14. The tater tots on top is a midCentury thing

I hoovered up my mom's box of 60s women's magazines that I found in her attic. Tater top toppings were a regular feature in recipes back then. It was nationwide.

Gelatin molds started going out in the early 60s, though. Those were the scary recipes. Let's put dinner in Jell-O! The few times I had one of those dinner in gelatin dishes, it was as gross as it sounded.

I did like the jello mixed with, I guess milk? and layered with regular jello. That was pretty good.
