I think I've said this before, but anything with "molded" in the title should have a name change, maybe to Gelled or Sculpted or something like that.
Also, everyone knows tuna and cabbage go better with lemon jello. ;)
Melynda, I'm literally laughing out loud. I HAVE to go through my cookbooks and find something disgusting for this, I just have to. I'm still laughing as I'm typing this........I love Annie's comment, "everyone knows tuna and cabbage go better with lemon jello." Thanks for another disgusting post!!! :o)
Thanks soo much Melynda:)
another great thing about this series, there are no leftovers!
You're not eating this? But why? Sounds great.
Gosh, it's lunch time now and I'm not even hungry after reading this! This is a great "yucky" if there ever is one! Thank you for mentioning my post! Really appreciate it! Have a lovely day!
That does sound very interesting. It won't be made at my house either. The other recipes sound delicious though.
Love the other recipes you have featured - they all look yummy - but wow -Molded Tuna and Cabbage Salad - with hard boiled egg? Who thought of that?? I'm so glad you didn't make it!! And I like Annie's comment too :)
You know I love you right? I truly do. However, everytime you post about stuff you're not going to eat, well, it's like a traffic accident. I don't want to look but I just have to. I just can't believe that people used to eat this stuff. Ok, secretly, I wait all week for you to post this. I look forward to it. I am most ashamed to admit that. Love you!
I love how your presenting these posts, makes me smile!
Yee! I think that this is one of the top ranking entries for what I would NOT eat!
Melynda, once again, I am so happy you aren't serving this. Can you believe that someone actually published that recipe? You have outdone yourself this week. :)
I love Annie's comment about the lemon jello, as well. That was quite witty of her!
Melynda,
Thanks for including me in your post. This is too funny. I seem to remember a few recipes like this from my childhood.
LOL Melly! I love it! Seriously I cannot believe the molded salad. I am a first generation american and if something was in a mold, it was an aspic and it tasted savory, not this green shaking stuff with tuna in it! Eeeewwww! Didnt you just LOVE kanaka's mac and cheese! I love her too, so glad to have recently hooked up with her! I wanted to let you know as well that I am giving you a Stylish Blogger Award because YOu soooo wicked rock! Stop by on Friday at a Moderate Life to pick it up! Hugs! alex
Your Wednesday posts crack me up :). Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters
It's funny to see what people used to pass off as meals. I can see why you're NOT eating it. Very funny!
I bet if I used sugar free jello, I could use this for my diabetic husband. Actually, it's a low carb dish...but doesn't sound appealing to me. Interesting...
