I thought there was also the mentality that you could mimic old french aspics and such with it, despite the food not having existed in forever.

Not sure what long John soda is but, probably those float looking things near the seltzer water.
>Vagabond Shortcake
That's a strawberry shortcake overthere and looks awesome.
>Garden-Fresh Pickles
Looks like they've got two different kinds of pickles, cool.
>Spamaroni Pi-
Spam terrifies me, but it's probably that noodle, potato salad, with meat bits in the middle. Perfectly fine.
>Cheese Dip
Canned?
>Cheese Beanies
Don't know, not worst thing ever.
>Milk
Okay.
>Salad
Okay.
>Hot dogs
Okay.

This one doesn't look smack a woman too bad.

An era of prosperity, convenience, and wonder. Then they bled the country dry and fucked over younger generations, and continue to do so.

There's nothing like that doddering relative that has a brilliant mind insisting he doesn't WANT to learn how to cook while he bitches about how microwave meals aren't as good as they used to be. For fuck sakes man you worked on satellites and you won't work a stove?

Canned fruit, whipped cream, often jello and nuts.

Goddamned boomers. They wouldn't eat anything they couldn't plop into a bowl from a can or box and eat as is, bake, or refrigerate. If you have a drunken housewife and canned goods, this is not what you do with either

I thought that was so they could dump spam and canned shrimp into jello and let it set while they get sauced and vacuum.

About 62% of Americans in general have UK ancestry. There's a ton of French, German, Polish, and Scandinavian ancestry about. Oh and the Italians and the heritage they ruined.

The biggest issues were The Great Depression, WW2, and Lazy Housewives being supported by Housekeeping Magazines and Big Business. Soldiers coming home from war and drinking coffee made from latrine water and coal ash were more interested in banging their women than the fact that real food had been replaced by wieners in jello.

Yeah. Apparently for a while Satan ate, worked, drank, bathed, and slept in our kitchens.

Why is mid-century American cuisine so shameful? When did American food actually get good?
