I met Max when he came to visit Scotland. Because his show got big during the pandemic, he'd not really interacted with fans much, so we ended up going to the pub! He could not have been a nicer guy!
I have started just downvoting any post that acts like there was no one alive before the 80's. We had damned pizza in our damned cafeterias in the 70's, in the 60's, and in the 50's. Fuck sake.
Also like 75% of these memes are written for the bulk majority of platform (imgur/reddit) users who were born in that sweet 80s to 90s range. You want boomer shit go to facebook.
Pizza wasn't introduced to US schools until the 1960s. The USDA has used largely the same recipe since likely the start but from what I can find the OG required real dough not this pourable one.
never had a sick stomach, I suspect your cafeteria was either as gross as an average Kitchen Nightmare visit or they were using well past use-by date ingredients.
He found *a* recipe from 1988. That ain’t the original. I was eating those rectangular pizzas in 1981 (which I remember exactly because I switched schools) when my school teacher mom banded with other moms in the neighborhood to form a buying co-op and bought food in bulk for us at home before Sam’s Club or Costco existed. I was a latchkey kid, made them when I got home from school. In general, Miller does a good job, but always view “the original” or “the first” with suspicion unless proven.
Also, very presumptive to say "Well,I found the recipe from 1988" when a very popular post with that very recipe has been floating around for two years. Max taking full credit like he suddenly had this idea is a little weird.
TBF he did find it on the internet, I don't think he claimed to find it first or it had been lost or anything. He's implying it was obscure and he's re introducing his audience to it.

very american would be corn syrup instead of sugar. this is just a regular amount of american where we dusted the bottom with corn meal instead of semolina.
Him reading his hate mail was the funniest thing ever. He dunked on the people trying to call him out for being gay and stuff, and basically was like "Yeah, but which of us makes money doing what we love?"
We had it all. Capitalism finding a way or at least allowing someone to incentivize science education for young minds. And then they immediately realized it was in the better interest of the rich to keep the proletariat dumb and incurious
We never got his show on British terrestrial television, so I only knew of him from the live-action segments of the Back to the Future animated series, where he silently demonstrated Doc’s science experiments.
God I miss the feeling of a new Goosebumps books being released. My family was far from rich, but they never said no to getting me a new book. Hopefully they were cheap enough to have not caused problems.
Goosebumps and Animorphs. My favorite where those science books with the clear pages. You see a Dino egg and turn the page to see the inside of it! Loved those.
Gave my entire collection over to special needs kid of a coworker long time ago. No regrets, better to be read and loved than rotting on my bookshelf you know?
Note: the "quality" was the sugar, salt, pepper. It's the "American palette" and why Pepsi wins blind taste tests: more sugar (sauce: been at hundreds of taste challenge events).
I was gonna argue about the sugar thing, be they are right. Pepsi has 15 more calories. The zero version probably has an equal amount more of artificial sweetener too.
I have no idea who this man is...but he looks generically like many other men. Is it his personality that makes him extra attractive to ya'll or something? Or maybe he's just not my type...?

/A/ recipe from 1988. Schools have been serving it since the 1960s. 1988 is just when it came out in a recipe book for schools that was distributed by the USDA.
Never saw pizza in any of the two middle or three high schools I went to in Cal from 58-64. My eighth grade school on Orange County did serve a wonderful cherry crisp that has lingered in my memory forever though.
I can confirm this was served at our small rural school in the mid-70s, possibly earlier. Other frequent favorites were chili, or hamburgers made with a grossly high soybean content.
... watching the content I mean. Literally tasting history has resulted in some culinary nightmares, but... those are part of why Mr. Miller is so great to watch.
I found his show here on Imgur a few weeks back and got hooked. Though it probably says something about me when that first episode I watched was when he made Ye Olde Hangover Cure a few episodes back, something like wine, barley, and goat cheese. Yeah, his face gave the sense that it was like chewing on an old gym sock.
True, I just meant the schools probably just skipped the herbs and real onions/ garlic and went for onion powder/ garlic powder for ease and to stop picky eaters from complaining of "green" stuff.

Looks VERY similar to what I was served in the 1970s. So that may not be the “original” recipe.

10/10 for max miller and also I love that this recipe takes Very little time and effort; making it ideal for school cafeterias
VitaminJay
I remember that stuff from school and it was always gross and undercooked. They fed the kids absolute garbage and had the balls to charge for it.
unluckyandbored
I tried making it. You know what, for what it is, it ain't bad!
BishlamekGurpgork
Just using good, fresh ingredients probably makes a world of difference, too.
dataengineer
yeah, but it's a school cafeteria. So you need to find real real cheap food then let the nostalgia rush right back in .
SomeDetroitGuy
Yep. It was designed to be able to be made by one person to feed 500 kids.
BananaForScaIe
I mean, I could probably feed 5-7 kids, but I'm sure with effort I can get fat enough to maybe 20? 500 seems excessive for one body to feed.
mikeatike
Well, eat more of this pizza.
graehall
You gotta respect the food engineering behind that, to get quality flavour that people still remember and feed quantity with so few cooks
BananaForScaIe
"Quality"
Note: the "quality" was the sugar, salt, pepper. It's the "American palette" and why Pepsi wins blind taste tests: more sugar (sauce: been at hundreds of taste challenge events).
WhoReadsPeoplesUsernamesAnyway
All those Americans going "screw you. we don't have low quality food!"

The zero version probably has an equal amount more of artificial sweetener too.

Anne Reardon ( https://www.youtube.com/@HowToCookThat ) also cooks some old recipes alongside her other content, she's great to watch as well

I take offense at the suggestion they used "a bunch of herbs". The only green flakes I ever saw on those pizzas were when they mowed outside
Servo87
I second this.
Silent1fd
Probably mostly garlic and onion powder, which would be hard to notice visually in a tomato sauce.
mike13815
Onion and garlic are not herbs.
