https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jello_salad
Jello salad is an American salad made with flavored gelatin, fruit, and sometimes grated carrots or (more rarely) other vegetables. Other ingredients may include cottage cheese, cream cheese, marshmallows, nuts, or pretzels. Jello salads were popular in the early 20th century and are now considered retro.
For those as lost (at first) and disgusted (from now one) as me.
And they dare to make fun of Germans and their Nudelsalat, Wurstsalat, etc
Thanks for the description, I hate it just as much as the order of the panels in the picture.
Right? It is like someone anticipated the “random bullshit go” meme in the 1920s while on drugs, and just went to the kitchen and created that.
I feel the rest of the world is not making enough fun of american cuisine yet. There is still need for more.
I’m from the UK and we get our food dissed all the time, at length. By people who have invented jello salad.
Very few would include all of the things listed above and I’ve never actually seen veggies in one.
The one my family makes is just a dessert that’s primarily jello with a thin layer of cream cheese and pretzels. Has a nice combo of salty and sweet.
Not sure why people are so grossed out by that, what’s wrong with it?
Gelatine and calling it a salad, that’s what. At least for me.
Salad doesn’t mean vegetables. Salad is a dish made of a mixture of discrete pieces. See other things like potato salad, macaroni salad, tuna salad, antipasto salad, caprese salad, etc. You’re going to have a lot of food hangups if this bothers you.
Oh, I know what salad means. The gelatine part is what bothers me deeply, especially if in conjunction with cream cheese. Who in their right mind comes up with something like that? 😅
I mean… the Brits invented “mushy peas”
The Brits really did what they could to deserve sayings like the one about how their food, women and weather were the reasons why they became such a great seafaring nation.
In my family it was jello, half of the half-set jello was mixed with whipped cream, other half cut into chunks, then mix in marshmallows, and fruit, and let it all set up.
I’ve never seen jello salad with cheese, veg, or nuts or anything, that’s wild, just cuz I’ve never seen it before.
This is why Ameircans aren’t allowed to make fun of British food.
Americans reject most of that garbage from the 1950s-1970s.
Where British people are jolly excited over bread on bread sandwich
I don’t know what order to read this in.
you can read it in any order and it’ll make no sense
