I had to post it. It's a beauty!

So much effort went into that. It's heartbreaking.

... It really doesn't help that I don't like potato salad in the first place.

Same here. I kind of thought "well, neat presentation, but too bad I wouldn't eat it, anyway," but then I got to thinking of (mayonnaise x gelatin) + cold... No. Nothing about this is neat.

"Pardon me, would you like a slice of potato salad?"

Agreed!

I saw that and blurted out, "Oh, that's unnecessary!"

And I like mayo! I really do! But mixing it with gelatin... that's the devil's work.

Oh my God. My mom makes the best potato salad on the freaking planet. This is not potato salad. This is WTF?

No, my mum makes the best. She made some for my sis-in-law, and my sis-in-law taught the recipe to her catering students.

What is your icon from? It looks really familiar.

If I'm not mistaken, it looks like an image from the cover of a Ramona Quimby book.

I feel like a weirdo here, but I would totally try that. I've been eating potato salad by the bucket lately, and yes, I would even eat it in loaf form.

I would too. I freakin love potato salad, and I freakin love mayo. I even like (but not freakin love) aspic.

Serve me up a slice!

From: [identity profile] thebazu.livejournal.com
it's sliceable! thus making ease of one of god's greatest gifts to humanity: next-day potato salad sandwich.

I... wish I was kidding, but I'm not. I'd totally hit that.

on second thought, I'd leave the glaze out. no need for nasty gelatine/chicken broth messing up my awesome sliced potato salad.

I'd seriously make the potato salad loaf, too.

Hold the glaze.

i agree. ditch the glaze and i'd totally make a potato salad sammich.

I love potato salad sandwiches, but I just don't think that looks appetising.

see I hated potato salad until my wife made me some fresh German potato salad with bacon.. she hasn't made it in a long time but I love it!

When potato salad is done properly, it's a whole different thing isn't it?

The whole Mayo-Jello thing is scary and wrong, but the loaf presentation is interesting. Maybe something woven of very thin celery ribbons peeled back as eaten, so the celery is part of the flavor without requiring knife and fork? Of course, woven bacon, ala Bacon Explosion... maybe as serving bowl?

Bacon, the miracle ingredient! :)

Sounds like my dad. He hated potato salad until my mom made some, turns out he just hated his mom's potato salad.

Okay, I like potato salad (as long as it doesn't have celery. Friggin' hate celery, it ruins everything), but I'm not sure I would like it in loaf form.

I hate celery too! ^5

celery is good in pot roast!

I stopped with a pretzel halfway to mouth and exclaimed, "Oh dear GOD!", then proceeded giggle over the little garden embedded into the mass. Excellent, horrified find.

I love potato salad and I love cake... but somehow, seeing them both together isn't setting my world alight.

If someone tried to offer this to me as if it were food, I would suspect I'd been kidnapped for torture.

Mayonnaise is the work of evil. It's the goo that coats foods to force them down the throats of the unwilling. It invokes food poisoning. It is simply wrong.

Potato salad... you honkies...

No, Miracle Whip is the work of the Devil! *giggle*

Seriously, I can't stand Miracle Whip. Makes me gag, for some reason.

Me too!

I grew up thinking I didn't like mayo, but as an adult I found it very tasty. OK, I thinks to myself, tastes change with age.

But then, when I was in my late 30's, my now ex set out a lunchtime buffet of sandwich fixin's and without a second thought I slather the white stuff in a jar on my sandwich and when I take a bite I nearly puke and spit it out. Sure enough, it's miracle whip and I realize that's what my mom had tried to feed me 30 years earlier.

Wow, someone found a way to make potato salad more disgusting. I love those cute little radish flowers, though.

Do you think that there might have been some funny cigarrettes involved in the making of this ad? That's all I can think.

From: [identity profile] meezergal.livejournal.com
When I first looked at this ad, it didn't register as potato salad for some reason and I thought it was a weird Jell-O salad with marshmallows in it.

I love potato salad, but I don't know about this one. It looks as if it's got a high ratio of yellow crap to potato chunks. I prefer my potato salad with less goop and more potatoes.

I...would probably eat this. Or at least try it. I love potato salad, and besides, at least the glaze isn't made out of lemon Jello this time!

From: [identity profile] donnalee-kiss.livejournal.com
I like potato salad too, but it seems the whole point is to make it look pretty for the mayo ad...which then reeks of vegetative cake!

These kinds of ads could be why people started eating fewer vegetables in the first place!

I do agree that finally it's not lemon Jello with mayo making it completely inedible.

I would probably eat this too. I also think the radish flowers are cute :)

Great. I'm now having horrifying visuals of potato salad sandwiches.
