- It's not a salad. It's an abomination.
- It's a cave of ugliness and yuckiness!
- It was at this moment I knew there was a pickle.
People in the '50s were weird.
♪ (playful intro) ♪
- (React) We are gonna be traveling back in history to try
some vintage recipes. - Oh, okay. That sounds cool.
- I don't think it's gonna be that good just because
there's newer stuff now, and it's better than before.
- Time machine, open. (makes whirring noise)
Okay. - Wow.
- It feels mushy. - Is there liver in here?
Like, why is it so hard to cut? - Who puts frosting on meat?
- It looks like little patties
in a cake.
- Mm-mm. No.
- Ah! Oh, god.
- It's salty. Very salty. - (coughs)
I'm keeping this here. I'm keeping this here.
- That is the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted in my entire life.
- (React) So, is it your birthday? Because we made you a bologna cake.
- If I gave this to one of my friends for their birthday,
they would hate me for the rest of eternity.
- I would rather have no birthday party at all
than have this. - Yup, I'm definitely
in the '30s right now. - (React) You're in the '60s.
- Ah! '60s?! - I don't think vintage
is good in this case. - I feel like I'm gonna
throw up my intestines. - (Dylan) A bologna cake from 1966!
- It's from 1966. - (Dylan) ...and cake!
Eating a pack of cream cheese!
- Cream cheese?! - (Dylan) Onion powder.
Plus two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce.
- Worshestershifretchis. (laughs)
- Worsteshesheshire. (laughs)
- (Dylan) You ready for bologna? - I expect him to even throw up
while trying to make it. - (Dylan) Your friends are gonna
love the circles of indistinct mammal!
Normally, I'm quite comfortable... - Indistinct mammal!
- (Dylan) To finish, we decorate with spray cheese.
- Yeah, that's disgusting. - (Dylan) Previously unknown to man.
- I don't even know what animal bologna is from.
- Yeah, I understand his pain. - I just wouldn't. No thank you.
- (React) Who do you think would like this dish?
- No one. A lion. Any animals that eat
basically anything they see. - Give that to my dog.
She'll eat everything. - It's meat and some sort of fruit.
- What are those? - Very Christmas-y.
- It's cinnamon? - (React) It's called clove,
but it's very similar to cinnamon. - It reminds me of Thanksgiving.
It looks like a Thanksgiving turkey cut in half with those things
on the top.
- Is this cat food? - Why the hell am I being
put through this?
- Very flavorful. - That isn't bad.
I'm not saying it's good, but it's not horrible.
- Yeah, the peaches are good. That's the only thing good about it.
- (React) This is called the Fiesta Peach Spam Bake.
- Let me guess. This meat is from something gross.
- (React) So, the meat is spam. - Oh, it's spam!
- Oh, yeah. A lion loves spam.
- (React) It was created in 1937. It was a diet staple for troops
in World War II. - I would not eat this
even if I was in a war. - Just give 'em spinach.
Makes you stronger. There's a whole cartoon about it.
- Tastes like dried up fish that got lost in the ocean.
- Usually, I like sweet and salty, but this type? No.
- (Dylan) Fiesta Peach Spam Bake from 1954. Yes, folks,
Thanksgiving is soon upon us, which means plenty of family drama.
- Thanksgiving? What? - (Dylan) And make everybody
visibly upset. We begin by draining...
- Yeah, that'd work on me. - (Dylan) Save the syrup.
Time for spam! Nothing says the holidays
like ambiguous meat! - Spam and peaches.
- Who would have just spam sitting around?
- I like peach, but not spam. - (Dylan) 2021's been a rough year.
(laughs) Now, we insert the peaches into the spam.
Open up! Time to receive peaches. To the quarter cup of peach syrup,
we add two tablespoons of brown sugar.
- Why would you add more sugar to sugar?
- I feel like he feels the same as I did about this
except he thinks it's grosser. - (Dylan) Why do I keep doing this?
- You should've never made that. - Even he hates it.
- (Dylan) This tastes like if Christmas gave up.
- Yeah, it does taste like if Christmas gave up.
- He hated it more than me, but I didn't actually
think it was that bad. - You know, I'll just dump
the whole thing in there. Why not?
- Okay, it smells like pork. - What is the clear coating on this?
I literally have some of this right now.
- Is this just ground beef cooked into jello?
- Oh! It's a cave of ugliness and yuckiness!
- This looks vile.
- I'm ready to spit this out as soon as I put it in my mouth.
Oh. See? Even this doesn't want me to eat it.
- Uh-uh. Mm-mm.
- (React) So, this is a jellied meatloaf.
It's a type of aspic, which was created in the 1930s,
but rose to popularity in the '50s. - People in the '50s were weird.
That's all I gotta say. - It's not good.
- I mean, it's just the texture that threw me off.
- Whoever made this, you do not deserve
to even cook once in your life. - Let's see how horrible
this is to make. - (Dylan) A jellied meatloaf
from 1934. - Hi, person. You're gonna regret
making this. - (Dylan) You don't want the sky beef.
That would be scary. Hi-yah! Who's mooing now?!
- Oh my god. - (Dylan) It's not dinnertime
until you add a pack of gelatin to some water!
