I dunno, I guess I can't say for sure since I haven't had aspic, but savory gelatin never sounds attractive. All I can think is "or, I could just throw the salmon on the grill and know I'm getting something good :shrug:"

I've had a couple of things like that loaf, and the difficulty is that the gelatine has to be juuust right. If it's too set, it's rubbery and disgusting, if it's not set enough, it will collapse.

Done with plenty of skill and practice, they can be very light and refreshing on a hot day.

Going to the store for a fresh fillet of salmon wasn't really contemporary with the mass popularity of the rendered ground bone meal of our four legged foes. A can of salmon would be, probably not a talking point, but certainly an acceptably fancy fixture to stick into your aspic.

I didn't think to mention that, it's the sauce. Sour cream plus some green pepper, chives, and parsley. Gotta have something to spice it up besides cucumber!
I figured it was probably something mundane like this (which actually sounds alright!), but you never know in this thread.

Those things were all over big family dinners, pot lucks, and church do's when I was a kid. I didn't like them much. Not being excited for jellied mystery salads was the 70s version of a kid being a picky eater.

Pros:

Easy to chew. Usually chewing was completely optional. If this doesn't sound like a pro to you, I assume you still have all your teeth. My grandparents both had dentures in their 40s. No idea what the heck was happening to teeth back then, but a not-very-old lady bragging "see these teeth, all my own" was a toothbrush commercial on tv all the time.

Easy to prepare ahead and easy to transport. Got a pot luck tomorrow? Throw some random crap in hoof juice the night before. Somehow seen as fancier than just making a plate of sandwiches.

Flouridated water and toothpaste didn't become common/mandatory until mid century. Plus maybe access to dental care?

True. So while "jellied slurry" isn't attractive to us, I can see why it might have been to many people in those decades.

Also basically everyone smoked and the average person drank more both of which can do a number on your teeth.

"Reclaimed" by pulling them out of the mouths of any of his slaves that had decent teeth.

The myth of wooden teeth survives because it's quaint and cute. The truth of a mix of elephant bike and actual human teeth forcibly pulled from the mouths of people you own is less so.

It's true though. For a while there they were real eager to rip out everybody's appendix, with only the danger of infection stopping them from doing it all the time.

Tonsils too. As a kid in the 70s I had several bouts of tonsillitis, and the doctors said if it happened one more time they'd take 'em out. Tonsillitis isn't dangerous, just annoying. But lets do a surgery about it. (My mom and her siblings all had theirs out as kids.)

Mine were taken out in the mid/late ‘80s as a gambit against all the ear infections I was having. Let me tell you, it did not help, the several frequencies of tinnitus I have in both ears—that shouldn’t loving happen—is a testament to that.

According to my grandfather, his whole Navy ship had their tonsils removed at once during WW2, just so it wouldn't be an issue later. Two medics were competing to see which could surgically remove the most tonsils in a day, so gramps made drat sure to be the first in line before they got sloppy.
