I remember receiving a letter from my Grandmother in the 1980's when I was a newlywed and at the end she wrote "P.S. Don't forget to make deviled eggs. All men love deviled eggs." It made me laugh and I think of her ever time I see a deviled egg. I make them a lot when we grill burgers or ribs, and yes, my husband loves them. 💕

Small correction on the deviled eggs: Dijon mustard basically didn't exist in the US-outside a Euro-import specialty shop or two-until the 1980s, when Grey Pupon showed up. Before that, we had was yellow mustard and spicy, German-style mustard (Guldens). I remember discovering Dijon mustard in the late 1970s in France, then looking everywhere for it when I returned to New York. It was several years before I could find it here.

We still make deviled eggs, stuffed mushrooms, jello salads, swedish meatballs and other receipes from the 60's 70's..what great fun we had back then...everyone was dressed so nice in their cocktail outfits!!! Thank you mom and dad for such great experiences...RIP!!

We resurrected deviled eggs over 20 years ago. My wife makes them so good, my Mom would be proud. We've gotten the recipe tweaked so that our friends beg for more. Always a hit at a party.

[@lovehandr]

my Mom made Baked Alaska, bricked ice cream in layers, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry or cherry, wrapped with sliced jelly roll and then covered with meringue which was put in the oven just long enough to slightly brown the meringue. It was yummy for us kids. I even made it a few times. Great memories!

[@sandyhossman7771]

My mom made a yule log at Christmas, I don't think she made baked Alaska but she use to make lobster Thermador. My mom and her 2 cousins use to try and outdo each other with new fancy recipes. I have my mom's recipe file that has many of these ❤

My grandmother had a thing for Sausea brand shrimp cocktail! It was shrimp cocktail- most cocktail sauce- served in a little glass jar/ glass with a lid. Our juice glasses were all courtesy of Sausea and Grandma's indulgence. Ummm...no hummus in the 1950s, at least not at the grocery store. And you missed the queen of finger sandwiches, the sandwich loaf.

ditto but occasionally I will eat regular jello. Believe it or not - maybe you have heard of the kid party game for older kids like 8, 9 etc. It is called the mummy's crypt or you can make it the witch's coffin. The kids are blindfolded and items from the tomb are passed around, eg. a drumstick, chicken bone is the mummy's arm. Peeled grapes were the eyeballs. Jello was always passed in a big gob as the mummy's brain. More stuff was also passed. It was fun with everybody going eeewww! I wonder if still used today. It also took time to prepare cause you had to have all the stuff ready for party night.

[@haplessasshole9615]

Oh, honey -- if you're under 60 and not a Southerner, you have no idea. At our church potlucks, there would be a whole color spectrum of "congealed salads," and no two were ever the same. Many were dotted with miniature marshmallows or slathered with mayo. But hey -- there would always be tons of homemade fried chicken and a bewildering variety of pies. Completely made up for the slimy "salads."

lol. I had an idea once to have a 70's inspired cocktail party with all the cliche 70's party dishes (I realize many of the recipes started in the 50's, but I know they were still popular in the 70's). So, things like deviled eggs, gelatin salads, that well-known spinach dip served in a hollowed-out pumpernickel loaf, fondues, etc. For an added touch, some vintage cocktails like Harvey Wallbangers and whatnot. I never did do it, but I just wanted to explain why this video was so wonderful for me to watch. My inspiration lives on, and I swear I will do this before I die. Thanks for a great vid! Bundt and Swedish meatballs! I didn't think of those.

[@JL-ze5qm]

Everything stuffed! That's another great theme for a party. Stuffed mushrooms, deviled eggs, stuffed peppers, tarts ... pinwheels would work, too. Too bad I don't have any friends and never have parties anymore...Is it possible to throw a party for one?

[@robstockton911]

My aunt’s specialty was ham balls. Like ham loaf but cooked like meatballs and served (sometimes cold) on a platter with toothpicks, with cherry dipping sauce. Ghastly!

[@TKaePetras]

With cherry dipping sauce? Not ghastly, yummy! But maybe I am just weird.

[@dmbalsam]

My Hungarian grandmothers were making stuff cabbage and peppers long before the 50s.

[@zsigzsag]

My ex-husband's grandmother, also Hungarian, taught him to make Halushki, pan fried shredded cabbage with onion and butter salt/pepper. Very time consuming you have to stir it quite a bit for color and consistency but so cheap to make and so delicious! Even better as left overs. We used spirals noodles and the cabbage would get between the spirals. Love it!

