For those of you who have never had the misfortune of traveling to the highlighted area, this is because Mormons make “salads” by suspending the most random ass ingredients you’ve ever imagined in jell-o, and the highlighted area is the highest density area of Mormons in the US.

My (WASP) grandmother used to do this too. The fruit ones were alright. The other ones were not.

[-] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago

are these supposed to taste savoury, or sweet?

[-] Batmancer@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 weeks ago

I’ll try almost any dish at party at least once. The jello salads have always been strange to me.

I do like texture sometimes, I wish the flavors were my thing. I also like the look of the food items being suspended in a glass dome like shape.

I like it when it's fruit in jelly, because then you feel motivsted to est your way to it

motivsted to est

I think someone doped your jell-o.

My good gracious lord... what have we done?

american cousine always makes the british one seem mild

[-] certified_expert@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Wet bread is spicy for british "cousine". That has nothing to do with the yankies

That one doesn't seem too bad to me. Shrimp are often eaten cold, and with lime. So cold shrimp in lime Jello might actually slap.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

I thought that was Midwesterners.

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 28 points 3 weeks ago

Midwesterners prefer mayonnaise-based salads to Jello-based salads in my experience.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 weeks ago

There are plenty of salads out there with both jello and mayo

Saints preserve us (from the jello-mayo salad, to be clear)

[-] TheSilverShroud@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

My family does a green jello with sour cream spread on top. More than one new person to holiday dinner has thought it was whipped cream and got a bit of a jump scare. Easier to tell something is funky when we fully commit and put shredded cheddar cheese on top...

What a terrible day to be literate...

Jello salad is definitely a thing in the Midwest. Source: every Thanksgiving I had as a kid

[-] negativenull@piefed.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

like Carrots, raisins, cottage cheese, grapes, nuts, etc.

I've had carrots, raisins, cottage cheese, and grapes all in one. I've had other combos with walnuts/almond in another.

Insanely sweet.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I think I've seen that recipe

Edit: there's a lot of variations, some have pineapple, mayo or miracle whip, cool whip, vinegar or lemon juice, etc. but try just putting all those ingredients in a search and you'll find all kinds of "sunshine salad" and "cottage cheese salad " recipes with Jello as the binder.
