. Jubilee Cherries This sweet staple dessert has basically disappeared. It's one of those old desserts that were popular until the 1960s. Basically, the dessert is a cherry sauce over ice cream. For the cherry sauce, the cherries are flambéed with sugar and a liqueur. Usually the liquor is kirschwasser or simple brandy. This sauce is then poured over the ice cream.

When served in restaurants, it often arrived at the table while on fire. Now, of course, this dish would taste better with fresh cherries, but people started using canned cherries when they started serving it in larger quantities. Any food that appears on a show like this usually gets our vote, but it seems like the magic has died out. According to some sources, the dish became a bit excessive

and serving it all the time, using lower quality canned cherries, making it less exquisite and more common. The cherry jubilee actually has a real story behind it.

The dish was invented in 1897 in honor of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee by a man named Auguste Escoffier. However, his original recipe did not include vanilla ice cream. We guess someone thought this would be a great combination, they tried it and the world never looked back. Crisco A staple of many kitchens, Crisco was introduced in 1911 as an alternative to lard in cooking. It was made with partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, which allowed the company to claim that it was made from vegetables in its original advertising campaigns. The result is a crystallized cottonseed oil, hence the name. In fact, Crisco was first used to make candles and other items typically made with lard, before it was considered a staple food.

And it became popular. People used it for everything from frying fish to baking flaky pie crusts and even spreading it on toast. In the mid-1990s, people began to care more about the food they ate. They realized that trans fats were dangerous and pointed to fatty foods as the culprit for heart disease. Nowadays, people have started kicking the habit of processed fats and looking for healthier alternatives for their baking needs. At one point, Crisco modified its recipe to try to meet the demand for healthier foods. Jello Salads In the 1960s, jello salads were all the rage.

A jello salad was basically a variety of foods, from vegetables to cheese and olives, and even tuna, wrapped and cooled in a jello mold. Part of Jell-O's previous advertising campaigns promoted these salads as a great way for America's housewives to preserve leftovers and encourage their children to eat their vegetables. During the Great Depression, this was a popular idea for people to stretch their rations as much as they could. In the 1960s, jello salads appeared everywhere, from family dinners to local potlucks, festivals, and public events. In fact, they were so popular that Jell-O released a series of savory flavors, such as tomato, Italian salad, and celery, for use in these concoctions.

The reality is that there are a few possible reasons why we don't eat jello salads anymore, one of which is the fact that they look like alien brains is a major influence. Additionally, people began trying to reduce their consumption of processed foods and sugars and opt for more nutritious meals. But the main reason is probably that American housewives started leaving the house and working for a living, meaning they didn't have as much time to make jello salads and chill them until dinner. Fondue This Swiss mealtime tradition was very popular in the United States in the 1970s.

Fondue parties were a staple in many homes and communities, especially when the first cold winter nights arrived. Sitting around a plate of piping hot cheese with crusty bread or other items ready to dip was the perfect way to bond. And if you wanted a dessert version, the chocolate fondue was ready to go. However, while Switzerland still sits around its bowls of cheese, dipping its crusty bread in that gooey goodness, the United States just doesn't do it anymore. At least that much. There is no real explanation as to why this fad started to die out. Maybe too many people were double dipping?

A more realistic explanation is that in a world where fatty foods and carbohydrates are the devil, it is no surprise that this is no longer common. Sure, you can still enjoy a great piping hot fondue dinner these days. In fact, some restaurateurs have tried to revive the trend by giving it a modern touch, such as seafood dishes and gourmet dessert fondues. But chances are they won't invite you to any fondue dinners like they did in the 1970s. Sunny Delight Oh, good old Sunny D. The reason we don't drink Sunny D anymore is pretty obvious. Just check the ingredients list on a bottle of Sunny D: corn syrup with less than 5% real juice.

Sugar, sugar and more sugar. Artificial colors. It contains ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), the toxicity of which is currently being studied by the FDA because it is known to cause skin rashes. There is also another side effect. In 1999, a news report revealed that a four-year-old girl in the United Kingdom had turned yellow from drinking too much Sunny D. This girl was drinking about 1.5 liters of Sunny D a day when her parents began to notice her La skin was taking on a yellow-orange tone. This was due to the amount of beta-carotene added to give the drink its characteristic color.

Now, drinking 1.5 liters a day is extremely excessive, especially for a small child. But this isn't really a risk you want with your favorite drink. Earlier this year, Sunny D made headlines in a negative way that had nothing to do with the quality of their product. During the Superbowl, Sunny D's official account tweeted the simple statement: "I can't do this anymore." While this was likely a reference to the infamously boring game, many people took it as a negative commodification of depression, leading to bad PR for the brand. Fortunately, many other brands came to the rescue to take advantage of the opportunity and check out the drink.

