30 Lost Thanksgiving Desserts Nobody Makes Anymore

30 Lost Thanksgiving Desserts Nobody Makes Anymore Remember the lost Thanksgiving desserts that once crowded Grandma's table, the ones nobody seems to make anymore? From a wobbling lime Jell-O mold to a chocolate cake with a jar of mayonnaise hiding inside, these old holiday recipes carried whole families through hard times and happy ones. We travel from New England kitchens baking Indian pudding all afternoon to Appalachian stack cakes resting for days under a towel, from Indiana persimmon pudding to Utah's frog eye salad. You'll see divinity that wouldn't set on a rainy day, popcorn balls that burned everybody's palms, pinto bean pie that fooled the whole table, and black walnut cake earned one cracked shell at a time. Each one tells you something about the people who made it and why it slowly slipped away. Watch to the end, and tell us in the comments which forgotten dessert still shows up at your family's Thanksgiving.
