What’s a beloved lunch from your 1970s that seems to have disappeared over the years?
Hello. Good afternoon. I do not always love all the snacks from the 1970s that have disappeared. I prefer American snacks from the 2000s that have disappeared. Okay?
@@marklopez7775 well find a post about 2000 snacks and move along.
@@dragonwithagirltattoo598 Speaking of 2000s snacks, what is your favorite Dragon Tales episode? Please let me know in the comments down below.
Tater tot hot dish, Swanson frozen dinners, Jiffy Pop popcorn
@@tracisayhi Are those foods from the 1970s or any other decade? Please let me know in the comments down below.
That "Jiffy ground beef cornbread casserole" was called "Tamale Pie" on the Jiffy box and in cookbooks of the era.
I still love a tamale pie. Yum!
I just heard about it and started making it a few years ago. We don’t do a lot of boxed foods but it sure is nice every once in a while to have that convenience.
If you live in a cold climate, remember this recipe for those fall or winter afternoons spent leaf raking or snow shoveling. Just imagine coming back inside and getting that first whiff of tamale pie aroma wafting through the house.....
My mother would make a hot dog , cheese , macaroni casserole that was absolutely delicious.
I wasn't vibing with this video at all until he said Jiffy ground beef cornbread casserole. My ears suddenly perked up and I had to lean in and find out about this one
It’s pronounced baloney! And I don’t know where this guy lives but fried bologna is a staple in diners and family restaurants across the Midwest. Usually it is thick sliced bologna.
Yep, I have heard 2 pronunciations, but never the way adds a "Y" sound, unless you are actor Joe Bologna, who used the "Y" sound in is name.
There is a restaurant in town that is famous for smoked meat. One of their most popular menu items is a fried baloney sandwich. So good!
All artificial unfortunately
Most areas don't have it anymore. I've had it more at home than not. It's hard to find large packs of thick bologna where I'm at for example
He is pronouncing it correctly. Baloney is a redneck creation word.
Tuna melts, PB and bacon, thanksgiving sandwiches, and fried bologna and cheese sandwiches haven't disappeared.
I agree😂😂😂❤
Just because they are still popular in your region does not mean they are still popular across the country.
That's because old people still exist.
old Gens absolutely love their childhood nostalgia foods
Stuff I still eat at 50
@nixarrowman78 it's not just the old, here in Southern Appalachia, fried bologna sandwiches are even served in the schools. Everyone grew up eating them around here so even the kidos ask for them.
I'm southern and grew up in the 70's, but he lost me at tuna jello.
Sadly I remember tuna jello casserole but I assure its not a fond memory 😂
Yuck 🤮
Jello "salads" or molds were/are huge in the Midwest. Tuna in a jello mold usually isn't made with sweetened jello it is made with unsweetened gelatin. However, it is something found in a lot of cookbooks from the 70's. I have so many of my grandmother's cookbooks from the 50-80's and the 70's have a ton of savory gelatin based recipes 🤢🤮
@@dennisthurston727😆😆
That explains those old fish shaped jello molds . I always wondered about that. Now I can sleep better 60 years later.
One of my favorites as a kid was a cold, meatloaf sandwich. I liked apple butter sandwiches too.
Cold meatloaf with ketchup. Hell, yeah!
That Tuna Jello mold though😂 how can you not unsee it
Oh heck, there were far worse food items stuck into Jell-O .... disgusting most of them! Olives, coleslaw, or hard boiled eggs!
It wasn't appealing before, and that didn't help things.
I’m trying real hard. I’ll keep you posted.
I grew up in the 70’s and never heard of tuna jello mold! Yuk. Sometimes we would have green jello with grated carrots in it and that was yuk.
Wow, it took me forever to realize that one mold at 12:25 was a lobster and not something else. 😂
I've never had a pizza burger. I'll have to remedy that. A couple of these I'm actually glad I missed. Looking at you tuna jello.
Pizza burgers are pretty good, my husband's hometown has a bar that sells them!
They used to be on the school menu. I always bought lunch those days.
They’re delicious!
Some foods have no business being suspended in Jell-O.
Never heard of the Pizza Burger!
I still cant eat a turkey sammy without cranberry sauce on it. They never get tiring
I never heard of it until I saw it in a video a few months ago.
but i've never had cheese on them.
