That side dish a certain relative always makes that tastes like crap

I've had some pretty bad green bean dishes that the older people seem to think is great. The one where they pour in cream of mushroom soup and a bunch of crap then top with crispy onions or something.

Like no milk or butter either? Yeah, that would suck.

My GIL’s “gumbo”

It isn’t gumbo. It’s chicken and sausage soup with file dumped in it. There is no roux...

Someone always makes the classic shitty green been casserole at my wife's family's Thanksgiving. The one where every ingredient is canned and the only thing edible are the fried onion strings on top.

My aunt used to make an oyster dressing that tasted like old refrigerator air. Come to think of it, anything that aunt made tasted like her refrigerator. Hated it.

Flavor is the devil!!!

I think I'm pretty lucky. No one in my family is a truly bad cook. Even my brother (who made a peanut butter and olive tortilla wrap one time) can actually do a bang up job of dishes when he wants. Before she passed my grandma would make the greenbean casserole thing but it was almost a rite of passage.

This year my daughter is doing the sides, girlfriend is doing dessert and I'm frying the turkey. We'll see how that turns out.

My aunt always brings that "pineapple slice with mayonnaise and cheese on a lettuce leaf" shite and then insists everyone have some.

Who the hell likes that crap?! I'm beginning to think she's just evil and does it to amuse herself.

My MIL also makes this horrific custard pie with mustard and raisins in it

She is the only one that likes it and she makes the same joke every year

“Oh! No one wants my pie? Oh well, guess I’ll have to eat it all!”

Every. Goddamn. Year.

Had a relative that always brought her version of guacamole, mashed avocados and Reallemon lemon juice, that's it, nothing else.
No onions, no tomatoes, no jalapeños, not even salt, just mashed avocados and lemon juice from a plastic lemon...
