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.
are these supposed to taste savoury, or sweet?
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.
Yes
Yes.
Wtf with the second one!
Prawn cocktail jelly 😁
Tomato, feta cheese, prawns and... Horse radish??
My good gracious lord... what have we done?
american cousine always makes the british one seem mild
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.
I thought that was Midwesterners.
Midwesterners prefer mayonnaise-based salads to Jello-based salads in my experience.
There are plenty of salads out there with both jello and mayo
Saints preserve us (from the jello-mayo salad, to be clear)
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...
like Carrots, raisins, cottage cheese, grapes, nuts, etc.
All in the same jello?
I've had carrots, raisins, cottage cheese, and grapes all in one. I've had other combos with walnuts/almond in another.
So... How does it taste?
Insanely sweet.
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.
The answer is Mormons - Mormons love Jello
Cause it's not a sin to fuck it right?
And soaking!
Though it was quakers...
Quakers tend to be environmental and political activists and a higher than average number of the ones I know are vegans.
Quaker salads are usually quinoa based. 14 kinds of quinoa salad at a Quaker pot luck.
Quaker salads are usually quinoa based
That's unexpected.
No, Quakers hate Jell-O. That shit jiggles right off their trembling forks.
Nope it’s definitely Mormons
And trampolines for some reason.
Not a belt. More of a blob, or a mold if you will.
This causes me to question who spent their time finding out the Jell-O consumption with what looks like a finer resolution than just by state. Like why?
If it's brandname Jell-O, then the brand might know how much they're delivering to each store...
Ah, I didn't even know it was a brand. They might be it.
The Funeral Potato belt is almost identical to this one too.

What is Dan adding here
Informing us that there is context for this, without providing said context.
☝️It's not a belt.
... I'll see myself out.
Is this what they mean by the big J?
Btw for anyone who isn't aware Dan, the self-professed crank, is a senior writer at the national review most famous for his constitutional originalism and being anti-anti-MAGA. Like, he never advocates for Trump, just criticizes his critics. Read his works and come to your own conclusion on if he is a crank.

The US is a feminine hygiene product?
Looks like they wanted to cut some Jell-O in the shape of Utah and the rest is the leftover bits from doing so
The only acceptable jello contains booze.
Are those striped areas where it is half twiced so 100% of the average level?
