Soviet dishes that are now impossible to cook at home

Nowadays, food production is rapidly gaining momentum. The reason is simple: people are getting bigger and need more food. Accordingly, they try to make the product cheaper and faster with the addition of chemical sweeteners and flavor enhancers. Even a regular once. jelly Not every child should be used today. It is fraught with the development of allergies, and in general, such a treat can harm health.



And this trend can be observed with many store positions. What used to be commonplace is now being sold at an overpriced price. This is also done in order to get super profits, collecting it from the wallets of naive buyers. It is not advertised, but everyone has long known. What foods do you think have deteriorated recently?

Take, for example, a few products. First, let’s look at the usual. cooked. An ordinary doctorate cost before 2 rubles 20 kopecks and there were no complaints about its quality. Another thing is that in times of total shortage on store shelves it was not found.

The sausage was a true symbol of Soviet prosperity, and few could afford it as a daily product. And the point here, as we said, is not at all the price. Cheap segment of sausages in the country at that time was also, but since 1936, after a trip to Chicago, the People's Commissar of the Food Industry Anastas Mikoyan issued a decree on the production of new meat products.

It was after this that doctoral, amateur, tea sausages and some other meat products appeared in the USSR. According to the standard, the sausage should have 25% of the selected beef, 70% of the poultry pork, eggs and good milk. Not surprisingly, the result was beyond praise.

Meat was used in the highest, first and sometimes second grade. During the war years, production naturally declined. New, more budgetary positions have emerged. The final fulfillment of the norm for the composition of meat in sausage products fell in the era of the late USSR. Although even the old standards, some people remember with pleasure and nostalgia.

What do we see? now? The meat segment has expanded greatly. There is no need to panic: sausage of higher varieties has not gone anywhere, but the volume of its production has really become smaller. The reason is simple: people have no money. And more budget options are very different in taste and composition.

mechanical leaning soy. synthetic shell, taste stabilizers, emulsifiers and so on. A cheap stick of sausage or sausage can afford the vast majority of the population. But its nutritional value is questionable.

Unfortunately, the option of "roasting sausage in a frying pan with scrambled eggs" in our time is becoming more and more unsuccessful idea. When I was a kid, it was a great dish to eat and enjoy. But with each passing year, the result is more and more dismal. It's somehow easier to make regular eggs without these sticky pieces of something fried.

Now few people remember Kisel, but before the jelly was produced in special briquette. Solid, sweet, with different tastes. This, of course, if you managed to pull it off the top kitchen shelf. His parents forbade him to eat dry, but the temptation was too great.

Of course, jelly, as a mass product, was also not 100% natural. But even then, it was considered the most useful product for children, approved by Soviet pediatricians. City mothers often cooked it for their children, and the inhabitants of villages and villages preferred the recipes of their mothers and grandmothers: cooked from natural berries and fruits.

Dry jelly cost a penny, so any boy or girl could afford it. The sellers looked the other way. After all, there was no chemistry in them then, on the contrary, a whole line of vitamins and minerals necessary for the child’s body was added to it even at production.

After the collapse of the country, everyone was not up to jelly, and no one was engaged in its manufacture. Cheap analogues of the once fashionable drink “Yuppie” and others came to the market. Instead of minerals and vitamins, there were flavorings and dyes. And this powder was difficult to call sour. Soda without bubbles. The good news is you won’t find them in any supermarket anymore.

Unfortunately, modern jelly in its mass also does not have a very positive effect on the health of the child. If you search the Internet, you can find many cases where this product caused allergic reactions. It's a shame, but you need to know. In addition, it also tastes, if you say in youth, “not a fountain.”
