Where I live banana pudding, along with fruit cobblers and apple crisp is very much still a staple in quite a few buffet style restaurants along with family gatherings.

[@susandooley9630]

My 18 yr old grandson & I are going to make this this afternoon

[@patriciafrancis9134]

Everyone I know still make the Magic Cookie Bars for the Christmas Holidays. They are even sold in the grocery stores.

[@TheGoldenAgeofAmerica]

❤️

[@pandorarose3]

Most of these desserts are still available today, which means they have not been abandoned.

[@kwiknreadymovers]

Okay so I am 39 and I make most of these desserts today. Apple crisp is always a fall favourite

[@TheGoldenAgeofAmerica]

❤️

[@Serai3]

Those fruit custard tarts are still made at lots of bakeries. Hello Dollies are still made. Cream pies are in every pie shop as well as every frozen food aisle in supermarkets. Napoleons are still a bakery staple. Jesus, do you guys actually research ANY of your videos??

Thank you for commenting this so the rest of us didn't have to.

[@Serai3]

@@weloveangel509 I've watched a few of these and every time I'm appalled at how bad they are.

Same with Magic Bars! (And cobblers, crisps, turnovers…) I make them every winter. My recipe is from the Farm Journal Christmas Book. It’s from the late 60s or 1970.

NOTE : The cake in the thumb nail NOT INCLUDED 🤬🤬🤬

Lava Cake is still served at many restaurants so it is actually still around.

Pudding pops were great.

[@Rkbmomma]

Lava cakes are super easy to make at home and you still see them on MANY restaurant dessert menus by a different name

Cobblers, crisps, brown bettys, and buckles are all slightly different. Just so you know.

[@TheGoldenAgeofAmerica]

Okay thanks

And galettes

We call Magic Cookie bars, 7 Layer bars and still make a couple batches every Christmas.

[@TheGoldenAgeofAmerica]

Delicious

Same here.

[@SingingOwl1]

Same! They aren’t gone.

[@tykaelin2505]

Fun fact: blondies actually predate brownies, making brownies the delightful twist, not the other way around. :D They're also my favorite dessert.

[@TheGoldenAgeofAmerica]

Thanks!

21:50 lava cake? Forgotten? Don’t go to Pizza-Hut or just about any other pizza joint for that matter then.

[@318hardy]

Most if not all of these are still actively made and relatively easy to find in Louisiana

[@stepheboyd17]

Sticky toffee pudding is still a popular dessert in the UK, as are Scottish Snowballs and apple turnovers.

[@bb-bu9vt]

I had it in a restaurant a few months ago.

[@pink.penguin]

Napoleons is what I miss the most ...

[@ArohaStill]

The only ones I really haven't seen around are the pistachio pudding cake or Watergate cake, the snowball domes I don't really see marshmallows like that but there are like biscuits like that available and you don't really see Divinity around too much but you see meringues everywhere

[@ItsJustLisa]

Let’s not forget that the Watergate cake was also a vehicle to sell the new pistachio pudding mix Jell-O had created.

[@pengle]

Hello Dolly squares are still served at our holiday gatherings to this day!

Ambrosia, Turkish Delight, halva. I'm not sure if ambrosia is a dessert or a salad!

[@diannelavoie5385]

Ambrose could be sort of between a dessert and a fruit salad.

[@Cerulean0987]

I'm from Maine, about the furthest away from the South you can get, and my mother used to make Banana Pudding all the time, in fact, you'd often see the dessert at community gatherings where you brought your own dish.

[@TheGoldenAgeofAmerica]

❤️

[@sharmainestokes7883]

Still make snowballs

[@PellyjellyMom]

I make Galettes, so much easier than pie and kind of a dessert of earlier times. I think people today like easy and quick so big cakes seem to be not so popular.

He keeps saying people prefer "lighter" snacks. On what planet? Snacks take up more space in grocery stores than anything else and people weren't fat in the 70s

The fruit tarts are still made at bakeries in Asia. They are quite elegant. I still make apple crisp and even pear crisp. Never did like lava cake; it’s basically just undercooked cake. If you like undercooked cake, cake pops are all the rage now.

