Need a no-brainer dessert for a New Year's Day brunch

Why is everyone suggesting strawberries when they are OUT OF SEASON??? They'll be expensive and probably won't taste good.

Had delicious ones last night....perhaps a bit more expensive...do not remember.... but very tasty....

Target and trader joes both have a ton of strawberries right now and they are great

They're in season in South America, so if you're not a locavore, you're in luck.

The jello suggestion was a joke referencing another thread on this forum. I can see by your post why you didn't get it. Lighten up, Francis. PS-I do like you bomb idea.

No actually I do get it and I think jello is hilarious. I just didn't realize you were kidding. Someone did bring jello salad to a potluck I went to recently and I don't think it was joke.

Ok, now I am curious... what is wrong with jello as a dessert in this area? I am the poster who HATES jello, so I don't mind this "rule," but I am curious.

It's too déclassé

My sister-in-law's mother always makes Jello for Christmas dessert and we have to choke it down. But you know what? It is the one dessert that is always finished first.

I cannot understand Jello being "declasse" in this area, after all Jello is so "American!" If I had to choose one dessert that represents America, or when you see you immediately associate with the US., I would choose apple pie and/or jello.
