It's the meat-Miracle Whip-jello combination once again. I bet you could use dog food instead of canned corned beef and no one would know the difference. Is there a difference?
Note the ominous "did not thicken" warning on the card. I think "do not make this" would be more appropriate.
I think this is my Aunt Phyllis's recipe. It's interesting that you don't mix everything together -- you just layer it in there and leave it to fate for twelve long, lonely hours.
The recipe's pretty adamant about no foil. I wonder what happens if you do use foil instead of saran wrap. Is it like putting metal in a microwave oven? Does anyone know a scientific reason why foil might be a bad idea?
Does anyone know a medical reason why two cups of Hellmans might be a bad idea?
Note that the unassuming name on the card -- Tuna Salad -- belies the dark truth behind it: yet another meat + Jello recipe. (Unfamiliar with this trend? Check out the Lime Jello Chicken.) Weltha, Weltha. What were you thinking? An entire jar of olives? Lemon Jello? Tuna???? Oh, the humanity. I made the Lime Jello Chicken on a lark. But the Lemon Jello Tuna Salad will not be made.
Ever.
This is my favorite card. I love the vivacious housewife with the 16-inch waist, jaunty chef's hat, and can-do attitude that says, "Voila! It was so easy!"
I'm intrigued by the "PetRecipe" line on the card. Isn't there a Pet brand of foods? Or does Pet Recipe mean a favorite recipe? Or could it mean...Oh God! Fluffy! Nooooooo!
Relievedly, no animals appear to have been harmed in the making of this cabbage slaw.
