My Grandmother made #1 and served it for every Christmas dinner I can remember before she died. I can make it as well; however, I have not made it since I could make the choice not to. She also made Strawberry Pretzel Salad. It is actually one of my favorite desserts.

I remember having to look at (but never touched) a lot of similar dishes; mostly holiday fare.

An oldie along similar lines...

I think the first one is the only non-Jell-O recipe. It also sounds like one of the more stomachable ones.

I thought the funniest bit was about the fish....like the picture with the caption below it: "WHY DID YOU GIVE ME LIFE."

I was just laughing out loud and Shin was like "what are you laughing at". I tried to explain it, but he really has to experience it for himself.

I think I remember the graham cracker Jell-O creations. Though I think I remember it more like the strawberry was mixed with the cream so it was a pink wobbly thing on top of a graham cracker crust. I do know several friends who totally rave about ambrosia salad, which is kinda similar. Like fruit Jell-O with mini marshmallows and I think shredded coconut. I never liked the stuff.

My great aunt, Gertie, is Finnish and when I was a kid she used to make and bring to my Grandparents' for holidays a pickled herring-beet-apple-mayonnaise "salad". I used to eat some to be nice (and I was taught to finish my food) but eventually my mom told me I didn't have to eat it any more and I stopped.

Those Scandinavians are a little weird, though. A friend introduced me to this concept (though I've never tried it, though I'm kinda curious what it's like): http://www.thekitchn.com/smrgstrta-roun ... kes-164638

It's like not quite a cake but not a sandwich either (I think the "frosting" is often made of sweetened mayo with cream or something like that).

I have to admit I like deviled ham and chicken...they're probably similar to the potted meat. But with those ingredients, I say "no thank you" to that potted meat stuff. Eww
