hippy food

absinthe was illegal until recently.
electric cool aid - that is cool aid spiked with lsd, beer, tea, coffee

no brownies?
sugar cubes?

 

I know from reading things about the 60s that moonshine and corn whiskey were among the favorites of hippies as these were all homemade drinks and pretty strong

 

of course it is a school thing so I would go with kool-aid or organic tea

 

I understand some feel that most can just eat anything, but what good is it if what you're eating isn't making any sort of difference? I would go for anything organic and locally grown.

 

Big Macs come to mind.

 

Im gonna use orange flower water, rose syrup and organic tea. But thanks for the ideas

 

lol. I never had any rose syrup or orange water back in the day.. that's all new age.. we original hippie from the Haight Street Crew ate Fish and Chips..we also ate Brown Rice n Veggies, Stews, Cassaroles.. with meat. We ate whatever we could.. we ate everything.. fruit veggies, meat taters all of it.. we was a hungry lot there were some that just ate fruit n vegies. We drank beer.. hardly any water.. and we baked bananna nut bread..we had all kinds of food selection in San Fran. We had the hungraian resturant, China Town, and Steak Houses all up n down Market Street.. we would panhandle on Market St. and either eat at a steak house or take the Trolly to China Town.

When we ate at home we ate just like everyone else.

Can't remember hearing anything about absinthe,


but there was stalk tea
brownies
bhang
all of these contained marijuana, definately not good for a class room situation, its only funny when cheech and chong do it lol

But seriously, most hippies of the '60 were usually broke, so they drank whatever they could afford
I remember dandelion tea and nettle tea
Also there was a mushroomy looking thing they called Kombacha or something like that.
It was a culture that you put in a bucket of water, waited a week and then drank it. Mor of a '70 - '80's think I think.

I should think you would be safe to feed them anything home grown or organic, most of us lived out of our own gardens and used a lot of goats milk, which you can use to make cheese or anything you use milk for,

Hopefully we've all given you some ideas, cheers Hippy from Oz

 

Wine and beer. Veggie Burritos, Grilled Cheese, Egg rolls.

But like hippies from the sixties just ate anything cause they were broke all the time. It's more about conserving food and making sure that none gets wasted than what your eating, to me.

 

Post 17. LOL Woodys.

 

haha. hippies don't subscribe to vegetarian diets because they had to or wanted to. Back then, we ate veggies because they were free and we farmed. Most heads that I lived with ate meat when we could get it. We had a few pigs and sheep that ol man Tinney down the road gave us. He was an old farmer down the road that would bring us some homemade wine and staples and news. Give us a ride into town from time to time too.
Somehow "organic" has come to mean "hippy". We were organic for the simple reason that we did not buy fertilizers and the like to support corporate greed and heck, everything you need is provided for you anyway.

 

We all eat twigs and berries (except for the occasional hash brownie) and hand out Peta flyers... and no, it's not lavendar, it's patchouli.

 

Some hippys eat hippie chow/ mostly root veges and rice or quinoa all boiled up piled in a bowl, possibly veges from the dumpster lol

 

I particularly like chicken salad on whole wheat

 

lol x10

awesome post

 

I been a hippie all my life and I'm 60-years-old.
I eat Burgers. Hot Links, baby back ribs, Steak and Lobster, caviar, escargot, beef or pork chile, Tons of Bacon, and hardly ever eat vegetables.

You don't qualify as a hippie just because you only eat plants. That qualifies you as a cow. India has millions of people who only eat plants. None of them are hippies. Taa Daah!

Beside the fact that no Veggie is a hippie.

Hippies eat acid, hash, Brownies, opium, Hawaiian Baby wood-rose seeds, some eat peyote or mushrooms not the red ones. Sometimes other stuff too but not pills and needles.

It's wasn't called the Love Generation and Free Love for nothing.
Sometimes hippies eat each other.

I think that that about covers it. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me. Okay?

I never knew anyone in the all of the 60s or the 70s who got totally stoned on marijuana and said to their buddies, "Hey, I've got the horrendous munchies. Let's all do a store run, and get a bunch of brown rice and natural foods."
No F---ing way, Jose.

Potato chips, fritos, twinkies, chocolate bars, Jerky, Popcorn, Sodas, Angel food cake. ice cream and toppings and whipped cream.

Not "yummy, Tofu and raw seeds." I think not. What a joke that would be.

 

LOL
I love the title of this tread.
"hippy food"

Hippy Food®

Hippy Food comes in a small can. You buy it at the pet shop. Once a day you open up the can and pinch a little bit with your figures and then you sprinkle it into the aquarium for the hippie fish to eat. Too cute. Hippie Food.

 

From what I remember, in the 60's we always seemed to be eating either spagetti or chilli (probably because it was cheap and could be bashed out to feed loads of people by throwing in a few more cans of tomatoes) and when I lived in the Bay Area, we drank Red Mountain wine (agan, probably because it was cheap). I think that stuff was really rough, but we were young then and didn't care.

 

I forgot about the huge volume of pasta with tomatoe/meat sauce we consumed. Fed an army, relatively cheaply. If I can recall, the food was prepared by the whole group who also smoked steadily throughout the food preparation. A total gong show.

Nothing has changed, because there is no hippy food, just people food.
