Those you could get up here too, though I don't recall actually seeing many of them in the past few years. They were generally all red jello or a mix of red, green, and orange, I think.

We were looking through old gelatin meal things and there is some crazy stuff. We were so fascinated with it all we actually thought about having a 70's themed party to try and make some of this stuff.

Imagine this: entire loaf of spam, (or some pressed meat thing), hollowed out with some manner of lime jello concoction on the inside (it was always lime jello according to my step-mother, because flavourless wasn't really a thing), cover the whole thing in some manner of mayo sauce thing and decorations, serve on a platter and slice. The jello creations looked so elaborate that I can't imagine they would be in any way convenient to make.

Anyone for jello tuna?? Courtesy of a Buzzfeed article I spotted while google image searching "1970s jello recipes" just now.
