WWII left the world in a state of chaos and poverty. The 1950s saw people adapt to the food shortage with, um, creative recipes.
Let’s take a look at some of the weirdest and grossest foods of the 1950s.

I always thought my Mom was a terrible cook, but after seeing this, I guess she was just going along with the times.
Lmfaoo
Must've been an..."interesting" dinner table.😏
Wow! How would people rate your cooking, nowadays ? Just wondering...🤔
You never say that about your mom. Shame!

Meatloaf with baked ketchup is a family favorite to this day. The others... uh, no.
Hello
Yes, we licked our plates clean then handwashed the dishes. Seriously, food portions were much smaller and we walked everywhere. Much less was sold ready-made so most everything was made from scratch. Yes, all kids collected pop bottles to buy candies or a bag of chips. We had only one small garbage can, very little was thrown away. The dog always ate our scraps. He ate better than some people today.
hello how are you
There’s nothing wrong with meatloaf (ground beef/veal/pork). It’s delicious and is great with new potatoes roasted in the broth with onions
That sounds great...
You are correct but when you have more filler than meat, it’s cheap and so much that it’s not quite what you’re probably thinking
I agree.
Leave meatloaf alone. It's delicious.
Try meatloaf with a brown sugar glaze. Yummy
There's no way in Hell that these foods, like "Bologna Cake" were "popular dishes" in the 50s. This is the worst of the worst recipes from a few bad cookbooks. The fake 1950s footage is bad, too.
She didn’t peel the plastic from the bologna slices.
It''s a kid doing it.
Yeah, I noticed that too! 🤣
😂
Definitely having a Ugly Sweater and vintage 50's Jello Mold Christmas party this year. Gotta make that bologna cake 🤣
If you don't post pictures and notify me, Imma be really unhappy 🤣. Oh! Don't forget to require with a 50s or 60s hair style...the housewife variety (not the teens🤣).
Omg!! She didn’t even take the red outside liner off the bologna when she was making the cake. This was an awesome video thanks so much
Back then it was a natural animal casing (not plastic like today) perfectly eatable.
We as a large family, Aunt's, Uncle's, and cousins, were all blessed during this time. We had two Aunt's that owned stores, and family members that always had large gardens, that shared. All my cousins, hunted and fished, so there was always meat. We were a Southern family so I believe we had options, people up north didn't have.
"Drink at least a quart of milk a day."
Dear God. 😳
not to mention eight glasses of water.
Ah, stick your milk!
lactose intolerant, I refused. Got tired of f@rtin' like a Clydesdale and then cr@ppin' my pants after a (forced on me) glass of milk. Today I have to have new pants cut off a couple inches. I'm all of 5'5" (and only 135#, btw)
Some of those gelatin dishes bring the old saying, "Just because you CAN do it, DOESN'T mean you should." 🤢🤮
meat preserved in jelly is actually an ancient thing
If you listen closely to Pazuzu’s reverse speech in The Exorcist, you will hear most of these Jello recipes.
😆
😂🤣😆😂🤣😆
I love how they say “stress free” but all those presentations look very stressful to me 😂
These foods sound strange, but they're healthier than eating McNuggets every day.
Those nuggets contain ground up beaks and cloacas.
Actualy, no. They are not. McNuggets are healthier than you think, and these abominations are far worse for you thank you know.
Meatloaf is delicious, especially with chili sauce (Heinz) or Heinz ketchup. My mother mixed the meatloaf with onions , peppers and breadcrumbs, eggs. Always came out delicious! I modified with ground turkey and use the Heinz chilli sauce mixed in the meat and on top. No one can tell it’s not ground beef of meatloaf mix. More healthier. Meatloaf is still a hit for most large families, cost effective and delicious! 😊
in the usa there was not any meat shortages in the 50`s
A money shortage
Jamaicans eat chicken foot soup lol I used to eat it growing up and now I literally can't get it anywhere and have to beg my dad to make it lol and he refuses saying it's poor people food lol
Chicken feet can sometimes be found in Chinese buffets... but so can other nasty stuff, like roaches.
