gross vintage (?) recipe

I was thumbing through an old jello kids cookbook from my youth, when I saw this recipe. What were they thinking?

     I think, they were really having a hard time filling out this book and some sociopath concocted this while shopping at a prison commisary. For the record, my husband thinks, "It looks pretty good." I'm having divorce papers drawn up. C'mon--pudding (ANY FLAVOR!!?? seriously, ANY flavor? Pistachio? butterscotch?), whipped cream, fresh fruit (fresh fruit + pudding = disgusting to me. jello+fruit=yum), coconut, chocolate syrup, and....taco shells? Even Bill Cosby reached for his Tums. 

p.s. I am still trying to identify the fresh fruit in the picture. With the aid of assorted field guides, I think I see strawberries, mandarin oranges (clearly not a "fresh fruit", booyah, got them on a technical!), grapes (!), pears and a pig's uterus.

  1. Wow! Something I'm sure my quilting gang would love!!! Not! Guess it was hard creating exciting dishes when June Cleaver was a desperate housewife.

  3. If you switched the taco shells to ice cream cones, used chocolate or vanilla pudding and only used berries this would be delicious. It was also be a totally different recipe because this one is gross.
