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

Every fam has one. That aunt or grannie or cousin who makes a terrible Side dish every holiday and insists on people eating. Out of sympathy a few people put some on their plate but don't eat more than a bite. At the end of the day there is 80% of it left and she insisting people take some home.

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.

My mother-in-law's mashed potatoes. It's skinned, boiled potatoes mashed up... with nothing added but a pinch of salt.
literally.

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

These are the worst!!
Mine is a gigantic chalmation aunt who always makes an artichoke dressing. It's 90% olive oil, and she spends the entire meal pushing that tray of slime on everyone. Of course makes ziplock bags for everyone that get forgotten.

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

No! Nothing! Just a little salt. She's pretty strict Mennonite, likes to hang out with the Amish a lot, etc. I think she gets it from them. I wouldn't say it tastes like crap, but it's just so dry, plain, and just bleh.

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.

Candied yams casserole with extremely too much crushed pineapple and marshmallow.
Another would be a dessert of dump or bowl cakes. Wet cake with too much sweetness like two bags of chocolate chips. Yuck!

How do you make an Amish woman happy? Three Mennonite.
I can't stand that sweet potato-marshmallow-pineapple-brown sugar crap.

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.

One made with green jello with canned pineapple mixed in, topped with some sort of Cool Whip/cream cheese concoction. My mom calls it "heavenly hash" but I assure you, there is nothing "heavenly" about it.
Another was called "cranberry fluff" which was finely chopped cranberries mixed with Cool Whip and mini marshmallows

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.

That's an old fashioned New Orleans thing cafeterias used to do.

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...

I take some home if they insist and immediately throw it away. Win win. They want to make it, so let them. No harm in throwing it away if you don’t want to eat it.
