My mom, however, is a full-on jello connoisseur, even though she's a convert to Mormonism. She'll say things like, "I'm making cheesy potato and ham casserole for dinner so I think I'll make orange jello. It pairs well with cheesy potato casserole."
A couple weeks ago, I was making pork chops and decided to make some jello. I looked in the cupboard and thought, "hmmm, I think peach jello would pair well with pork chops." I've crossed over.
I guess jello is the Mormon substitution for wine? Next time I go to a fancy restaurant I'll ask to see the jello list and see what happens.
In case you're wondering which jellos would pair well which which dish, I thought I'd make a little list for you. You really don't want to have the wrong jello with the wrong dish. It would be a major social faux pas.
I don't know about you, but if a man made me a layered jello, I would fall head over heels. I think I'll pass on any jello with vegetables though. That's for the more refined palette.
What's your favorite jello?

I'm not sure I said "pairs well with" but I do think orange jello goes with ham and cheese casserole. Who doesn't?
Really funny post! I'll pass on the green jello and hot dogs though!
I absolutely hate jello. Does that make me a bad mormon? Jello is just so disgusting, it's not vegetarian/vegan, and the way it jiggles freaks me out. So, maybe I'm a bad mormon and maybe I'm a bad Utahn (I think it's Utah's state food) but I don't care.
and from the Non Mormon side of the family, let me just sum up my favorite jello in just two words. Jello Shots! any color.
This is my favorite list ever. I am going to frame it and hang it in my future kitchen. It's amazing!!!!! hee hee!!!
