My great aunt put them on a bed of lettuce with a layer or cottage cheese.
We didn’t touch them either and always laughed at calling them salads too.
~~Probably something to do with the great depression and needing to make cheap foods interesting~~
Something to do with women having to make things look less lazy/not just serving ready made things, and like they put work into making food in the post ww1 period. Recipe books tended to have the crazier stuff trying to get you to use more of their other products
I think people forget how much MRE style preserved food drove the nation for a bit and why a lot of good cooking was lost for a period.
Than maximalist cooking using all theass produced food followed and it's all atrocities for a while.
Salads are just cold foods chopped up and mixed together with some kind of dressing. I.e. fruit salad, caprese salad, egg/chicken/tuna salad, etc.
Using gelatin as the "dressing" is a regional thing. This would be called strawberry cumfart jello here, not strawberry cumfart salad.
I also think only very old people still eat this shit. Gelatin in general is much less popular among young people, who want their food to vaguely resemble food.
"Salad" doesn't mean healthy, it just means "item + goo." Sometimes it's veggies and dressing. Sometimes it's fruit and their own juices. Ham, tuna, egg or chicken salad is just those items plus mayo. Add relish, celery and onions if you're fancy. Sweet jello salads are jello chunks mixed with cool whip, fruit and nuts if you're fancy. In a savory jello salad the jello is the goo and random bits of what ever veg and/or meat was in the fridge are the item.

Yeah apparently we're using very different definitions on this side of the Atlantic.
a cold dish of various mixtures of raw or cooked vegetables, usually seasoned with oil, vinegar, or other dressing and sometimes accompanied by meat, fish, or other ingredients.
The Midwest US is pretty well known for their "salads" of whatever the fuck gelatinous mess they want to throw together. It's a loose definition of salad.
I mean, they're only calories, not much else. Why would you eat that as main dish?
What...?
My problem isn't whether it's s main dish or not (and are you not aware salads can be main dishes?), my problem is that it's sugary jell-o in cake form. Sort of the opposite of a salad.
It's fake. It looks like that so she can bring the same one to every picnic.
This hole. This hole was made for me
No, wait
Drdrdrdrdrdr
Instructions unclear, dick stuck in jelly salad
I thought this was a Mystery Flesh Pit National Park post for a second.
What's wrong baby? You didn't even touch the prolapse cake...
Your Sunday potlussy
She knows what she's doing.
We used to have a jello mold like that, but we didn't make them with the color and texture of flesh.
Now this makes me wonder what this would look like if this was made with jello like the thing in the post
Also searching for "meat baby " on Google is fun
because you were cowards?
Oh lawd y'all better eat that now before it molts and enters the pupal stage, because that's when it feeds.
This is ai generated right? Like someone told chatgpt to cross a butthole with a jello right? No one would actually create something this terrible?
You've clearly not been exposed to the wonders of yesteryears jello and aspic abominations
The butthole of yesterday always seems more delicious than the one in front of you.
(Damn, sometimes I accidentally compile a random assortment of words into something so profoundly wise I scare myself)
Maybe it was unintentional. You can't see what the topside of your jellymold will look like before it's inverted, so they could have tried for a floral pink effect and taking this picture shows they have a sense of humor about their failure.
What's a potfuck??
That salad better stop playin
That looks like a cervix
Ah nothing quite like a cummy asshole for dessert.
The santorum cake, very popular right now
Looks like a horror movie prop but I bet it tastes good.
People into rimjobs
Mmm delicious
It's afraid. IT'S AFRAID!
"Oh no, don't look at me like Auntie Griselda!"
My aunt is also called Griselda
Earmarking this for an office potluck idea
Suddenly I miss my proctologist
I heard your Proctologist lost his thermometer and then said "some asshole has my pen"
I'd tongue-fuck that bad boy.
Mmmm love me some anus pudding
