With an increased focus on novelty and convenience cooking, the 1960s were a time of truly odd food. Some concoctions of the era, such as 7-Up basted ham, the tuna-berry sandwich and ham-banana rolls, have been pretty much relegated to that time. But some of the other food trends of the 1960s have had some real staying power.

Anyone who grew up like I did would not back off at all from any of these items. I saw times when there was not even a piece of bread in the house.
