Where To Watch
Can you guess the ingredients in these vintage holiday recipes?
Is that meat or fruit in that Jell-O?!
Holiday feasts with the family bring out those handed-down recipes. Your entire life, from childhood to adulthood, you have been eating them. Maybe it's Aunt Edna's Jell-O salad with the pretzels inside or Uncle Jerry's cranberry sauce with mandarin oranges. They may be divisive, but they're part of family history!
Meals have changed over the decades. The food spreads of Thanksgivings and Christmases past featured some ingredients that would cause kids today to make a face.

Almost makes me glad we were too poor to afford these concoctions. Olives and tuna inside jello? No thanks.
No wonder we were skinny kids back then! That and we actually ran around outdoors all day.
I remember having hot Dr Pepper as a kid. But, when you heat Dr Pepper it loses its fizz. Then what's the point?
We weren't ritzy enough when I was growing up to have any of these.
4/10 lol lol too funny and disgusting at the same time! did anyone actually eat any of that stuff?
7/11, and this is what we generally refer to as "unfortunate food."
Rice, tuna, Dr. Pepper and cranberry sauce have deceptive appearances.
5 out of 11, which means my capacity for horrific cooking must be low.
My great aunt Verna used to make beet jello. It was the only thing she ever made that I turned my nose up at. Everything she made was amazing, and I bet I would have enjoyed if I'd tried it...
5/10 That crap I wouldn't even feed to my dog! 🤢
Dog wouldn't even eat it!
5/10 Never seen any of that stuff on anyone's table.

BLLLKKKK! I wouldn't touch ANY of that stuff. I got 5 out of 11.
6/10 Gak! Another bad one.
6/11. To quote H.M. Murdock from The A-Team; "The Out-of-Towners", s1 e7,
"GARBAGE, HOOOOOOOOO!"
"GARBAGE, HOOOOOOOOO!"
