I own every single gelatin mold shape shown in that cookbook (and dozens more, too). However, they are merely for *decoration* - I do not make hideous meat-n-gelatin dishes with them.
I just snagged a 1965 cookbook from my mom's discard pile. I can't wait to scan some of the table setting pictures -- some of the nastiest looking dinner ideas I've ever seen!
Have you ever seen that site that has old Weight Watchers recipe cards posted? Now that is some nasty stuff.
I find old cookbooks and such really interesting. On a recent visit home, I found my Dad's baby book from 1942. You would not BELIEVE some of the advice in there.
God, I love it. I have a Jell-O cookbook from the 70s with a recipe for salmon mold and chicken salad mold. I've never amde them, but it is fun to think about. Thanks for sharing the cabbage mold.
You can comment and be nice, even anonymously. You can comment and be mean IF you are willing to use a real profile. But comments that are both mean and anonymous will be deleted.
Ew!
ReplyDeleteOh, my god...how nasty does THAT look?
ReplyDeleteThe Co-op in Davis used to post recipes from old old cookbooks, and they had stuff like this. It was not what I wanted to see while grocery shopping.

ReplyDeleteI just threw up a little bit in my mouth. That's wrong as wrong can be.
ReplyDeleteThat is so...wrong.

ReplyDeletegross - I knew there was a reason I never eat jello
ReplyDeleteVOM. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteCan you imagine actually serving this with a straight face?
Two words that should never, ever, EVER be in the same recipe - corned beef and jell-o. Bleurgh.
