When you were talking about the long drive for feta in the 90s, it reminded me how many times in the comments I've seen people lose their snit over cottage cheese in lasagna. I'm not even sure you could find ricotta and Italian sausage in some states in the 1970s. The closest thing we could find was cottage cheese and ground beef with Italian seasoning 🤷♀️

I'm half Italian-American on my father's side; my mom was able to get ricotta in suburban Chicago in the 1960s, but I think she had to special order it -- she was on a first name basis with the manager of our local Jewel grocery store, and he was super accommodating. My aunt (Dad's sister) lived in Dallas and she had to use cottage cheese in her lasagne; I remember her saying it was because of the Texas heat making shipping/storage more difficult, but more likely there simply weren't enough Italian-Americans to create demand.
@gidget87173 ай бұрын
@@SarahRenz59 it really was demand. In the 60s and 70s grocery store were small and often local owned unless it was a good size city. They stocked what the majority bought.

Strange. I lived in a medium sized town/city (40-50,000) in Indiana. In 1968, we took a trip to DC and ate at an Italian restaurant. It was the first time I had lasagna - there weren't many Italians where I lived. When we got home, my mother and I were determined to make lasagna so took a trip to the A&P and found everything we needed. Italian sausage, ricotta, lasagna noodles - all things we'd never even noticed on the shelves. Five years later we moved to New York State and half of the town/city of same size was Italian (the other half was Swedish!). It was amazing to be able to buy freshly made ricotta in the deli and freshly made Italian sausage (hot, mild & sweet in links, patties or bulk) in the meat case at the grocery store. And so much more! Within another 5 years, everyone in Indiana was eating lasagna.

Pistachio pudding dessert has been a staple at all our family gatherings since the 80s. My mom used to make it, but it's my contribution now. I made it for 20 years before I got an offset spatula. That spatula changed my life! You did it the only way that works, plop all the toppings in the middle and spread it out from there. Otherwise, the crust will break away and infect your lower layer. We always used walnuts in the crust. The lazy version I make now uses premade graham cracker crusts. The full recipe fills 2 crusts. I do one small box of pistachio pudding and one of chocolate. Super easy way to satisfy everyone's tastes! I have also added a cup of peanut butter to the cream cheese layer and used chocolate pudding. Even better, use the oreo cookie crust and chocolate. Those were incredible, no leftovers. This dessert lasts several days in the fridge before it starts going weird. I got a great pyrex 9x12 clear glass pan with a lid and a hot/cold carrying case for my wedding 25 years ago, and that dish is known as the pistachio pudding pan. Sure, I use it for other things but I have never made pistachio pudding dessert in any other dish. Well, until I got lazy and started using the graham cracker crusts. :) I wonder if you could use vanilla pudding and a layer of sliced banana and make banana pudding. Would it be too rich and creamy? I do like your idea of butterscotch, too.
@kikihammond53263 ай бұрын
My mother only made banana pudding pie using vanilla pudding, sliced bananas, graham cracker crust and whipped cream. It was light and delicious. My brother really loved bananas, so he'd put a layer of thinly cut banana on top of the crust, then the pudding, more banana, and then the whipped cream.

Anna! This was such a fun video! So great!😃 Imma testify on feta & cherry tomatoes here: I was in 4th grade in 1981, and I can tell you coming from a small rural place, (but even for my cousins in larger cities like Chicago) feta cheese would have been incredibly unusual, not only to find, but even know it existed. There was American, Colby, cheddar, Swiss, and the only Parmesan was in a shakey can for pizza and pasta. Yes. Heck, olives being part of a dish, other than Pizza Hut pizza or a holiday relish tray, would have been unusual. Try to imagine this, younger viewers: unless you lived in a major city like New York or LA, even having very Americanized Mexican or Chinese food at a restaurant was still considered a bit worldly and exotic in 1981. This would change swiftly through the rest of the 80s to the point that Chinese and Mexican food had become passé in the 90s. The new hotness was Indian food, Middle Eastern food, and African food. With no Internet, you either learned about some of these things in libraries or maybe your family had the funds to travel outside the US. Another great example of how forward leaning some ingredients of these recipes were, the salad calls for cherry tomatoes. Unless you had a garden, even cherry tomatoes were a pretty special, cool thing! And if you went out to a very nice restaurant, your salad almost certainly had cherry tomatoes, and the number of cherry tomatoes would tell you how fancy it was (sometimes you only got one). The cherry tomatoes in restaurants were never sliced. I suppose it was to show that you had an actual cherry tomato and not part of another larger tomato like a Roma? It was such a thing, that there was often a tired part of conversation about cherry tomatoes, and how to approach one in your salad, and that they would squirt on your clothing, because no one had considered you could use the steak knife at the table to cut your cherry tomato in half. It was also common to advise people to carefully and quickly pierce your tomato with a fork and just eat it whole to avoid squirting it on your clothing. Honest to God, this cherry tomato thing was talked about way more than you could imagine. Often the cherry tomatoes back then weren’t that good either. They were either too sweet or flavorless. The breeding of grape tomatoes through the 90s and the industrialization of the production of grape tomatoes are a welcome part of my weekly groceries. But if I see actual cherry tomatoes somewhere, I still buy them. They still seem special, maybe because the grape tomato has made them rare again. 🙂 Omg, that pistachio dessert took me right back to happy good flavors! We usually had a chocolate version too, sometimes with nuts, sometimes not. I totally forgot about this - I’m making this for visitors this weekend! So good!!! 😃 That hot dog ideas photo! That is so familiar. I think lots of magazines ripped off that layout later - those lined up dogs with chips or other things! Lookin’ at you, Martha Stewart! 😄 Cottage cheese hotdogs- I’M IN! No broil necessary for me 🙂 It always makes me so happy to see how happy party food makes you! Pure joy! ✨ Thank you, Anna! I hope you are well and being kind to yourself. 😌✨
