I wonder what the impact of weight loss drugs will be once they hit the mainstream. Those things are just normal (but very effective) appetite suppressants. Combine 20+ years of bad PR with a real way for people to curb their very real psychological addictions to fast food and I can actually see a future where we look back on today’s fast food like we do to whatever the fuck the 1970s thought about jell-o
That was an interesting article. I had no idea there was ever a fad with jelly containing salads, beef, mayonnaise and seafoods. That episode of the Simpsons makes sense now
Fair enough, I can understand why adding fruit to it has some appeal especially for kids. My mom used to add apple cubes or strawberries to jelly when I was a kid and I used to think it was fun. I can also give a pass to the dessert options in that article, they look tacky but edible in the grand scheme of things. Cabbage and tuna salad in jelly? Give me a break
If you want really disgusting, my grandmother had a mayonnaise cookbook with all sorts of crimes against humanity presented as normal, everyday meals. Thankfully she was a good cook and thus never subjected us to those horrors, but I still get kinda sick just thinking about some of them.
Hahaha, that sounds horrific. What about the 78 page microwave recipe booklet you get/got with some brands? Remember those? Who the fuck is gonna microwave a whole chicken casserole to completion, what psychopaths is this written for?

The only one my grandmother ever made was orange jello with manderine oranges in the center.

Most of those things are just Aspic - which is very common in Europe…
