Where To Watch
Can you guess the ingredients in these 1960s summer recipes?
Get ready for a whole lot of gelatin and mayo.
Ah, summertime. It's the season for lazing by the pool, watching mindless movies, and eating "salads" made from gelatin and mayonnaise.
What, you don't do that? Because if this were the 1960s, you probably would. You would not have the choice. Your Aunt Cici would bring over her blue-ribbon walnut-lime Jell-O mold, or your neighbor Betty would insist you try her Orange Ham Surprise. Those were the kinds of things we ate at the time.
We snipped some vintage Sixties recipes from the pages of Ladies Home Journal. Then we took out one single ingredient. Guess what it is.
-
Let's start with this simple Cranberry Gelatin Salad. What is the white stuff on top?

What are the fat white chunks in this "Tomato Royal" recipe?

7/11

4/11 oh my god ew
4/11 oh my god ew
5/11 not surprised though.They had some weird taste sensations happening in the 60's.
6/11 I know I'm weird but there's not a dish listed here I wouldn't try (at least once) except maybe the "Frank 'N' Steins" but that's because I don't like the texture of split-pea soup, it tends to be a little grainy.
It is a nice shade of puke-green though, might be a fun Halloween dish.

I missed # 10 because I forgot how long ago these were from and that adding alcohol without some hint in the recipe name was normal.
10 of 11
I missed 5 because I didn't think it through. The recipe specified a 6 oz can, and maraschino cherries are almost always in a jar.

Yuck, those look disgusting.
Even if I wasn't a mayo hater I would still agree. They are just so wrong to begin with.
I. 100 percent agree🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤢
5 out of 11.
You got 8 out of 11
You can shout, "I won!" Now me sure to brush your teeth after eating all that food, like the good kids in this toothpaste ad.
It all looked gross and I wouldn't eat any of it and never heard if any if it. I guessed on all of these.

Those recipes were pretty damn gross! I hope Good Housekeeping didn't give their seal of approval for any of 'em!
I said the same thing to myself.
I got 3 out of 11.
5/11.Why would anyone want to put chocolate chips in watermelon?The only one I would try is #7
Well, It wasn't real watermelon. The chocolate chips were supposed to be seeds.
I was 4/11.
6/11, and guessed on everyone.
