I remember reading an article in the 1990's in an underground "zine" written by a woman who scoured garage sales and thrift shops for 1950's and early 1960's cookbooks.They consisted of some of the most disgusting recipies I have ever seen, and as you pointed out "Jello" was a favorite "base" material. I almost vomited when I saw a picture of a 2 foot "loaf" of lime Jello filled with hot dogs and onions.
The "childrens" recipies were equally interesting- one consisted of mixing peanut butter with large amounts of hot sauce...and that was as far as I could read.
I wish I still had the article...reading it was like watching a car wreck...you wanted to turn away but you could not.
Personally, I am very happy that I was not around to be subjected to the Jello madness of 58.
