In the sixties, twiggy was the most famous model in the world, hence the emphasis on low calorie. Also, the doctors didn't think pregnant women should gain much weight so they put us on diet pills, which was actually speed. We were all thin and had really, really clean houses.

My grandmother found a 'diet doctor' who she drove three hours to see for legal amphetamines to lose weight. It damaged her heart and had a massive heart attack and died with the phone in her hands calling the ambulance. I'm very glad they made them illegal. I was only four and always wished I could have known her.

When Dr, Pepper's advertising folks started the "what flavor is Dr. Pepper" marketing campaign back in the 60s, I was about 10 or so. At the time, our family's favorite snack was dried prunes. We got them locally from a farmer, who tended to dry them a bit too long. We found if you chewed the outside off and sucked long enough on the pit, it would split and you could eat the kernel inside. It had a unique flavor (which I found out a couple of decades later was cyanide). In fact, the kernel of an Italian prune tastes remarkably like Dr. Pepper. We decided then and there that the secret flavor of Dr. Pepper was, indeed, cyanide. To this day, I won't drink the stuff.

I have this book & have made the sauce for the meatballs for a pot-luck using store bought meatballs. It's been quite a few years, but I remember it being a thin sauce & everybody loved it. I've also made the chocolate cake. It is, hands down, THE BEST chocolate cake I have ever made. Very chocolaty & moist. It also converts to cupcakes very well. After looking at the recipes, I've considered just making cherry or raspberry jello using Dr Pepper. Thank you for testing the bean dip! I now have something different to bring to a pot-luck or just make for my family.😊 Side note: This isn't in the book, but when I was little in the 70s we lived in Colorado and would go tubing in the foothills in the winter. They made Hot Dr Pepper. Just pour some Dr Pepper in a sauce pan, add a round slice or two of lemon & slowly heat till most of the carbonation is gone. It's so good in the winter!

Diet Dr. Pepper (or “DDP,” as I call it) is one of the few diet sodas I don’t mind drinking because Dr. Pepper is so odd tasting (not in a bad way, imo, just unusual, unique) that being in diet form doesn’t make it any worse! As for the language in the recipe book: I, and many others, we’re still deluded enough in the 1960’s and 1970’s to believe that getting a college degree in Liberal Arts, with an emphasis on English Literature, was going to land us a fabulous teaching job. The person who put this book together may very well have been one of us, and, no doubt was thrilled at the opportunity to put that degree to use! The rest of us got tired of being laughed at every time we told somebody what degree we were going for, and dropped out and went to “secretarial” (there’s a job classification from the past) school!

I love that everything is supposedly low calorie. Regular Dr. Pepper is loaded with sugar and I wouldn't touch a diet soda with a barge pole. The mid-sixties were all about being thin. I read an article on fashion in that era. It said something to the effect of European girls were uniformly pretty, but American girls could be picked out of any crowd of tourists at a glance because of their big buts.

I'm loving the retro cookbooks! I love cookbooks, in general, but these retro ones.... Now, I first tasted Dr. Pepper in late 60's or early 70's when I was a kid. I swear it had a different taste back then - slightly peppery! Similar to a ginger snap that has pepper (just different flavors than ginger) - a wee bit of bite to it. It took awhile for me to like it and it wasn't as ubiquitous back then. In the 80's, though, I swear it tasted sweeter and no spicy or peppery taste.

Dr.Pepper probably provides a sweetness to offset the tomato and chilis. It's truthiness would pair well with most of the ingredients. Worcestershire sauce is frequently used to provide a savory component. Dr. Pepper also suggested a hot drink of warmed Dr. Pepper and a lemon slice. I liked it, my mother and brother thought it was terrible. Incidentally as with most sodas, when the recipes were changed from cane sugar to corn syrups the flavor of the sodas changed.

