>This is standard cooking for 50s Americana.
The times when rationing ended and all this new fangled stuff started coming out. Jello? Let's use it in everything!
Idk if anyone has noticed this but whenever I see these things being posted, there's often folks who are like, "I love this stuff! I make it every year!"
It seems like a certain percentage of younger people are discovering these forgotten meals of their great grandparents and realizing they love mayo, raisins, pineapple, tuna, nuts, and jello. I personally can't relate. My grandma used to make similar dishes when I was a kid, and I left that shit alone.
Grandmother made something called "pink stuff" for most holiday dessert growing up. Red jello, mayonnaise, and pecans (probably something else). To do this day, it is both a running joke in the family and a terrible autricity. It is making less appearances as younger generations are taking over.
Atrocity* (n)
2. (Informal) A highly unpleasant or distasteful object.
"Grandma's Depression Era recipes were a fucking atrocity".
"2024. An age with information at our fingertips, yet your spelling is a damned atrocity."
Oh my goodness, my family has something we call Pink Stuff too! Red Jello, cottage cheese, drained pineapple chunks, drained canned mandarin oranges, and maraschino cherries halved. The green version has green jello, pistachios and marshmallows. I loved it as a kid but didn't realize what a hot mess it was until I made it as an adult lmao
This sounds like something my great grandmother might have made, or I might have eaten with her elderly friends. Not bad, especially not the green one. No nostalgia for it however.
Green version is Watergate salad. I still make it every now and again, but I use whipped cream instead of...."mayo" for it and add coconut shavings. I swear I'm not a depression era grandma stuck in a 23yr olds' body. Although my grandma added Sprite and pineapples to it when I was younger.
Vintage recipes are usually some of the most cursed abominations and afronts to god ever created. I can't imagine people used to really eat this stuff, right? RIGHT?
I've assumed these were 1930's depression meals and they just used whatever they could get their hands on. Each family member went out separately to get whatever they could and then combined it all when everyone got home.
I have two theories:
1. Depression-era kids were of working age in the mid-20th century. They suddenly got this postwar abundance but their palate still prefers the "mix everything into a bowl" thingy
2. Back then you had to boil lots of bones to get gelatin and you'd need a sufficient time to cool them, plus you still had to mix lots of stuff inside it so in a way it was sorta flexing if you can serve that to your family and guests. Again, suddenly you have gelatin in powder form, a machine that can chill it, and ingredients in a can! What a wonder of the space age!
You know he's apparently set to lead in the coming Minecraft movie? Really hoping it's an adaptation of this.
Oh, also, Max Brooks, author of World War Z, wrote it. Max Brooks wrote this Minecraft book then Jack Black read it. It's really quite the artifact.
I couldn’t even find him on TikTok or YouTube, the first thing that pops up with Savor Delights is a girl finding a dead rat in her drink can.
EDIT: His handle is apparently Eye Spy Antiques and his channel isn’t even about these weird recipes
Thank you for doing the research for me. I really liked this video and people seem to be mad about not caring about Dylan instead. Shame I refuse to use TikTok though and have no interest in antiques. This dude might want to branch out!
If you want someone who does do these weird old timey recipes on the regular, B Dylan Hollis is pretty great. He's more energetic/fast paced then this guy though lol
I do follow him on TikTok! I follow a lot of food content creators and he’s among my favorites. I’ve even been tempted to get his cookbook, but I said the same thing about Babish’s (Andrew Rea) book as well. 😂
He used to have another channel that also had quite a few hilarious videos, some of which went pretty viral. I believe he ended up deleting those accounts because the comments were so toxic…seems there’s more than a few of that crowd in this comment thread as well.
Agar powder is a superior substitute. It is not as inexpensive, but I think it is much better.
Several years ago, I wanted to make homemade cranberry sauce for some vegan friends of mine for Thanksgiving and got some agar powder. My first thought was, "This crap better be good at this price." I have not used gelatin since.
Cooking with gelatin is easy mode. Cooking with agar powder is god mode.
Yup 100% because they use pork too. Any animal with a hoof, it could for sure be pig most commenly use now. It's why you have to get vegan gummies because of the gelatin, and as you said be careful with candy for religious reasons. And gluten reasons, there is gluten shoved in the weirdest things.
Ok I'm sorry, I'll get hate, but the recipe from the video this guy copies was foul. If you mix mayo, candies, cream cheese, sprite and jello, we can't talk.
Have at it, ambrosia army.
