I believe it used to be called “aspic” if you’re looking for colloquially similar fads. Jello is an American brand name, so obviously that’s going to appear mostly in American fads.
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.
Gelatin was used plenty in UK. Iv watched plenty of British cooking shows that focused on the 40s-80s to know that for a fact. But it just got REAL fucking big here cause of name brand jello.
The Jello thing must be American.
In the UK we made everything with potatoes and Spam.

In Norway peas, carrot bits and shrimp in aspic is called “Cabaret”. It is not bad, but not so great you choose it over almost anything else

So it’s just truely absurd here state side.
