Some of these foods aren't that bad or weird. I've made #37 before & that's a good recipe. Boy, they sure did love gelatin & Spam a lot in the 50's. In Utah there are people that still love to put weird stuff like meat into gelatin. One thing that's delicious in gelatin is pretzels.

nothing better than a fried SPAM and mustard sandwich.

These all look so good!

So basically the world revolved around Jello? Tuna Jello salad, Mac & Cheese in a Jello mold, etc…

Rainbow cake looks lovely.

Proof that smoking kills taste buds?

I couldn't look at this while eating my lunch. Most of these are disgusting.

Isn't 28 just fruit in jelly? Isn't that still widely popular for kid's school lunches?

#34, the green Jello w/ pineapple, is actually delicious. The lime jello goes really well with the pineapple…it looks nasty but it's so good. And #41 looks like cat food haha gross

I keep forgetting Grandma wasn't a bad cook; she was just behind the times. She didn't know how to end the love affair with Jello&Meat combinations.

That's nasty. /clevelandbrown

Must try the jello in the pineapple can…

AMERICAN weird food from the 1950's.

gelatin seemed to be pretty popular in the 50s

So hungry now…