Living in California, we always had an abundance of fresh food. My mom cooked wonderful tasty meals and we never used bread as a filler. We occasionally had the jello salad though.
Nothing weird about regular meatloaf. Spam is also excellent.
Funny that people from those days have lived or are still living longer than people today.
Yeah all those preservatives are keeping them alive
Hello 👋
People back then were more healthy than today
Great video! Our family, and I, continue to eat a few of these. lol Great memories.
I love meatloaf and would sell my left arm to have my mom be able to cook me one
Loved the info. Very interesting. Can you make a video about other food eras.like mideval times food? Not sure if i spelled that right
Ummm...meatloaf is made all over the world to this day, so why is it weird for you?
Mom used to make something called "Mexican scramble" . In a skillet brown and drain pound hamburger. Add 1 can corn, 1 can black pitted olives, some chili powder, salt and pepper .We had 1 can of Chun king for "Chinese" .etc.
They seemed to have a fascination of making food look like other food for some reason
The Jello with carrots, celery etc showed up at our family reunions through the 70s, my Aunt seemed to love it, me and my cousins not so much lol I do remember some other variations when I was young in the 60's. No Jello with meat though just mixed fruits which is pretty good.
3:42
Grew up then, never heard of any of this.
These must be the most disgusting recipes pulled from Betty Crocker and the TV guide.
I still make my grandmoms lime jello with a splash of vinegar, add shredded cabbage and carrots.
It is very delicious and crunchy. I have turned many younger people onto it, just by tasting.
Food shortages in the 1950's??? I missed that.
As a child in the 50s I remember no shortage, but I do remember govt surplus products in home and school kitchens. At that time it seemed quite normal. I realize now as an old adult what that means.
Least favorite: creamed chip beef; liver and onions. Most favorite: Spaghetti and moms meat sauce.
I was surprised to see something from Romania. We still make something like that. It's called "răcitură", and it's basically a soup stock where we add a lot of chicken feet and parts with high gellatine content, and of course at the end when we put in bowl we add minced garlic.
Honestly it's a really good cold meal
auntie made jello foods. from salads to shrimp to the fruit cocktail types.
Wait what's so weird about MEATLOAF?
it's not true that all jellies were sweet as you say, there were ways to set gelatine without using lime jello widely available even back then.
SPAM FRITTERS SOUND GOOD THO
I'm damn glad I wasn't around in the 50s. Those foods are sickening.
My family used to make something called tomato aspic. Most of my family loved it. I thought it was horrendous. It was made with gelatin tomato juice with green olives and other savory veggies. It was however pretty to look at. Jello molds shaped like chickens and lobster.
The gelatin with lemon gelatin I still have my mothers recipe he’s been dead for 10 years I still wish I could have it it grew on me with age. My mom topped it with miracle whip mixed with horseradish sounds crazy but I really liked it as I got older usually had it with roast beef
I found a vintage cookbook and I'm making the tomato aspic tomorrow! I'm excited!

Just looking at the Jell-O dishes gives me goose bumps lol
There's something to be said for meat floating in jelly. It's magnificent
Yeah? Ask the Solomons what they think about it.
Powered milk on Jell-O was a rare treat in the 50's
What was the deal with covering everything in jello? Sure cheap, fast, easy but theres a boundary lol. Meatloaf is just a large loaf meatball if you make it right.
Only thing I remember my Mom putting in jello was pineapple 🍍 in lime jello...she did that alot.
Pasteurization, although it is in fact a way to insure that milk is free from harmful bacteria and potential pathogens and safe to drink, is often pointed to as the reason for lactose intolerance. The standard 180° destroys enzymes that aid in digesting milk. Homogenization is also suspect, as the process changes the molecular structure of the milk. Low temperature pasteurization is sometimes used by smaller farms in an effort to preserve some of the enzymes while still killing harmful bacteria, and of course culturing milk reduces lactose.
I didn't grow up in the 50's. This MUST have been what times were like when my Dad was a kid.
Hey, don't s*it pig ears and chicken feet! They taste great.
