Dishes or recipes that were popular when you were were growing up, that seemed odd (then or now!)
I liked to read my mom's beautiful cookbooks all the time, and often helped her cook.
One recipe that always wigged me out was anything in A****-style. Chicken or beef especially.
It looked so 'weird', seeing meats & vegetables suspended in cloudy gelatin.
I also never quite got Prune Whip. As a child especially, you associate desserts with chocolate or vanilla, not prunes!
Did taste this dish once, when I was grown. It wasn't bad.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.

I remember seeing Fruit Jello when I was young too, and not liking it much.
Still don't.
But I WILL say I enjoy Lime Jello with diced canned pears. That is the exception, its yummy.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.

fondue
Good call there. I NEVER quite understood fondue either.
I used to help older people clean out their homes when they moved or were doing a heavy Spring Cleanup, and it seemed like every person born in the '50s or '60s had a fondue pot..or three..lying around.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.

What kinds of cheese do you like to melt for the fondue, nutsberry?

Sorry, they weren't strange, but i'd like to share anyway
Enchilada cassies, chicos and beans, homemade beef and bean burritos w/ homemade tortillas, tuna noodle cassies, hamburger fried rices, (just hamburger, onion, rice, and soy topped w/ green onions) chicken and rice cassies w/ cream soups mixed in.
We also had lots of stews, and soups, Americanized tacos., spaghetti casseroles. scrambled eggs with potatoes, homemade hamburger red and green chili, Spanish rice. ,and some Hamburger Helpers. The crock pot was a big deal too.
Dessert was usually lemon, or orange cake from a box with a drizzle of powdered sugar, mixed w/ a lil almond flavoring, or oatmeal cookies BC they were cheap. We also used the "Jiffy" mixes, and "Bisquick" mixes., BC they too were cheap. Powdered eggs, and milk too., along w/ government cheese (soooo good), canned meats. (commodities). Mom always used the fat from the meat drippings to save more money to fry or bake w like biscuits or like I mentioned earlier homemade torts.. Pure Deliciousness! We seldom drank soda, but mostly milk, and iced teas.
Good Times, smells, and memories. I grew up in the 70's. early 80's. We ate out sometimes at places like; the Royal Fork Restaurant, Big Boy's, Smorgasbord Restaurant, Pizza Hut Buffets, McDonald's happy meals(if we were super-good)., and Taco House.
My Dad was a painter, and Mom was a stay @ home. Sometimes work was seasonal, sometimes real steady. I want to go backAlgren: There is Life in every breath

I didn't care for the government cheese (we ate a lot of it for about a year, after my dad was laid up w/ a back injury).
But I LOVED government butterit came in a 1 pound brick. Still the best butter I have ever tasted.still!
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.

I hate tuna fish so that wouldn't appeal anyway, but it still looks frightening there lol!
I love bacon but that doesn't look so great either.

I remember seeing recipes for that EVERYWHERE for a while!
I never made it, but I did have it served to me once at a friend's house for Christmas dinner.
I hated it, but I ate it to be polite.

I was very curious as to what Tomato Soup Salad could be, so I Googled it.
I kinda see what you mean. It doesn't sound very appetizing to me either.
