BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — Most families have their own traditional holiday dishes they make year after year. While many are influenced by their family's cultural roots, some choose to get experimental when it comes to a Christmas meal with family and friends.
One WBZ NewsRadio staffer's family has their own unique holiday dish they call "green slime."
"Essentially it is this Jell-O mold thing that is an opaque green, it tastes like lime and has like walnuts, [and] I think pineapple chunks," she said.
"I've never even heard of green slime other than like the slime we played with as kids," one man said after hearing about the special holiday dish. "Food being called green slime, no way man."
Green slime might not be for everyone... but for those who are interested in making their own beware most green slime recipes online are not for eating.
