My wife pours honey and walnuts on them before baking. Everyone always asks for them.

Except for the people with nut allergies! I hope they are clearly labeled.

Most people I know whose kids have nut allergies ask about ingredients. And most people I know realize a dish has nuts when the dish is literally covered in nuts.

Either fruit skewers or caprese salad skewers (cherry tomato and small ball of mozzarella on a tooth pick)

My go-to is corn salad: Fresh corn, fresh tomato, basil and mozz or feta, with a light balsamic dressing. Worst is anything from a grocery-store bakery. No one wants bad pie or bad pastry.

Best: Seven layer dip
Worst: Crockpot meatballs with that weird grape jelly/ketchup sauce. Disgusting.

grocery store broccoli salad with the fake bacon bits and shredded cheese

Watergate salad

You decide which is best

[Anonymous]

Best - tomato pie with garden tomatoes
Worst- ham salad

Alternate best onion dip and ruffles

Go earlier.

Worst: Throwing a bag of Tostitos and a jar of salsa on the table.

Totally this, but you got the “Best” and “Worst” reversed.

I love a good velveeta dip!
Dislike that frozen fruit salad with the melon balls- unless you spike it

Meatballs in grape jelly is my worst. So so disgusting.

Best would be a really good summer salad with produce from their own garden or a farmers market. Tomato, basil, mozzarella. Tomatoes, avocado, red onion. That sort of thing.

Speak for yourself.

That may have won a prize in 1979, but it isn’t going to now. Just no to condensed cream of anything soup

You scoff but you’d attack it like a starving Affenpinscher.

OMG

FWIW, I love zucchini casserole! And I also love the grape jelly & chili sauce meatballs.

Best: frozen mini cream puffs

Worst: cold cut tray with sweaty cheese cubes

And food poisoning for anyone arriving late

Commercial mayo does not go bad any more quickly than mustard or most other condiments. The more you know!
