That's why it was called formula. Doctors would give different recipes for different babies!

I have a cookbook from the 20s and there’s a recipe for avocado salad, but they called avocado “alligator pear”!

If we're talking non-staples, I'll add kosher nondairy creamer, kosher nondairy whipped topping aka "whip", and parve ice cream substitutes, none of which I consider to be a staple OR food, for that matter. I consider them plastic.
Of course there was no such thing as prechecked veggies or microwavable meals, but, then, there were no microwave ovens. |
You don't need a hechsher for EVOL.

I remember my mother kashering livers and grinding it up for shobbos. Now we buy in packages.
Greek yogurt. Before that we had only mehadrin yogurt with the lids that we saved. It came in in coffee, strawberry, blueberry, vanilla, and plain flavors only.
Hearts of palm came in a glass jar and was a big treat. Avocado was a treat too.

I've never found bugs in iceberg when I lived in California, but in Israel it is IMPOSSIBLE to check, and every time I've bought it I've had to throw away the whole head. It will look perfect on the outside, and be completely infested in the middle. There would be no way to save even a single leaf.
