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.

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.

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.

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

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

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