We are headed to another one of our ward’s ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner’ on Friday and this time I am making dessert. When I asked Chris what I should make he reminded me of the Jello Salad dessert we had a couple weeks back. Although, this was one of those Jello Salads that wasn’t at all a dessert, it was one of those infamous Jello Salads we often hear about in Mormon culture. A couple weeks back we went to a sister in our wards 80th birthday party. Apparently she had spent the week preparing her favourite dish; a lovely Jello Salad. It was packed full with grated carrots and cilantro and cream cheese and I don’t even know what else! And it was all mixed in a lemon-lime jello base. It was pretty scary looking, but me and another girl at our table ventured to try a teensy, tiny, bite. Mine was full of cilantro so that’s all I tasted, but both of us agreed it was pretty disgusting. I know I’ve heard of other Jello Salad’s much worse than this. But I want to know what are the worst Jello Salads that you have seen yourself and maybe even tasted?
Needless to say, my dessert will not be any kind of Jello.

I tend to stay clear even of normal Jello. I don't know if its another one of my revolts against our culture but I'm not a big fan.
The worst I've seen is probably pretty mild. It was a green jello with shredded carrots.
that should be "it's"
I think I have to agree with Tom. The first day in Ecuador my mission presidents wife was like here something to remind you of home, green jello with shredded carrots. Everyone else was happy, so I had to eat it too.
I personally have an excellent Jello salad every Thanksgiving.
Yes James, but is that Mom's green jello salad? cause i don't think that really fits in the same category.
It isn't Mom's green jello salad. James has created his own jello salad, and I will vouch for its deliciousness!
I will miss it this Thanksgiving when he is in Minneapolis.
I cannot imagine putting cilantro in jello--disgusting! I am a fan of jello, but only when no vegetables are included. I haven't had any really disgusting ones before.
Personally, I like Jello with Kiwi. You should try it!
