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 1 week ago (4 children)

are these supposed to taste savoury, or sweet?

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

I thought that was Midwesterners.

[–] CombatWombat@feddit.online 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] CombatWombat@feddit.online 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] negativenull@piefed.world 11 points 1 week 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.

I think I've seen that recipe

Edit: there's a lot of variations, some have pineapple, mayo or miracle whip, cool whip, vinegar or lemon juice, etc. but try just putting all those ingredients in a search and you'll find all kinds of "sunshine salad" and "cottage cheese salad " recipes with Jello as the binder.

The answer is Mormons - Mormons love Jello

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 29 points 1 week ago

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

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.

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 1 week ago

Nope it’s definitely Mormons

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

And trampolines for some reason.

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

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week ago

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

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 13 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] aldhissla@piefed.world 9 points 1 week ago

☝️It's not a belt.

... I'll see myself out.

Is this what they mean by the big J?

[–] clifmo@programming.dev 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

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

[–] Doom@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

The only acceptable jello contains booze.

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Are those striped areas where it is half twiced so 100% of the average level?