Literally have Tuna Melts, Thanksgiving Sandwiches, Pizza Burgers, and Fried Baloney sandwiches on the menu at the restaurant I work at right now and make at least 4-8 a day of each EVERY DAY.
Whoa! Where do you work?? That sounds AWESOME!!
Whoa! Where do you work? That sounds AWESOME!!
Whoah! Where do you work?? That sounds AWESOME!!
But is it everywhere? Or is your restaurant one of the few.
@@kimjung-un8204 anywhere in Connecticut for the most part
Where is the FLUFFERNUTTER? Long live the Fluffernutter sandwich 🥪!!!
Amen 🙏 ❤loved it as a kid!
Yes!
We still make the fluffernutter in our house
Again it’s a brief video, they aren’t going to show every single thing! If you love the fluffier nutter, my mom made this spread/ dip that she got out of a magazine in the 70s and, it became our favorite evening snack that we ate on spread on graham crackers, basically, take the fluffier nutter concept, except you just add a tub of thawed cool whip and, mix it up in a bowl!
Marhmellow sandwich? 😂😂
We never ever ever need tuna jello again.
Exactly
Having grown up in the 70's, I can safely say these were not all huge players. A few, sure, but some of these I have never heard of.
You lived a sheltered life, lol. Actually, I grew up in the 1960’s and ate many of these sandwiches.
@@pamelayeager2083 I wasn't alive in the 60's. and this video is about sandwiches from the 70's.
By your own admission, you were a small child during the 70’s, and possibly missed a few things.
Exactly!!! i think they are specific to little villages ..😂
@@Enoch-nn1id I grew up in the 50's and raised kids in the 70's but most of these things I never heard of. I think they must be Southern things.
Who doesn't eat a thanks giving sandwich after the holiday?
Not in long time. No leftovers.
@@Michaelfatman-xo7gv lolol, that makes sense😊
We made casseroles from the leftovers. I think Mom made a sandwich or two, but without the cranberry sauce in the sandwich or casserole.
I eat my Thanksgiving sandwiches during Thanksgiving
Two pieces of fresh loaf 🍞, Miracle Whip on both slices, lettuce, tomato,a dash of black pepper,and a couple slices of Thanksgiving Day turkey. It's still remains me of my grandmother and my still favorite sandwich to make 🥰😋🥪.
Back in the mid 70's my mom would make open faced grilled tuna , whole wheat bread lightly toasted, top with the tuna salad of your choice, a couple of hearty slices of tomato and topped with sharp cheddar, a little cracked black pepper and salt, run under the broiler until the cheese bubbled and toasted. It was DELICIOUS!
Just after WWII in the midwest, my grandfather worked in a meat plant and saw how balogna (baloney) was made. After seeing what was put into it, he banned it from his home. My mom said he told them it was too disgusting to repeat. Naturally, my mother banned it from our diet as well, and I banned it from my own home. Seeing the video of the olive loaf being made turned my stomach. It made me remember what kids at school used to say about "baloney" when I was growing up: It's made from lips and a$$holes.
Eh there's worse things in your food from the grocery store. Bugs, mouse parts, etc. lips and butts is just meat.
Shit I still enjoy a a fried bologna and cheese sandwich
White bread, bologna and cheese. Nothing else.
Just had one for lunch! Thick sliced garlic bologna on salt rising bread. Dee-lish
Red neck sandwich 🤢
As I am sure most know, these foods never went away in rural, Amish, Mennonite, Pennsylvania Dutch areas. Anyone trying make it with the prices these days, still eat these foods.
Even the curried sardines?! 🥵
I don't know about that tuna jello thing though..I'll stick with a tuna sandwich...LOL
Tunamelt on Rye is still a favorite of mine.
Thanks for sharing this 👍
Iam still Old school at age 57 And I still eat all of these foods and many other 70’s Forgotten Meals. I absolutely love cooking for leisure and entertaining friends. Many of my younger friends have always thought I’ve been a little bit weird, but when they tried some of these things and realized how good things tasted, It kind of changed their way of looking at things. Iam about as old school as it gets and happy to remain that way.
Somebody was really pushing the jello in every meal thing back in the 50s
Ot many now remember that many, many rural areas still did not have electricity until after the war. Electrification didn't reach the whole country until the late Fifties. Well, among Midwestern farm women, jello was a status symbol, it meant you had a refrigerator and the electricity to run it. So, if you had a fridge, you brought a jello salad to every church supper.
