I like pineapple in the lime jello. Orange would be good with bananas in it.

And grapes. I like grapes in all kinds of red and purple jello. Not lime or lemon or fancy flavors like champagne, though.

We used to have 7-up Jello every year. It was lime jello, and sorry, it had grated cabbage and carrots in it, AND 7-up. The 7-up made it really good!

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth

I actually would like the recipe for the 7 up jello please...seriously...

I made a turkey one year cooked in a brown paper grocery bag. I had read somewhere that you could do this and so I tried it. People were appalled when I pulled it out of the oven and made fun of me until they ate it. It was so moist and tender....now of course, those cooking (but see thru) bags are trendy now!

This is my new favorite thread.

However, I did originally think it was a thread about the pile of horrible dishes one ends up washing after the meal is over. This is so much better.

Probably the most disappointing Holiday Meal happened when I lived in Denver and was craving some candied yams. I was invited to someone's home because they were going to be "throwin' down" that Thanksgiving. Others who had eaten at their home had raved how good her Thanksgiving meals were. So I was excited to finally be getting some good, old fashioned candied yams. Well, Thanksgiving came.

I get to the house. It's time to make our plates. Of course the first thing I had planned on getting was the candied yams. I don't see them. So I ask where they are. And someone points, "right in front of you". It took every ounce of self control not to blurt out, "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!" But I did say it on the inside. In front of me was a pan of candied yams that had been violated with marshmallows and I discovered pineapple. WHAT IN THE WORLD?!

Remembering my manners, (mom would have been proud) I took a small bit. I tried it. And I nearly hurled! That was just wrong on so many levels. Now lest you tell me it was the pineapple that messed it up let me continue with my food rant. To you I will say NAY! NAY! Candied yams and marshmallows were not meant to be bonded together. I tried this horrific combination by a person I KNEW could burn some pots. And I felt the need to apologize to the candied yams or report to someone that they had been tortured by the marshmallows who were forced to become one with the candied yams.

Again, I am speaking on behalf of MY stomach and MY taste buds. YUCK!

And I don't want to hear the, "you haven't had mine" line or "you'd enjoy the dish if you had it how I prepared" or some other variation! And I know that in some regions of the world this is how candied yams are prepared and truly enjoyed. But MY taste buds and MY stomach say NO! Such a combo will NOT be going on my plate. People who I consider to be great cooks have talked me into trying it and the answer is still a resounding NO!

So if I see it, don't take offense when the candied yams with marshmallows is nowhere near my plate.

*remembering to breathe*

I must admit, my grandmother is notorious for the jello "whathehellisthat" dishes. There's usually a variety of it not only on the holidays but for every Sunday dinner as well. (Which is probably another reason I quit going to Sunday dinner.) Especially cauliflower. She has a thing for cauliflower.

GreeneyedMe · 11-17-2011, 06:13 PM

Reading all this while eating my dinner...helps the diet for sure!!

LOL

Green Stuff = Lime J-ello, mini marshmallows melted into it, crushed pineapple, maraschino cherries, cottage cheese and cool-whip.

It is delicious.

After that photo, I have to post this link. Enjoy the recipe cards, and if you make any of the dishes... um, don't tell me.

hahahaha It kinda looks like the bottom of my boots after I get home from work. It looks like spearmint leaves (probably to mask the terrible odor) and dead cockroaches with some real stiff white rice and some very old pepperoni, with dryed orange peels.

Before there was Jello there was Aspic which for those who do not want to click the link it's congealed meat stock.... yummmm.
I've had all the kinds of jello mentioned here... they're really not that bad. The cottage cheese one is one of my favourites.

Aspic with rice, corn and vegetables.

BoDy*ShOt · 11-17-2011, 11:52 PM

the ex-mil's dressing and gravy. sooooo super gross with the innards nasties and sliced boiled eggs. I mean. gravy is not meant to be chunky...i gag at the thought of it *bleck*

What I would like to know is who was the first person who thought this up? Who decided that would be a good idea?

Perhaps, to someone, it tastes good, but still... who thought it up?
