Are you in the mood for "tomato aspic with personality"?
Yeah, I don't really know what that means either. But I love these old weird recipes featured in so many advertisements from womens' magazines in the 1950s.
Barbeque Salad
From Woman's Home Companion, February 1954
1 package Lemon or Orange Jell-O
1 1/4 cups hot water
1 can (eight ounces) tomato sauce
1 1/2 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash of pepper
Dissolve Jell-O in hot water. Add tomato sauce and other ingredients. Blend. Pour into individual molds. Chill until firm. You can serve four to six people for about a nickel each.
NOTE: For extra spiciness, add any of the following before chilling: onion juice, seasoning or celery salt, cayenne, Worcestershire sauce, pepper sauce, or horseradish.
If you actually eat this, let me know and I will send you a prize. I'm serious. You deserve props for eating spicy, tomato-y Jello. God knows I never would.