On one of your other videos, you asked about the look of photographs in old cookbooks. I believe they are what used to be called rotogravure prints. If you ever watched an old film called Easter Parade, they sing about finding oneself in “ the rotogravure” in the newspaper. This process made for very rich colors.
@cooking_the_books 10 ай бұрын
THANK YOU. This was very helpful. I knew they had a slightly different look to them. Another person ‘answered’ my question in a rather unkind way (but didn’t really answer it and just said they were obviously photographs). I haven’t watched Easter Parade for years but now I want to! 😁

@@cooking_the_books This printing process made for almost other worldly looking images. If you've ever gone outside on a really cloudy day of an evening, you can almost get the same effect looking at your surroundings. There's a whole great big scientific explanation for this, but basically what you will see are deeper greens, deeper blues, all the colors seem more intense. Colors seem saturated. Rotogravure prints create a very similar effect visually.
@jenniferlynn3537 9 ай бұрын
My understanding is that apart from the printing method, Kodachrome film created very saturated images which leaned warm.🏜 Simon & Garfunkle’s song about Kodachrome talks about the impression such images made - almost as though the photos were maybe even better than experiencing the event in person. National Geographic photographers were known for their use of Kodachrome - and when Kodak discontinued making the film, the magazine featured an article mourning the end of an era. Combine Kodachrome images with rotogravure printing, and I agree that we enter another dimension!!!

@@jenniferlynn3537 Jennifer, I had forgotten about this. You are so right! I studied photography In college back before it went digital. There were primarily three well known commercial films. Kodak was an amber film, Ilford was a archival film (supposedly most accurate) and Fuji was a blue film.. When I shot portraits, I always used Kodak. I got a job once shooting the ski team. Used Fuji to take advantage of the blue for the water. Good memories. Thanks for sharing.

You can use other liquids in this recipe. Basically, the heat marries the flavors, but the Dr. Pepper is a lower-end flavor in the meld. You can also add any other pop (but Mountain Dew is kind of overpowering). You can add veg or meat broth. I added 1/2 cup beef Better than Bullion. That added a little more heft.

I am having a blast guessing what the secret ingredient is! Seeing that you used mild chilies that give some veggie notes and Dr Pepper that is sweetness, my guess of roasted red pepper was in the ballpark.

Been going through your videos since I found you a few weeks ago so more than a bit behind. Dr Pepper superfans have done their best to crack the code, and according to Mashed, the best approximation of the flavors is amaretto, almond, blackberry, black licorice, caramel, carrot, clove, cherry, cola, ginger, juniper, lemon, molasses, nutmeg, orange, prune, plum, pepper, root beer, rum, raspberry, tomato, and vanilla.

Your worchestershire pronunciation is fine. It is not the only English name with a "chester" in the middle that treats that part as silent. In my accent (Aussie) it would probably render out as "wooster-shrr" with the "shire" part flattened to its most basic sounds, as Strine usually renders a lot of words. (Strine is a somewhat comical take on extreme Australian accents - the word is "Australian" reduced down to its most contracted version.)

Those kooky “soda pop” cookbooks! It seemed every noteworthy company produced something similar. Some were available for free right off a nearby shelf; some you had to write away for with a box-top and the cost of mailing.... It’s hard to imagine the lengths some brands went to in getting us to consume their items! Maybe they hoped consumers would be more inclined to buy a product if they knew it had multiple uses, and was less likely to go to waste? Sadly, most U.S. households aren’t that frugal with food any more: I’ve read that anywhere between 10 - 25% of what we buy ends up spoiled and discarded. 🤷🏻♀️

I think the company emphatically denies any prune in the recipe, but I agree it has a prune-y flavor to it. Maybe raisin-y. Perhaps they are mincing words with us, and they use "dried plums", not prunes. It probably turns out that the modern formulation is mostly Luden's Wild Cherry cough drops dissolved in "dried plum" juice, spiced with Yves Saint Laurent "Opium" parfum. 😁 P.S. If you happen to like prunes, have you ever tried stirring pureed prunes (as in baby food) into plain yogurt? I started doing that back in the 1980s to get a yogurt flavor not available in stores, and I'm still not tired of it. Whole milk yogurt gives the best flavor and texture. You can also use the pureed apricots or sweet potatoes (add a little cinnamon to that last one). I say "yum".

But like the other 10% of things in that book are kind of noteworthy and would make for a great video.
