I’ve noticed that American recipes often have ingredients like “1 packet (brand name) (foodstuff)”. I wonder if this kind of advert is how it started.
Lots of American food companies use recipes on the box to give the buyer an idea of what to make. This was a part of American food packaging going back to the Depression; learning to work with what we had was the lesson of the period. It was a time of searching for what was cheap and learning how to make it palatable.
Also quite a few packages include recipes.
- my family recipe for pecan pie has always been from the bottle of Karo Syrup
- green stuff I made for New Years was originally from a package of Jello brand Pistachio instant pudding
- family pumpkin pie recipe was from a can of pumpkin
TFW grandma finally hands down her secret recipe book and they’re all clipped from boxes of supermarket food items and adverts in Good Housekeeping.
That happens all the time too. I’ve heard people more than once tell me they found out that their traditional family recipe for whatever came from the back of a box of Bisquick.
I’m stuck trying to figure out if it’s like creamy mushroom soup or they boiled the liquid out of the mushroom soup and made a mushroom soup flavoured hunk of…mushroom soup remains?
Like a thick chunky, overly strong flavoured, very american sounding hunk of processed flavours.
Use more of (brand name’s) stuff to sell more. That’s all there was to it. No idea why on Earth some of these were so horrendous, though.
Pretty sure that’s exactly how that started. Much easier to sell more of your industrially made foodstuff if you give people some ideas about what to do with it.
I fear soup over waffles is a poor example of that but I understand.
I would like to try it, depending on “mushroom soup” it might be great or disgusting, everything else is ok.
When all the flavor buds were covered by cigarette tar
Is this what they are referring to when they say they want to “make America great again”?
That’s not a recipe, that is bio-terrorism.
It’s honestly not that far from a tuna melt if you think about it.
I can’t remember what the movie was, but there is a scene where someone eats a tuna melt at a diner. Shortly after they go to the toilet to throw up. I can’t eat tuna melt since that day.
If you want to watch a fabulously flamboyant gay man cook disgusting vintage recipes check out “Eye Spy Antiques” on YT.
A lot of fun.
Looked it up. That dude looks like he really enjoys making videos.
Absolutely. I’m having fun watching because he is clearly having fun creating.
It’s pretty contagious.
Lol you weren’t joking. This dude is cracking himself up.https://youtu.be/3eNDNCe4rRw
I was assuming you were talking about B Dylan Hollis until you got to the name of the channel.
Worth checking out?
Holy shit, thank you for pointing out this dudes channel, he is fucking hilarious. I was hoping someone would cook these shitty recipes and try them out.
Edit: “gonna taste like shit, but it’s stunning” ROFL
This dude is great
Why? Why does every old weird recipe from the 1950s and 1960s include olives?
It’s just the Great Value version of fried chicken and waffles.
It might be potato waffles
There’s worse…
I really hate that so many memories of my one grandmother were being traumatized by these jello atrocities.
Amateur night compared to creamed corn bologna boats.
What a terrible day to have eyes
Wait till you hear about chicken and waffles! How ridiculous! /s (or is it? 🤔)
Nah, chicken and waffles is pretty good actually. I mean, people also eat them with bacon and eggs. I just wouldn’t want anything fishy to come near my waffles, IDK why, but it just feels wrong.
I agree chicken and waffles is good, but I also would try tuna and mushroom soup waffles not gonna lie.
I’ve been watching “Sandwiches of History” on YT lately and I believe sometime in the 1980s people realized food could taste good
Doesn’t sound bad tbh…i like savory waffles. Don’t sugar the dough (no idea if thats a thing, just guessing) and you are good to go
