Heh, the talk of Jello Salad makes me think of this one, which I learned in Huonville High School Home Economics in 1981 and then didn’t see again until 1999, when someone’s nana brought it:

one can crushed pineapple
a shitload of grated apple
a handful of chopped mint
about a litre and a half of aspic

Combine and pour into a pretty mould. Serve. Unforgettable. One of those meals that’s much better than you think it is but you only need to eat it once or twice.

I was told, way back in 1981, that such food is useful for keeping stains off ones tennis whites. Apparently aspic around beetroot serves the same purpose.

I make it of course! Although I don’t mind a rind bunged in a minestrone either.

Dogpossum – sounds like you’re in Brunswick near Sydney Road, somewhere between Victoria Street and Albion. That’s a pretty A1 location for foodstuffs. Have you checked out the warehouse joints west of the main drag? Middle Eastern Bakery on Hope St and NSM on Victoria Street are fantastic for bulk dried/canned stuff.

Zoe – really? Who makes it? Don’t let that stop you making your own when it runs out though – the rinds ain’t good for much else. Always recycle… TO THE EXTREME!!!

And if you could pop in some of that Turkish Fairy floss too. It is chic, it is; let’s put it up there with the goji berries!

Ah dogpossum you continue to taunt with your proximity to excellent foodstuffs. Any time you feel like sending me some more fancy wafers you just go ahead.