I remember having the vegetable version of the Jell-O Salad, I remember them as Aspics. I wonder why no one refers to them as that. I still like them instead of a salad, they sit well in my stomach way better than a fresh salad which is odd but true. I remember all these foods & STILL love them all especially Porcupines & Swedish meatballs which I make on occasion. Thanks for the rid down memory lane. I think I'm going to be busy in my kitchen remaking most of these. :)

[@kathyr2792]

I still make Aspic. Dissolve one package of lemon jello in one cup of boiling water, add one cup of V-8 juice,, a goodly amount of diced celery and sliced scallions and chill. You want enough celery and scallions for crunch in every bite. Thin some Hellmann's mayo with lemon juice and drizzle over.

[@bonnitaclaus2286]

I remember everyone of those. in fact, I would make some of these things from my mom. She was always entertaining, sometimes with friends, sometimes for business. On deviled eggs, hot sauce did not come until the 60s. My mother did not like spices, but she did put a tiny bit of cayenne pepper in Welsh rarebit. She usually didn’t want to get too fancy for some reason. I don’t know why. Trying to make it as fancy as possible. Smashed sardines with mayonnaise, a touch of mustard, and something else that I can’t remember, would be put on a piece of fresh bread and then we had a little round and different shaped cookie cutters no more than an inch cross maximum that I would cut out the hors d’oeuvres. What was in between I would eat. I absolutely love them. My mother never served shrimp cocktail, but it was a must have when we went out to eat. The first time had baked Alaska I believe we were in California in San Francisco a fancy hotel I think it was 1955 -1956. I know I wasn’t 10 years old yet. my mother tried making it once, only once. Being that she’s never made it before she made a practice one. I don’t remember what happened for sure, but I never saw the finished baked Alaska. Bundt cakes, I lived in Minnesota. When Nordic wear brought them out, my mother just had to have one. everybody was talking about him as I remember it, or I just eavesdrop on a conversation, I was very young. I don’t think my mother ever used her bump pan.

Everyone got baby sitter and people brought hostess gifts. The hosting couple made all the food and provided all of the liquor. People also brought their talents and there was singing and dancing until long after midnight. I wish we socialized that way now. Raves are fine when you’re in your 20s but get boring and exhausting by the time you’re 30. We gave one party a year like this for our marriage and everyone loves it. Oscar’s parties. Italian parties. French parties. Japanese parties. Super Bowl parties. One of the holidays parties. It’s a pleasure to attend one of our parties because the guests aren’t required to bring a dish.

I remember that. My mom made it for special dinners quite regularly, but it was something I would skip. Never was a fan. On the other hand, I quite liked jello salads, whether with fruit or veggies. I also loved my mom's tomato soup cake.

I like to cook but what I was so glad to see gone was a lot of tedious preparation that really was not needed e.g. having to shred cheese from a block was time consuming, messy cleaning the shredder. The miracle that happened was being able to buy SHREDDED CHEESE YAY!!! and more types became available e.g. Swiss, cheddar, etc. I went wild with quiches, sauces, no fuss, no muss.

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Yes, I may use pre shredded cheeses in a hurry or with too much to do, but I prefer to grate myself. They put unappetizing additives in those packages to prevent sticking. Freshly shredded actually tastes better.

[@JessicaMcGowan-bu4ls]

@@guardianminifarm8005 Many people would agree with you but I am glad I can skip that step. However, sometimes, for some sauces I have a grater that fits over pots and I do grate Parmesan cheese that way.

Pre shredded cheese is gross and is virtually tasteless. 🤢

@@user-gj1me4mf5c not if you buy a decent brand. Can't be tightfisted - you get what you pay for.

Despite the narrator's over-the-top enthusiasm, most of these offerings are not missed.

That lime jello with veges was FREAKIN DISGUSTING 🤢. My mom used to make it and I refused to eat it lol

[@mandocool]

My mom makes really good ambrosia, but no jello

A lot of mispronunciations

[@kirstenbellemore4448]

Be-camel and rag-out!!

[@aracelicosta2450]

Thanks to IA.

[@MemoryManor]

I am not an AI. Words are pronounced differently depending on which English speaking region you are from.

[@MelissaThompson432]

​@@MemoryManormake your next video showing you speaking into the camera. Nowhere in the world is bechamel "b'camel" or ragout "rag out."

[@jeffweed3947]

Ragout is NOT pronounced rag-out, it is pronounced ragu. As with many French words the final letter [in the case the letter "t"] is silent.

Everything here looks good to me with the exception of Ambrosia which looks like an awful trailer park dessert
