Any old fashioned food either your Mom or Grandma made, or you used to get at a restaurant that nobody makes anymore?

Am I the only one who still sees all these products still available in the stores?Also, check out Vermont Country Store for old school candy/stuff. The only thing I cant find anymore are those orange traingular wax whistle/flute they use to have on Halloween, and you could chew it when you were done and it was sweet. I also miss the Reggie Bar!!

Apparently they still sell Rap Snacks in the inner city. In the hood where they sell the twosies of Newport's.Besides that, I still drink Tab which I thought was off the market. I love that.Now
if anyone knows this one, I will flip. There used to be this Peanut
Butter snack bar, I think it was called Peanut Butter Crunch or
something like that. It was the mid to late 80's and what it was was
peanut butter (the same texture as in Peanut Butter Cups) in a log
about 3/4 inch thick and 5 inches long, coated with chocolate and those
crunchies like they have in Soft Serve Ice Cream Cones. Now if anyone
has heard of that, let me know.

Vermont candy store has everything.  BL chew is around.  my chick is working on something for them.  At Easter my grammy makes these calzone type pies.  we call them "easter pizzas" but they are more like a calzone.  it is does stuffed with surpasod, semi dry saugage, ricotta, hard boiled eggs, mozz.  and baked in the oven.  its funny that this thread came up because last weekend she told me that with all the health problems that she has gone through in the last few months, that she doesnt know how to make them anymore.  she is the only one that knew how to make them.  i almost cried and then my belly rumbled.

When we lived in N.

Oooh. Good question. I guess as far as snacks go I'll go with the ol
southern staple of an RC Cola and a moonpie (vanilla or banana),
substitute a Dr. Pepper or Coke for the RC. Anything else would just be
stuff my grandma makes. Deviled eggs, pork chops, homemade biscuits and
gravy. Or biscuits with her homemade preserves.Other retro food would be stuff my girlfriend's yia yia makes. Ol fashion Greek food. Mousaka, baklava, pretty much anything Greek.

We were poor when I was little, and on two seperate occasions in high school I tried eating corn dogs, and then fish sticks, thinking they'd be as great as they were then, only to discover why we ate them when we were had no money.On a lighter note, macaroni with Velveta cheese still stands the test of time, like hardcore.

My grandmother used to make fried chicken with corn flakes as the breading. It got hit or miss as she got older. The other thing she made were these awesome oatmeal cookies that were more of a cross between oatmeal and sugar cookies and there was a hint of nutmeg I think. No one else in the family was ever able to make them the same way - I think she purposely gave them the wrong recipe. The used to freeze really well so she would make huge batches that would last for months.The must haves at any family/holiday dinner are noodle pudding and the green been caserole w/mushroom soup and the French's onions.

I never had those until high school, and I know them as honky eggs. I have no idea why.    And telecaster brought up zotz. I totally forgot about those. They were great.

My mom still makes the best fried chicken I have ever tasted, and only a few have ever made rice as good as hers.Her banana bread and pumpkin bread is worth fighting over.This is a topic where being from the Deep South has its advantages.I have an aunt who used to make big batches of candy and sweets like homemade fudge. My favorite was the divinity. We'd go over and she'd have a half-dozen school cafeteria-sized trays of this stuff laid out for 4 or 5 kids.As for old school bought food, to this day I don't know why I ever bought a single Mary Jane. Never liked-em, often ate-em.Then there were the candy cigarettes that were still  available years after the Surgeon General's report came out.Then there was Shake-A-Puddin.'And Space Food Sticks.Fizzies.Caravelle Bars.

Anyway, I guess that in an attempt to get on my good side the guy gave me his whole supply of left-over frozen McRibs once the limited time they were being offered at McDonalds expired.  I had over 100 frozen McRibs stuffed in my parents freezer.  They lasted me well over a year.  Much longer than I was going out with that girl.  Funny thing, by the ime I ate the last one, I was not that into them anymore.  I didn't say I didn't like 'em, just that the thrill was gone.  It's really one of those things that has to be for a "limited time only".<img src="http://www.jazzopolis.com/~tlc/ribwich.gif" border="0" />

My dad used to make that egg in the bread thing and called it " Egg's Nest ".I wasn't a big fan because he always made it with the yolk runny and I hate that.I guess he could've made it well done for me but maybe at that point he just shit-canned the Egg's Nest idea and made me a fried egg.He still makes it for my niece occasionally.

