Schubalts posted:This never happened. Seconding that people still use gelatin for non-dessert atrocities, particularly aspic. Most of the biggest food sins were committed in the 1950s through 1970s, though. The 1980s chased away the wartime rationing and brought a time of excess where people didn't need to stretch their food by suspending it inside a cube of jiggle.

Sakurazuka posted:An avocado, radish and salt sandwich sounds pretty loving awful yeah I mean, I suppose it's marginally better than an unseasoned rice cake. Mostly because it doesn't have the texture of packing material. Seriously though that sandwich needs some flavor in it. At least throw in some vinagrette or cheese or something.

Antivehicular posted:The impression I've always gotten is that these gelatin mold things were way more prevalent in cookbooks of the period than at anyone's table, save for the fairly tame Midwestern fruit-and-marshmallow stuff. Is there evidence that a lot of people in the midcentury were actually eating this crap? From what I've heard from the parents, it was mostly poo poo you'd make for parties, either to tell the host that you hate them or to tell your guests that you hate them. Two out of three of those at the bottom are true, at most.

rodbeard posted:If we're still on drinks the worst cocktail I ever had is definitely the bullshot. It's cold canned beef broth and vodka. It was apparently popular in the sixties because people considered it healthy for some reason. Turns out beef broth isn't too dissimilar from those "activated protein enzyme" protein shots, just with more poo poo like salt thrown in. So basically you were having the 1960s equivalent of a protein powder screwdriver. Honestly, it sounds like it would taste like someone vomming last night's beef jerky into your mouth. Thread content, found when trying to see if protein powder screwdrivers were actually a thing that existed: You know, when I was searching for "vodka beef", I did not think about what you would do with your meat after too much booze.

Grassy Knowles posted:"They said SALAD. DRESSING. MAYONNAISE!" comes angrily out of their dining partner. It's not that they wanted mayonnaise for their plates of grease and carbs, it's that they assumed that everyone would know that 'salad dressing' meant mayonnaise and I was a fool for suggesting otherwise. I blame Kraft foods; Miracle Whip (aka that imitation mayonnaise poo poo) explicitly has the words "Salad Dressing" on the bottle. Still, using that to refer to mayo and mayo-like products is strictly a Southern thing, as far as I know.

It also comes in plastic rectangle forms at the deli, where they can slice off the plastic squares for you. Or you can just buy it in bulk and, apparently, shred it on your microplane. I regret not taking my phone with me to the local Waffle House. The only thing more depressing than a plate of hashbrowns with a single, sad kraft single melted atop it is the fact that I got it from a place that made me pay money for it.

Scientastic posted:It definitely is. There's a certain type of cake you only really get in America, made with incredibly light sponge that is basically cooked air, covered in an ungodly amount of "cream", which is a strange white substance consisting, again, mostly of air. Maybe it's not an official protected designation, but it's a very distinct confection that you don't get in quite the same form in other countries. People outside of America don't ruin their bodies with a million Twinkies?

Also, seeing repeat mentions of prepackaged cake mix and "way too much frosting" makes me painfully aware that the standard buttertroll response to premade icing is "I got this container of frosting, it must be meant for one single cake! " and then they slather on an entire 16oz can of frosting on a 5"x8" cake and get diabetes. Really, though, the big time to start running is if you start associating any American food at all with brand names. Kraft Dinner and Kraft Singles are abominations unto all that is edible. Wonder Bread is basically the most chemically overloaded, flavor-eradicated non-food you can put meat on. Etc, etc. KataraniSword has a new favorite as of 08:11 on Oct 26, 2017 |

Ultimate Mango posted:Mayo corollary: Japanese Mayo isn’t mayo and is cool and good. Yeah, Japanese mayonnaise is closer to aioli than it is to the stuff you'd buy in an American Kroger. It's still got roughly the same texture (which is what makes mayo offputting for some people, like me) but it's a lot more flavorful. American mayonnaise is a bland, flavorless travesty and Miracle Whip is that but with even less of everything decent, somehow.
