Legendary Soviet dishes that almost everyone used to cook, but today they have been forgotten

Fashion is a fickle lady and very changeable. This applies to absolutely everything, including food. If for thirty or forty years some dishes were practically regulars at every table, then in our time even recipes are not preserved in all families. Our contemporaries, some of them not only did not cook, but never tried.

1. Zucchini jam

Not only jam and other preservation went by the wayside. There are also salads long forgotten, for example, "Fish in the Pond". It was prepared in layers with sprats “jumping” out.

A true work of art both in taste and appearance. In addition, no super unusual ingredients were required.

For the preparation of caviar, not only milk mushrooms were used. This peculiar pate was an analogue of modern sandwich masses, which are produced with various flavors. The only difference is that the Soviet homemade version was much tastier and with a natural composition. And what is in our purchased spreads, one can only guess.
