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

This is why Ameircans aren't allowed to make fun of British food.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 hour ago

Americans reject most of that garbage from the 1950s-1970s.

Where British people are jolly excited over bread on bread sandwich

Thanks for the description, I hate it just as much as the order of the panels in the picture.

[–] _skj@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

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?

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 hours ago

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.

Gelatine and calling it a salad, that's what. At least for me.

[–] _skj@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] BatrickPateman@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

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? 😅

[–] _skj@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Would you put whipped cream on jello/jelly? That's also dairy and features heavily in dessert. Cream cheese is used to make some icing, cheese cake is basically a brick of sweetened cream cheese. So cream cheese also shows up in desserts.

So the person who came up with it was just familiar with how desserts work.

I mean… the Brits invented "mushy peas"

[–] BatrickPateman@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.
