badger

lemon meringue pie, Linzer torte, ladyfingers

Sara, I remember ice milk! It was born in 1959 so it must have been around in the 60's too.

I also remember when yogurt was a little-known health food and TCBY was "this can't be yogurt." Now it's "the country's best yogurt." 'Course, I also remember when McDonald's was new and actually kept track of the number of burgers it sold. Now their signs say billions and billions served.

Sara536

marshmallows, milk shake

Badger, I just looked it up - less fat but same sugar. Apparenly now sold as low-fat ice cream. But now I don't like so much sugar. Sice you're in WI, do you remember when the dairy industry insisted that margarin could not be sold with color added to imitate real butter? It came in a plastic pouch with a food color pellet to mix in. Kids loved squishing it around.

Kaption

Nestles chocolate bar, and, according to Wikipedia nun's puffs aka num's farts" very light puffy cookies) Ha!

Sara536

badger

peanut butter cookies, pecan pie, pralines

Sara, I'm not a WI native but have heard about contraband oleo.

My mom remembers getting white oleo with the color dot during WWII and said she hated squishing it.

Sara536

Quince and Apple Pudding

Badger, maybe she associated it with wartime deprivations and rationing. I think It was a defensive measure by the dairy industry to stifle competition. Yellow margarin was always available to us just over the border in Illinois (much later than wartime of course).

badger

red velvet cake, rhubarb bars, raspberry pie

Sara, we can get margarine here now, but you may have heard about the controversy over Kerrygold Irish butter.

Sara536

Whoopie pies

Badger, this cracks me up. I think I'll run out and find some Irish butter. Margarine was always allowed as long as it was white, which is pretty disgustinging. I haven't been back in years except for a highscool reunion and to show my kids. The countryside was soooo beautiful and lush and green!

ruthbru

strawberry shortcake, sundaes,

Sara536

Oops! I followed red velvet cake wit a w dessert. I just love that word "velvet". so here's a t word:

tiramisu

ruthbru

upside-down cake

badger

Sara, let me know how you like it. I haven't had Irish butter but can get delicious local product so why buy something imported from afar. 'Twould be like bringing coals to Newcastle.

It's funny how this game sticks in your mind. I was cooking supper and thought ooh for R-Rice Krispies treat!

OK we're on V - vanilla ice cream, vanilla ice milk ;-), vanilla cream pie
