    I'm a 60's kid; born in '56..NEVER heard of Miracle Whip and peanut butter sammiches until I packed my late husband's lunch everyday. He requeted them, looked at me as if I had 2 heads because I'd never heard of that. BTW, he came from a family of banking executives; I was the poor kid from south of the tracks. Yhanks for that great memory of him.😊

    I grew up poor in the 70's and never had ANY of these for breakfast; mush, ramen, b. and gravy, potato pancakes, rice a roni, breakfast in a can, scrapple, grits, wheat honeys, I hated captain crunch, beans and corn bread, hamburger helper (not for breakfast), no bologna for breakfast, mayo and p.b., eggs and mushroom soup, creamed tuna ,never grilled cheese for breakfast, never ate a casserole, nor sardines?
    * cinn toast was the only thing on this entire list that I ate but only when I was sick
    ^ a couple of these were lunch items like grilled cheese or bologna
    ^ Had hamburger helper for dinner a few times, I believe it had tvp (soy) in it
    * As adult: Ramen and potato pancakes which I love
    For breakfast I ate fried egg, toast with jam, and tea, weekends French toast or pancakes/waffles, and holidays, add bacon and sometimes pastries.

    When I was a kid in the 50's and 60's , my favorite breakfast treat was "SOGGY TOAST" .
    "SOGGY TOAST" is made by putting an excessive amount of butter on bread and putting
    it into a broiler oven for a few minutes . When it is done , I would put on some jam , jelly ,
    or preserves . Sometimes I would put on some honey . The middle was soggy and the
    edges were crispy .
    I make it today by putting an excessive amount of butter on bread and put it into a micro
    wave oven for thirty seconds per slice and then put it into a toaster for a few minutes . YUM !

    Fried cornmeal mush is DELICIOUS!!! My grandmother, from Kentucky, made it all the time, it was a staple for them, along with grits, biscuits n gravy and cornbread in milk! All delicious! Potato pancakes were always for dinner at our house, along with salmon patties! Corned beef hash was big, too, but it's so expensive now, lol😂 SOS, or chipped beef gravy over toast or biscuits was also big- it was super cheap to make and yummy ❤

    When I ate Ramen noodles in the 80’s, I only ate the noodles and not the spice packets. Instead, I sautéed onions and peppers, possibly other vegetables in olive oil and missed in the noodles. It was great.

      We used noodles, no seasoning package, but added cream of mushroom soup, and sandwich meat slices, my wife craved it while pregnant with my son. So that’s what it was called. We haven’t had in 30 years now, way to much sodium.

    My parents had a restaurant in the 1970s in Central Nebraska. Biscuits and gravy was the traditional recipe we all know. Once I started cooking for it myself in the early 90s I made plenty of batches.

    Back in the 70's for me here in Oklahoma when I was a kid my breakfasts were either oatmeal or cereal along with crispy bacon, toast either with butter or jelly and a glass of milk this was pretty much my breakfast throughout the 70's

    Half of these are not breakfast- cornbread n beans was definitely a staple from my southern grandmother, but it was cooked pinto beans or great northerners, not baked beans, and for dinner, not breakfast. Hamburger Helper and Ramen, nope, we didn't eat that, but it was also dinner. Fried bologna sandwiches and fried peanut butter sandwiches, also lunch or dinner! We also used bologna and chopped it fine and made bologna salad, with mayo and relish- yummy!

    I had most of these meals growing up. But I never liked grilled cheese or sardine sandwich. Mayo and peanut do not go together. My mom would add pancake flour to her potato pancakes. I also never had Captain Crunch cereal, parents thought it had to much sugar. I don't remember Ramen being around in the 70's.

    Ok from PA and Scrapple is a main stay for breakfast not fading, I am a 70's kid, ate cereal, pancakes, oatmeal, French Toast, Eggs and even Cinnamin Toast. Rest of the stuff excluding the Southern Breakfast items. I ate for dinner or lunch, and gag at Peanutbutter and Miracle Whip and I loathe Miracle Whip

    The miracle whip and peanut butter was a propaganda stunt. Its was saying that you could eat miracle whip with anything. They had different combinations of commercials using miracle whip. That part is wrong. But your videos are a great nostalgia of the past

      The ridiculous "food" that many people aet for breakfast now never existed before the mid-1960s. My mother would give us big bowls of beef stew, or potato soup, or leftover spaghetti---all of them warmed up on the stove top, microwave ovens not yet existing back in the 1950s and 60s---and she'd make up hot biscuits or lots of toast to go with.
      Every kid I knew and went to school with ate the same way, and such things as (GROSS!) pig meat, eggs and toast were only for a holiday morning breakfast.

    And today you cannot buy cornmeal in a grocery store. Large agri corps have bought out packagers and leave you only able to get corn meal mix laced with additives you may oh may not want. Or, you can pay a premium price for artisinal ground corn where a small sack costs the same as a restaurant meal for two.
    Corporate grocers do not stock simple staple ingredients. You make more money off over processed factory glop.

      Corporations buying out regional companies and shutting them down is something I find irritating. A wholesale version of opening corporate grocery chain and cutting prices until locally owned businesses are run out then hiking the prices once local commerce has no other options.

    That is way complicating cinnamon toast. Toast your bread in the toaster. Slather with butter. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on it-liberally, and smoosh it in with the back of a spoon. No oven needed.

    • @SharonWhitfield-p2j
      @SharonWhitfield-p2j 2 дня назад

      Wrong! That is not how you make cinnamon toast. You put butter on a slice of bread. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and place in the broiler. This caramelizes the sugar giving it a crispy texture. While the bottom is still soft.
