eww - those pearl onions sound disgusting.

My mom used to like to make lime jello (or was it lemon jello) with shredded carrots and celery in it (a norwegian version of a vegetable?). She'd then get little desert plates and place a piece of lettuce on it and plop some of the jello on top and we'd each get our own plate. Not really disgusting, more like unnessary and odd.

Lutefisk (cod in lye) is definately at the top of my list of icky things. My parents like it, none of us kids would ever touch it. Yes, one year my cat wouldn't even go near it. Funny thing though, I just bought a jar of pickled herring last night. One of those on top a triscuit - yummy. Plus my husband doesn't like them so I get the whole jar to myself.

I also love cranberries. I like homemade cranberry sauce instead of the stuff from the can. I'm also making a spinach salad for tomorrow that calls for dried cranberries.

Most of all, I love the stuffing. My favorite thing to do is put the potatoes, dark meat turkey, and stuffing all together, and then pouring gravy over the entire thing.
