I like both separately, but that sounds wretched.
My grandma used to put canned fruit cocktail in her jello. I get what she was trying to do, but that stuff is nasty on its own. Don't ruin jello while you're at it.

Frozen or fresh green beans in green bean casserole. It has to be canned green beans. I once went to a potluck and this lady used pickled green beans from her garden. It was wretched.
Carrots in jello or cool whip jello is darn close.
Who TF does this. That’s not real, you stop this right now.
Agreed. Or old bananas in there too. I think it came from the depression or something. It’s really wrong
LOL. When our kids were in grade school and my wife was working on her degree I used to make Mac-n-Cheese with frozen peas and tuna. They devoured it.
It's absolutely real and was a staple of small town church potlucks during my childhood (70's/80's). Completely disgusting though.
Had the jello with shaved carrot growing up (lime and orange was the best). Had jello with sliced bananas as well - not my favorite but still ok.
Gonna catch some flack as I am not a Thanksgiving purist (been known to do prime rib or even a brisket one year), but the green bean casserole and scalloped corn can GTFO.

green bean casserole with mushrooms.
Right on! Cooking a turkey is a pain, and most Thanksgiving sides (besides mashed potatoes) are nasty. We are travelling, but our host is having parmesan crusted chicken this year which sounds great to me!

I was served a fruit salad that had tomato in it once. Person who made it should be in jail.
Pumpkin Pie and Sweet Potatoes are garbage.
Carrots and shredded sharp cheddar cheese in jello. Yep that was a thing.
My mom (and grandma used to) do lime jello with green olives and celery in it. Want to make me dry heave? That’d do it.