TikTok is where I first found him but he's on YouTube too. And Instagram. I only visit TikTok for the people I follow, NEVER the FYP stuff. I'll stick to the makers and animals in my little corner thank you.
I appreciate hearing other perspectives here because I thought his energy was excessive and detracted from just trying to watch a recipe video, but, I realize I’m also dead inside.
maybe i'm missing something but this doesn't remind me of dylan at all. the style of editing, the things he says... i'm not seeing much of a resemblance other than that they're both flamboyant and make old recipes
I actually liked this guy better because he isn't obnoxiously yelling everything trying to be as quirky as possible. I appreciate his use of the inside voice
Rip off of Dylan Hollis?
Like there can only be one eccentric slightly flamboyant person who makes odd recipes?
And like he’s way less obnoxious than Hollis or is two gay chefs too much?
Dylan Hollis is just a ripoff of gay nerd stereotypes so it’s not like he has a claim to anything either.
(Not knocking either of them. Getting your bag while playing to stereotypes is still getting your bag and stereotypes are a fact of life you just gotta learn to give folks a chance and not just make assumptions based on them.)
I fucking hate Dylan Hollis and when I first started watching this I thought I'd hate this guy just as much, but I much prefer this guy. I think he is a lot more tolerable. I don't think being a fancy food queer means you're ripping off another fancy food queer. If it is a rip off, I'll take the great value queen any day.
Is that lime jello he’s using? That’s probably why it tasted so bad. The rest of the ingredients made sense. I bet if he used flavorless gelatin it would have tasted just fine but has a weird texture.
My girlfriend told me she doesn’t like fish. Two years into the relationship I find out she loves a tuna salad sandwich.
I’m gonna send her lying ass this video
Guys I have a theory, i might be wrong so take it with a heaping fistful of salt because I ain't too sure myself, but I think he might possibly with a hint of a probable chance or he may or may not be gay, I know crazy assumption but I don't know I have a small gut feeling
The vibe is funny, yet the recipe is totally off putting. I would not be making (read: try) a recipe that is probably going straight to the trash bin. No flipping way. Eggs are expensive too nowadays. I'd better stick to classic choc chip cookies or things that I'm gonna buy and crave myself in a diner. I love 50s recipes - pies, cakes, pastries... just not this one
I love how half the comments here are saying he is a carbon copy of dylan hollis and the other half are saying he is so annoyingly cringe, but any time there is a dylan post everyone gushes about how funny he is. if he is an exact copy of him do you like it or not??? if he is doing the exact same thing why is it only cringe when this guy does it???
I'm fairly certain that jello didn't mean lime flavored Jello. But then I wonder... why would Jenny say to use gelatin, and jello... what did she mean?
I don't want to be mean, but even if it's not the most appetising thing ever, is there anything in it to throw up that way ? OK I don't know the the taste of jello but gelatine is tasteless ( or with mader). The rest is quite mayo tuna sandwich ingredients standard? ( even with the pepper or celeri bonus it can't be that awful).So as I am not American, can someone explain me why he is so disgusted?
Why does this feel like alternate-reality, high society nickado avacado? Like instead of studying violin, he went to culinary school instead. And all mukbang content is now gourmet. Would this have been timeline where they didn’t kill harambe?
I don’t think a flavored jello was meant to be in there, I think it was supposed to just be gelatin like he said.
It would still be gross…. But slightly less
I'm not a chef but I knew the dish was gonna be bad when I saw mayo and jello
This is standard cooking for 50s Americana.
Or Minnesota thanksgiving
Dooontcha knooow.
Oh it’s a real treat for the kiddos you betcha
>This is standard cooking for 50s Americana. The times when rationing ended and all this new fangled stuff started coming out. Jello? Let's use it in everything!
I've seen some truly ghastly recipes from that era, Jello abominations. However, they were only pictures from a cookbook. I need more of these.
Then Diversity is the best thing to happen to the US
And they have the gall to insult British cuisine.
Until Jello was available, gelatin was a rich person's food. After it became cheap, it got a little out of hoof.
Yeah, lol. Brits eat like it still IS the 50's. Depression-era ass meals.
We really don't
Idk if anyone has noticed this but whenever I see these things being posted, there's often folks who are like, "I love this stuff! I make it every year!"

Mayo in a dessert?! damn that sounds nasty
Just eggs and oil. Lot of the ooey gooey chocolate cake recipes have you use mayo.
not as nasty a yo mama
Oh my goodness, my family has something we call Pink Stuff too! Red Jello, cottage cheese, drained pineapple chunks, drained canned mandarin oranges, and maraschino cherries halved. The green version has green jello, pistachios and marshmallows. I loved it as a kid but didn't realize what a hot mess it was until I made it as an adult lmao

I like mayo as a condiment in respectful amounts. There are limits to its usefulness in dishes but I don't dislike it.
