No Lettuce, No Shame — Кассета

Midwest potlucks have a special kind of logic, especially when it comes to salads. In this episode, Kali and Jen break down the Midwest classics that show up at every gathering, from Snicker salad and cookie salad to ramen noodle salad, Jello salads, and the creamy sweet sides that confuse everyone who did not grow up here. They get into why these dishes became such a thing, including church and community potlucks, feeding a crowd, travel friendly recipes, and the post war boom of packaged foods like Jello, pudding mixes, canned fruit, and Cool Whip. Plus, they debate the real Midwest rules, what counts as a salad, what belongs on the salad table versus the dessert table, and why you basically never show up empty handed.
