Mom, a world class chef (NOT), did wonders with Jello. I've actually had a couple of those.

Orange Jello & shredded carrot was a big favorite
Any Jello & a can of Fruit Cocktail was another

Not sure about using dessert jello as part of a main course, but most of those are just the traditional uses for gelatine. The newcomer is mixing it with fruit juice[*].

Gelatine is an animal product (commonly) made by boiling down the skin and bones of animals, it's long been used as a binding agent and preservative for meats. Traditional pork pies often use gelatine to reduce the amount of fat from the meat that gets into the shortcrust pastry, keeping it firm.

[*The forerunner of today's jellos were calf's foot puddings, where a calf's foot was boiled down, then mixed with sugar and cinnamon and left to set. Yummy!]
