I'd love to time travel back to the past. Heck, even visiting the 40s, 50s, 60s, to actually feel, as an adult, the contemporary zeitgeist would be fascinating.
Just … let me bring my own food supplies, okay?

Those are all too sophisticated for my family. I remember thinking all veggies except corn came from a can.
Never heard of most of those, but the sandwich loaf with the cream cheese “icing?” Absolutely, and there isn’t really any “icing,” it’s just softened cream cheese. It was a standard dish for ladies’ luncheons for years. Something “fancier” than just serving ham salad and egg salad sandwiches. It was never the Loaf Everything that bothered me, it was the Put Everything In Jell that gave me the creeps!
@Ellie – My wife tells of when she lived in Indiana, and that you could only tell the desserts from the salads at the buffet by what was floating around in the Jello.
I had Beef pudding as a kid in the 70s. Good North London working class food. Also Steak and Kidney Pudding.
Suet was a wonderfood back then. Bacon roly-poly; like a swiss roll, but a sheet of suet with bacon on top, then rolled.
Jam Roly-poly – same but with Jam instead of bacon.
@Dave – Had the same experience, and I’m in Western New York. One thing that didn’t make that list, probably because it was cultural, was the creamed salt cod fish (came in a wooden box) on mashed potatoes, served in a great many Roman Catholic households on Fridays, in my area.
