This recipe needs no snarky comments. It speaks for itself. Thank goodness there was no photo, the idea of noodles in Jello is just too gross to contemplate.
Tuna-Noodle Luncheon Mold
1 tablespoons salt
2 quarts boiling water
1/2 pound San Giorgio medium egg noodles
1 3 ounce package lemon-flavored gelatin
1 cup hot water
1 cup cold water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup pineapple juice
1-1/2 cups grated carrots
1 cup drained canned crushed pineapple
2 7 oz. cans drained solid pack tuna
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
Add 1 tablespoon salt to rapidly boiling water. Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain in colander. Combine gelatin and 1 cup hot water. Stir until gelatin is dissolved. Add 1 cup cold water and pineapple juice. Chill until slightly thickened. Fold in carrots, pineapple, tuna which has been broken into pieces with a fork, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and cooked noodles; mix well. Turn into oiled 2 quart mold and chill until firm. Unmold and garnish with carrots and green pepper flowers, if desired. Serves 6-8.

Odd and weird recipes from my large cookbook collection.
Weird Recipe Origins
While persuing my many cookbooks, adverstising booklets and cooking magazines I sometimes come across a recipe where I truely wonder what the originator was thinking. Sometimes they just sound like a terrible combination of ingredients. Other times it is what I call, the ingredient that doesn't belong. This is usually a food company trying to promote the use of their product in an inappropriate recipe. Recipes that might have found favor in past decades are sometimes so out of date they seem weird now.
