THEY ADMIT IT!

Jell-o Salad Flavors, 1965



"real salad flavors"

On the plus side, "You'll never again make a gelatin salad that's a dessert at heart."

Comments

Yes!

It is frightening, repellent, but also graphically quite pleasing!

What nuclear power plant where they located near, to get those shrimp and eggs so big?

[singeaddams.livejournal.com]

*flinch* I'm imagining all of it going in; the fish tail waggling out of the top, the drumstick poking out of the side...

Yes.

THE JELLO THAT ATE THE KITCHEN.

[singeaddams.livejournal.com]

AND IS CRAWLING AFTER ME!

Dear god I am strangely curious what "italian salad" jello tastes like.

[hutchlover.livejournal.com]

Fish in Jell-O? I don't care that it's vegetable Jell-O. There is no way I would put fish in anything gelatin.

I wonder how long this was on the market. And I wonder if any heads rolled for this stupid idea.

[contradictacat.livejournal.com]

Two words: Gefilte Fish. Fish bones have a remarkable amount of collagen in time, so a sufficiently reduced fish stock will become gelatin/aspic when cooled.

[hutchlover.livejournal.com]

Yuck, it still sounds gross.

Fish is one of the few things they sometimes put in gelatin in Denmark - yes, it's disgusting

[aprilstarchild.livejournal.com]

Considering that otherwise they were telling you to put this stuff in fruit-flavored gelatin...

I have a few old vegetarian cookbooks with recipes for making stuff like this with agar, which makes a substance similar to gelatin. Newer cookbooks don't mention anything like it, though. I think aspics etc. just lost popularity, and now they look gross to us.

The food looks good...BUT NOT IN JELLO!

The only food I think can work with Jello are certain fruits. And whipped cream. :)

I vote yes, too.

[mentalhygiene.livejournal.com]

I much prefer this version of fish in jello:

[tanwen.livejournal.com]

That is remarkably awesome.

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

That is adorable!

[sukaira.livejournal.com]

Yes for this ad. I wonder if there was any real difference between the jello flavors since it recommends any flavor for the ham jello salad.

Yes to the ad

[ejia-arath03.livejournal.com]

But no to the idea. This is what happens in all those "it came from the suitably horrifying place" monster b-movies; someone sticks something in gelatin and all hell breaks loose.

[beetle-breath.livejournal.com]

oh sweet merciful hell

[cactuswren.livejournal.com]

Yes.

But what the HELL is that thing above the shrimp and the egg?

[write-light.livejournal.com]

That's an onion believe it or not.

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

I think it's a whole ham. Wrapped partially in burlap.

In other words, thigh-o-pig. D:

[inateapot.livejournal.com]

YES

[classypants55.livejournal.com]

I look at this ad and I just shake my head violently. "NO, NO" :(

I'd like to vote Yes though. :)

[temperance14.livejournal.com]

yes

[1geek-queen.livejournal.com]

I see that more as, "Things that should never be put in Jell-O."

[doylescordy.livejournal.com]

YES

But EWWWW
