It has been decided that it's time to separate the wheat from the tares. Who here has the faith to accept green Jell-O, and who shall perish at the Last Day?
Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :
Not me. You bigots need to accept all colors of the Jello-Rainbow.
Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
Of course we accept all colors. We simply believe that green Jell-O is the Lord's chosen flavor. All are welcome, but green Jell-O has a special seat reserved in the celestial kingdom.

I believe "peculiar" in the original greek means something about setting apart through sacrifice or something along those lines.

The first person I met and talked to at the hotel I first stayed in upon moving to SD is named Phil.

No, no, no. No green jello.
Red jello - strawberry, not cherry.
And this is how you fix it. You mix up a large box of strawberry jello and pour half of it in a glass cake pan and put it in the freezer so it will set quickly. While it is setting, you mix some shredded pineapple into the jello left in the bowl. Then, you spread a layer of sour cream on top of the jelled jello, and then pour the jello with pineapple on top and let it jell.
Good stuff. Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :
Anyone ever had Poke Cake? You take white cake, poke holes all in it with a fork, and pour red jello on top of it. Let it set in the fridge, then spread whipped cream on it. The jello saturates the cake where it's poked, hence the name. It's the only way I stand to eat jello. That and trifle. Mmmmmm...trifle. Our English Trifle recipe actually came from my mostly nonmember father's side of the family. Go fig.

Poke Cake!
Thank you, thank you, sarc-mup.
I have talked about this for years, recalling this bizarre dessert that I had at a LDS function that basically involved my entire town -- it was held outdoors at the stake [roughly = to a diocese] ranch/farm and there were two very long rows of tables of food. There were 5 or 6 tables for just dessert.
Anyway, no one that I've brought this up with [and believe me weird Mormon desserts a somewhat frequent topic of conversation in both my family and peer group] knows what the heck I'm talking about. But yes, I remember seeing several rectangular pans of white or yellow box cakes that had had wholes pokes in them and Jello poured over them. Very strange. Repellant even.
EDIT: I feel completely validated.
And: the only true Jello dish is cherry served with real cream that has been whipped with a little sugar and a fair amount of vanilla.

I'm afraid, JonBoy, that you have fallen prey to a Mormon cultural pseudo-doctrine based on a Brigham Young quote that was completely taken out of context as well as what turned out to be spurious comments made by Parley P. Pratt in the Millenial Star during the brief time he edited it -- comments that he later repudiated and acknowledged as based solely on speculation
Scriptural evidence as well as modern revelation clearly states that cherry Jello is the only true restored Jello of the dispensation of the fulness of times and that real whipped cream [no Redi-Whip or Cool Whip] is the Lord's own topping.
And turning Jello into salad by putting vegetables -- esp. carrots -- or fruit -- esp. pineapple -- or cottage cheese in it is simply wrong and one of the abominations referred to by Paul in his epistle to Timothy.
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
The Baptists did NOT invent carrot raisin salad. It's North African. However, you were most likely the first ones to put mayonnaisy products in it rather than honey and cinnamon. Blasphemers.

Here is my heretical opinion of jello.
It sucks swampwater!
Except for the recipe my granny taught me. (non-denominational/methodisty granny - the other was LDS)
Lime jello mix combined with cottage cheese, cool whip and mandarin oranges. Nummy.
Sugar high - here we come!
The LDS granny did not stoop to such desserts as jello, ever! She made homemade pie crust, peeled and cored, sliced and diced, seasoned and spiced some of the best apple pies you have ever tasted. And pumpkin. And berry, and . . . ohhh - sigh of contentment at memories. Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

First of all, trifle is just plain disgusting. Had a roommate make it for us once and it was just stomach-turning wrong in all sorts of ways.
Secondly, what you guys have been referring to as "poke cake" is an actual Jell-o recipe distributed by the Jell-o company. I made it for three years at the restaurant I worked at in High School.
Last thing I'll say about Jell-o is my Mom's recipe for three color Jell-o salad makes all ya'lls stuff look like congealed puke. Every year she makes it for Thanksgiving. Green on the bottom. Red on the top. The middle layer is her secret. All I know is it involves cream cheese and pineapple. Absolutely Fabulous.
The end.

Posted by Zalmoxis (Member # 2327) on :
I think you're a little confused, JonBoy.
I'm presenting the neo-orthodox position.
Sunstone types believe that all Jellos are of equal value and that there should be room for many different types of Jellos, even those that are rubbery or don't set completely or are mixed with walnuts and sour cream. In fact, they encourage Jello experimentation. However, while they give lip service to Jello diversity, in reality they look down on those orthodox Jello enthusiasts who shy away from complex Jello dishes and instead choose to eat Jello plain (or with a dollop of whipped cream).

Phil: Because of your willingness to believe in the true way of gelatin, I am able to give you an exlusive discount on my seminar tape series "Unleashing the Power of Cherry Jello." That's right, for only $599.95, I will send you the complete four-tape set. Plus if you act now, I will also include "The True Way of Fanta Fruit Punch Concentrate" and "The Seven Highly Effective Forms of Funeral Potatoes" -- for FREE! That's three seminars for the price of one.
Kat: There's nothing to be freaked out about. I use my powers for good. Plus -- It's all surface. Heck, while I have heard or read a lot of talk about Sunstone, I've only read 4 articles from it -- and one of those was actually a play, and the other three were all literary-related.
Ic: Coming from a member of the CFC -- the home of Chris Bridges, former home of Bob Scopatz, not to mention you and your occassional zingers -- I take that as high compliment.
JB: It's good to be a Grammar Guru. I give you props for that. But never mess with The Master of Discourse.