Jell-O and tuna? Sorry, that's where I draw the line.
@@gregggoss2210 yeah no doubt but there wasn't anything they wouldn't put into a Jello mold.
I'm assuming they had a neutral flavored Jello that they can spice up anyway they wanted to.
But still I won't even eat the gelatin that's in the can with the spam.
Ew that's disgusting
There were some disgusting attempts putting food into Jell-O! Plain or with fruit is the only way!
@@mistytharpe3991 at one point veggie was a jello flavor
And fried potato cakes made from left over mashed potatoes....still love those....😋😋😋😋😋
Could eat a bucket of those!! ❤
My girlfriend who is lithuanian makes those. Served with bacon cubes and sour cream. No wonder I love that woman
Rice pudding is awesome. My adult daughter still asks me to make it for her.
Restaurants don't have it anymore or if they do they don't cook the rice long enough. It's still crunchy.
😝 yuck...
@@briansmith48 oh that sounds so gross!
I still make it😋
I love rice pudding with cinnamon and raisins.
Just made this for my daughter’s gf. She loved it. We ate so much rice as kids that I never cooked it for my children or my grandkids
Many of these sandwiches I still eat. To me nothing's changed.
How’s your health?
It was celery and/or vegetable flavored gelatin used in tuna molds, not lime flavor! 😂 Those two + tomato gelatin discontinued.
Aspic 🤢
Ooh that makes sense. I was always wondering why they kept using Jello in savory salads.
Actually it's "aspic"
Uh, in my Midwest family it actually was lime.
@@curtiskimm7225 same
These are not forgotten, many are still being served.
They are forgotten most ppl have forgotten 😂
Turkey and cranberry is still my fave

My family used to love grinding bologna up with mayo and relish. Very nostalgic
Check out “simply Sarah”. I believe she does an old fashion bologna salad, which I found to be totally disgusting but I guess people love it and I’m pretty sure she’s got the legit recipe! She is a super sweet lady. I hope you enjoy her channel.😍
Just made some last week! Then did an olive loaf spread ..Bologna, green olives, mayo. Yum!!
🤢🤮
2:54 we used to make pizza burgers at a Pizza shop I worked at back in the late 70's. They were top sellers!
Who doesn’t make the turkey cranberry sandwich after thanksgiving?
In Ireland we have Turkey, cranberry and stuffing sandwiches
I definitely remember eating pizza burgers back in the 70s...
I would order a pizza burger for breakfast back in the 70's. The local greasy spoon would accommodate me every Saturday morning. I remember buying the burgers from Murry's back in the 80's. The sauce and cheese was molded into the center of the beef patties. They were pretty good for frozen food.
Brooklyn diner food at its best along with a side of french fries and brown gravy. Good times. Good times. ☮️
I don't remember them at all! West Coast, so maybe it was an East Coast and/or Mid-West item?
I haven't had a pizza burger since school lunch in the 80's
Love Tuna melts, BLT'S, Grilled cheese and fried bologna sandwiches 😊😊
Oh and can't forget sandwiches made from the Thanksgiving leftovers. 😊😊
Tuna and lime jello????????? I'm going to hurl...😨
Yeah, it's supposed to be celery Jello...
Yeah, it's supposed to be celery Jello...
I have a strong suspicion that this channel is not run by Americans. The only thing here that was even remotely "forgotten" was the tuna jello stuff. Everything else is still commonplace. Except for the "southern comfort sandwich" of peanut butter and pickles. My family is stretched far and wide across the south, and no one has ever heard of that sandwich. I have heard of it, though - from a Belgian that had never been to America 😂
I have lived all over the South, and am currently in New Orlean. The only thing I have seen even remotely as gross as pickles on a peanut butter sandwich was a fellow who liked to dunk his Little Debbie's snack cakes into a can of Underwood's deviled ham! 🤮
@@Duke_of_Prunes Holy nuggets, that’s actually scary lmao! Also, your name is fabulous 😁
@@MayimHastings Thanks! 😄
@@Duke_of_Prunes. Don’t knock it till you try it
I agree. Tuna melt omg
My mother made what was called a "puffy omelet." I didn't know how fancy we were eating until I grew up and made my first souffle. I didn't know my mother and I had been making them for years.
