Pick: Would you eat these quirky Christmas dishes from the 1960s?

Can we interest you in some creamed onions, cheesy mince and hot Dr. Pepper?

 
Christmas dishes sure were creative in the Sixties. Fancy molds and packets of gelatin made for some colorful, sculptural (and jiggling) foods. There were savory Jell-O salad and even edible candles. Yes, that's candles, not candies.

We tore out some vintage recipes from December issues of Ladies' Home Journal in the 1960s. We want to know if you'll say "Ho, ho, ho!" or "No, no, no!"

Pick which dishes you would try. See how your taste stacks up against others.
  1. Could you take a bite out of the adorable (and coconut covered) Big Mr. Igloo?
  2. How about a slice of Cheddar Crust Mince Pie?
  3. Wash it all down with some Hot Dr. Pepper?
  4. "Wood" you try a segment of this Chestnut-Mocha Roll?
  5. Would you have a little of this rich Tutti-Frutti Date Pudding?
  6. Can we interest you in this Green Bean Pizzarino wreath?
  7. Want some Cranberry Sauce Salad?
  8. A prune-filled Finnish Christmas Cake? (We think you can translate the responses.)
  9. Would you like a scoop of this side dish: Creamed Onions and Peas?
  10. A dollop of Whipped Turnip Puff?
  11. How about this Happiness Tree Cake, Charlie Brown?
  12. A decorative, edible Deviled Ham Sandwich Tree?

  13. Finally, can we interest you in this Cranberry Christmas "Candles" Salad? It's edible — and on fire!

61%. A lot of them actually look pretty good, while others...bleugh. I'm not sure what turnips taste like, so that one I'd have to try to tell...

Show of hands! Who thinks the MeTV Team should be required to include a link to the RECIPES for all of their "Would you eat...?" quizzes? I mean, talk about your teases!!
(OK, OK - so I only got "23% similar". What can I say - if it can't escape, I'll eat it.)
BTW, I still make cranberry sauce gelatin salad to this day, from my mother's recipe. It's a big holiday hit with everyone in my home.
(OK, OK - so I live alone. What can I say?)