my grandma's pot roast.  it is so unbelievably good.  the meat is always tender, lots of potatoes, carrots, and onions, all seasoned to perfection.  she usually adds in homemade apple sauce for a side along with a fresh baked strawberry rhubarb or pecan pie.  i love going to my grandmas for dinner.she also makes her own caramel corn with her own caramel recipe and is chocked full of cashews.  i can not eat another type of caramel corn ever again.

http://www.groovycandies.com/uploadmedia/images/670.jpg

When I was a kid, they were a very special treat to me. We didn't have a mall or a candy store here, so I only got them when we went to Tyson's Corner Mall, or visited family in Norfolk.

these were one of my childhood favs too. But I was able to get them too much that now I never desire them. I will buy a box/bag next time I see them. Maybe they will spark something after all these years!

My mon used to make this for us as breakfast on occasion, or if we begged. Shes take a piece of bread and a glass and force a hole through the bread and then pan toast the bread. Then she'd crack an egg into the hole in the bread and fry it along with the bread disk. Did anyone elses mom do this?

My mom used to make this for me and my brother and sister too. It was great. This thread is making me hungry. This message was edited by wonderwoman on 10-26-06 @ 12:21 PM

It's called a hole-in-one, no?

I've also heard "toad in a hole"

Wow, The Sunny Kids Used To Get That Once A Week For Breakfast. It Was Considered A Real Treat!!

Anyone remember jelly (Welch's maybe?) that came in glass jars with cartoons on the side? It was designed so when the jar was empty you could use it as a drinking glass. The jelly is the same but I remember the glasses.

Also, how about the little, cardboard cups of Good Humor ice cream that came with a little wooden paddle-spoon in a wax paper sleeve? You can still get the ice cream but it's not the same without the wooden spoon.

Butoni's toaster pizzas??? They were crispy, bread-like disks that you cooked in the toaster like a Pop-Tart. Inside they had some sort of orange goo that was supposed to resemble pizza sauce and cheese.

I also remember frozen meals in plastic bags that you'd drop into a pot of boiling water to heat. I especially remember the Salisbury Steak. That was a quick lunch or dinner before microwave ovens became commonplace.

There were also TV dinners in foil trays that you heated in the oven. One of the compartment in the tray had chocolate pudding for dessert which you ate hot. It always had a crispy ring of pudding crust around the edge. It sounds disgusting but it was the best part of the meal.

Yeah, most candy bars are that way. I don't think they've changed, you have. You get a little older and realize its nothing but sugar. Reeses Peanut Butter cups come to mind.

Ever look at one of your Mom's old cookbooks? A real mind fuck, how much food has changed since the 50's/60's/70's. One thing that jumps out at you is they used enough grease, lard, butter and shortening to give an Ox a heart attack. but somehow, most of them lived to be 80. Go figure.

As a kid, I never went to McDonalds, it was always Roy Rogers. Chicken, roast beef, and burgers. I don't even know if the chain is still around.
My mom always used to make a real simple, yet tasty dish-- macaroni, cheddar cheese, and tomatos, baked in a casserole dish.
Roy Rogers fast food is totally still around the Maryland/West Virginia area.
We used to have a similar chain called "Rax" with hot/cold color changing kid's cups. They stayed in the cabinet for years.

Is turkish taffy still around?
I member back in the day you could buy this bigass slab that was, like, a foot long and 3 inches wide or something.

Down South occasionally one can find a sandwich called a "Monte Cristo."
It's basically a ham and chhese sandwich that is dipped in tempura batter and deep-fried.

Then there were those giant lolly-pops.....

I just remembered another drink we used to have in the late 60s. I can't recall the name, but you bought a cup with lid, and then packets of powdered drink mix.
You'd put a certain amount of water or milk in the cup and pour in the powdered mix, put the lid on the cup and shake like hell until you got this thick drink delight.
There were just a handful of flavors, chocolate, strawberry and banana, as I recall. Maybe vanilla.
We got to where often we'd just have the powdered mix straight from the packet. I recall getting a lot of it in the mouth and the outside would sort of congeal while the inside was still powder until you chewed on it and if you swallowed before getting it all wet the mass of powder would bust up and stick in the back of your throat and it would be quite uncomfortable until you worked enough spit back there to soften it up so it would go on down.

Like with Shake-A-Puddin, it seemed there was some special cachet to having something you'd shake up in order to get it into edible form.

I open all of them from the pack and use one cracker to scrape the filling off the other cracker. I then eat the naked cracker. I repeat this until I have two crackers with ALL the filling from the other ones. I put those two together and have one REALLY cream cheese and chives filled cracker sandwich.
