- Gold Nugget Cake. It turns out that banana bread isn’t the only sweet treat that calls for days-old bananas. You can use the fruit in Gold Nugget Cake, too.
- Jell-O Salad. Everyone ate Jell-O in the 1940s, even if it was in salad form. No, these salads didn’t include lettuce. They were made in big, fancy Jell-O molds, and many people took them to parties.
- Lord Woolton Pie. Woolton pie, also called Lord Woolton pie, is a pastry dish of vegetables, popular in Britain during the Second World War when rationing and shortages made other dishes hard to prepare.
- Potato And Hot Dog Salad. This combination is a prime example of quirky foods from the 1940s. People jazzed up their potato salad with chopped hot dogs.
- Deviled Lobster. While you would be right to associate this time period with rationing, lobster hasn’t always been the expensive dish you order on special occasions.
- Plum Charlotte. Here’s a dish that few people would likely eat again; the dessert is solely based on old food. Plum Charlotte is made with old fruit, typically plums or apples, and stale bread.
- Oslo Meals. Occasionally referred to as “platters,” Oslo meals included a variety of different things. Apparently, many parents feared the rations prevented their kids from eating enough fruits and veggies.
- Meatloaf. Meatloaf was a big deal back in the 1940s. And there were so many different recipes for it. In fact, Bon Appetit actually called meatloaf “an emblem of wartime ingenuity” in the 1940s.
- Mashed Potatoes. To be fair, mashed potatoes were always popular. But in the 1940s especially, the creamy spuds could feed an entire family fairly cheaply.
- Coleslaw. It’s the perfect side dish and fairly easy to make. Who wouldn’t want to dive into some coleslaw? One popular coleslaw from the 1940s actually had a sour cream dressing.
