For those of you who have never had the misfortune of traveling to the highlighted area, this is because Mormons make “salads” by suspending the most random ass ingredients you’ve ever imagined in jell-o, and the highlighted area is the highest density area of Mormons in the US.

My (WASP) grandmother used to do this too. The fruit ones were alright. The other ones were not.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago (4 children)

are these supposed to taste savoury, or sweet?

[–] Batmancer@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I’ll try almost any dish at party at least once. The jello salads have always been strange to me.

I do like texture sometimes, I wish the flavors were my thing. I also like the look of the food items being suspended in a glass dome like shape.

I like it when it's fruit in jelly, because then you feel motivsted to est your way to it

[–] M137@lemmy.today 6 points 3 days ago

motivsted to est

I think someone doped your jell-o.

That one doesn't seem too bad to me. Shrimp are often eaten cold, and with lime. So cold shrimp in lime Jello might actually slap.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I thought that was Midwesterners.

[–] CombatWombat@feddit.online 28 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Midwesterners prefer mayonnaise-based salads to Jello-based salads in my experience.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 days ago (2 children)

There are plenty of salads out there with both jello and mayo

[–] CombatWombat@feddit.online 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Saints preserve us (from the jello-mayo salad, to be clear)

My family does a green jello with sour cream spread on top. More than one new person to holiday dinner has thought it was whipped cream and got a bit of a jump scare. Easier to tell something is funky when we fully commit and put shredded cheddar cheese on top...

like Carrots, raisins, cottage cheese, grapes, nuts, etc.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)
[–] negativenull@piefed.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I've had carrots, raisins, cottage cheese, and grapes all in one. I've had other combos with walnuts/almond in another.

The answer is Mormons - Mormons love Jello

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 29 points 4 days ago

Cause it's not a sin to fuck it right?

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And trampolines for some reason.

At the same time? Sounds messy

Quakers tend to be environmental and political activists and a higher than average number of the ones I know are vegans.

Quaker salads are usually quinoa based. 14 kinds of quinoa salad at a Quaker pot luck.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Quaker salads are usually quinoa based

That's unexpected.

No, Quakers hate Jell-O. That shit jiggles right off their trembling forks.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Nope it’s definitely Mormons

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 27 points 4 days ago

Not a belt. More of a blob, or a mold if you will.

Btw for anyone who isn't aware Dan, the self-professed crank, is a senior writer at the national review most famous for his constitutional originalism and being anti-anti-MAGA. Like, he never advocates for Trump, just criticizes his critics. Read his works and come to your own conclusion on if he is a crank.

Informing us that there is context for this, without providing said context.

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This causes me to question who spent their time finding out the Jell-O consumption with what looks like a finer resolution than just by state. Like why?

[–] trem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If it's brandname Jell-O, then the brand might know how much they're delivering to each store...

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 days ago

Ah, I didn't even know it was a brand. They might be it.

Thermal imaging reveals the true size of Utah’s Great Salt Lake.

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 13 points 4 days ago

The Funeral Potato belt is almost identical to this one too.

[–] GeorgimusPrime@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

The US is a feminine hygiene product?

[–] aldhissla@piefed.world 9 points 4 days ago

☝️It's not a belt.

... I'll see myself out.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

See also: Funeral Potatoes.

Is this what they mean by the big J?

[–] Doom@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

The only acceptable jello contains booze.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Looks like they wanted to cut some Jell-O in the shape of Utah and the rest is the leftover bits from doing so
