Are mayo and sour cream based salads not a thing where you come from?
I’ll agree they don’t deserve to be called salads but they’re pretty common here. The OG potato or pasta salads everyone used to make for every occasion of course have no lettuce or cabbage in them, the greenest thing you may find is peas. The least salady salads of them all.
Of course, we have potato and pasta salads. Those are mostly potatoes or pasta, along with other ingredients, and the mayonnaise forms the base of the dressing, which the solids are tossed in. That photo just looks straight up like the whole thing is a brick of mostly mayo.
What’s wrong with tuna salad? Potato salad? Macaroni salad? Coleslaw (a kind of cabbage salad)? Mayo isn’t really all that different than many other salad dressings either. Also, pretty much any decent deli sandwich is basically a salad with meat and cheese dressed in mayo between two slices of bread.
The exclamation marks in “Surprise!” evoke the same energy as “Oops! All Berries,” like you’re biting into a “salad” and discovering it’s Oops! All Mayonnaise.
It was because aspics were meant to ‘contain’ stuff, not just be gross, savory Jell-O. Like, a traditional aspic salad would have various fruits suspended in it.
I think when gelatin became common in grocery stores, people were just all about the novelty. If you read cookbooks from the 50s that have these recipes in them, you see a commonality — people were just chuffed as chips that they could make a cake that jiggles lol.
Are you saying this
wasn’t cooked up by a pure well-meaning heart?
I mean… I’d try it. I might not like it, but I’ll give it a go.
Mayonnaise. Salad. I just…can’t.
Don’t worry, the recipe offers a seafood variant!
🤢
You’ll be delighted to know that the seafood version includes boiled hot dog chunks!
When did the definition of delighted change?
The ‘/s’ here is silent.
Around the same time the definition of “literally” was expanded to include “figuratively”

Sometimes, I don’t know how America avoided a collective heart attack before Kennedy was assassinated.
So do I understand cirrectly that this gelatine enables you to take any broth/soup and turn it into a cake?
They were all called “salads” for some obscene reason, but yes.
