20 Forgotten Desserts From The 1970s, We Want Back!

My classy self is sitting down to this video w/ a root beer float😋

[@brigidsingleton1596]

From what I've heard about root beer, it's so nasty, tastes like a medicinal-tasting mouthwash and would be horrid as an ice cream float. I've enjoyed instead, ice cream on lemonade or better still, cream soda, yummy!!

@ you don’t know until you try!

My mother made us eggs a la neige for special occasions in my childhood. I attempted to make it once and I failed miserably 😢. Thank you for this video, all of these are tempting.

I still make baked Alaska pudding. Have one half done in the freezer, just need the meringue. And I make mine in the oven, not with a torcher.

[@elizabethpirie5050]

I still make baked Alaska love it still my mum made it all through our childhood I am now in my sixties

[@missanne2908]

My mother wasn't as industrious, but I ordered it in restaurants in the 1970s. Last time I had it was on a cruise in 2009.

[@lindaannelineharwood4891]

Excellent history - and really interesting foods. Reminds me a lot of the things on the Townsends youtube channel - tastes we've forgotten.

[@Hummingbird108]

I remember some of those must try some of them again.

[@phedrob3735]

The pronunciation of blancmange and mange is something else. Apparently, Jesus was laid on a mange 😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@maryholden3136]

Everyone stopped eating junket when yoghurt became more generally available. Blancmange, baked alaska, queen of puddings and other trifle type desserts are still popular in many homes in UK

[@lazyldy]

Fascinating.

[@tomvalveede6808]

Quince paste candy is readily available at most markets in Mexico. It's inexpensive and delicious!

[@jbpitcock]

Spoiler alert: Instant pudding is apparently the culprit that killed off all these desserts. 😅

[@katiewallace7571]

Mmmmm.... now I just want banana pudding. ... it's all about those vanilla wafers.

[@maryholden3136]

The fruit fool has evolved.... now we enjoy the fruits mixed with yoghurt for breakfast.....or have the dairy and fruit in the form of a smoothie

[@Pinkstinkie]

Took me a while to realize the 'pudding' at the end of some of the names (Baked Alaska Pudding) is the English word for "dessert" kind of pudding and not American style Jello-type pudding.

[@OriginalCaliKitty]

Yes, which I thought was really strange for a channel named Vintage Life of USA. Clearly an American didn't write the script.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

not too long a while, I hope 😬

[@pascaline161]

Had syllabub and tipsy cakes in restaurants in scotland 2 years ago. Both delicious. And quince paste is easy to find still in France, you can buy it it, a great treat for christmas. I make my own every year ! Snow eggs , or oeufs à la neige , are not rare at all ! A very traditionnal desert ( France) . Sometimes called iles flottantes. A favorite dessert in my household.

[@grahamrankin4725]

Quince grows well in our part of Oregon. We make it each fall.

[@johnwanko9318]

Not about desserts from the 1970s and filled with stock footage of desserts that don't match the narration. Awful.

[@j2174]

Quince paste is not forgotten, nor difficult to find in Western countries outside of the US...

[@chelseabug11]

Fast foods brought in synthetic desserts that taste sweet and no flavour

[@peggybegin8241]

I think he meant the 1870's😂😂😂😂

[@pascaline161]

Baked alaska is still made

[@Tightpinch]

People are just too lazy to make them. Grandma or mom had to make them before. Now it fruitloop marshmallow squares because their too lazy to go buy rice crispys

[@marleneclough3173]

Instant pudding is awful

[@katiewallace7571]

Is it the pudding, or the corn starch?

[@maryholden3136]

What is instant pudding? I don't think we have it here in UK but possibly we do and I've just not seen it or it's called something else

[@marleneclough3173]

@@maryholden3136 it is thickeners, artificial flavour and colour that you add to milk. Yuk

[@maryholden3136]

@@marleneclough3173 ... oh yes, I think we do have it over here. There's 2 things .. angel delight and dream topping. The first is meant to be mousse and the second an alternative to whipped cream. They're both chemical concoctions of powder for milk to be added to. They're both horrible. I tried them back in the 80s once. The kids had heard of them from friends at school. They didn't like it either. Favourite desserts in our house were apple crumble, trifle, cake, cherry pie and jam roly-poly. Occasionally rice pudding which everyone ate but was rarely requested unlike the others
