“What’s A Food People Don’t Make Anymore?” (35 Answers)

Come to France or Schweiz, it never went out of fashion here.

I can't make bread at home. As soon as it's cool enough (but still warm) I slather it with butter and eat it and end up eating the whole loaf within 24 hours.

This is deceptively easy to make if one uses italian meringue and a blowtorch.

This was a staple in my house, my mum used to make it for us.

My mom made this. I really like it and still have it in our dinner rotations

I still make them.

I love these things! My wife makes them from time to time, but there's never enough...

I wasn't hungry five items ago. Now I need gourmet food for breakfast. Thanks BP!

Mr Auntriarch sadly developed an upset stomach for peppers, so these are off the menu now.

I still make them occasionally

I still make these. Also stuffed tomatoes and mushrooms.

The Greeks do this best. Beef mince, rice, herbs.... They also stuff aubergines and courgettes.

I make these all the time! Delicious

We have this at least once a month...

Depends where you're from, I make them every other weekend

I love bell-peppers but stuffing them with things that will then fall out so you eat it all separately seems a bit unnecessary. Just make the fillings, put peppers in there - ta-da! Much easier (and peppers then don't get all blotchy and muddy when you leave them in the oven too long. )

My neighbor just made these about three nights ago. Probably less common though, at least in my circles. As a kid my mom made them somewhat regularly in the 60s

I still make these. And stuffed tomatoes.

My mom still makes these. So now my husband does.

I loved these in the 80 s. Not had them in a very very long time.

my mother still makes this and I still refuse to eat the peppers. Love her filling but I hate cooked peppers

I love it without the tomato sauce. Husband hates it so it's not im rotation anymore

These look yummy and I still love them today along with stuffed Beefsteak tomatoes

Love them but can only eat a tiny bit of bell peppers before I get reflux and taste them for HOURS.

Not a popular choice at restaurants and cared either. I'm a bit tired of tiramisu or creme brulee, bring me a slice of angel food

Still common here in both butchers and supermarkets!

that generation could put alcohol in / base any food on a cocktail 😂 it’s a cool era of food

I have a recipe where you take that add some flour and make patties. Served with sawmill gravy and sliced tomato.

From scratch Sloppy Joe's are miles apart from the manwich canned stuff. And very popular at potluck if you bring your crackpot to keep it hot From scratch its: red onion, chopped (must be a red onion), garlic, pepper, salt, vinegar, Worchestershire sauce, can of tomato sauce, ground beef. Serve hot on plain hamburger buns. Serve with extra napkins

Vine leaves are even better. Dolmades in Greek.

My dad still makes this.

Beanie weenies

I still eat it when I'm not feeling well

Great Fawlty Towers episode.

i wont do that

Was raised in a Catholic household back in the day when you didn't eat meat on Fridays, this was a staple dinner then.

Ambrosia is the food of the goods. It is also a brand name in the UK that make tapioca pudding, creamed rice, and custard. What the hell is that?

I used to eat the tapioca pudding at my grandparents house. All the other cousins would be sharing chocolate or what not and you got me over here head over heels getting to eat as much as I wanted because no one else wanted it XD

Love!

This is confusing to my eyes, cos my dad made al a king for me alot as a kid and he’s a French chef and it’s not this. What is this 😂

Still very common in British high street bakeries. Didn't know until just now that it's also a southern US thing, one of those rare occasions that it would appear to be almost the same on both sides of the pond. UK ones are often made in individual portions, as well as the flan sized ones.

Uh, like the national dish of Hungary?

I only ate this in TV dinner meals

Used to be cheap. No longer.

Guilty pleasure of mine. Pro-tip: filet the liver and let them soak in milk overnight in the fridge. This way the liver will lose that tangy, iron-like flavor and taste almost like a steak.

Croquettes in general!

We called them Hedgehogs in Australia, my wife used to make them using rice, mince & tomato soup

You know, it's hard to find this product

It’s hard to find veal and lamb in grocery stores anymore. But then again, considering the horrible farming practices that provided it, I’m not too upset it’s not sold in national or regional chains anymore.

?? Never heard of this one...

Dude, oxtail where I live is $15 per pound.

Wrong picture BP. That's just brown sausage gravy on toast. Different dish entirely.

Depends on what’s in it. Fruit is good, as long as it’s complementary to the Jell-O flavor. Sone of the other stuff people try to put in fruit-flavored Jell-O—fruit-flavored, not unflavored or savory gelatin—-is just disgusting.

Have never seen this

I guess it is a variation of carrot cake?

Still crave it now and again.

never heard of this one

My mother used to make this when we were kids. It was very good.

That picture is turkish pepper candy from Danmark, and black, salty licorice never went out of fashion, it is the best candy in existence.

I love honey glazed roast parsnips. I do them every time I make a Sunday Roast.
