The more eccentric end of the gastronomical spectrum of the '60s can be defined by Jell-o dominated meals, weird chicken dishes, cocktail party appetizers (like the infamous onion dip), fluffy desserts, and anything Julia Child. These may sound weird, but they were delicious. Get ready to take a stroll down memory lane as we enumerate ten of the most iconic recipes that made the 1960s an even better decade than it already was.
1. Yes, There Was An Instant Onion Soup Dip Mix, And It Was Iconic
People who lived through the 1960s can drop into an instant state of nostalgia at the mention of onion dip. It was so wildly popular at the time that there was a need for an instant product; hence the invention of Lipton’s Onion Soup/Dip Mix.
2. Gelatin Encased Not Just Desserts But Salads!
It wouldn't be a 1960s feast without at least one element of the meal encased in Jell-O. Desserts and Salads were oftentimes encased within these gelatin molds.
3. Grape Jelly And Meatballs, Can You Believe It?
The '60s was a glorious point in time, and it wouldn't have been quite so unique without its iconic Swedish meatballs in grape jelly. Now that's something we're curious to try!
