Boomers had a point on these and I still eat all of these dishes regularly enough
But Chicken Kiev, it just feels like a food that still exists in a frozen food section and on the occasional diner frequented by elderly people, but unlike the Steak and Kidney Pie, Tomato Soup and Sandwich, Meatloaf or Egg Cream, there's nobody waxing poetic about it and you're not seeing cultural reassessments in blogs about how it's actually quite good.
Last time any culture blog was talking about Chicken Kiev it was saying that grandma diner on Long Island renamed it Chicken Kyiv 4 years ago.

Boomer here, why would I reminisce about food I can buy or make today? Not like they lost the recipe for tomato soup and grilled cheese. I cannot think of any food I'm actually nostalgic for.

Poulet Cordon Rouge:
>chicken breast, pounded flat
>compound butter - tarragon, dill, oregano, thyme, sage, rosemary, black pepper
>speck/prosciutto
>jarlsberg or similar, shredded or cut small and mixed about 50/50 with the herbed butter
>egg, flour, seasoned breadcrumbs/panko for breading

>Mash together cheese and butter
>Wrap in prosciutto
>Roll into chicken, skewer with toothpick/etc.
>dip in egg, flour, egg, breadcrumb mix
>Bake at 400-ish for 15 mins. Flip, and bake for another 15 mins.

Heart healthy meal, great on a bed of buttery smashed potatoes, a side "salad" of smoked salmon with sour cream, finely diced onion, dill and capers, with a shot of vodka spiked with horseradish and a garnished with a thin slice of cucumber, and two pints of baltic porter.

I still buy the pork flavor...it's just so sage-y and easy to shake up a bag of chops and lay them on a cookie sheet and get all the flavors in a good sage thanksgiving stuffing with crunch. Sometimes I moisten the chops in a tray of hot mustard before the coating.

Fondue was the jumping-off point for a lot of cheese-stained orgies in the 70’s. If you lost your dipping item off the fork you were supposed to kiss the person next to you. Boomers went fuck-crazy after the pill came out.

Yep, mid 60's. Been online since the early 80s and using web browsers since the mid 90s. One thing I am nostalgic for is an open internet without mindless assholes cluttering it up. The internet was a much different place when you needed to be at a university or in a tech company to have access to it. Still had flame wars and porn, but the much less boorish uneducated plebs.

Sure, people are people regardless era or education, but it was localized and was generally carried out with more wit and a better vocabulary. Also this is my memory of NNTP and dialup forums. There was a complete panic when AOL unleashed millions of "assholes online" onto the larger internet.

Yep. The sauce should be closer to barbecue than straight tomato, but I've seen people take the ketchup the other way (back toward a chutney) and have it turn out alright.

I don't think anyone ever imagined that two pounds of ground beef would cost more than a steak with fingerling potatoes and asparagus... but here we are.

>I don't think anyone ever imagined that two pounds of ground beef would cost more than a steak with fingerling potatoes and asparagus... but here we are.

Is that true? Good steaks is like 15-25 bucks at Whole Foods. I don't eat ground beef but I feel like two pounds costs less than a steak, fingerling tato, and gus dinner.

Boomer here again. Back when being online was for geeks and nerds NOTHING was moderated. NNTP in the 80s (think of it as a text and file download only version of X or 4chan) had boards like alt.pedophilia where CP was openly posted. Of course the feds finally took notice and made a bunch of high provide busts of NNTP posters and dial up boards. There was also a widespread belief that everything on the net was being monitored by NSA which led to people padding the first line of their posts with provocative keywords to fill up the NSAs inbox with useless noise.

Back to food and drink. I kind of miss the bock beer fads. Bock beer was a fairly big thing back in the 80s. There was also double and triple bock that ended up being beer syrup.

I saw celery and tomato flavored jello in some old cookbook once and I really wanted to try it.

If I'm ever seriously plugged, I'm going to try one of these:

The "Poo Driver" (Café Mutton): Combine 2 1/2 oz. prune juice, 1 1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice, 1 oz. vodka, 1 tsp. Fernet-Branca, and a pinch of kosher salt; shake with ice and strain.

>>21892643
>Because dumb boomers who bought into the white guilt narrative.

Nope. That particular brand of BS was around since the progressive era. The narrative goes like this:
- The right kind of white people are civilized, brown people and poor uneducated whites are "developing".
- It's the job of the right kind of white people to lead / drag everyone else to civilization.
- After the job is finished everyone will be the right kind of people and the world will be a utopia.
- Feral trash can always be fixed by education and the right environment, also people love to be told what to do.

This mindset was responsible for the peace corps, public housing, HUD, bussing kids to different schools and a whole list of other failed programs.

I think the thing I miss the most was the little packet of Tartar sauce mix you'd get with Van de Kamp's fish sticks when I was a kid. It had anchovy powder in it, so I guess it got too expensive to pack-in for free anymore.
Sucks, I loved the taste of it, and have never found another quite like it. Most of them are sugary as fuck, which frankly is disgusting.

What cheese is best for a grilled cheese to pair with a tomato soup? I usually put Havarti on my grilled cheese but am not sure how it pairs.

For grilled cheese and canned soup I just use American. Cooper sharp is my favorite American cheese. If I had some good bakery bread, made my own soup, etc., I'd maybe put something sharper and expensive for such an occasion.

