Watergate. Jim Jones. ABBA. If you have any doubt that the 1970s were a confused, disturbing time, just look at what they were doing with Jell-O brand gelatin dessert. The New Joys of Jell-O is a glimpse into the void at the heart of a lost people. I don't want to give too much away, but the weak-stomached among you should know that sauerkraut makes an appearance...

Chicken Mousse
The only way this could be grosser is if it contained actual moose.

Jellied Gazpacho
I'm no gazpacho expert, but I don't think the recipe traditionally calls for you to "break up with fork before serving."

Salmon Dill Mousse, Creamy Bleu Cheese Salad, Fresh Fruit Salad (L to R)
Make your special day even specialer with a glutinous buffet of shame. I now pronounce you gross and disgusting.

Molded Ham and Egg Salad
Nobody tell Hardee's about this one.

Spanish Tuna Salad
I'm told it's even better in Barcelona.

Glazed Hors d'Oeuvres
From the last chapter in the book, fittingly titled "Things You Never Thought Of". Even better would've been "Things You've Only Eaten In Your Nightmares".

Although my stomach turned with every page, I learned a lot reading The New Joys of Jell-O. I learned that Jell-O can be a versatile, disgusting addition to any meal. I learned how America lost its way. And most of all, I learned that maybe sometimes, there isn't room for Jell-O.
