AdamSmith Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 17 Horrifyingly Disgusting Retro Gelatin Recipes J-E-L-L-NOPE! posted on February 13, 2014 at 5:40pm EST Brian Galindo BuzzFeed Staff 1. Emerald Cantalope Via badanduglyofretrofood.com Because why would someone who is dieting eat a plain cantaloupe, when they can eat it with lime Jello and canned pineapple (sugar) chunks? 2. Ham In Aspic Via badanduglyofretrofood.com Because ham isn’t slimy enough! Also, is it supposed to be served on a bed of ham fat? 3. Cottage Cheese and Salmon Mold Via badanduglyofretrofood.com Salmon and cottage cheese really is an underrated combination. Also, those boiled eggs are a perfect garnish to balance out all those mushy textures. 4. Cucumber Relish Salad Via badanduglyofretrofood.com Cucumber, celery, and lime Jello; one of these things is not like the other. 5. Jellied Lamb Salad Via badanduglyofretrofood.com How do you improve upon a yummy piece of lamb? Apparently by over cooking it, setting it in gelatin, and garnishing with capers. CAPERS! 6. Lime Cheese Salad Via noteggsontoast.wordpress.com If a combination of lime Jello, mayo, and cheese wasn’t mouthwatering enough, then the addition of tuna fish should make it down right irresistible. 7. Sauerkraut Mold Via badanduglyofretrofood.com Have you ever eaten a hot dog and said, “wow, sauerkraut should be more than just a condiment!” If so then this is the dish for you; also don’t forget to serve with horseradish mayonnaise for that extra tang. 8. Glace Fish Mold Via brainpickings.org D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S: Canned tuna fish served with pimento stuffed olives and tomato gelatin. 9. Prune-Stuffed Roast Pork Via vintagerecipecards.com “Oh no, the roast is supposed to be weirdly oozing.” 10. Three layer salad Via badanduglyofretrofood.com Lemon gelatin, pimiento stuffed olives, sweet pickles, walnuts — this is basically a dish made up left over pantry ingredients that you have no idea what to do with. 11. Bean and Mushroom Salad Via badanduglyofretrofood.com Gelatin made an already gross combination even worse 12. Turkey In Aspic Via badanduglyofretrofood.com Is there even turkey in this?! 13. Lemony Salmon Tower Via noteggsontoast.wordpress.com Clearly you are eating salmon wrong if you are not eating it with lemon gelatin. 14. Pressed Brisket of Beef Via badanduglyofretrofood.com I think this has to be mislabeled, cause there is no way that isn’t made of tripe. 15. Jellied Beef Mold Via robertasrealities.com I’m convinced that someone must have been really high when they thought of this recipe. 16. Pressed Ox Tongue Via vintagerecipecards.com I’m sure the gelatin really brings out the ox tongue’s rubber texture. 17. Californian Jello Ring Via wordpress.com WTF?! I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT I’M LOOKING AT! http://www.buzzfeed.com/briangalindo/17-horrifyingly-disgusting-retro-gelatin-recipes Quote
Members MsGuy Posted February 15, 2014 Members Posted February 15, 2014 Some of the blue haired old ladies around here actually make lime cheese salad but I can't recall any of them going so far as to top it with tuna. Of course it's possible I'm just blanking it out of my memory. I'd like to think not but maybe. Certainly it's something I would desperately try for if ever confronted by by this dish on a pot luck table. Quote
Members RA1 Posted February 17, 2014 Members Posted February 17, 2014 You remind me of my 85 year old grandmother who referred to "those old ladies" at church. There is perhaps a lot to be said for "blanking out old memories". Best regards, RA1 MsGuy 1 Quote