Some of these are good meal ideas.
Rice Pudding definitely never went away, you can still buy it pre-made in tubs at the supermarket (at least here in New England). We love it.
And on the opposite coast...
Rice Pudding was a big hit in the Roman Empire. Apparently they used it as a sea sickness cure. Don't know if it works - anybody tried it ?
I eat rice pudding often
Yes, you can even buy it! Here in the Netherlands it's in the dairy, at the supermarket!
Well now I have to make a macaroni loaf sandwich 😂
Still make melted tuna sandwiches. 🥪
I'm a 39 yr old of Irish decent. As a kid we would make sandwiches consisting of the leftovers of Thanksgiving including turkey, cranberry sauce, & my Nan's incredible homemade sausage based stuffing...Delicious. Another unbelievable leftover sandwich was roast beef w/butter & ketchup, served room temperature on white bread...YOU HEARD ME! It's even better chilled.
But rare toast beef, right?
Blimey ! 😬
Those sardines were dead twice over...
No Scandinavian would have accepted that sardine massacre...
Also a half filled tin is a rip off ! 😠
👩🦳🇳🇴
Don’t Scandinavians eat lutefisk? That stuff is disgusting.
Tusen Takk
Det stemmer.
I just bought olive loaf. I love it!
Where did you find it? Its always been my fave.
@@0216chw Harris Teeter or Publix.
@@0216chwAnywhere that carries Boar's Head meats should have it. My local Publix deli department has it and it's delicious
I loved a bologna sandwich as a child, especially fried lol.❤
Homemade pimento cheese sandwich is still my favorite.
I miss the glorious pancake potato coffee breakfasts where you got GENUINE (I THINK) variety syrups!
Tuna Melts are delicious 😋 My grandma used to make these 😊
You can still find these in many small roadside diners and school cafeterias, even in food sections of places like Walgreens and Target. Olive Loaf is still sold in grocery stores. Chil Cheese Dogs can be found at the fast food place Wienerschnitzel, and are easily made at home
Whenever our church would have a potluck, one dear lady would always bring ground bologna and relish and she’d say “Here’s the ham salad”. ❤
I used to LOVE olive/pimiento loaf sandwiches ❤
I still do now and again ❤❤
For some reason back in the day, in Indiana, we called it pickle loaf. I could see it was sliced olives/pimentos, but still it was called pickle loaf.
@@jeffreypetro3803you can buy pickle loaf which is just pickles and bologna.
@@colleencrowl1543 I didn't say it contained pickles, I said they called it pickle loaf but it had olives & pimentos in it. They still sell it here, Oscar Mayers, with olives & pimentos, & still call it pickle loaf.
We called it a pickle loaf. That's it. End of story.
Love the way you have made this video seem so retro. Even though I'm British I feel a pang of American nostalgia, an amazing feat, thank you.
Welcome to some of our treasured memories.
Well the young lady with the tinted purple hair and the lady with the dark nail polish makes it obviously a redo.
Cheers from Brazil, this channel is amazing.
Brought back some childhood memories. But the food "bologna" is pronounced as baloney, not like "Bologna" the city.
Remember Sissy Spacek in Coal Miners Daughter? She called it poor man's steak.
It's not. You've pronounced it wrong your entire life
Computer generated narration doesn't care about proper pronunciation.
@@Grigsy It IS! You've been pronouncing it wrong !!!!
With the tuna mold, what is that mold shape supposed to be?🤔 A fish, an arrow, or something else???
I think it’s supposed to be a big lobster 🤣🤣🤣
Yes,giving phallic vibes 😂
Lobster, utterly gross.
Lobster mold I believe
A lobster....Wither didst thy mind wander to, you rapscallion?🤪
❤❤❤❤❤❤ why can’t we just keep all this in mind? It doesn’t have to disappear!!!
They haven’t in my house, except for maybe that sardine sandwich😣
Some need to dissappear. 😂😂😂 just kidding I know everyone likes different stuff.
@@loraann54fi10 Lol, true & for me some of those dishes never hv even made an appearance. But, as you say we all hv different taste, someone probably loves that sardine sandwich and that olive loaf with potted meat sandwich.
