What items do you dread seeing at a potluck?
Carrot & Raisin salad - ugh, my mother would make it and force us to eat it. Frozen fruit bowl - mushy blobs that all taste the same |
|
Pimento cheese.
Urgh. |
|
Jello mold surprise
Mexican bean dip hidden in the rest of the dip Spaghetti that is probably home made but seems like it came from a can |
|
Agree on anything with Jello. So gross.

I must be an outlier. I kind of love most salads made with Jell-o. Maybe it's a 70s nostalgia thing? Does anyone else remember Knox blox?
Can't stand that fruit salad with the melon balls in it. |
| That sweet salad with the raw crunchy ramen noodles in it. |
|
Punch with sherbet
|
This! But this reminds me of drinks at a cheesy school dance or end of year party. |
Really? My noodle cabbage salad with almonds is always the first to be gobbled up! |
I really like this dish too. It's so good. |
What is it? Never heard of it. How do you know about it? |
| 3 bean salad |
|
I hate the cold bean salad (Texas caviar) that everyone was sharing their recipes for on the "favorite potluck dishes" thread.
And quinoa salads. Basically anything healthy. |
I first tried it at a cast party twenty-some years ago and asked for the recipe. Shredded cabbage, green onions, slightly softened ramen noodles, sesame seeds, and toasted slivered almonds. For the dressing, chicken-flavor packet from the noodles, sugar, salt, white pepper, oil, vinegar, and water. People inhale it. |
Which beans? I make a black bean salad with corn, peppers, etc. Is that what you hate? |