College freshman year I found a place that was going out of business and clearing out their stock, bought 500 dollars worth of these to throw in the freezer my dad gave me and my roommates as a moving in present. For a year I had fish fingers every way I could think of, the best was roughing them up, toasting them in the oven, adding some Parmesan, garlic and herb and using that as a pasta garnish. A few months in my roommates gave up on it and I had to finish the rest on my own.

The worst is Uncle Ben, he was a real person, and the corporats erased him for no other reason than to chase a twitter trend, in hopes it might make the stock price twitch upward a bit. "Hey, we did the thing, can we be in the news, too?" Fuckin' embarrassing.

>>21901334
Wasn't he a stock image unrelated to the company in any meaningful way?
>>
>>21901337
No, he was a real guy who grew rice. The founders of the company that bore his likeness bought the guy out. He retired nicely on the money, and they continued to sell his rice using his likeness.
>>
>>21901340
He was a real guy who grew rice. The likeness is of a guy who worked in a restaurant in Chicago named Frank Brown and is unrelated to the actual Ben.

If it's rusted in place put it in reverse and gas it
I don't know how the brake is set up but if you can get to it with the tire off hit it with a sledge or maul, that works, too
...
Surprised deviled eggs aren't on this list, every boomer and up family event and potluck I've been to there's always someone who makes deviled eggs but like, exactly one per attendee, so you have to get in there before Pat and Sally find them because they'll eat half a dozen each and say shit like

You can always go to /o/ for more in-depth help they're good people
It's low-mileage, keep it running and use it to rub it in EV and hybrid owners by pointing out you're more carbon-neutral than them
That era is considered by a lot of people to be peak
>>
>>21902955
I made a thread on /o/ a while back they just told me to have it towed, can afford to until I get the check I have been waiting on. I dont see the logic in dropping 2 or 3 k on repairs for something so old the next major issue might be in a year or two.

I have the money for a new civic I guess I could run that for 10 or 15 years.

Eh, then try gunning it in reverse, that's free and if it doesn't work, you're not out a penny

It works for other things, if somebody tells you everybody lies, don't believe a word he says. If he says everybody steals, he's gonna steal your shit. If he says every politician is a crook who breaks the law, abuses his power, and destroys evidence, guess what he's gonna do if elected.

My grandma used to make these for my dad. I talked to her recently and mentioned these, she says she can't eat them anymore because the skippy peanut butter she buys has too much salt and she can't have enough for a whole sandwich.
I didn't have the heart to tell her the salt is probably the last thing she should be worried about in this shitshow of a sandwich.

Bumping to ask anybody here: I'm gonna make gumbo. Has anybody here made it? Should it be this greasy looking picrel? Yeah, I'm following the recipe of that hack Isaac Toups. But he's got the simplest recipe and the most basic ingredients, I have beer and everything except the Andouille, so I decided to use his New Orleans recipe compared to other people adding like beans and okra. Is his recipe any good?
>>
>>21905842
Oh and I forgot: posted itt cuz I thought boomers (like Toups) would be like "muh Cajun Quiz-een" for gumbo
>>
>>21905842
It should not be greasy
Toast some dry flour in a pan, add some cold water or beer, and mix it back into the gumbo

>>21905867
Going to bed over here. But that's what I wanted to mention: one minute in this video and the gumbo is greasy or has like an oily film to it. But at the very end, after Toups claims to have simmered the gumbo for three hours, it appears to be a more coherent sauce/gravy/stew. When I make my gumbo, should I expect a similar need to simmer longer for more sauce/stew consistency? I'm pretty sure I know how to make the roux. I'm a bit afraid about the clumping but the flavor profile and texture were the real problems last time I followed this recipe. And what will happen to the sausage (for example German Grob Bratwurst) if I simmer it for so long? I think I remember it becoming kind of rubbery or something...

For anybody else, the short and long of it is: is Isaac Toups' video with VICE reliable for making gumbo (link below)? Or should I just follow any other online recipe?

My mum made them all the time when I was little.

I don't know if it's an australian thing, but they were always a nice treat. You obviously get that distinct texture from the crunch of the flakes in the chewy biscuit, so they're best had right after making.

My parents are both 80 and they LOVE spring rolls.
If you suggest spring rolls for dinner, they will agree close to 100% of the time. Not just agree, they will get giddy and you can hear their mouths watering.
I don't know what it is, but boomers fucking love spring rolls.
>>
>>21906320
I thought the purpose of the thread was to post the utter crap they ate in the 50s-70s and the efforts they went to cope.

I.e. the post war but pre-80s economic weakness of post-WW2 west, after the invention of mass manufactured barely edible factory slop products/ingredients but before the subsequent health conscious movements, after the corporatisation of all media but before internet broke it back down, etc

youre retarded af. post WW2 america was KING because we were practically the only industrial nation on earth that wasnt completely ravaged by the war. so we used our industrial capacity to rebuild the west and japan, and in the process we put them into financial & military fealty to us. that era is how we became the world power we are today, and the wealth increased wages & living standards for the working & middle classes rapidly.

Check pads and brake fluid level, according to your car manual or if you can find it haynes or chilton manuals are better.
DO NOT buy modern if you can avoid it.
E brake is a cable that needs a dab of grease 2x a year. It is easy to replace often as well.