@@rainydaydiva6320 well I mean, if you have the ability you can always try to do it yourself right? 🤤
Actually, I have a tin of sardines in my refrigerator XD it’s like the most random thing in there because I heard they were healthy so I bought some
@@loraann54fi10 no you’re absolutely right because some of these sound super sketchy -but the fried bologna and spam ones I wouldn’t mind trying! I love a good sandwich and a cheap meal is always nice Am I right?
I LOVE olive loaf but it's so damn hard to find anymore.
You have to add a little nutmeg to the rice pudding
About 60 years ago, my uncle made rice pudding and put in too much nutmeg. It tasted like dish soap! Lean times...we ate it anyway!!
I love thanksgiving sandwiches.
I miss tamale pie! I ate it alot as a kid, and it's one of my favorite foods
Sandwiches I enjoyed in the 50's and 60's
1. cold meatloaf on toast with catsup
2. open faced roast beef or hamburger steak sandwich with mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy'
3. the Dagwood sandwich-anythin in the fridge that fit between two pieces of bread
4. hot roost beef on french roll au jus with horseradish and mustarf5.
5. Daikon radishes sliced lengthwis on buttered bread with salt and pepper
6. Deviled eggs salad sandwiches
7. Buffalo fish sandwiches
8. Bacon and melted cheddar with onion, tomato and barbeque sauce on toast
9. Liverwurst with a slice of thin onion and mayo on rye bread and a glass of beer
10. Ham and hot mustard on rye.
11. pickled herring or sardines with cream cheese and sweet deli pick;led cucumbers on Danish rye crackers
12.Peannt buter and honey on cinnamon toast.
I love this channel ❤
I believe the egg foo young sandwich is called a St. Paul sandwich. Sounds good to me!
It is. A staple of Chinese take-away in St.Louis.
I am so thankful that I never came across the bologna boat
That first tuna and jello salad mold is inappropriate. 🤣💀
Cream cheese and olive sandwiches
Ah, yes yes yes. I remember those from my earliest years in nursery school. 😋 yummy
Cheese Frenchee at King's Food Host was a delight. Their breaded onion rings were good as well. King's died roughly October 1976.😢😢
Yes. I remember King's in Omaha, Nebraska. . I used to LOVE tuna melts on Saturday!
Hello, I enjoyed the video. I remember some of the recipes. Trader Joe’s put out a tamale pie recipe some years ago using their corn bread mix. I still make it tamale pie, but usually make the corn bread topping from scratch.
I can’t recall any 1970’s lunches that you haven’t already shown. But here’s an appetizer I made as a teenager for my brothers’s going away party. It would have been around 1974 and I think the recipe came on a Danola ham package. You cut the crust off a slice of white bread and then flattened it with a rolling pin if I recall correctly. Next you spread mayonnaise on each slice before placing a slice of Danola brand ham on it. Then you placed one canned asparagus spear at one end of the bread and rolled it up. Last you stuck a colorful toothpick😅 in the roll to hold it all together. Everyone enjoyed the rolls and we made them for several more occasions 😊😊 They were pretty tasty!
That actually sounds very tasty!
…Steak’ems!!!
…Potted Meat Sammich!!!
…Minced BBQ Sammich!!!
…Slice of Sunbeam Bread with Pizza Sauce & shredded cheese on top & grilled to perfection!!!
I don’t think Steak’ums existed in the 70s.
Teddy is either starving or he’s pregnant 😂.
J/K Teddy 😊
@@crosisofborg5524yes they did
Mac n cheese with tuna and peas, yum
That fried bologna sandwich looked great!
I'm making my tuna melt while watching this video. Italian white bread with sesame seed, cheese on both slices with tuna ,then a layer of sweet bread butter pickles and more tuna. Yummy.
If there is ever a video about foods we're all glad to see the back of, I'd nominate frosted sandwich loaf.
There are a few Chain sandwich shops that do the turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce sandwich. Capriotti’s “Bobbie” and Earl of Sandwich “holiday turkey sandwich”
When using an older recipe that calls for canned tuna, know that today's small cans are only 5 oz. Back in the 70s they were 7.5 oz so you'll need to adjust. If the recipe calls for 2 small cans, use 3 of today's cans. Shrinkflation.
Tuna jello needed to be stopped!🚫🐟
That Tuna Mold… Looks Kinda Suspicious! 🙄
I love rice pudding.
