The American lime-jello-mold
dish isn't strictly pan-american: I've never eaten, or even seen, such a
dish in my life. I believe it is mostly a Southern phenomenon.   >more snips<


I'm not sure where in America it spreads, but in the part of Canada where I 
grew up (Saskatchewan - great plains) this is a very popular salad and often 
served at our various festivals and church "fowl suppers".  There are even 
myriad variations - one with lime jello and shredded carrots being 
particularly popular.  

I must say, they are not favorites of mine.  I don't like the mix of sweet 
with vegetables or the texture.  But I do like more savory molds - like 
tomato aspic (made with lemon jello as I recall, but spicy not sweet) or a 
particularly nice chicken salad mold whose recipe I lost recently :-( .  I am 
actively looking and will post it for the curious once I find it (if anyone 
on the list would like it).  I made this for an American Thanksgiving I was 
invited to about 5 years ago and it was a big hit among my Italian and 
American friends for whom it was completely alien!  

Back to lurking .... I'm learning so much!
