20 Classic American Breakfasts From The 1970's That We Stopped Eating

[@janmclain6301]

Cream of Rice cereal was my favorite cereal, and one of the first foods I made for my babies. I made my kids' baby food before it became a "trendy" thing to do, lol.

[@AM-br4ix]

Me and my 2 siblings ate a ton of Cream of Wheat…❤

[@sonjadunning1579]

I loved cream of wheat and malted o meal. I still buy them both. Love this content. ❤

[@jamesharryman7016]

I live in Maryland and I still eat scrapple and eggs, corned beef hash and eggs, puffed rice or wheat and creamed chip beef from time to time

As a kid growing up in the 1960's , sometimes we kids and our parents would make "soggy toast" . "Soggy toast" is made by spreading an excessive amount of butter on bread and baking it in a broiler oven . I make it today by spreading an excessive amount of butter on bread , putting it in a micro wave oven for twenty seconds and then putting it in a toaster for two to three minutes . I will then spread jelly , jam , preserves , or honey on it . YUM !!!

[@firebird6522]

I made that too! I never heard the term "soggy toast". I used to also make broiled sandwiches of Spam or Treet with cheese spreading lots of butter on the top of the bread. I liked the gooey middle where the butter was contrasted with the crispy, crunchy edges.

[@robertbroughton1443]

I make Cinnamon toast that way, except I melt the butter, cinnamon, and sugar in a saucepan, then I use a pastry brush to apply it, then bake it at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Oh the smell, and taste afterwards.

[@amyloring1648]

I still eat Cream of Rice cereal. Its nice and light, easy to digest.

[@ServraghGiorsal]

Malt o meal hot cereal in minnesota winter mornings. Sometimes we had tomato soup and open face grilled cheese toasts . Usually when there had been overnight snow. My brother and i both had a snow shovel route and worked for our elderly neighɓors.

Jiffy mixes are made in Chelsea Michigan, by the Chelsea Milling Company

[@Gottaknow]

I love the cornbread mix!!!

[@donnawheeler6283]

I loved Quisp when I was a kid.

[@HDCalame]

Me too! And Quake as well.

[@robertbroughton1443]

One of my all time favorite morning hot cereals was Quaker instant oatmeal flavor packs. After a recent hospital stay, and tasting their god awful version of oatmeal, I had a serious yearning for some real oatmeal with real flavor.

[@Whiteruffels]

Corned beef Hash was what we had for dinner.

[@holton345]

You missed Pillsbury Space Food Sticks. They rocked.

[@callycharles2515]

I just ate Eggs in a Nest and lo and behold, there it was (aat 12:16). I usually follow my eggs with fresh grapefruit and again.... there it was! Today mine was plain, but I make the broiled one wiith sugar (I use a kitchen tourch and tourmaline sugar). I first had it at The Ocean House in Rhode Island and instantly fell in love. DELICIOUS! Born in the 50s, I've enjoyed almost every one of the dishes in the video..... and still do. I love these videos!

[@sandihooyman4977]

Dried Beef Gravy or SOS IS YUMMY. A fine supper for us in the ‘70’s

[@MargoWoodmansee]

I still drink maxwell house instant coffee every day ❤

[@valerieblackmer7056]

We still have eggs Benedict in most of the diners here.

[@darlenelandry1546]

I grew up in the Air Force and we used to eat SOS for dinner, only we made it with ground beef

[@diannelavoie5385]

My mom and grandma made it that way, too.

[@arizonachris1011]

Seems to me that a lot of these great foods are still around. Like corn beef hash. I have corn beef hash and eggs with a side of crispy bacon at least once a month.

[@southerncaltattooedbiker3643]

My Mom would cook rice and then we would put milk, butter, sugar still eat it too day only now i add cinnamon. We also ate grits, cream of wheat, oatmeal witch my adult grandchildren still eat and if things don't get better we will be going back to these foods.

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

Your mum cooked a rice dish I'd call Rice Gruel. In Norway we'd have rice porrige, the day before Christmas Eve. So much to do, getting ready for the next day, a simple dinner was fine. (As Christmas Eve is our main day of celebration). Leftovers were mixed with whipped cream, and topped with cloudberry jam. During winter we ate oats porrige one day, and gruel from the leftovers the next. Adding milk, and reheating. Love from Oslo 😊❤

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

16:15. Friends should never let friends drink any Maxwell House coffee.

[@BuckPalanger]

I was born in 1963, and I never heard of "Maypo" until just now.

[@ServraghGiorsal]

Recently on the olympic peninßula. In Washington State, we had crab benedict and clam chowder for breakfast. On be freakin' liev able!!!! Outstanding quality and taste. In a diner at 6:30 am. Best EVER !!!

[@ServraghGiorsal]

Ovaltine !!^in winter. Sprinkled on ice cream in summer. Mom called it chocalate. Ting a ling ice cream. May have originated in 😅😅Chicago's palmer house hotel.

[@alicechilders7972]

My kids love king vitaman cereal..., they still look for it in the store

[@firebird6522]

My wife loves fried Spam for breakfast. I prefer Treet. Less salty.

[@wayned5872]

No mention of biscuits & gravy or New Jersey's finest TAYLOR'S PORKROLL?

[@lori211]

Those are regional favorites. The video is about national favorites

[@loriloristuff]

When drinking Instant Breakfast, I never felt that I'd actually had breakfast. That's been replaced with the smoothie. There was no difference in flavor between Quisp and Quake, just the shape. In fact, Quisp, Quake, King Vitaman and Cap'n Crunch all tasted the same to me. I like Spam for breakfast! It's shelf-stable. Ditto corned beef hash. But the best hash was made after Dt. Patrick's Day, not from the can. My go-to morning brew is bulletproof coffee, made from cold brew. It holds me til lunch. I'm allergic to grapefruit. Scrapple is tasty. You had Maypo but not CocoWheats.

[@Carla-by9rg]

well I remember maypo.... and still use it.... gotta have my grits and butter... eggs over easy with toast scrambled eggs with strawberry toast... a 12 ounce steak with 1 egg... no toast but hashbrowns or sometimes sliced fried potatoes and of course my favorite..... biscuits and gravy

[@MargoWoodmansee]

I also still eat corned beef hash

[@MargoWoodmansee]

We have devilled eggs all the time

[@ferdfirtz]

Corned beef hash where is the cabbage and potatoes?

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

I used to love grapefruit with sugar, but it gives me fever blisters. But I've never ever heard of grilled grapefruit.

[@HDCalame]

I have only known of scrapple on the east coast.

[@patriciadobbins2281]

Carnation Instant Breakfast's ingredients, are very comparable to ensure, & a lot cheaper.

[@MargoWoodmansee]

Johnny cakes didn't look like that in my area

[@echoecho3108]

It's King Vita-man cereal. It's Wheat-ee-na. Please use a human narrator.

[@MarcVanLaere-zr5im]

I don't get it. Why not leave people alone, and let them eat what they want. 🤔

[@bretnorling320]

20:45- That is NOT a breakfast table!

[@Sacred_Fire]

😄
