I'll save Master A the trouble and jump up with "There's _always_ room for
Jell-o!"

Jellied salads usually are of two types- the sweet ones of flavored
gelatin, fruit, nuts, marshmallows, Miracle Whip, cottage cheese, whipped
cream, cream cheese, and many other odd things in various combinations; of
teh savory types you might call aspic. I think if you are looking to draw a
comparison to something French, aspic is probably your best bet. I couldn't
imagine the French eating a Classic Midwestern Jell-o Salad, even on a
dare. ;-)
