Reminded me of the scene in a Third Rock from the Sun episode where one of them is in the hospital. The nurse brings in some lime jello and they all start screaming in terror.

Whatever happened to corned beef and cabbage and soda bread?
That’s what we’ve always done.
And we’re not even Irish.

As if corned beef and cabbage weren’t bad enough, green, gunky slime for your St. Patrick’s Day pleasure.

There isn’t one millimeter that’s the least bit appetizing. Looks like a variety of brain matter.

My parents came from Europe in 1950. Mercifully, that spared our household most of these mid-century horrors. Nobody who learned to cook in Europe would have used this much food dye or poured Jello into a can of pineapple. We saw plenty of Jello molds at potlucks over the years though. Whoever was in charge of marketing Jello and KoolAid was very effective in the job.
The rise of processed food has a certain cringe factor to it in retrospect, but it had some advantages. My mom related to me that when they first came to America, there was very little produce available in stores in the winter. We're accustomed now to a full range of fresh produce from California, Florida and South America, but that didn't exist out of season for most people. She used to be able to get a few types of canned veggies, but that was about it until the technology for fresh-frozen veggies improved. That's also when they started seeing frozen OJ and strawberries. Seasonal produce was abundant for part of the year, but certainly not in the variety we have today.

I'm a dago, but every year we have corned beef and cabbage, tons of potatoes, green beans, onions, a few carrots for color and a heavy, brown, German bread.
I love it for several days, once a year.
I will buy some Guinness and some Murphy's Stout and celebrate St. Pat's Day.

I have never been a fan of congealed salads/aspics. I can handle fruit cocktail in jello, but that’s it.
