OMFG. I thought my grandma (RIP) was the only person to ever make this jello for thanksgiving. Pineapple whipped cream mixture. On top of green and red jello.

I loved it. I was the only one who ate it on purpose. Makes me sad. Haven’t had it in many years since she passed.

I really feel like these people need to know how bad they suck... sending them home with 90% of whatever slop they brought is fitting.

MIL (rip) used to make oyster dressing a few weeks before thanksgiving and then freeze it. She then took it out in Thanksgiving Day and reheated in the microwave. Frozen and reheated oysters were a site to behold.

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...


This plastic lemon juice is a crime but I like a plain guacamole with just avocado, salt, and squeeze of lime juice.

My Aunt Bethany makes this horrific lime jello dish. One year she even put Purina Cat Chow in it........

Chow, chow, chow...........

The only person that likes it is Cousin Eddie.

The version I remember had green jello powder stirred into cool whip with mini marshmallows, crushed pineapple and either pecans or walnuts. Was called Watergate Salad. Don't know why.

Why? What difference does it make to you if they cook something? Do you tell every ugly person you see that they’re ugly? If it makes that person happy to make their disgusting casserole, just let them. Find something else to worry about

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.


I love this. Because I can perfectly picture it.

It only makes a difference if they try to shove they're crappy food down your throat and guilt trip you for not eating more of it so your faced with either eating something you hate or making things uncomfortable... Hopefully you haven't experienced that... I have... And it's uncomfortable

I guess I'm lucky because I can't think of anything from my mom or dads side of the family that is truly putrid. However my MiL hates to cook and always puts minimal effort in to anything she actually cooks. So whatever she cooks is usually crap. Last year she came to her senses and bought most of the Thanksgiving spread from another woman who actually likes to cook. Hoping for a repeat of last year.

MIL tries to do baked spaghetti every year. She uses cheese slices. On top of plain spaghetti noodles. Then bakes it. A really long time.

Say “no thanks” and move on. If they get offended by that, it’s their problem—not yours.

I don’t let others dictate what I’m going to eat at thanksgiving.

Had someone who would bring rice dressing that was mostly grease. I would let friends that were over know not to eat that shite bc I only had two bathrooms and anyone who ate it was due to blow my damn bathrooms up. I have an old house....... my pipes can't take that shite (pun intended)

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


Mayonnaise? That sounds disgusting. It sounds like cottage cheese would make more sense. Still not something I would eat. But lettuce, pineapple, cottage cheese, and then say a maraschino cherry instead of a slice of cheese sounds like something that would've been fashionable in the 70's. I could at least understand the history. But mayo? Blecch.
