Okay - Unbelievers - People make Jello with vegetables suspended in it slathered with mayo.

135. I remember this

I was born in the 70's but have a good memory - this stuff showed up at every church gathering I went to when I would visit my grandparents (my parents were not church goers) and often at our extended family gatherings. I distinctly remember the first time I tried it - I must've been about 4. I saw jello and got all excited. It had whipped cream and everything! I told my mom I wanted jello. She warned me. "That is not dessert jello, that is salad jello and I don't think you'll like it." No matter, nothing she said could change my mind. I had to have the jello!

I remember the first horrendous bite - the cabbage, the carrots and then the lime. EW! I was so disappointed I cried. Thankfully, my mom didn't make me finish it like she normally would. She sure snickered a lot though. I do remember enjoying the whipped cream. It was cool whip which was a novelty to me back then. I don't think the one I tried had mayo.

I don't think I've seen such a thing at gatherings anymore though in the last decade and a half. I thought that horrendous fad had died out. I guess not.

I still dislike mixing savory and sweet. It took the longest time for me to even consider berries on a salad, lol. It probably stems from the lime jello salad experience, no doubt.
