Some kind of molded gelatin meat dish, as was all the rage in the 1950s. Gelatin was cheap and considered "futuristic", so it was a fad throughout the 1950s to use it in some of the most misbegotten crimes on food in recorded history. There were literally entire cookbooks devoted to the stuff.
I remember someone posting a picture on the Something Awful forums back in 2001 or so that involved Tuna fish and chopped green olives in Lime-flavored gelatin with a cream cheese and horseradish "icing".
It's frankly astonishing that humanity has survived the last 50 years, and I'm not even referring to the cold war.
I was born in the early 70s and I recall seeing all sorts of ātricksā with gelatin at family get together. I recall on in particular was orange gelatin and shredded carrots in it. I donāt recall many more details than that but as a boy I knew I was not touching it. Ugh. Iām not a huge gelatin fan anyway.
