I didn't realize that Reeses Pieces was such a 'new' candy: I now understand why the appearance on ET was such a big deal when it happened.
Lots of yummy things on that list. I have to admit that the Big Mac sometimes hit the spot!

I think Taylor Ham (pork roll, famous in NJ) was introduced in the late 1880's.
I don't have a favorite food but Taylor Ham grilled on a roll with Gulden's Mustard ranks up there.
There's even a website that sells it (and other Mid Atlantic delicacies like Tastykakes

If wine is not a food, I will have to choose cheese, a very old food. Here's what cheese.com says:
"Cheese is nutritious food made mostly from the milk of cows but also other mammals, including sheep, goats, buffalo, reindeer, camels and yaks. Around 4000 years ago people have started to breed animals and process their milk. That's when the cheese was born."

she don't like cocaine
The 19th century Coca Cola doesn't count. Today's formula was introduced rather later with caffeine replacing the original cocaine. Can't find the date, oddly enough, I'm usually a pretty good sleuth with Web searches.

The full-throated fury against cocaine was still a few years off, and Candler and Robinson were anxious to continue promoting the supposed benefits of the coca leaf, but there was no reason to risk putting more than a tiny bit of coca extract in their syrup. They cut the amount to a mere trace.

1940s - Nutella (an Italian pastry maker, faced with the rationing of cocoa during WWII, decided to make a chocolate substitute using hazelnuts as filler)
Regarding Coca Cola -- I just read an article that pointed out we now have DEEP FRIED COCA COLA. Apparently it was a new invention at one of the state fairs (Texas, I think).
