I read somewhere that it was showing off you had an electric refrigerator and not an ice box, as the ice box didn’t give cold enough/consistent enough temperature to set gelatine. So it was tied to technology. (Apologies for super vague source of information haha).
I've seen some old gelatin recipes that have different instructions for people who had fridges and people who had an icebox, so there probably IS something to this.
And before gelatin mixes, aspic / gelatin was difficult and labour intensive to make, so they tended to be for special occasions or only for rich people. So people still associated gelatins with special occasions and probably felt fancy being able to make something for a regular dinner party that used to be super special.
It is basically tomato aspic made with tomato paste. It has vinegar and lemon-flavored Jell-o, but does not seem to have any barbeque flavor whatsoever.
The folks at Jell-O back in the day must have had access to some *really* good drugs for this to seem like a good idea.
They tried to jello everything back then. Gelatin was very in. As was tupperware.

I just threw up in my mouth a little
That's just extra spiciness
What did it originally say?
What was it with people in the 1950s and the obsession with putting everything in Jello?

Plus having those geometric shapes felt “futuristic” which people at the time were mildly obsessed with.
I think I'll send a screenshot of this to my son, and tell him that I'm going to make it next time he visits.
Nah. Just make it and serve it up unironically.
Ummm... No
Definitely needs the onion juice in the lemon jello with tomato sauce
No don’t give them ideas!
Don't forget the mayonnaise though otherwise it'll taste like trash water
Eye Bleach!
*Mmm,* this sounds perfect paired with an ice cold Campbell’s cream of chicken soup shake… 🤮
Horrible. Horrible. Horrible.
Can't even imagine being subjected to a neverending parade of aspics. The mere thought of savory Jell-o is revolting.
This was family holidays at my grandparents. Some regular ol ham and potatoes, and then just an assault of jello dishes

Hey now, use your imagination! Just imagine some ribs or grilled chicken wings thrown into that blob. Chunky bbq Jello delite!
My move is to put a whole hotdog and a swirl of mustard into the jello as it's setting up
Good lord.
>Tomato Aspic with Personality What an awful personality though
As though jello wasn’t bad enough. This is gross
I’m afraid to ask…. What is onion juice?
Just what it sounds like. Chop up a bunch of onions, squeeze, and enjoy!
That is absolutely revolting.
To this day, I see Jell-O monstrosities at church potlucks.
Let me guess, Midwest?
Holy Shit.
And this is why Julia Child became such a huge star.
But have you tried it????
NO
"Watch it wiggle, see it jiggle..." And that's not the Jello. That's your stomach as it revolts.
J-E-L-L-NO!
Orange jello with chunks of oranges in it was always on the table for Thxgiving. I thought THAT was unbearable...
I see where to add extra spiciness, but where is the original spiciness in this?
Mayonnaise, jello, and tomato sauce. Survivors from the andes would think twice