Fish kedgeree,
Tinned beef hash,were some of my 70's favs......
Never heard of some of these items. I was a teen in 1970s. Our school cafeterias did not make these meals either.
I'm a "hey, boomer" from 1957 and the only things in this vide I've even seen or heard of are the tuna melt generally only available at diners and lunch counters; turkey and cranberry sauce sandwiches (from a deli and with cream cheese added, our own turkey sandwiches growing up just had some mayo); peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches which actually I thought I had invented; and olive loaf sandwiches made with pre-sliced cold cuts (which I didn't like.)
I love the sloppy Joe day's in elementary, middle and high school. As somebody who just turned 56 I had sloppy Joe's about a week ago lol
I am 60 and never had any of these growing up, LOL
Me too, never had a turkey, bologna, sardine, olive loaf,peanut butter & jelly, spam or what ever else they are going to say next!😊 We ate grilled cheese, salami or ham. Real food.
Let's not forget the spaghetti sandwich and the lima bean sandwich with mayonnaise and cheese 🧀 what a tasty sandwich 🥪🤤
Leftover pizza ingredients rule. Pizza Burgers, Pizza Dogs, Pizzadillas, Pizza Crescent Rolls... I could go on, all day.
As an American kid, I was overseas for most of the '70's. Fish stick sandwich is the only thing I find appetizing now (FiletOFish). I might've appreciated the other offerings if I experienced them. :)
And here we are again= looking for these versatile sandwiches =budget friendly
Hey, that's Chef Jean-Pierre diving into that tuna sandwich in the very beginning. Some of these sound pretty good but I would use whole grain bread whenever its strong, nutty flavor won't interfere with the other sandwich components. I still eat wheat toast with peanut butter and chopped cooked turkey bacon for breakfast with coffee. Rice pudding is a breakfast option, especially brown rice, in a slow cooker overnight.
Fish sticks on a bun with ketchup is still a thing in my house.
I never liked much cold cuts. As a kid i liked olive loaf once in a while. I liked genoa salami and pepperoni, hot sausage, kosher salami and kosher bologna, mozzarella pinwheels
Ive never heard of raviolis sandwiches.
Cheese souffle might be good if made with cheese i like.
My mom made my dad many pizza burgers.
The slloppy joe casserole sound good.
Im a very picky eater and most of these foods i wouldnt eat.
Thanks for sharing foods from years before.
We made bologna sandwiches for lunch every week growing up. Getting the perfect burn took practice, lol. Built them like a BLT…delicious!!!
One of my favorite Sandwich is just Blue Plate Mayo and Bananas!
Grilled cheese sandwich and chicken noodle soup. My family (not me) liked peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I would just eat a peanut butter sandwich with a banana on the side.
I tried to hang in there, I really did. Started strong with the tuna melt. But the olive loaf, the Spam, the ravioli sandwich, and the tuna jello had me gaggin.
Mrs. Paul's fish sticks!! I lived on these from 1969-1977. Plenty of tartar sauce was a must. And I still love tuna melts to this day.
Frying bologna always brought out the salt taste in the product and combined with the greasy aftertaste never failed to induce a stomach upsetting reaction in me as a child that affects me to this day.
I did and still do love Chef Boyardee ravioli and spaghetti and meatballs
How badass was the pineapple/Spam lady? She was wearing a brass knuckle thing on her left hand.
Tuna melts are alive and well in many restaurants on the Oregon coast. However, no one would dare use canned tuna here.
Wow, some of them are so easy to do... Not for every day of course (we don't want to look like a Goodyear Blimp😊), but when you are in a hurry....
Me? I love peanut butter and I love pickled gurken so I made one of these sandwiches! Delicious with a cup of coffee. Because, did you know that peanut butter and coffee complement each other? The peanut butter taste more nutty and the coffee will taste like a luxury cup of mocka.... Absolutely beautiful!
We ate stuff like these almost daily in the 70s and obesity wasn't rampant. Adults and kids were much more active back then and physical labor more abundant. I'm a Boomer and I ate a lot of bologna, hotdogs, and peanut butter sandwiches as a kid in the 60s and 70s. I haven't had bologna since I turned 18 - ugh!! Used to love grilled tuna salad and cheese sandwiches in the 80s as it was a cheap, filling lunch. I can't stans tuna now as smells too much like cat food.
