We know we’re slaves to fashion when it comes to the clothes we wear, but sometimes we forget just how of-the-moment the foods we eat are.
We Americans weren’t always dining on grilled salmon, quinoa and kale salad for our evening meal (so 2015) — something the video makers at Mode.com make super-clear in this video surveying 100 years of dinner trends in less than three minutes.
One century ago today, in 1915, American families were sitting down to a nice supper of roast beef and Franconia potatoes, which, while lacking greenery, actually sounds pretty good even now, come to think of it. Certainly better than fried Spam, a baked potato and lima beans. (What were you thinking, 1945?)