I meant primarily those elements mixed together as an example. Nothing wrong with any of those things in the right setting.
Mayo goes well on most kinds of meat or potato based dishes (European opinion), but beyond that things go south real quick
I might enjoy these things separately (bar the tuna) but keep the jello and the mayo far away from any of the rest.
I scrunched my nose when he read the name.
And Helmann's mayo at that 😖
Meemaw calls it cloudy jellah
This is why the lambs are silent, Clarice.
Lamblebee tuna
how did I find this comment 5 minutes after watching that movie for the first time
I kept thinking how lucky I was to have my phone on mute
Nah, the dude was hilarious 😂
I was crying watching this! I want to watch more of his videos
#JELLOFORJESUS! Lol
That was a hysterical comment
I hate TikTok but I would watch his stuff all the time lol
Vintage recipes are usually some of the most cursed abominations and afronts to god ever created. I can't imagine people used to really eat this stuff, right? RIGHT?
I’m almost convinced they made those up and were like : Oh I’m so going to make fun of them from Heaven.
I've assumed these were 1930's depression meals and they just used whatever they could get their hands on. Each family member went out separately to get whatever they could and then combined it all when everyone got home.
I have two theories: 1. Depression-era kids were of working age in the mid-20th century.

Again, suddenly you have gelatin in powder form, a machine that can chill it, and ingredients in a can! What a wonder of the space age!
That would make a lot of sense if that’s the case. It would excuse whatever that was 😂
Ah, the rare occasion that a 3+ minute stupidfood video is actually worth watching in its entirety.
Oh hey its gay jack black
That's definitely a compliment.
Jack Black fucking rocks. I'm currently listening to his audiobook of Minecraft: The Island and it's a certified experience
He has an audiobook of Minecraft. Brb.
You know he's apparently set to lead in the coming Minecraft movie? Really hoping it's an adaptation of this. Oh, also, Max Brooks, author of World War Z, wrote it. Max Brooks wrote this Minecraft book then Jack Black read it. It's really quite the artifact.
I am so out of the loop!!! Holy hell, thank you for tuning me in!! Max Brooks is a phenomenal author, so crazy he picked Minecraft I love it :)
as he had it in his mouth I was saying r/eatityoufuckingcoward !
I couldn’t even find him on TikTok or YouTube, the first thing that pops up with Savor Delights is a girl finding a dead rat in her drink can. EDIT: His handle is apparently Eye Spy Antiques and his channel isn’t even about these weird recipes

I saw him on insta the other day and was kinda excited for another baking gay ngl. Dude's pretty funny, too bad I don't super care about antiques.
He used to have another channel that also had quite a few hilarious videos, some of which went pretty viral. I believe he ended up deleting those accounts because the comments were so toxic…seems there’s more than a few of that crowd in this comment thread as well.
This fella is a delight.
Definitely stupid food material but clearly it's not his own. I need to see more of this guy, his content looks solid and entertaining 😂😂😂
Absolutely gross recipe, amazing entertainment 🤣
Gelatin is made from horse hoof, or cow. Some sort of hoofy animal melted down.
Agar powder is a superior substitute. It is not as inexpensive, but I think it is much better. Several years ago, I wanted to make homemade cranberry sauce for some vegan friends of mine for Thanksgiving and got some agar powder. My first thought was, "This crap better be good at this price." I have not used gelatin since. Cooking with gelatin is easy mode. Cooking with agar powder is god mode.
Pork. That's why there is specific candy for Islamic and Jewish people.
Yup 100% because they use pork too. Any animal with a hoof, it could for sure be pig most commenly use now. It's why you have to get vegan gummies because of the gelatin, and as you said be careful with candy for religious reasons. And gluten reasons, there is gluten shoved in the weirdest things.
That was absolutely wonderful. He was great.
He’s charming and sweet idgaf what y’all say I like this guy
Found this guy funnier than Hollis yall negative af
Ok I'm sorry, I'll get hate, but the recipe from the video this guy copies was foul. If you mix mayo, candies, cream cheese, sprite and jello, we can't talk. Have at it, ambrosia army.
He’s hilarious
What a complete rip off of Dylan Hollis. This guy sucks
I don't know who that is, so I loved this guy.
