Members alphanguy74 Posted July 1, 2014 Members Share Posted July 1, 2014 Those are all pretty bad. I do make Jell-o salad all the time, but it's a GOOD one, orange Jello, shredded carrots, mandarin orange sections, and crushed pineapple. Or I also do mixed fruit in strawberry Jell-o, strawberries, grapes, bananas, apples, and pecans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beebs Posted July 1, 2014 Members Share Posted July 1, 2014 A lot of these I've originally seen here: http://lileks.com/institute/gallery/index.html The HOURS I've wasted reading and subsequently dying of laughter, mostly at the snarky commentary, is impossible to count at this point. Updates are rare, but so worth the read. So many of these monstrosities involve Jell-O, it's somewhat frightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted July 2, 2014 Members Share Posted July 2, 2014 reminds me of this: Posted that Jello thing on my page and my Aunt wrote this: "Reminds me of my school days and the dreaded "congealed salad", basically made up of all the leftovers in the kitchen. KLIF disc jockeys Charlie and Harrigan used to make fun of it when they would read the menu for the school." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted July 2, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2014 A lot of those are in a substance known as "Aspic". Aspic is a gelatin made from some sort of stock or broth. The most gross recipe picture I ran across was creamed fish in aspic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted July 2, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2014 Fruit in Jell-O is good and your recipes sounds tasty. It's when people go crazy encasing weird things like fish, boiled eggs etc... in gelatin or aspic that is sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SoapDope Posted July 2, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2014 It does sound disgusting. I think of it like that gelatin slime that's in canned meats like Treat, Spam, Potted Meat etc......It seems like the 50's and 60's was the hey day of the aspic/gelatin creations. I guess people wanted brag that they had a fridge and could do creative things with gelatin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted July 2, 2014 Members Share Posted July 2, 2014 Now I'm craving a paper picnic plate full of cold Watergate salad and ambrosia to erase the imaginary taste of these gag-inducing monstrosities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