Tapioca Pudding Our argument is not that tapioca pudding has disappeared. You can still find this pudding staple at buffets and other places, but it's not as popular as it once was. Do a quick Google search for tapioca pudding and you'll find the words "old-fashioned" and "grandma-famous" in the titles of many of the recipes. However, you have to admit that it was definitely a staple at one point. Many adults today probably remember the days when they opened their lunch bags at school and saw a package of tapioca pudding there. It was also one of those staple foods that many grandmothers in America made from scratch.

Tapioca pudding was definitely a food to love or hate. Some people just couldn't get over the lumpy texture. It's easy to see why people

stopped

making it: it's a time-consuming process. There is also another very minor risk: tapioca is potentially dangerous if cooked poorly. This is why. To obtain tapioca, it is necessary to grind a cassava root. Cassava is basically a tuber that looks very similar to a sweet potato. However, when raw, cassava root contains natural forms of cyanide. Yes, the poison. So if you don't cook it properly, you're poisoning yourself. Tapioca is heavily processed, so there isn't much to worry about, but it comes from this root and if not processed properly, could still contain traces of cyanide.

Again, not likely, but you never know. Ambrosia Salad To be honest, ambrosia salad looks like a unicorn went crazy at a birthday party and threw up. However, its flavor is surprisingly delicious. This particular dish consists of fruit, coconut, and marshmallows mixed with whipped cream or another creamy substance and then chilled for a few hours before serving. The most common fruits used to prepare it are tangerines and pineapple, but there are tons of versions. Originating in the early 20th century, ambrosia salad became a staple for Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners, served alongside greens, mashed potatoes, and turkey. It was popularized in the southern states and was reserved for holidays because it required luxurious ingredients that had to be imported.

This made it look exotic and elegant. However, after the 1920s, it became easier to prepare for households on a tighter budget due to the availability of things like marshmallow cream. However, it was still associated with the holidays. Sloppy Joes were once a dinnertime staple for the average American household, but Sloppy Joes are no longer as popular. In fact, this entry probably reminded you that they existed in the first place. In their defense, many Americans still eat sloppy coffees. And it's easy: the dish is literally ground beef in sauce on a bun. It also remains a staple on many typical cafeteria menus.

They are simply not served as weekly dinners as frequently as they once were, and homemade versions are often swapped for store-bought salsa for reasons of price and convenience. If you ask us, you really should get Manwich Monday back. But unfortunately, many people simply overlook this in favor of lower sodium and less processed options. No one really knows how the neglected became something. There are many theories, all of which involve someone named Joe. One theory tells the story of a man in Cuba named José, owner of a not-so-tidy bar that Ernest Hemingway frequented. Hemingway supposedly liked his creation so much that he brought it home and he got the restaurant from his house to prepare it.

Another theory suggests that a guy named Joe invented it in Iowa in the 1930s, where loose meat sandwiches are an iconic food, by adding ketchup to the meat. Either way, many '90s kids' dinners wouldn't have been the same without it. TV Dinners TV dinners initially attracted many consumers because they were cheap and easy to pop in the oven. It all started when Swanson was trying to find a way to package Thanksgiving dinner leftovers and sell them. They decided on a frozen dinner for one and the idea took off. People loved it. They were easy and convenient, and you could just pop them in the oven for a quick meal that could be eaten right in front of the TV.

At the time of its invention in the 1950s, television was a new phenomenon that captivated American homes. People had never had this before and spent much of their time together watching television. Being able to eat in front of him was exciting and fun. Grocery store aisles are still filled with a variety to choose from. Once the microwave became more popular, it was faster and more convenient to reheat TV dinners. While some people still opt for prepared meals from time to time, many of us have realized that the portion sizes at TV dinners simply aren't enough for the cost.

Even The Simpsons don't eat TV dinners as often as they used to. Not only that, but some of these foods contain sodium and preservatives that we don't need. Additionally, some of them contain a large dose of fat in a small tray. With more and more people opting for fresher foods, it's no surprise that sales of frozen meals aren't what they used to be. Candy Cigarettes When candy cigarettes first appeared on the scene, they were actually packaged to look like real cigarettes. At the time, tobacco companies were working with candy companies to collaborate on packaging and production.

Some large tobacco companies sent candy manufacturers copies of their labels so they could use them. Talk about promoting a bad habit among children. The reason why this one has disappeared is quite obvious. Anything that might make cigarettes tempting to kids is a no-no. As early as 1964, the Surgeon General stated that sweet cigarettes encouraged children to become interested in smoking. Current research has also indicated that children are more likely to smoke if they consume sweet cigarettes. For some of us, a sweet cigarette represents pure nostalgia. For others, it is a dangerous entry into the world of nicotine addiction.

In many countries and some US states, sweet cigarettesThey are banned entirely, unless they are packaged to look nothing like real cigarettes and are called "candy sticks."
