@BZBrainz@actuallyautistic@audhd Total agreement re: jello (I make pretty good mashed potatoes). I horrified the Elder Relatives when I asked 'could I please not have any' of a certain traditional-and-served-every year jello concoction one year; it was served the next year but it turns out nobody else really liked it either and it was never served again.
@servelan@actuallyautistic@audhd I wonder how many dishes like that are at communal tables… served just because they always have been. I call the jello desserts “fancy salad” because a friend, in jest, told me that was what it was called in the Midwest—even though I now know she was teasing me, the language stuck.
