You don't say whether this abomination was "made" and enclosed in a sealed container...or just in a do it yourself box. *I* think that sending it pre-made & cooled would be... ummm... cool, but that would probably require a special messenger service....

maybe for Xmas...

Ya know, the gentleman doth protest too much, methinks. I think that olddude actually LOVES Jell-o, especially the green sort. Me, I hate USD 100.00 bills. Absolutely abhor them. Please don't send me any or I'll get sick to my stomach. Especially is big bunches of several hundred at once. PM me for my address.

OldDude, when you send the broccoli, I think you would be doing Steph a great kindness by chopping it, steaming it lightly, chilling it, and then folding it into some yummy lime Jell-O -- perhaps with some sardines, cherry tomatoes and mini-marshmallows for added intrigue -- in a sealable Tupperware gelatin mold. Pack in dry ice and FedEx, and Bob's your uncle. Well, not actually your uncle, but you get my drift.

Lime Jell-O with broccoli, sardines, cherry tomatoes and marshmallows? Would that be sardines in oil, mustard sauce, or tomato sauce? It makes a difference, you know.

The oil might interfere with the gelling process, unless the sardines were very well drained. I think I'd go with mustard.

I remember an old Jack Benny program from the "days beyond recall" when Don Wilson referred to Jello flavors as orange, lemon and slime.

Oh, well, the product did use up a lot of leftover gunk from the oil refinery process.

Watch it *wiggle
See it jiggle
Cool and fruity
Jell-o brand gelatin
Of all deserts
You'll love the one
That tastes so light
And makes such fun
Make Jell-o gelatin
And have some fun !

*Makes you think you are on a sea voyage and hello nausea....

There was a jingle like this but I don't remember it. The above found by google.
Put here just for olddude's birthday !

Make some green Jell-o, and just before it jells beat in some Cool-Whip and let it finish jelling. Stir in some cut fresh green beans for a crunch-filled flavor treat.

Oh, Olddude, I am so sorry to read that you received lime Jell-o which you hate. I imagine everyone out there in Mudcat Land knows I have similar feelings about Trader Joe's (or similar) bittersweet chocolate with almonds, right?

Oh, wait, it was a relative, not a 'Catter, who sent you the vile stuff. Never mind!

Do you donate unwanted packages of Jell-o to a food bank? Does a food bank even want it?

Green Jell-with white mini-marshmallows and shredded carrots: orange, white and green for St. Paddy's Day.

There were rumors in Catholic school that the nuns thought there was something immoral about Jello. The kids thought the nuns' anti-Jello attitude had something to do with sex - the sensual way Jello shimmered and wiggled and all that.

After 8 years of seminary education, I developed the same revulsion for Jello that the nuns had. It wasn't anything immoral, it's just that Jello was the only dessert they got, 90 percent of the time.

Remember Jell-O 123? You whipped it up and it set in three layers - Jell-O on the bottom, foamy Jell-O in the middle and creamy Jell-O on top. Came in green, I think and red and yellow.
Now does anyone here like Danish Dessert? Mom used to put it in a pie shell (real not graham cracker) and cover it in whipped cream. I scraped off the whipped cream. Still hate the stuff. Danish Dessert is sort of raspberry-cranberry flavored and a cross between pudding and Jell-O. Hard to find but occasionally it turns up at Hannaford's.

Here in Oz we have our own jelly - Aeroplane Jelly - & it's song, sung by 5 year old Joy King I like aeroplane jelly, aeroplane jelly for me ... is a national icon

I'm not a dessert eater so it's been decades since I had Aeroplane Jelly, every mum's easy dessert, served with fruit & cream or icecream & loved by all kids.

I had fun reading this page - especially when I came to the bit where a video of a parody of our politicians was removed by the owner. I assume the video was done by occasional Mudcatter Canberra Chris & his fellow Shiny Bum Singers, who don't seem to have a Youtube presence any more.

We used to have Danish Dessert and it was wonderful, just as we enjoyed (home-made) tapioca.

What olddude probably doesn't know is that the Germans fed Jell-o to their POWs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. After a couple of days their will was broken and they'd talk: the Germans would spill all of their war plans to the POWs and the POWs would complain about the Jell-O.

It's still used as a training tool for CIA agents, Navy SEALs, the US Army Special Forces, the SAS and SBS, and the rest. It's figured that if you're tough enough to face Jell-O you can face anything.

Eat it, olddude. It builds character!

Joe
are you saying it is my catholic up bringing :-)
But the nuns were right .. Jello is the cause of all man's problems. There would be peace in the world if it were not for that.
Sins, you have my apologies. I will wait for the jello filled lobster before I accuse you again

Dan,
Are you headed to the Getaway? We can put in a special request for lime Jell-O at every meal. Sole in lime Jell-O aspic; Easter eggs made of Jell-O molded in a blown out real egg for breakfast (a little extra slime for those who indulge...). You get the idea.
