Salad "Uncle Bens" from zucchini for the winter
During the years of “perestroika,” an overseas product appeared on store shelves that were starved for goods—a sauce called Uncle Ben’s. Widely advertised (and advertising at that time was also a novelty and attracted special attention), the sauce became a kind of legend: jokes were written about it and everyone dreamed of trying it, even despite the fact that the prices for it were “biting” and salaries were delayed . And then inventive housewives came up with a domestic version of the famous sauce - homemade Uncle Bens salad. The original product that gave it its name is still on the shelves to this day, but is no longer in high demand, and the homemade “Uncle Bens” zucchini salad for the winter is still made to this day.
Vegetable salad "Uncle Bens" from zucchini for the winter
Hello, friends! The harvesting season continues. Today I want to present a delicious vegetable preparation, the “dream and brand” of the distant 90s - “Uncle Bens” from zucchini for the winter.
Some people still remember attractive jars of sweet and sour ketchups and vegetable sauces from the Uncle Ben's brand. I remember that I was attracted by the spicy sweet and sour (closer to sweet) taste and pieces of vegetables in the sauce. I also remember that the price of these sauces was “biting” and people began to look for and implement homemade analogues. Some turned out to be so successful that every year they take their place of honor on the shelves with winter preparations.
Over time, the word “Uncle Bens” became a household word
