   A little OT, but seeing the ingredient “dairy sour cream,” and knowing that the post war era was a very, oh shall we say “scientific” one, is there such a thing as *non-dairy* sour cream?

   Hmm… That salad mold just doesn’t sound good. Okay, I kind of get that the top layer is like a sour creamsicle with orange rind, and the bottom layer — lemon Jell-O, beets, onion, horseradish, vinegar and celery — I just can’t put together. So once you get your guests to gather around the salad mold adorned with cold-cuts and huge cheese wedges, on the table festooned with bread and butter-curls, WHAT on earth do you do with the salad mold?

     …Can anyone figure out what’s in the dish next to the butter? Baked apples?
