The only things that would make this concoction worse is coconut – a staple in many a jello/fruit/cool whip combo. Maybe that’s what the cheese is supposed to evoke here…that strange, chewy texture with the weird aftertaste that is usually due to the coconut (even though I normally LOVE coconut, like damn. Whoo. Damn!).

LurkerWithout, you don’t have family from the northern midwest, do you. Who came up with that? Lutheran Church Ladies!

Oh, the culinary horrors perpetrated in that part of the world…largely by my own family…

GAH! COOL-WHIP FLASHBACK!! AAAH!!

Man, I could really go some Mystery Casserole right now…

But Cheese + Jello? What kind of abominable Wisconsin mad-dog came up with that hell brew of a concoction?

*looks at the link to scary foods* but but… Lutfisk is actually not bad…

No seriously, the scary thing about american foods is that they are all good things on their own, but then are put together in frightening combinations.

Though i have been told the same goes for swedish pizzas so…

I’m American and I find this recipe offensive to the taste buds, I mean seriously what did they ever do to the person that thought that was an edible substance?

I would only inflict such a thing on people I don’t like (but I’m not a nice person, sometimes) the trick would be to use the whipped cream to disguise what it actually was. BTW jello +pineapple is NOT “OK” ,ever, period. I’ve had it and it is gross, I had to pick the pineapple out of it because the flavor gets into it and the texture is god awful as well (I relate it to onions which I don’t like either.)

Cheese and Jell-O do not sound tempting, but at least it’s cheese and not sliced hot dogs. *shudder* I swear, some old people are just evil.

Jello + (canned)Pineapple = Okay, I guess.

Adding cheese? That doesn’t sound like a win there….

Yeah, those AMERICANS, they SO crazy . . .

Anywho, the scary part is it never specifies what kind of cheese.

Thank you Joanna, I thought I was the only one to see the horror.

I mean… really… CHEESE? It takes a lot to squick me, but this recepy managed.

Jello. Sugar. Pineapple. Whipped cream… alright something’s missing… CHEESE!

Americans and their wacky, wacky food.

Like that taste on the back end that makes everyone go, “hmmm. Erm, that’s interesting. What is it?” And the Church Lady yells, “It’s CHEESE, motherfuckers!”

Somethin’-somethin’ like that, perhaps?

Oh, I dunno, a nice strong cheddar might add a little somethin’-somethin’…

People, people, people!! You’re missing the point here. This “dish” has pineapple, jello, cool whip, & CHEESE??!!! OMGWTF?! Srsly. I just threw up a little in my mouth, and I actually LIKE some pretty weird concoctions (honey mustard & onion pretzels? I know, right). I’m kinda thinking that it would look like thing that slimes its way across the table in “Better Off Dead.”

I live in the jell-o capital of the world…or at least where it was invented. You can use pineapple as long as it is canned. I’ve done it many times and it always comes out perfectly gelled.

I don’t know about the science involved, but Miriam Cluff’s salad sounds like gross.

Both kiwi and pineapple contain an enzyme that digests the proteins that make up gelatin, unfortunately for my jello science experiment.

If they’re fresh, anyway; with canned, it doesn’t matter.
