Growing up in Oklahoma there were two dishes that confused me as a child.
Cranberry salad was a bowl of strawberry jello with cranberries and pecans with a layer of cool whip on top.
There was also always sweet potato casserole which was a tray of thick slices of sweet potato covered in maple syrup, sprinkled with brown sugar, and marshmallows placed on top before baking the entire thing.
And yes both were served with the savoury food, and yes there was always 10 different pies, ice cream, an assortment of cookies, and homemade caramels for dessert afterwards.
Looking back, it explains why every single male in the family was overweight.
