    Baked Alaska dessert on a decorative plate, representing a food people don't make anymore. Baked Alaska! It's a giant cake with ice cream baked in it. I heard about it a lot in the 70's, but never actually had it until about 10-15 years ago. Very impressive presentation and super tasty!

    Chocolate cake topped with colorful dipped strawberries and whipped cream, showcasing a food people don't make anymore. Angel food cake. That was my birthday wish when I was a kid. Loved it with fresh whipped cream and either bananas or strawberries. Store bought just doesn’t bring back the memories of mom’s homemade.

    Plate of breaded chicken with melted cheese and spaghetti in tomato sauce, garnished with herbs. Veal parmesan, which was my favorite food growing up. Now, it's a very rare restaurant that serves it, and none of my local grocery stores carry the veal patties we used to get to make it at how.

    A traditional stew dish with meat and gravy, not commonly made anymore, garnished with parsley, served with buttered bread. My mother made oxtail soup two or three times in the winter , now I have to go to the local Jamaican place. It’s no longer a cheap product and my wife won’t eat it. She also cooked beef tongue in a pot of salted water then sliced it for sandwiches. I have to go to Mexican restaurants that serve lengua tacaquitos, which is actually a good thing.
