![]() ![]()  And today came the fateful day when I had to eat the thing.įor various reasons, this has been an emotional week for me.  It went into the fridge overnight to get good and hard. ![]() The canned meat was already ground, so I spooned it into the Jell-O, mixed it together, and poured it into a loaf pan. ![]()  I wasn’t sure if that made me sad about canned corned beef or envious of cats.  To my horror, it smelled exactly like cat food. When it came time to fold the corned beef into the partially set jello, I cracked the can open.  However, my grocery store does have an impressive selection of canned meats, and I selected one of several brands of tinned corned beef.  And since Jell-O is designed to be the ultimate convenience food, it didn’t make sense to me to make corned beef from scratch.  And then I un-canned the corned beef.Īlthough I have access to an incredibly diversity of products in my neighborhood, I’ve always had trouble tracking down fresh corned beef.  After chilling it for 30 minutes, I folded in Dijon mustard.  So I bravely dissolved a packet of lemon Jell-O in hot water, beef stock, and Worcestershire sauce. Of course I was intrigued to try this recipe something so bizarre and unthinkable in today’s culinary world begs to reexamined, brought to light for the wonder or horror it truly is.  According to this pamphlet, it could be “chicken mousse ” it could be “molded crab meat ” but today, it will be beef.  Take a moment to imagine what Jell-O entree entails.  This booklet is largely characterized by illustrations of supremely elegant ladies dining upon Jell-O, including Jell-O entrees. This recipe comes from a 1931 pamphlet entitled Thrifty Jell-O Recipes to Brighten You Menus. It took me a long time to write this post today, because it took me a long time to steel myself up for what I had to eat. ![]()
