  1. Man that Egg Roll is impressivly transformed into a Denver omelet. Pigs in a blanket were…lacking their blanket… Someone didn't tell the Upper Great Lakes part of the midwest that pickle wraps went outta style, nor the cheese n cracker trays, had cheese n cracker trays every Christmas Eve, along with Wildcat(cannibal sammich to some people for some weird reason, or tiger meat)

  2. Comments are equal to money so the best way to get comments is to make sure video and commentary don’t match.

  3. Many of these appetizers aren't "FADED Into History!", we serve a lot of them at holiday time & parties😋

  4. Hello Mr Vintage why did Noodles Romanoff from Stoffers disappear when I was a kid it was the best frozen food meal I ever had it left and never came back and I don't know why

  5. Once again, wrong! Get the images correct for the narration and stop saying that some of these have disappeared. In what world does this channel live in?

  6. Who chose these. Uhhhhh.. ..my grand kids make pug in the blankets every Saturday for movies. And we always mak swedish meatballs at get togethers

  7. Pigs in a blanket to me is a hotdog or similiar cooked in dough and those "egg rolls" to me is an omelette cut up in squares/bites.

  8. Who does this guys research. Many of these are still alive and well. And by the way Pigs in Blankets are very popular in the U.K. and are wrapped in bacon. Meatballs are still popular. What a weird channel.

  9. Yeah, we definitely abandoned things like egg rolls (which is not what you showed), cheese and crackers, Swedish meatballs, stuffed celery, and spinach dip. What the hell even is this video? If this is an example of your content, the rest of your channel is probably just as crap.

  10. Celery with peanut butter and raisins on top. Called bugs on a log, it was a little treat for kids.

  11. Someone needs to actually watch these videos. It's a little jarring when they talk about one food and all you see is another completely different dish.

  12. Pigs in a blanket wouldn't necessarily get me too excited, but those little pigs wrapped in bacon has me drooling. Bacon wrapped anything is awesome, but my favorite is bacon wrapped scallops which is an appetizer that better not fade.

  13. People are being so whiny!🙄 Sometimes images just aren't available! Regarding Trader Vic's, sadly only two locations remain in the US! Atlanta Georgia and Emeryville CA! This is another time I've seen rumaki mentioned in videos and to me I would definitely switch out chicken gizzards over livers – my not like anything liver!

  14. There's a big difference between "egg roll" and "rolled egg."
    Is anyone else disturbed that in the pigs-in-a-blanket recipe they showed, the "blanket" the pig is wearing is also pig?
