I actually threw out a cookbook of Mom's while cleaning out her house that was FULL of recipes like this.
Apparently, it was trendy back in the day to put olives & pimentos in everything, including Jello.

ah- the 50's fascination with Jello. I asked my mom about it once. She said it was like this unwritten contest between housewives as to the most unique combination you could serve or bring to a potluck. No thank you.
We actually used to have one of those fish molds growing up. Thankfully, my mom only used it for making fish shaped cakes (and left the fish out!).
DH's grandmother grew up in the depression. She used to tell stories about stuff they used to eat because it was all they had. But doing it voluntarily- yuck.

I have the book! My husband got it for me while I was recovering from surgery years ago. Bad idea. I laughed so freaking hard, I popped stitches. It's too horrible not to read.

My mom still makes a jello "salad" for holidays. It also has lemon and lime jello mixed with cottage cheese and mayo along with some fruit. It actually tastes pretty good. I was a teen though before I knew it had mayo in it. Not sure I would have tasted it had I known. My family is Portuguese and olives in fish dishes is quite common. Putting pork in there is actually even more common. I will say I don't understand how shrimp salad on a hot dog roll is somehow unusual and disgusting.

Meh. I had the jello and cheese mold growing up and it was okay.
I agree that Scotch Eggs are delicious! And I've never tried a Shrimp Roll, but Lobster Rolls are awesome.
I wonder what food(s) we eat today that in 50 years folks will be saying .

Wow, strange shaped jello molds. I hadn't thought about them in years! I think we have a box of them somewhere up in our attic We ended up with some from multiple Grandmothers . I vaguely remember some with tuna and definitely some with olives.

DH insists on green jello salad for Xmas. He uses cream cheese and whirs cre, no mayo. Based on the empty shelves in the jello aisle before the holidays he is not the only one whoakes it.
Anyone remember those snack sticks from the 60s that we ate because the astronauts did? If I had o e know ii would probably not like it.

Or make kale chips and dip them in dark chocolate

Kishka is awesome! I grew up with it and some other things that people would think they are gross but they'd think twice before calling it that if they tried it! There is for example the Tripe Soup- made with strips of beef stomach and vegetables cooked by Greeks(Patzakia) or Turks. It is possible that some Ukrainians and Russians do it too. It is used mostly as a hungover fix and I must say that it works! There is something else that we called "Litle Hammers Soup" made from the lower parts of the pigs feet using all the litle bones and ligaments. And there is the ever "disgusting" jello type platter made with pig bones/meat, boiled hard and then cooled until it solidifies turning it into a jello mass in a plate. Looks disgusting which is absolutely deceiving. All these, when cooking call for vast amounts of crushed garlic. And many, many other things that are more or less unknown to most of the world. That could be attributed to the fact that no French "foodie" had acces in most of Eastern Europe including Russia. Otherwise all this so called "disgusting" foods would have French names and be served in some ritzy-ditzy restaurant, cooked by a highly trained and renowed chef! And to think that grandma and mom were whipping them between gardening, doing laundry( by hand), feeding the animals and taking care of the kids. And all they had was a wood burning stove top that they had to build most of the time, a knife and the raw ingredients. Not even running water!

So on 50 years what will our grandkids think is gross? Sushi? Quinoa? Kale? Kale is gross. Kale is awesome! Chop it up and use it in a salad with champagne vinaigrette. Works well with quinoa, apple, cranberries, and gorgonzola. Or lemon vinaigrette with cherry tomato, red onion, avocado, and edamame. Now I'm thinking kale and mushroom pasta is on the menu for next week.

Just chop and treat as spinach. WOW! I'm a very good cook, and I do not like kale. I like most greens, but have prepared it half a dozen ways, and have had it professionally prepared. I do not like it and consider it in the same class as okra....the only other veg I do not like.

My grandmom makes actual good jello, though not in a cool shape. It's rectangular. Strawberry and raspberry jello with crushed pineapple, strawberries, orange juice, and blobs of sour cream.
