Fondue. I only had it a couple of times, but I could really go for a fondue party!

As an old person, I say bread. People buy it, but rarely make it. Which is a pity, because fresh bread is god d**n delicious.

Baked Alaska! It's a giant cake with ice cream baked in it. I heard about it a lot in the 70's, but never actually had it until about 10-15 years ago. Very impressive presentation and super tasty!

Angel food cake. That was my birthday wish when I was a kid. Loved it with fresh whipped cream and either bananas or strawberries. Store bought just doesn’t bring back the memories of mom’s homemade.

Rarely hear about corn beef hash. And I love it. Especially with an egg on top.

Sloppy Joes with Manwich sauce were a weekly staple, haven’t disappeared completely but they’re way down.
