[@kristentaylor5359]

I can understand the tuna salad jello dish if that jello was unflavored. Of course now we have unflavored gelatin but I don't think it was as readily available maybe back then? I'm just not sure. I know that a lot of people used to make what was called an aspic mold and that was actually made strictly from the gelatine you get from boiling hooves and things like that. It was actually one of the recipes that was made in the movie Julie and Julia

[@Lovelife10934]

I love your videos has always!! ❤❤ we usually used limes ice cream. And with 7 up soda. My grandparents have done it for yesterday, I usually don’t drink soda thought out the year, but on new year eve I do because of the punch

[@niceice07]

I could be wrong but I think some of these savory jello salads were made with unsweetened jello - like there was possibly an unsweetened lime jello at some point. Not positive about this but not having sugar in it would make the flavor more palatable and more similar to an aspic. Still a textural nightmare though.

[@Kerosene.Dreams]

They were definitely made using a vegetable based jello. It seems like whoever wrote this recipe was trolling.

[@julieblair7472]

When Jell-O first came out they included Celery and Tomato flavors but they were just as sweet as the Jell-O today. By the 60's these flavors were long discontinued and lemon and lime were still used for salads, but things like grated onion, vinegar, mayo, and horseradish were added. People often made unsweetened ones with plain Knox and broth, but the lime and lemon were still quite popular. Their popularity is overstated these days, they were definitely a love it or hate it thing by the 60's. Mostly enjoyed by older women that ate them in the 30's as children.

[@kristidaemon4709]

yes, they were. I really don't understand why youtubers keep trying sweetened jello for savory dishes and surprised to get a horrible result. Gelatin is "meaty" and doesn't have any sugar in it and that's the one you need to use for savory dishes and then it taste decent.

[@sarahwieland3243]

I can’t imagine this being edible with or without sugar 🤮

[@SgtAStrawberry]

Something about your slight fail and reaction with the pineapple upside-down cake just felt so authentic.

I used to be scared of spam until I went to Hawaii, and this guy this breakfast restaurant, made me spam and eggs. OMGod! It was so good! Also, Musubi with spam, is out of this world! Pro tip, even though it didn’t say it in the cookbook, you ALWAYS butter your baking dishes, and cake pans. Even if it contains butter like the brown sugar mixture. It was just standard practice back then, that’s why it’s not said in the recipes. Also, they drained their meat even in the ‘70s. 😂😂😂 please don’t leave all that grease. Lol

[@38lizzieb]

The Tater Tot Hot Dish is a Midwest staple. It depends on the recipe but you can add frozen veggies/onions that will soak up the grease and make it more "colorful" Also I have fond childhood memories of Floating Island Punch as socials. That was the good stuff when you were a kid and not allowed to have soda.

[@jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj000]

I was thinking this hotdish was very midwestern as well -- my parents used a baster and paper towels to suck out the grease from the burger, though! We added a lot of veg as well. AND....I totally have crisco in my cupboard. I use it for biscuits and pie crust :) Love your videos

Dear you do not use jello when making a savory dish. You are supposed to use KNOX UNFLAVORED GELATIN. You’re supposed to flavor the gelatin yourself.

[@leinaneia]

The jello recipe reminded me of something my grandma used to make sometimes: It's gelatine mixed with meat (I think minced meat but I can't remember bc it had been too long since I ate it. I even forgot it's name), pickles and I think eggs as well. Since it wasn't sweet jello or gelatine it was pretty tasty if you don't have problems with it's texture. We also added mayonaise as something like some sort of dip

It's kind of like the pig equivalent to those chicken patties you get on cheap chicken sandwiches, where it's not like a whole breast or thigh but just a amalgam of ground meat. It's certainly not great for you, but it's also not anything particularly bad, and even more so, not even anything weird.

I agree, but the original recipe called for lime Jello (I am from that era and it was not good then either).

[@scoobydoo6986]

My grandmother is still big on making jello "salads." But, it is really just fruit and mini marshmallows mixed into jello. My favorite version of that will forever be a strawberry fluff "salad." Which is basically a layered dish of pretzels or nuts on the bottom, then a later of strawberry jello with fresh stawberries, and then a layer of whipped cream. It's delicious!

[@tracy_in_primary]

Back in the 80's, the Americans where we lived would use orange jelly (jello) with grated carrots and crushed tinned pineapple. That wasn't tooooo bad. Quite bright and very orange though. Not exactly the Aussie palate, but when you live overseas with a mishmash of expats from around the globe, you give lots of things a red hot go.

[@rileyhudson9326]

My great grandma was a housewife in the 50s and she still makes pineapple upside down cakes! The trick of it is to add a little splash of vanilla, a pinch of salt, and use pineapple juice in your batter instead of other liquids like milks or water. Also you have to butter the dish before adding the brown sugar in order for it to melt properly and add as much pineapple as you can fit whole on the bottom.

[@tearez13]

watching thiss after watching tasting history is such a vibe switch lol it's also hilarious to me that my family would still make the rainbow sherbert punch, (in a beautiful cut crystal bowl), jellomolds (though never with tuna) and use a handmixer, but i've never had the 'timeless' spam and rice lol (another favorite in my mom's family was pistachio cake made with pistachio pudding)
