I think I was forced to eat that as a small child once or twice.
Why I won't eat jello to this day.
Whoever thought this was a good idea, let alone "food" or even appetizing?

I think that was an experiment where the Jello Cartel locked a bunch of Home Economics Teachers in a lab and wouldn’t let them come out until they ‘invented’ something! ;)
Lime Jello with thinly sliced celery, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, chopped rex apples, and pecans in it is actually very good... and refreshing if you live in a hot part of the country or if other dishes served ar on the heavy side.

Jello salad didn’t really taste that bad.. it just want good. It was something that was served in the school cafeteria. It was a do ahead salad in a time when refrigeration was limited and husbands didn’t help out in the kitchen. It wasn’t really a Thanksgiving dish at our house when we were kids. Actually my mother and Grandmother never made it. They were more in to cream sauce on everything, peas, corn, potatoes, you name it and they would put a cream sauce on it,
