I have to say I love me some green bean casserole!
My family does incredibly weird things with jello too. There will be at least five different kinds of jello, some with fruit or vegetables suspended in mid air and some with layers of cool whip, cottage cheese, mayonnaise or cake. Green Jello, red Jello, yellow, orange and pink. Its freakish. The family of one of my exes makes this orzo and cool whip stuff. One year we were rolling sushi for the traditional TG meal (druuunk)l, and I was eating a sushi roll and noticed something orange and crunchy...resembling a Cheeto....and it was indeed a Cheeto roll.

What the Hell is it with people putting vegetables in jello? That shit should be outlawed. CLEARLY, it's a fruit only food.

Nothing in Jello for me, thank you very much! And please, cook green beans Southern style- no canned soup in it!!!
Yesterday I roasted the small turkey I got on special- I always prepare a pre-Thanksgiving meal so that I have sandwich stuff and left-over dressing at home. Plus, I individually wrap and freeze white meat and dark in separate containers and make turkey broth for homeade winter soups. Usually, I go to either my niece's place for Thanksgiving but she is dealing with health issues and my guess is that my sister and her son's will just go out to eat. So, no left-overs which is what I like the best. Don't have my plans yet. Not going to be a happy holiday season this year, really. We nevr had any weird stuff for Thanksgiving really when I was a kid- the cranberry sauce and veggies were all traditional and Jello free. Didn't even have marshmellows on yams. We did have anti-pasto then my Grandma's homemade ravioli then the turkey and fixings. A real 5-6 course Italian spread. What a feast!!! And lots of food sent home with everyone. |

Worst Thanksgiving dinner, my ex's mom does not like to cook, but would insist on 'cooking' Holiday dinners.
The menu: Appetizers of celery filled with spray cheese and deviled eggs with miracle whip. Turkey cooked on high heat, so she doesn't have to get up early. It comes out of the oven like jerky. Ham in a crockpot covered in a jar of those bar cherries. Instant mashed potatoes. Gravy from a jar. Canned veggies, bad enough, but she would then nuke them beyond recognition. Dessert of thawed frozen chocolate pie. |

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!

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. |

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!

Speaking on behalf of MY taste & stomach
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.

OMG.
We had as Thanksgiving potluck today at work. My girls (there are a total of 5 of us) and I went to the room early so that we could scope out who brought what because there are some people who's food we will not touch. Well, all 5 of us had a very strong reaction when someone who has often raved loudly about her own cooking brought in a curious looking dish. It was a gloppy crust-covered thing that red jellied stuff had boiled up out of and we could see differently colored chunks inside of it. What was it, you ask? It was "sweet and sour deer pot pie". SWEET. AND. SOUR. DEER. POT. PIE. It had grayish chunks of deer meat floating in potatoes, marachino cherries, barbeque sauce, celery, apples, and some other horrid looking shit under a dome of flattened biscuits. The smell of it was like the trash can at the fair when it's 100 degrees outside. Who the FUCK would eat that?
