.....but I haven't seen those lick sticks in many years. Bubble Yum gum especially in watermelon flavor. Candy necklaces. Space Food Sticks "just like the astronauts eat" (blech) The ultimate party food that I remember mom serving was the cheese from the squirt bottle....it came with different decorating tips (like frosting does now). Always on Triscuits. I think it was called Squeeze Cheese but is now called Easy Cheese and you can still buy it...but other than a 1970's party, why would you? Salad bars were BIG.....not just in restaurants, but in grocery stores too, you could make up a salad with everything they had and you paid by the weight. I lived on those in college (late 70s). Definitely remember Swansons frozen chicken pot pies....ate those darn near daily too...and now everytime I see them in the frozen aisle at the grocery I want to run far and fast, lol. Actually lots of frozen TV dinners....I know they're still around now too, but I don't eat them now, but had a freezer full of them back in the 70s and 80s. Seriously, I can remember when the only things in the freezer were stacks of TV dinners and a bag of ice...and life was good. Hamburger Helper. Kraft Mac and Cheese. Jello with Cool Whip layers, and/or canned fruit in it. Gee, looking at this list I am starting to understand why my body looks like it does, lol. Eating habits established in high school/college and never quite got over for 35 years afterwards. Thank heavens I finally started making changes, lost weight and now feel confident that my children aren't doomed to follow in my footsteps. And I know you didn't ask about clothing, but I vividly remember the satin phase....I have photos of me in satin pants and a satin jacket looking oh so stylish. And my kids literally roll on the floor laughing when looking at them. Edited October 29, 2009 by ConnieB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Must weigh in with a completely different view of the late '70's when I was an undergraduate. My college friends and I swore by books like Diet for a Small Planet. We baked whole grain breads and ate beans and rice. Yeah, we were poor--but we were also reacting to our Tang filled childhoods, I suppose. The Moosewood Cooperative published the first Moosewood cookbook in the late '70's, so I know that we were not alone in pursuing a dramatically different diet than the meat/potato/veg thing that many of us had grown up on. Having said that, I will add that family dinners of the time always concluded with some sort of dessert containing Cool Whip. What was that all about? I remember that my sister (who married in the '70's) had to make regularly some sort of green pistachio pudding/lady finger/Cool Whip thing.

KarenNC Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Right now, Target at least has Count Chocula and Frankenberry cereals, don't remember whether I saw Booberry, for Halloween. Swanson tv dinners watergate salad frozen fish sticks with baked frozen french fries and canned green beans (every Tuesday because my mom had a meeting and it was something my dad could take out of the oven/off the stove after she left) ambrosia at Christmas (a sort of fruit salad with coconut) vienna sausage (pronounced "vy-eena");) fried livermush (sliced thin, dredged in flour and fried to crispy) sandwiches with mayo on white bread toast tomato sandwiches from the garden with Duke's mayo, salt and pepper on white bread Underwood deviled ham spread ham and cheese loaf on white bread with mayo sandwiches (this was a big treat, usually only for bag lunches for field trips) campbells soup and american cheese sandwiches (almost every day for lunch in the summer) molded jello salads ("congealed salad"---appetizing, right?) with cottage cheese in them smores Jiffypop popcorn served in the foil thing popcorn balls at Halloween from my great aunt going to the city 20 miles away for something and getting to eat real ethnic exotic food----at Taco Bell.;) GrapeNuts cereal once in a while poke cake (white boxed mix cake done in a 9x13 pan, poke holes in it after it's been baked and pour over different colors of warm jello, then chill) porcupine meatballs (meatballs rolled in rice) swedish meatballs country-style steak with mashed potatoes and canned green beans flower pot bread was late in the 70s IIRC (bread baked in a clean clay flower pot) peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate that had been mixed with melted paraffin wax for Christmas Martha Washington candy (mashed potato mixed with confectioner's sugar to make a dough, rolled out, spread with peanut butter and rolled up like a jelly roll, then sliced) Something my mom always took to potlucks----potato salad mounded up like a volcano, then take hotdogs, split them lengthwise and fry them, lay them vertically equally spaced around the sides of the volcano fried side out, and in between the hotdogs place a few slices of olives stuffed with pimentoes. The other things that stick out in my mind from church potlucks were the watergate salad and chicken tetrazzini. She also used to make a special "salad"--place half a canned pear flat side up on a piece of lettuce, fill the depression with Duke's mayonnaise, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. A big treat for us, don't know if she made it up, was to take saltine crackers, top them with either a piece of cheddar or some peanut butter, stick a large marshmallow on each cracker and broil it in the toaster oven. My husband talks about having something he remembers as being called Pat Nixon's Surprise Casserole (basically tuna casserole topped with crushed potato chips). To this day he is very suspicious of any casserole topped with any kind of crumbs:).