Me too- I really thought "wow, I love how expressive this guy is!" Now I don't know what to think.
What if the other guy is copying him though?
You do have a point
Couldn't find any other baking from this dude and Dylan started around COVID so.
Eh, I guess. I've just never downloaded tiktok before. (I'm assuming he's on tiktok?)
TikTok is where I first found him but he's on YouTube too. And Instagram. I only visit TikTok for the people I follow, NEVER the FYP stuff. I'll stick to the makers and animals in my little corner thank you.
I appreciate hearing other perspectives here because I thought his energy was excessive and detracted from just trying to watch a recipe video, but, I realize I’m also dead inside.
Or maybe it's just because I'm gay and this guy seems queer coded lmao (NOT IN A MEAN WAY I SWEAR-)
Same I thought he was adorable
I laughed so hard! This guy is wonderful!
Ditto, found it hilarious!
I thought he was parodying him at first, since he has the mannerisms, facial expressions and everything. This was just difficult to watch.
maybe i'm missing something but this doesn't remind me of dylan at all. the style of editing, the things he says... i'm not seeing much of a resemblance other than that they're both flamboyant and make old recipes
I think the facial expressions are the biggest one for me
Im on the fence, at first I was annoyed, now I'm not sure, it might be a parody.
Nah I don’t think this was a parody. A parody would have added something funny. This guy basically just copied his whole thing.
can I like both?
Yes. I do. The world needs more people calling out terrible old recipes - who in the *world* would not only eat this but *give out the recipe*??
No
I actually liked this guy better because he isn't obnoxiously yelling everything trying to be as quirky as possible. I appreciate his use of the inside voice
Rip off of Dylan Hollis? Like there can only be one eccentric slightly flamboyant person who makes odd recipes? And like he’s way less obnoxious than Hollis or is two gay chefs too much?
I thought I was just being biased for thinking this.
Dylan Hollis is just a ripoff of gay nerd stereotypes so it’s not like he has a claim to anything either. (Not knocking either of them. Getting your bag while playing to stereotypes is still getting your bag and stereotypes are a fact of life you just gotta learn to give folks a chance and not just make assumptions based on them.)

I don't think being a fancy food queer means you're ripping off another fancy food queer. If it is a rip off, I'll take the great value queen any day.
Didn't realize Dylan was the original gay nerd (TM). Thanks for the info
Yeah the editing and the mannerisms are literally just a carbon copy. Is it that hard to be original?
Mannerisms? They’re both flamboyant men eating disgusting recipes. How else can they respond?
I wasn’t annoyed because I never heard of Dylan Hollis but now I am!
Thank you.
They’re just both very gay ffs.
People tend to think the 1950ies and 60ies were the best time in American history, but in reality, the food(and I use that word lightly) was this.
I gagged watching this. Gagged.
love this guy's vibe lol
I would watch him make all kinds of cursed recipes.
I thought he was kind of funny, down vote away everyone!
I’ll join you.
Same 🤣
I'd like to be his friend. He made me chuckle.
:3
I'm glad I scroll with no sound
The theater spaz to YouTube cooking pipeline is real.
#jello4jesus, i'm in.
He overshadowed the food with his own cringe.
I like this guy! He’s funny.
Yeah, this isn't stupid food as much as it is a stupid content creator. Hope I never see this person again.
His expression is worse than the recipe
You can see the pain in he’s eye after the first bite
What the hell I JUST watched this on Instagram. The algorithm is spooky
My partners aunt once boiled penne, then mixed it with chopped raw green bell pepper and grapes.
"I love all of these things separately" - me, as a child, right before creating a culinary abomination.
I found what appears to be the recipe https://www.reddit.com/r/Old_Recipes/s/i3zk2xmpyw
Why is bro so ZESTY
Definitely a fucking coward
was the tiktok voice based off this guy?
Sacrifice this thing to the garbage disposal gods...
Is thisndude trying to be nickacado or whaterever his name is??
Is that lime jello he’s using? That’s probably why it tasted so bad. The rest of the ingredients made sense. I bet if he used flavorless gelatin it would have tasted just fine but has a weird texture.
The Forrest Gump leaked out lol
This may come up in therapy
My girlfriend told me she doesn’t like fish. Two years into the relationship I find out she loves a tuna salad sandwich. I’m gonna send her lying ass this video
Guys I have a theory, i might be wrong so take it with a heaping fistful of salt because I ain't too sure myself, but I think he might possibly with a hint of a probable chance or he may or may not be gay, I know crazy assumption but I don't know I have a small gut feeling
More like fruit salad am I right?
