Recipes from Hell: Yam and Sausage Skillet with Easy Perfection Salad

[morwen_peredhil]

From Better Homes & Gardens Jiffy Cooking (1967). You want Jell-O? I'll give you Jell-O. I imagine the result here is something like that horribly sweet, cheap sweet-and-sour sauce bad Chinese restaurants use, except even grosser. And have I mentioned my lifelong fanatical loathing of yams

No, I don't make them. I don't understand why anyone, anywhere, ever would make them (with the possible exception of some of the war-ration recipes), which is why I find them so fascinating.

However! I really should make a few of the worst ones (the WWII ration lima bean and peanut butter loaf and the molded salad that contained both blue cheese and limeade, for example), take pictures, and actually taste test them. Make H taste them, too, to pay him back for giving me this cold.

I can't tell you that, but as soon as I saw its clever - and by "clever" I mean "appalling" - use of Jell-O, I knew it belonged here.

Those both sound utterly revolting. Well done!

Thank you!
