We were talking about it to a young gal at Target, she said it smells like 'bubble gum.' Indeed it does, and tastes like...well, pity. The yam dish with the mini marshmallows on top. Don't like that either. But I do enjoy the green bean casserole, with the fried onion topping. OH! Perfection Salad. The jello mold thing made with lime jello and 17 and a half cups of ground carrots and celery. Who the heck invented that nightmare!

I hesitate to confess that I make something equally regurge-worthy! LOL! It's a recipe my sis introduced to me at Christmas 1987. We had just returned from a tour of duty in Germany and she and her DH flew to OK to be with us. She made "Cranberry Mold" (truly, that's the name of it) and the recipe came from some WWII era Better Homes and Garden cookbook. It looks frightenly pink and crunchy, but oh......if you like cranberries, and I basically worship them, it is out of this world. Scary, but absolutely yum. ♥ But, to spare Jim's sensibilities and anyone else's hair-trigger regurge mojo, I shall not disclose it in this delicate food forum.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 All of the above sounds good to me.

It's all done at my house now so I have control as to whether that little bag of gunk gets cooked for gravy or tossed out HOWEVER the mincemeat pie is a true gagger. One Thanksgiving my creepy uncle proudly told me that he had made it himself and handed me a plate with what I thought was fake mincemeat like you buy in a jar. As I took a bite he started talking about suet and the gag reflex hit. Then there is the tail of the turkey. I don't deal with that, another gagger, but no one else has brought it up. My ex brother in law made a big deal of eating it, just to annoy everyone

From memory, so it won't be quite right, but it'll be close: Black cherry jello (make it according to directions) When slightly thickened, add....get ready to gag.... Sour cream Whole cranberry sauce Chopped walnuts (sorry Twin and DH) Chopped (yes, the dreaded....) celery Mix it up, and like Sis always says, refrigerate until it's as firm as our thighs. Serve! Voila! Scary, but good! (And it really is a pretty shade of raspberry pink ♥)

My dad loved the neck, so he always got that. My brother and I carried out a heated battle every Thanksgiving and Christmas over whose turn it was to eat the heart. Proof positive that siblings can fight about anything--lol! Finally when I was in my teens, I stopped to really think about it and got completely grossed out by the idea of eating the heart. Haven't touched one since <shudder>.
