I know that foodies get their share of hate, and a lot of it is justified, especially when they invent constant new trends and allergies and other stuff to make life more complicated for us. On the other hand, does anyone remember the 1980s? I remember being a kid in the 1980s and eating baloney sandwiches on white bread. With maybe a slice of American cheese. Or maybe just eating American cheese slices straight. We had two competing brands of peanut butter, Skippy and Jif, and both were loaded with sugar. When I was in elementary school, the fancy kids had Capri-Suns, which (along with Sunny-D) was probably considered a health food because it contained 2% fruit juice. In kindergarten, the teacher told parents to save velveeta boxes for school supplies, because of course every housewife would cook with velveeta. Even at the lower end of the scale, there were two fast food restaurants: McDonalds and Burger King. Pizza hadn't even really become a thing yet. TACO BELL was exotic. And in most towns, or even cities, the most exotic cuisine you could probably find was the local Chinese restaurant. Basically, unless you lived in maybe San Francisco or New York, you were stuck eating the same bland, processed foods forever and thinking that a trip to an All-You-Can-Eat seafood restaurant was fancy. So as much as we might look down on foodies, go eat a mayonnaise sandwich and tell me the occasional bursts of pretention aren't worth it.

My favorite is porkchops, cooked in an oven until grey and the hunks of fat on the edge are rubbery and tasteless, with zero seasoning. And anything involving cream of mushroom soup.

remember how it used to be impossible to open capri suns and then they changed the material the hole was made out of. we had a lady in our cafeteria whose job it was just to help open capri suns.

As someone pointed out, I was too poor to afford Capri-Suns when I was a kid. I just had to look on with jealousy as the other kids had this totally radical idea of juice-lite that came in a bag. I do remember that the hard core kids would puncture their Capri-Suns in the middle, rather than in the designated puncturing spot, and that was pretty gnarly, back in 1988.

I was raised in a household with parents that still knew how to cook so I never ate that garbage. I know what you are talking about though because I had a neighbor friend who ate mustard sandwiches (mustard, lettuce and white bread). They were super poor also (we all were) and the mother worked as a lunch lady in a school cafeteria so they also always had the foil pack lunches that were leftover.

Pizza was loving huge and my family went to Round Table every week so I don't know what your talking about with that poo poo. But you're basically right American food used to be absolute and utter crap. I remember McDonald's bringing out "Asian" sauces for McNuggets and making a big deal about it. They even gave you chopsticks.

AKA Pseudonym posted:Pizza was loving huge and my family went to Round Table every week so I don't know what your talking about with that poo poo. What year were you born? It might have been geographical: like in the New York region, pizza-by-the-slice had been a thing since the 1930s or whenever Italians started crossing into the mainstream. And then pizza came back with soldiers from Italy in the 1940s. But I was born in 1979, and pizza didn't become a thing until I was somewhere in elementary school. Like, that was when Pizza Hut and Dominoes became big chains, and delivery pizza became a standard middle class way to celebrate things. There was also the "fun" pizza parlors (Chuck E Cheese was one, but there was lots of local types) that you got to go to play video games and that type of thing, but that was a treat. I also don't remember frozen pizza being real big until 1990 or so. Maybe my memories are off from being poor?

The only thing you need to do to realize how much better lovely casual dining is today than it was in the past is compare the menus for the two Hulk Hogan themed restaurants. http://www.wrestlecrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Hulk-Hogan-Pastamania-Menu-3.jpg vs http://www.hogansbeachtampa.com/_uploaded_files/hogansf_hr-1.pdf AKA Pseudonym posted:I was born in '76. Come to think of it I'm not sure I remember having pizza until I was in the first grade. So '82 or so. And we got it pretty regularly. So maybe California was early cause my family certainly wasn't rich in 1982 . Stuff moves from the coasts in. I remember driving through flyover states to get to Yellowstone and there being maybe one pizza place every few towns or so. Hell, the place where I am from didn't get a delivery capable pizza place until like 2002 or so. El Estrago Bonito fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Jun 21, 2015 |

So maybe California was early cause my family certainly wasn't rich in 1982 . Yeah, there was a pizza parlor in our town (that I just remembered now), and I remember going there when I was younger than 5, so before 1984. Not to say there wasn't pizza, but going to that pizza parlor (that was probably just using processed cheese and cheap pepperoni), was like, a big trip. Maybe this is through the eyes of a kid, but there wasn't big pizza chains yet, each pizza parlor was usually independently owned and had its own theme. It was quite a treat to even get cheap pizza! Then around 1985 or so Domino's and Pizza Hut started breaking out to the point where Pizza was the most popular fast food.

Yeah man, stupid fusion garbage and dumb foodies didn't exist in the 80's. "Squid ravioli in a lemon grass broth with goat cheese profiteroles. Arugula Caesar salad. Swordfish meat loaf with onion marmalade. Rare roasted partridge breast in raspberry coulis with a sorrel timbale. Grilled free-range rabbit with herb french fries. Peanut butter soup with smoked duck and mashed squash (“New York Matinee called it a ‘playful but mysterious little dish.’") Great sea urchin ceviche. Pork loin with lime jell-o. Mud soup and charcoal arugula." - a book making fun of 80's douches
