They put everything in the fridge on that fucking sandwich.
Chicken croquettes doused in cream sauce and peas or vomit, you decide.
Tamale hero sandwiches with pickle-sicles.
That's crab tomato gelatin. Calling it 'aspic' doesn't make it sound more appealing.
I grew up on the tail end of this awful era in cuisine. It was truly a frightening time to be alive and eating.

Seriously, the aspic thing was an abomination
In the 70's & early 80's my Mom insisted on making lime jello with onions, celery & carrots in it. Gross. We also had "slop" (jello mixed with cool-whip & fruit cocktail) at every holiday dinner.
Call it jello, call it aspic- yukko either way.
Pic 2: definitely vomit. Ugh.
I grew up in a house with my grandparents who were off the boat from Sicily. They owned a corner grocery store, and my grandmother was the best cook in the neighborhood (and it was filled with other Sicilians and southern Italians). I never saw aspic/jello anything and I thought some things people ate--like bologna sandwiches on wonder bread with mayo--were appalling. I was very lucky.
Lime jello -- the fallback food for every Lutheran potluck. Put Cool Whip on it and it's a dessert; slather it with Miracle Whip and it's a salad.
