It's so ugly 🤢 I made it as a joke for my favorite cousin's wedding potluck! We are both appalled but get enough drinks in me and I'll be cutting into this for the lol's but he's requiring me to make one for every family event now.

The chicken broth came out way darker than I expected but next time I'm sticking to clear and I want to try and make a forest scape with broccoli!

10/10 was very fun to make and highly recommend it!

    I’m sure it’s heinous but the jello is a gorgeous color!

    A+!

    That shade of yellow gives it a true 70’s vibe.

    I fear for your safety after you arrive with that.

    This is awesome. I’m still waiting for the perfect occasion to make the poached egg aspic in The Art of French Cooking. It’s going to blow minds.

    It’s hideous in the best way! I’m having a Beetlejuice flashback and expecting the jello mold to reach out and grab my face.

    I hope it had a great name like “Jade Shrimp with Coral Sauce”

  7. This reminds me of a less well-received potluck contribution of my own making.

    It was a lumpy cucumber mousse made with thick cream, molded and served cold. I forgot to add the salt.

    It was truly disgusting in taste, all the more so because people dug in expecting it to be lime jello-cottage cheese-pineapple fruit salad. Blah.

    As long as you used unflavored animal based gelatin it might actually taste decent.

    If you used jello then you’re screwed.

  9. I think it’s pretty. I’d try it. šŸ™‚ Did you? How was it?

    Looks amazing!! Well donešŸ˜šŸ‘

    I thought that was a pickle gelatin “salad”.

  12. ummusername

    Is it just chicken broth and gelatin? Great color choice for the intent!

  13. Vesper2000

    This is beautifully done, and I hope it’s delicious, but the shrimp make me think of sea monsters just below the surface of the water šŸŒŠšŸ¦‘

    oh goodness! ummm is that ketchup in the middle?

    The Judas cradle, for you and your uber driver

  16. JannyBroomer

    Looks like Jello with Little Caesar’s Crazy Bread dipping sauce in the middle, A+

  17. What ever you do, be kind and don’t take an uber to the event. (This is a reference to something)

    Wait til they glow with the radioactivity. They will be so beautiful!

    I read your caption and description aloud to my husband. Then I showed him the picture and his response was Oh… my….God! Did they not have eyes in the 60s?

  20. odd_perspective_

    I was hoping it was pickle juice aspic.

    For gross-looking, but delicious-tasting, jello monstrosities, our family likes ā€œtestingā€ the cousins’ latest boyfriends/girlfriends by giving them a bowl of ā€œjello saladā€.

    Soften a package of cream cheese and blend/mix in to prepared warm, liquid lime jello. Then stir in a can of mandarin oranges. Set in the fridge.

    The cream cheese turns the jello the same color of 70’s jadeite Tupperware and white clumps rise to the surface. Mandarin sections pop through. It’s creamy and tasty, but looks god-awful. From my Caucasian dad’s midwestern family. I’ve seen some use whipped cream, cool whip, cottage cheese, etc. and all flavors of jello, but cream cheese and lime is my favorite.
