    Church potluck every Sunday when I was a kid. A whole buffet line of jello based not dessert dishes. Usually peas in green jello, shredded carrots in orange jello,or hotdog in jello abominations. If not jello, there were at least 10 mayonnaise based atrocities.

    I ate a lot of dinner rolls.

      In defense of my old church:

      Pizza biscuits.

      Get Pillsbury biscuit dough, slap down one, slap down mozzarella, marinara, pepperoni/sausage, slap down another biscuit over top, do this 12 times, cover and bake.

      Sorta like a poor man’s calzone… or, arguably, they’re just super sized pizza pockets.

      Don’t pair well with grape juice imo, but they were honestly pretty good.

      We did eventually get an Italian soda station bar type thing, no clue if we just aped that from the Mormons or came up with it independently.
