The 1950’s was a time of great innovation in food products.  It was a decade driven by the demand for convenience and many of the modern products we use today are food innovations of the 1950’s.  Of the 21 key products we discuss from the 50's, 18 remain on the shelf some 70 years later.

And... nothing warms you up in winter quite like a casserole. So, it's this simple, we walk and talk our way through the 50's when casserole was king. 

Later in the pod we reference recipes for the following baby boomer classics;
TURKEY TETRAZZINI
HAWAIIAN CHICKEN
CALIFORNIA TAMALE CASSEROLE
CHICKEN-CASHEW CASSEROLE
POTATO CHIP CASSEROLE
MOM’S MORE
JOHNNY MOUSETTI
TUNA ORIENTAL
LEE’S SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE
TRIPLE BEAN BAKE
