If you were asked to guess the most popular name from the year you were born in, you would likely score close to the top of the list. Undoubtedly, you’d know a person with each of the top 10 names. But could you even begin to guess, if asked, what recipe was the most popular from the decade you were born in?

The most popular recipe of the 1990s surprised me, but I suppose I should have expected that. After all, the only foods I really cared about in my childhood were the things my parents made at home, and chocolate lava cake was certainly not on that list!

Curious about the most popular recipe from your decade of birth? Check out the slideshow at the link below. It begins in the 1900s with a salad containing both Jell-O and cabbage and, thankfully, gets way more delicious from there!
