I think we only have Jellied Eels in that category, and nobody eats that because it's vile.

Usually we just use jelly for pudding foods. We used to have lime jelly with tinned orange segments in it, called "fishes in the pond".

I've absolutely no idea if that is a UK thing, or a my family thing. Google seems to deny all knowledge of it, but that could just be how Google is these days.

Yea, and TBF, a lot of these recipes are gonna be from the 50s and 60s, and most are probably dead and buried where they should be. They were mostly all vile abominations of gelatin and mayonnaise.
