This one was tasty enough, but yeah, just ground beef (probably) in a pie crust. I would totally eat your tourtiere; does this recipe look right? https://www.ricardocuisine.com/en/recipes/3301-juliette--s-lac-saint-jean-tourtiere-meat-pie-
That's a serious loving pie. 2.5kg of meat, 2.5kg of potato, and you bake it for up to six hours.

I’m sure that’s supposed to be a single cherry and flaked coconut, but my mind keeps going to ‘single cherry tomato and handful of shredded cheese’.

Considering how bland and unappealing those surviving Kellogg cereals are, I am curious how terrible Pep and Corn Soya were that they no longer exist.

Looking it up, honestly it just seems to be a box of laxatives. As in it was literally advertised to have strong laxative qualities, and that it would "get you up and moving".

Pep was literally just wheat flakes that were enriched with vitamins like most cereals are today. I listened to a how stuff works podcast about it. Apparently "Pep" and "Enriched" were just catchy words for selling foods like we have today with "Real" or "Natural" poo poo like that. Just a food trend. Old time brand food was sad.

All those old-timey ads are full of words like "nourishing" and "vitality", presumably because Americans were so loving scrawny the biggest things you had to worry about were whether you could get enough calories in you to drag your rear end out of bed the next morning.

Also bowel regularity is such an overriding concern that I can only picture it being the main thing people would talk to each other about over beers or in the break roomalley behind the sweatshop

Considering that malnourishment was endemic to rural America - maybe not always calorie-wise but definitely nutrient-wise - and a significant portion of the buying public was either farmers profiting enough from the green revolution to suddenly have regular access to processed goods, or ex-farmers newly urbanized, 'enriched' and 'nourishing' and 'vitality' made sense as keywords at the time.

The reason they were so obsessed with bowel regularity was Kellogg's (and others') theories that constipation led to masturbation. Seriously.

The British populace actually came out of rationing healthier. The entire country was forced onto a nutritious (albeit boring) diet supplied by the government for the duration of the war and about 10 years afterward, which ensured that everyone got all their vitamins. Infant mortality went down, life expectancy went up.

I watched a show where they lived on different time period diets for a week and this was great. They rationed sugar, meat and fats to such an extent that basically everybody made "victory gardens" and ate the poo poo out of veggies because otherwise they'd starve. It was pretty neat.

Oh and the entire episode on 70's food was just anti-food porn. If you can, check out "The Supersizers".
