I think it’s a thing specifically among southern boomers and older, but it feels like midwesterners should have loved it too. I have a relative that makes it for every holiday season. It’s so fucking disgusting. No one wants it, but she will force some of it onto your plate so that the serving platter doesn’t sit there completely full at the end of the night. She doesn’t even eat it herself! I have no idea why we all have to suffer for her bizarre idea of tradition.
midwesterners still make some of the slightly less hideous variations of those to this day
admittedly I don’t know if I’ve had a savory one in a long time but jello, canned mandarin orange, other canned fruit, cottage cheese, marshmallow, etc have all featured
Those boomer jello salads with cottage cheese, mayo, and canned fruit / veg, and sometimes marshmallows and olives for some cursed reason.
Never heard of that