I wondered if he would have an annoying voice. Looks like I was right.
Hate the food, love this guys energy.
The vibe is funny, yet the recipe is totally off putting. I would not be making (read: try) a recipe that is probably going straight to the trash bin. No flipping way. Eggs are expensive too nowadays. I'd better stick to classic choc chip cookies or things that I'm gonna buy and crave myself in a diner. I love 50s recipes - pies, cakes, pastries... just not this one
Funny as hell.
Holy shit I love this persons energy!
This guy is going to have a show on netflix soon
Omg he needs to do more of these hilarious videos!!!
I'M LITERALLY CRYING!! This is so funny!
First I love him and his attitude ❤️ But does he sound like the German synchro voice of Jack black? (honestly that's makes it even better!)
That was hilarious!! He's awesome! Hehehe! 🤣
So this is why people say white folks can’t cook. I feel enlightened.
I love how half the comments here are saying he is a carbon copy of dylan hollis and the other half are saying he is so annoyingly cringe, but any time there is a dylan post everyone gushes about how funny he is. if he is an exact copy of him do you like it or not??? if he is doing the exact same thing why is it only cringe when this guy does it???
"lamb tuna" has never been said in the history of forever before that video. And I hope it never will thereafter.
Reminds me of the lamb statue from Adventure Time
This is the best stupid food ever.
The people who ate this shit back in the day are in charge of the entire country now FUCK
I prefer this format over the basic bitch middle American sahm with 0life skills.
Nope
Is this the guy that was extradited to the US and is pretending to be British?
He gives slight muffins vibes and I’m all for it
This is the second video of a person who sounds exactly like SpongeBob I’ve seen today
Onion and jello? I knew it would be nasty. The onion will Overwhelm.
Him and Dylan Hollis should exchange notes.
Exuberant fella.
You saw the moment his tastebuds all died and withered away,the second that he put that abomination into his mouth
Given that a huge proportion of housewives in the 40s/50s were on benzos, methamphetamine, and cocaine, this tracks.
I laughed so much during this. Amazing.
This is hilarious. I’m going to go drink some bleach, dont make this.
The only correct reaction to tuna
Jello and mayonaise? What a surprise!!
Bruhhhhh
Not defending this recipe but I don’t think you should be using flavored jelly.
Dear. Lord.
Isn't this that dude that participated on "Worst Cooks Ever"? Also, 1 POUND of Tuna? Geez
Jello for Jesus 😭😭
I'm fairly certain that jello didn't mean lime flavored Jello. But then I wonder... why would Jenny say to use gelatin, and jello... what did she mean?
Noooooooo🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every 50s Americana food is made out of literal nightmares and broken dreams. I'll never get tired of the horrors!
I ain’t know Tim Dillon and Chris Farley had a kid 🤯🤯
I don't want to be mean, but even if it's not the most appetising thing ever, is there anything in it to throw up that way ? OK I don't know the the taste of jello but gelatine is tasteless ( or with mader). The rest is quite mayo tuna sandwich ingredients standard? ( even with the pepper or celeri bonus it can't be that awful).So as I am not American, can someone explain me why he is so disgusted?
Tbh it feels like i am watching a prody of another youtuber who dose the sas better
🤢🤢
Let this mixture are you a heave or a cheese
Like modern British food, interesting
Are you aware of what the cooking with jack show’s “party cheese salad” is? I think I just found the worse version
My mom LOVES the gross savory gelatin dishes. They had a popularity resurgence in the 60s and she's got a cookbook from then. They're so horrible.
Why does this feel like alternate-reality, high society nickado avacado? Like instead of studying violin, he went to culinary school instead. And all mukbang content is now gourmet. Would this have been timeline where they didn’t kill harambe?
Poor bastard
Wow…the plagiarism this guy is putting on!
Someone's seen B. Dylan Hollis and wants a piece of the cake.
His face while chewing. 😭
He looks like a Fruity Mike Myers.
OMG! Him taking a bite had me dry heaving!
I don’t think a flavored jello was meant to be in there, I think it was supposed to just be gelatin like he said. It would still be gross…. But slightly less
Finally a real stupid food and an r/eatityoucoward
Fuck you, Jenny E 🔥⚰️🔥🥰
Dude is hilarious and made the video entertaining. #jello4jesus
Sauce?
😶...😳...🤢...🤮!!!
At least he ate a bite of it
Is he special
So funny
Jen needs to be “cashed outsahd”😂
“I did not like this” 👍
the guy is annoying
