Recently, we posted about the once-trendy menu items that older adults saw vanish from restaurants in their lifetime. Well, according to the BuzzFeed Community , there are a lot more "old-school" dishes that are pretty much impossible to find today. Here are a few more of them.
2. "I worked at a country club in 2010, and they always served crudités, Shirley Temples, and gazpacho in the summer. I have not seen crudites anywhere else, but people loved it.
" — ashleyp35 4. "Rainbow trout was always on every restaurant menu, and now you'll never find it." —Anonymous, 67, Rhode Island 6.
"Not a dish per se, but alfalfa sprouts. You couldn’t get a sandwich back then without that stuff on it. No matter what sort of sandwich you ordered, if it had alfalfa sprouts on it.
The damn stuff would overpower whatever the sandwich was supposed to taste like." —Anonymous, 60, Canada 8. "I miss shrimp stuffed with cheese and crabmeat.
You used to be able to get it all over or buy it frozen, but now I can't find it anywhere." — bethechangeyouwanttosee 10. "Bruschetta.
Basically, little toast pieces with chopped tomatoes and spices on top. We used to get bruschetta as an appetizer all the time in the late '90s, and I never see it anymore." —Anonymous 12.
"I have not seen a Monte Cristo since Bennigan's." — slygoat41 14. "I haven't seen chocolate or lemon pudding cake in ages! I used to have a recipe for chocolate pudding cake, but nowhere near what you used to find!" — slivk51 16.
"Mushrooms on toast. Sliced mushrooms cooked in a creamy, garlicky sauce (tarragon optional) and then served on toasted white bread. It was a common starter in French/Luxembourg restaurants until the '90s.
The dish has now been replaced by more extravagant stuff. But you know what? 'Toast champignons' is delicious." —Anonymous, Luxembourg 18.
"In the freezer section, you could buy chicken croquettes with a wonderful sauce/gravy to dip them in. You can't get them in restaurants — forget the frozen food section. It's the only food I really miss after all these years.
I wish they'd make them again." — babycapricorn129 "My husband recently was craving these, and I had no idea what it was. He used to get them in restaurants and frozen aisles.
No idea what happened." — toomanykidsnotenoughtime 20. "Bread pudding.
A mom-and-pop diner near us had it with rum raisin sauce, served hot. So good." —Anonymous, 70, Virginia What menu item vanished in your lifetime? Tell us in the comments or fill out this anonymous form ! Note: Some responses have been edited for length and/or clarity.
