25 FORGOTTEN Thanksgiving Side Dishes From the 1950s That Stole the Show

On Thanksgiving in 1953, a 15-pound sack of potatoes cost about 68 cents. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and come back with me to the 1950s Thanksgiving table, where one oven and a careful budget still made a dozen hot side dishes. We'll make all twenty-five, from radish roses and raw cranberry relish to brown 'n serve rolls. Each one comes with a job the grandkids can do, and two secrets that explain how one oven fed a full house. Tell me in the comments: which dish are you giving the grandkids this year?

Facts, dates and prices in this video were checked before publishing. Hot pots and the oven are grown-up jobs. For little ones under four, chop olives and grapes into tiny pieces and keep whole nuts away. Use pasteurized egg whites for the frosted grapes. Sarah is an AI narrator voice.
