People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option.

Did anyone ever actually eat this sort of thing, or was it just the recipe book equivalent of a fashion show? Or perhaps it's just regional. I sure as hell never ate that in the 70s.
Apparently my grandparents did in the 70s and thought themselves very futuristic for it. That being said my grandma is well known as the worst cook in the family and my grandpa was known for mixing all his food together “because it’s all going to the same place anyway”…
I feel like you're grandfather would use one of those meal replacements that were developed for special forces but were abandoned for everyone but U2 pilots or something because they had the texture of wet sawdust.
It was 'subtle' punishment for abusive husbands.
Normally these aspic dishes look vile but I might be able to get down with this one, provided the contents were cooked well.
That was just hold over food from the 50s. They were obsessed with gelatin back then, and plenty of them were still traumatizing us at family gatherings through the 80s.
That's twice I've posted that this week.
What's holding it together?

Didn't Rachel make this in Friends once by accident?
