Join Becca on her mission to uncover hidden gems in the Good Housekeeping recipe archives as she travels back through the ages with our Toaster Time Machine. This week we’re going back to the 1940s to taste test a gelatin salad, a salmon roll and delightful dessert called “snow pudding”. Comment below if you’ve ever tried any of these!

Oh no! XD
That's not the right kind of dressing at all. The modern French dressing is tomato based, but after flipping through a half dozen period (1940's and 50's) books the traditional is what you were supposed to do. An oil and either vinegar or lemon juice mixture with salt and pepper. Maybe a little seasoning besides that such as a dash of mustard, your choice.
Quenelle: “It’s a three sided blob that you learn to make in culinary school and never use again.” SO accurate!
I grew up with snow pudding (or as we called it, "Snow on the Mountain"). I haven't had it since my grandmother passed away and now, through the magic of the internet, can make it on my own.Thanks!
I saw the recipe for this exact snow pudding on Reddit, and it seems you may have misinterpreted the directions. It says that the meringue and the gelatin should be mixed together until well blended, then topped with a custard sauce. You didn't mix the meringue and gelatin, and you skipped the sauce all together.
Flash from the past LOL
😋😋😋
I'm Minnesotan, Jell-O is DEFINITELY a salad, and comes in many manifestations here lol.
You can eat the bones in canned salmon. My grandma grew up in the 30s and 40s, and she said they used to fight over eating the bones when they were kids. She used to get canned salmon all the time when I was a kid, and I’d eat the bones when she’d give them to me🤷🏻♀️
Why are you so new to canned fish? Yup. Canned salmon smelled yuck to me too when I was forced to eat it in the 70s in land locked Colorado.
My Dad eats the bones in canned salmon
Why did they put olives in EVERYTHING? 😂😂😂 the Snow Pudding actually looks pretty good. It reminds me of Floating Islands. Mary Berry made that on Bake Off, but I think it was really popular in the 70s.
