If you think that this is a salad, I wonder what planet you are from. Recipe here for 7-layer gelatin salad.

LS said...: Interestingly enough, this type of jello salads are very popular in the Scandinavian cultures in the Midwest of the US, Minnesota and such :) Swedes love jello candy, such as Swedish fish and jello rats, so maybe a jello salad is just an evolved Swedish trait?; April 24, 2009 at 7:15 AM
Chad Lebo said...: A salad? Pshaw! With nary a bit of crispy bacon, ham, salami cubes, or a 1/2 pound of processed cheese, it does not deserve the name of an American salad. A jello mold, sure. But a salad. Not even remotely close to the FDA's strict salad standard #43.53.AS.2 Which clearly states: All American salads labeled as such must meet and/or exceed the average saturated fat content of a bacon and lard filled jelly donut.

(Wow, that really made me want bacon for supper tonight.); April 30, 2009 at 7:09 AM
LS said...: So Chad, is there any bacon in Madagascar?; April 30, 2009 at 9:36 PM