- Gelatin with ground beef? No. That's... no.
That's all what ruins it. - They're putting onion in it too?
And celery? Those are my two least favorite things.
- (Dylan) Strain the stock into the gelatin.
- We love having chicken stock in gelatin.
- (Dylan) Now that this is THICK, we add in the beef, pimentos,
and then we mix. This is revolting. (laughs)
No. No. No! Good morning.
UGH!
Incorrect! It's a cat food recipe! Choke!
- It is cat food. - I don't even wanna touch it
with my hands, 'cause it looks like dogs
would just come after me if I touch it.
- Is that ranch? Why did they put-- (whimpers)
- Weirdly-shaped glass.
- (React) What do you think of this salad?
- It's not a salad. It's an abomination.
- There's no way that is a salad. There is-- what?
- Why is there a chocolate bar?
Oh, it's ice cream.
- This is really good. - It just looks like a salad,
but without chocolate. It looks-- the white things
look like ranch. - Oh my god. It's whipped cream.
- (React) So, made with candy bars, this Snickers salad was invented
in 1974 and is maybe a salad? - It definitely is not a salad.
Now that I know what it is, I'm intrigued.
- I think all salads should be like this,
but I'm pretty sure there's gonna be something gross to this.
- (React) There isn't. - There isn't?
- (React) No. - This was actually very good.
- (React) Is this a salad you could eat every day?
- Actually, yes. - This is like a McDonald's sundae.
(laughs) - I mean, I wouldn't be disappointed
in my grandparents if they said that they ate this.
- (Dylan) A Snickers salad... - You're not gonna regret it.
You're not gonna regret it. - (Dylan) ...which definitely
isn't a salad, because America is unsupervised
and they can't be stopped. We start by topping 10 ounces' worth
of Snickers bars. "Hey, Dylan. Whatcha doin'?"
"Oh, I'm just making my salad!" - (chuckles)
- He's just making his salad. Very casual salad.
- (Dylan) ...packs of vanilla pudding.
- Vanilla-- that's what that is. - (Dylan) For what? Solidarity?
Granny don't deserve this. Whatever happened
to "Respect your elders"?! Now into the pudding
goes a tub of Cool Whip because we don't give a [censored].
- (laughs) - Cool Whip!
I've been craving Cool Whip for a while.
- You better say it's good or else you're really weird.
- (Dylan) For best results, chill. You need to chill!
- America does have no chill. - (Dylan) Is it good?
No. Is it bad? No. It's sugar! - How dare you?!
- (Dylan) ...feed this to a child, you're gonna yeet them into orbit.
Goodbye, Johnny! Post-terrestrial. "Where's Johnny?"
"Johnny is gone." - You're gone!
- He does a good representation on how I feel about this.
- I'm surprised he didn't like it, 'cause I personally loved it.
- He thinks it's not good. ...He's weird.
- The first thing I noticed is whipped cream, I'm guessing,
and a pickle.
- It was at this moment I knew there was a pickle.
- The disrespect towards pickles. - (React) Do you like pickles?
- Yes! But not in this way. - That's either pickle
or avocado right there. - I'm just gonna cut it.
See what it is. - Oh, god. There's cream cheese
in this. I HATE cream cheese.
- It looks like some sort of quiche almost.
- All I smell is jalapenos.
- Cheers.
- I like the pickle but not the cream cheese.
- The pickle overpowered a lot of it,
so it wasn't too bad of an experience.
- I love pickles, but I can't eat this.
- (React) So, this is a sweet and savory pickle cheesecake
from the '70s. - Sweet?! More like sour.
- Definitely not sweet, but it's actually pretty good.
Surprisingly. - So, my two least favorite things
in one! - I'll still eat pickles.
I'll just...have trauma.
- (Dylan) Pickle cheesecake from '72.
- 1972. - (Dylan) ...because it's savory.
- It's not. It's not savory. - (Dylan) We start with
a pretzel crust. Melted margarine. Ew.
- What? - (Dylan) Time for the filling!
Pound of cream cheese. - Ew!
- (Dylan) Sour cream! - Oh, there's sour cream?
- Sour cream? Goat cream?
- (Dylan) Honey, I don't need instructions. I'm single.
Eggy! Parmesan! Garlic. Onion powdah!
And red pepper flakes. At least it's hot garbage.
Now, for the star of the show, an entire cup of dill pickles!
- An entire cup of dill pickles. - Ugh.
- (Dylan) 45 minutes at 350. Good night! Oh, boy.
- Facial expressions. - (Dylan) What is that?! No!
It's a demon quiche! - "Demon quiche."
Quiches are nice! THIS is not a quiche!
- Okay, I get it. Pickles, cheesecake,
they're both good things. But sometimes, the solution
isn't mixing together things. - I don't mean it really mean,
but, like...why did you make it? Mm-mm.
- Thank you guys so much for watching.
- What did you think of these crazy foods?
- Let us know in the comments below. - And make sure to like
and subscribe to Kids React. - Bye!
- You guys hate children, and you put us through this
to torture us. - (React) This was a fancy dish.
This was what-- - (sarcastic) Fancy! Yes!
Fancy! Of course!