Wow , this used to come out at Christmas all the time ,,
I mean, lol this isn’t even imaginable today. Looking back, it just looks like a competition of who could make the worst foods..
America in the 50's was a time of abundance not scarcity. Asians/Native Americans have high levels of lactose intolerance. Average life expectancy in America in 1950 was 67.5 years that is why retirement age was set at 65. Today it is 78.8. It has gone up every year since 1865 save for war or pandemic. American life expectancy dipped between 1860 and 1865 because we had a little disagreement between the States.
Dinner party recipe ideas
I have always loved gelatine salads, and still do. The only ones that I hated were the ones with shredded lettuce and/or shredded cabbage. You couldn't eat them with a spoon, nor a fork, but had to cut the strands with a knife! Kids hated that.
I seriously doubt those lactose intolerance figures that you put up. I never knew anybody who was lactose intolerant in my whole life until the 1980s. Same goes with gluten intolerance. These seem more like invented medical conditions put out by the '' health'', (drug) industry.
We ate a lot of creamed chip beef and a concoction Mom made with white sauce, peas, tuna and hard boiled eggs served over waffles.
I like the lime cheese salad as do my children. It is also anice money saver. Just put it on some ritz crackers!!
Don’t people still eat meatloafs? We love them.
It was like watching an episode of fear factor🤭
Seriously I’m nauseous 😂
Hi. I'd like to see fashions from the 50s and 60s, including high fashion. Thanks.
Please mention Jessica Vill for the clips from her CZcams channel
Lol, I started gagging at 3:00 !
learnt so much from this wtf
The jello stuff seems pretty interesting to me
The first video in history that iv liked (at 21 seconds) before iv even watched lol
2099 - weird foods people ate in 2022!
I was a small 8 yr. Old. I was send to my grandmother I saw me.
Made it her mission to feed me vitamins with what ever she fed me. I gained so much much weight my mother was scared she put on diet. Immediately when I came home.
Thank god my mother never made any of that jello stuff.
I don't think we had any of these in the UK . We still had rationing in the fifties
And to this day, I hate Jello, especially lime. My 80+ year old father loved Wonder Bread.
God forbid if the Solomons (Third Rock) saw that jello this-jello that part. They'd freak.
Well... at least its healthier than greasy food you get in fast food chains
As a kid we weren't allowed "seconds". Had to save food for the next night.
Chicken bodies were pretty difficult to acquire all except their feet 😂😂😂 claws were a non optional addition 😂
I recently saw a package of them at walmart labeled "Chicken paws". Paws..chicken paws..
Wait..."Canned unicorn"? Hahaha
bangers and mash!
Ive had meatloaf, and while i get its an interesting food, i never got past 2 slices
Oh gawd- I actually stopped after watching tuna, or shrimp in jello. I starting feeling ill. Seriously...I just don't get the jello part.
Lime cheese salad 🥗😋
Spray cheese in the 50's? I don't remember it, or seeing it advertised. Also, what's so weird about fish and chips? The same goes for hamburgers and fries.
better than the food now..and the people weren't obese.
And there is nothing "weird" about meatloaf.
I think it was how they presented it in that era
hum, definetly not better than the food now ... you do know that you can eat other than fast food ...
I…I…I hate aspic
Meatloaf no longer cheap
3:35 OMG she left the plastic on the bologna?
I've never had meatloaf
I remember the year my got his first 100. Ok dollar take home pay. Was small enough I could not eat full meal. And I hated children meals.
Barely 3 minutes in and I already feel 🤢
Wait ....... all those jellos were..... sweet?? Oh man
Flavorless geletin was available as it ia now
I will never make any recipe with jello 🤢
2:28 k thank good there wehre any other foods besides Jello
Jello mcdonalds
Yeah these recipes are criminal
Outside of getting government food from time to time I heard my folks at pretty well
Swanson's tv dinners were good back then .
The shrimp roll looks nice, minus the olive I guess
Not gonna lie, I want spam fritters
Oh my goodness, thank goodness my mom never fed us this stuff. Nd we were poor.
out of curiosity, anyone here from SNL?
i thought after world war 2 people were living in a golden age?
