Jell-O Cake, Nuka Cola & Cram from Fallout | Binging with Babish

There have been so many great food opportunities in Fallout that we had to hit them all: Jell-O Cake, Nuka Cola, and even Cram.

The very concept of a "Jell-O Cake" is the most 1950s dessert I've ever heard, and that makes it perfect for Fallout.

[@gabbonoo]

im glad he didnt make Aspic.

[@acoupleofschoes]

It's supposed to be a poke cake, you can see the streaks of jello running through the cake in the show. Molds were super popular in the 50s, but Jell-O made the recipe for the cake in the 1970s.

[@DoctorMandible]

It's the tip of the iceberg. Popular magazines at the time would publish recipes that involved putting spam in the jello.

[@Manahyde]

Throw some pineapple in there and you got a 50s cookbook cover

[@CPFMTKV]

@@Manahyde legend has it that some of these recipes are still made and served in some family gatherings to this day

[@sovietstarfishproductions5019]

One jello cake is a concerning amount, there are ten in the span of a week in vault 33. WHY ARE THEY OBSESSED WITH THIS

[@reececoulson9564]

Because its 50's americana and everything was jello back then. Also shelf stable so great for a nuclear bunker.

[@sophia17853]

When your only options are spam and canned things I too would choose jello cake

Uranium glass actually isn't that hard to find, and can be bought fairly cheaply. I myself have a couple uranium glass cups!

@@freighter1097 well i didnt know it was that easy to find, but still a weird flex lol

[@arifhossain9751]

There's a company called Fiesta that still exists today, whose first few batches of glassware were pretty much all laced with uranium. If you look up "Old Fiestaware" you can still find these out there.

[@B_addie]

In my mind when I hear uranium I immediately think radiation poisoning so I’m just like amazed by the concept of putting it in a glass cup to drink out of???? I guess it’s like putting charcoal in foods but still not exactly edible idk

[@ThePsych123]

Technological achievement in the Fallout world: -handheld laser beams -nuclear powered everything -making frosting stick to Jell-O

[@sylvirgiomanach1491]

Maybe if you put down a layer of powdered sugar or something first? Something that will stick to the jello and give the frosting something to grip, but that won't change the flavor too much.

[@AzureSkyCiel]

Ironically, the one most hazardous to people is going to be that last one.

[@net343]

You can actually glue it with actual (edible) glue made from starch and gelatin

[@jfbeam]

@@sylvirgiomanach1491 His frosting was lard; it won't stick to anything.

[@zacharymccants7922]

Nuka Cola had 120% of the daily recommended value of sugar, and it had 17 different fruit flavors. One of which was for sure passion fruit. Quantum had double the caffeine, carbohydrates, and calories and added an 18th fruit flavor, pomegranate.

[@sweetpepino1907]

A six pack of Quantum would stop an elephant

[@pyro-toxin5102]

That sounds like Dr.pepper hahaha

[@SeanBidwell]

Can't forget the "Safe for human consumption" amount of Strontium-90

[@SimuLord]

It originally had passion fruit, but the Great Passion Fruit Famine of 2044 forced it out of the recipe. People could tell. (at least according to Sierra Petrovita in Fallout 3.)

I feel like in the fallout universe, cram is almost certainly an unholy amalgam of genetically modified animals, lab grown tissue, synthetic protein matrix, and mechanically separated chicken, beef, pork, and turkey. Probably all labeled as something like 'natural and artificial non-human protein sources'

[@gabbonoo]

Like Food Paste! but with less "Pink-Jaundice inducing hard drugs" and more "perfected insulation from microbes".

[@spartanhawk7637]

Then any wastelander who reuses the tin just hastily scratches out "probably" above the "non-human" part.

[@chetmanley1885]

[@erraticonteuse]

Check out MisoHungrie, he reviews official licensed cookbooks and he's done several Fallout episodes (including his own Jello cake)

[@preyxd]

The nuka cola is probably the closest yet but still far from the actual recipe I'd imagine, it's actually the essence of 17 fruits not 7 and a major one being passion fruit as during the Great Passion Fruit Famine of 2044 "people actually noticed the taste difference when the flavor was changed". Other than that, definitely closer than the official cookbook recipe.

[@preyxd]

To add to this, pomegranate is not in the default nuka cola recipe, but we can start to theorise what probably is. -Lemon -Lime -Orange -Passion fruit This is official we know this. -Kola nut? If we include the kola nut we're up to 5 already, what about the other 12? Well if we take some notes from Dr Pepper we're ending up with -Cherry -Vanilla -Blackberry -Apricot (Substituted with peach maybe, part of the same family with similar flavour profiles). -Plum Now we're at 10, 7 left. Using in game knowledge we can deduce that the other unique flavours are probably also part of the recipe just in higher quantities in those variants. -Cranberry -Grape We need 5 more, we can guess it may include pear as Nuka Orange was developed using pear brandy as a base. -Pear 4 more, now we're left with plenty of options out of the top 20 "tastiest" fruits. -Peach? -Mango? -Kiwi? -Strawberry? -Raspberry? -Grapefruit? -Melon? We can try to guess based on popularity, so your final recipe might be. -Lemon -Lime -Orange -Passion fruit -Mango -Strawberry -Grapefruit -Melon -Cranberry -Grape -Pear -Cherry -Vanilla -Blackberry -Peach -Plum -Kola nut Am I going insane trying to figure out the real Nuka Cola recipe? Yes.

That's not real jello cake though. Jello cake has been around a long time. It's also known as poke cake. It doesn't have real frosting, you're supposed to use cool whip! And jello cake is rarely layered. It's made in a sheet cake style, you poke little holes in the cooled caked and pour the unset jello over the top, then refrigerate overnight until set and cover with cool whip. My fave combo is lemon cake and orange or lime jello.