I wish I could find my mothers old recipe for her version of sock it to me cake. She made it with apples, cinnamon, walnuts, brown sugar and sour cream. But I need to find the measurements, I know it's somewhere in a box in the garage of her old stuff from when she passed away.

[@soulsister2410]

A lot of store bought desserts do not taste as good as homemade. Most of the desserts in this video I still make several times a year. I believe there are generational differences and younger people do not bake as much as previous generations do.

What is your favorite dish?

[@bobhogue6278]

So popular they were discontinued? That doesn't make sense

My boyfriend is the early 1970’s had a grandmother who served a buttermilk pie, which I loved. She wrote out the recipe and gave it to me and I still make it occasionally. I remarried 8 years ago and my husband had never had it before, but he requests it now. Bisquick has an impossible buttermilk pie recipe that I sometimes make that has a similar flavor without the crust texture and a bit quicker to make.

[@TheGoldenAgeofAmerica]

If you would like to share the recipe, I am curious and I can make it too

[@tastx3142]

@@TheGoldenAgeofAmerica Old Timey Buttermilk Pie - given to me by Meme Barbee as hand written on a recipe card in about 1973 1 9 inch unbaked pie crust, 1/2 cup butter or margarine, 1 cup sugar, 3 rounded tablespoons all purpose flour, 3 eggs-beaten, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg to sprinkle on pie before baking. Cream butter and sugar. Add beaten eggs and flour. Beat well, then stir in buttermilk and vanilla. Pour into unbaked pie shell and sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake 40-50 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. I often use powdered buttermilk and add it along with the flour then add water in place of the buttermilk following the directions on the canister. I usually add a bit more vanilla and nutmeg since we prefer that. I do use real butter rather than margarine.

[@tastx3142]

@@TheGoldenAgeofAmerica The Bisquick Impossible Buttermilk pie recipe is still online and identical to what I have made for decades. I do the same thing with the powdered buttermilk as I do with the previous recipe. One doesn’t need a crust but it does come out nicely without it. Again, I add more vanilla and do sprinkle nutmeg on, but you can add cinnamon or other flavorings instead. We prefer both versions after refrigerated and chilled, but it doesn’t always make it to the fridge intact unless serving it to others 😊

[@eveny119]

I make Apple Crisp all the time. I by Apple turnovers about once a month. I get Napoleons every year for my birthday. The french fruit tarts you said are still served. They still sell snowball cupcakes. I thought lava cakes were fairly new?

I live the PNW and there is no shortage of cream pies, cobblers, banana puddings. Etc. I don’t think they know the meaning of “abandoned”

[@bassqueen7134]

I don't get store bought pies ever anymore because unfortunately I appear to be the last person on earth that knows how to make a good flaky edible pie crust.I don't know how people eat store pies or restaurant pies it's the same as cardboard and ice cream is even worse.

I still make Divinity with pecans for Christmas when the humidity cooperates. Also make Banana Pudding on occasion and fruit cobblers, especially peach.

[@susantownsend8397]

Oh, Honey, you aren’t eating at the right tables! Here in the South we never lost a lot of these. Hello Dolly bars, fruit tarts, and no holiday feast is complete without banana pudding - my daughter’s is the best! We still order crème pies at diners and cafes, and our bakeries make Napoleons. And that’s just halfway through the video. ❤

[@pennykeller3048]

I can find a lot of these desserts in my family reunion cookbook. And if I don't have the ingredients to make it I go to the store and get the ingredients or buy what they have already made at the bakery

[@ItsJustLisa]

These recipes aren’t “gone”, they’re everywhere! And Lava Cake doesn’t have anything in it, it’s deliberately underbaked chocolate cake. Some people freeze the batter in the ramekins first to insure that the center doesn’t bake through.

[@CCL83]

All these things are good, but they aren't anywhere near as good as you are trying to make them out to be. For example, cobbler is great, but it's never going to rival gourmet anything. It's humble, simple, quick and easy. That's what makes it so accessible. It's never going to be the best food you ever had, but it is by no means bad. Anyone can make one, and it's really difficult to mess up.

[@graffic13]

Bout to make a Watergate Poke Cake!!!!😂😂😂 I remember most of this from the 80's btw

(Actually, the first time I encountered lava cakes was well into the 1980s, at somebody's wedding, I think.) None of those are in short supply nowadays.
