slo’s FRIDAY 6/30 poll - Jello

[CynBeth]

I like jello we buy it every once in a while.

 

[bobbiwoz]

DH really likes it, I am OK with it. Years ago I had Jello Easter Egg molds and made them every year, the Grands loved making them and eating them.

 

[leebee]

I'm OK with jello. I like it but never think of making it. Funny... I saw a recipe this week for a red-white-blue layered jello dessert and thought that would be something the resident 6 year old could make for the family holiday BBQ. Sometimes we buy jello cups to put in lunches or something, and there IS jello in the drawer in the kitchen- I just never think to make it.

By the way, I'd be up for jello shots once I get off of the pain meds for my knee...

 

[fly girl]

Eh, it’s ok. Would never be my first choice but I don’t dislike it.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I like it. Grew up with it, having it often. Not so much now.

 

[LoveDaisy]

I eat jello when it’s a shot with that said I prefer a pudding shot to Jell-O shot.

My mom is an amazing cook/baker. The only she can’t make is jello (never sets up) so I sometimes make it for her and my dad when I visit.

Nurse, this patient isn't holding down food too well- let's get her some Jello!

Funny you say that - had surgery last month and every day they'd bring me orange jello B, L, and D. By the second evening I told dietary services to please stop because it was just going to the trash!

 

[Mysterian]

I like Jello, I rarely have it though. Some is better than others. I prefer the Jello that's more solid than dribbley.

It's a pretty food too. I remember diners and airports, seeing little things of Jello just a jigglin' and catching the light.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

Ugh...blech...ick...yuck. I cannot stand Jello. I don't like the texture, and this is coming from someone who regularly eats octopus.

 

[unrequited23]

I make it occasionally. The kids think it's a special treat when I pour it into fancy glasses to set up. I usually make a jello poke cake with blue & red jello for the 4th of July.

 

[design_mom]

I like jello. When I make it, I always add some extra unflavored gelatin to it to make "jello cubes" (my aunt used to make it for us that way.) Then we either eat it with our hands (make in 9x13 pan and cut it like brownies), or I cut it up into bite-size cubes and serve it in a bowl.

One time, when I was prepping for a colonoscopy, my DH offered to make jello for me, but he "forgot" the extra-gelatin trick. My teenage daughter came in and said "Yum! Jello! Can I have some?" but she literally spat it out and said "there's something wrong with it!" The only thing 'wrong with it' was that it was prepared the normal way! She was not a fan of normal Jello texture!

 

[lovesmurfs]

Only do Jello when I need a clear liquid diet.

 

[georgina]

I don't buy it, don't make it. I prefer to get my sugar from treats like ice cream (I don't consume artificial sweeteners if I can help it)

 

[lucas]

The only time I eat Jello is for a colonoscopy prep, the day before the procedure. Can't stand it otherwise.

 

[CdnCarrie]

I like it okay. My kids never seem to like it much so didn't make it very often. I would have it if they liked it.

 

[MamaMermaid]

Not a fan but wish I was!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

I chose that I love Jell-O because, I do love Jell-O brand pudding This one product only. As a kid, I did like Lime Jell-O sometimes, probably more for its brighter green color than how it tasted. Honestly, it's been forever since I've had actual Jell-O that I have no clue what I would think of it today. Glad some of you, of course, still do enjoy

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

It's OK, I cannot remember the last time I had it or made it though.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I love Jello! I make sugar free for DH, or regular if it's just for me (for a prep or something.)

I like jello. When I make it, I always add some extra unflavored gelatin to it to make "jello cubes" (my aunt used to make it for us that way.) Then we either eat it with our hands (make in 9x13 pan and cut it like brownies), or I cut it up into bite-size cubes and serve it in a bowl.

We used to call those "Knox Blocks"!

(Now I just use the "Jigglers" recipe on the package - usually combining two flavors.)

I make it occasionally. The kids think it's a special treat when I pour it into fancy glasses to set up. I usually make a jello poke cake with blue & red jello for the 4th of July.

I was just thinking of making one of those! I remember my aunt made them when I was a kid, but I don't remember whether it was angel food cake or regular white. - Which do you use?
