My wife had a cousin who would come by on Christmas eve to drop off a half gallon of his "famous, secret family recipe" eggnog. He'd insist that we all share a glass too.
Nice guy, but his "famous, secret family recipe" eggnog was nasty. It was a Christmas tradition to take a sip, act like it tasted good, instead of like skim milk and cheap whiskey, and then pour it out after he drove off.

My sister makes that.. It's awesome.. But the amount of butter is insane.. You really notice it when it has been refrigerated.

My grandmother made coke salad every year and it went fairly well. Gave my SiL the recipe so she could show up with something that didn’t taste like shite and it was like soup.

We had one aunt who was a German war bride of one of my many uncles, Uncle Felix had passed many years ago, but his wife, Aunt Gerta, was so popular we kept her close. The rest of us were either Italian or Cajun, so Gerta's big German accent stood out.
Aunt Gerta made this dish liver dumpling soup, it was this big brown dumpling sitting in a bowl of chicken stock, yes, it looked like shite. But I was so fond of Aunt Gerta, if she brought it, I was going to eat it and like it. She and I were the only two to eat it, but she didn't mind, as long as I enjoyed it.
After she passed, the next Thanksgiving, I found a recipe and made it in memory of Aunt Gerta. Yes, I was the only one to enjoy it.

This doesn't happen on Christmas day, but there is a side of the family we get together with the week before Christmas and its an in-law's sister who comes everything and makes fricking mashed potatoes with green peas in it. Who the frick does that?
I think the only people who eat it is her sister, brother in-law and her. After awhile you would think that after no one is eating your food, you don't need to waste your time.

My aunt’s Ambrosia salad- ??
My grandmother and great aunt each used to bring a bowl of peas with pearled onions every year for Christmas; a type of competition because one would not let the other one bring a dish without her doing the same. Jealous sisters. Was so funny; one was usually better than the other.

Nope. Never had it.
Standing my ground - recipes calling for “cream of x” can be made with a blond roux and stock.

This. And carrot-raisin salad. It's just graded carrots, raisins, and mayonnaise. It's fricking atrocious.
I once had a conversation with a convicted mass-murderer about the stuff while I was working in a max-security prison.
He was an old yankee, and he came in to get help fixing his reading glasses (inmates naturally can't have the glasses repair kits). He asked me if I was southern. I told him yes. Then he says, "Can I ask you something? WTF is carrot-raisin salad?"
I laughed out loud for about 2 minutes straight and told him that while popular to make it wasn't popular to eat and that even though it was a staple at every church dinner I'd ever been to, I'd never tried it.
Apparently it was served almost daily in the prison chow hall.
It wasn't until after our conversation that I found out he had pleaded guilty to over 20 murders.

I hate to say this, but I'm fairly sure what the "secret ingredient" was and why he was so insistent on all of you drinking it in his presence.....just sayin'.....

My MIL makes a green bean artichoke casserole that her and my wife (no pics) love… but no one else does.

My wife makes her dad two pies and one of her sisters another pie. All three pies die violently.
I hate pies.

I could see it happening, especially from what I’ve read on the OT.

Green jello mold- lime jello, cottage cheese, pineapple, and pecans. It is edible because I eat most foods but why would I eat that when much better choices are available?
