#14 out of 59, but ugh I always gagged at the jello fruit salads.

Flame away and have fun.

Have you ever had Watergate Salad?

I remember my mom and aunt’s making that ... I really liked it.

[ClearCase_guy]

I remember quite a few of these from the 70s. Some of the dishes still hold up just fine. Others are a little ... cringey.

Now that was a very FUN review of recipes!!!!

For many years my lovely spouse has always made fluff salads. This past Thanksgiving she made cherry fluff salad, and it was delicious, although I’m not sure why it’s referred to as a “salad”.

Some look very good! Is forgotten about rum balls cookies.

I won’t be making anything this year. Will turn that over to the chef on our cruise. 🛳️

If nothing else, one can appreciate the efficiency of a dish served in “log” configuration.

[Libloather]

Something for everyone.

"ham chowder"

For many centuries, Advent, from four (typically) Sundays before Christmas, through Christmas Eve, was a time of fasting, and meat, milk, and eggs, could not be eaten. Fish could be eaten.

So Christmas dishes typically contain copious amounts of milk, sometimes preserved as cheese, or butter, and eggs, which had been stockpiled for a month, and meat, but not fish, because people were tired of eating fish all through Advent.

We stick to the tried and true. Prime rib, yorkshire pudding, “crispy” potatoes, glazed carrots, green beans and scallions, au jus, ambrosia and buche de noel.

Did Kommie-la provide a recipe for her ‘word salad’? (Snort)

Candle Salad

BRANDY SLUSH!!!!

I’ve been looking for this drink for 40 years.

A neighbor from parts unknown served this and maybe I had the recipe once.

I do remember frozen apple juice and orange juice. Tea and brandy rounds it out.

Thank you so much :)

I pretty much avoid anything with sugar, period. A small piece of pie for dessert is enough.

[Qiviut]

Ping! Some of these recipes brought back memories & that’s where they’ll stay :-) A couple I would probably make.

#9 Baked Ham and Pineapple was GOOD!!!!

I loved the cooked pineapple and Marachino cherries.

#16 Rum Balls and 24 Ham Chowder sound good.
