Many of my cookbooks are from the 60s and 70s. All of my family Christmas cookie recipes come from one of them...but there are a good percentage of recipes in there that have something to do with Jello.

Meat and jello should not go together...except on the cow. Urk. I must say that the photography/illustrations do nothing to enhance their appeal.
Also, spam. Lovely spam.
My mom has a cookbook from when she was in college/grad school (late 70s/early 80s). Lots of recipes for things in aspic. Where's the barfing smiley when you need it?At least I don't leave slime trails.

+1. It's hilarious and stomach-turning at the same time.

Some of those are hilarious.... my favorite is ring-around-the-tuna.
I'll admit though, my kids LOVE Spam!
Although looking at those pictures, I can't but wonder what people will be saying in 50-60 years about some of the things people are eating today.~ working mom to 3 little girls ~

True. They just have flip on Food Network show which some shows focus heavily on interesting/but junk like food.Although looking at those pictures, I can't but wonder what people will be saying in 50-60 years about some of the things people are eating today.
I was amazed/appalled in Hawai'i, spam sushi is pretty popular when I was there.
But maybe some people feel better having it for awhile (especially if there are concerns of radioactive leakage infecting the sea life after nuclear power plant meltdown in Japan during earthquake earlier this yr.).My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

Fortunately my mother was a good cook. We never saw anything that even resembled some of this ersatz 'food'. I can probably count on one hand the times I have eaten jello. Well tomato aspic not withstanding, but I don't make it with jello either.
