Thats because you have to put the raisins in it.
I grew up in a very, very WASPY home in New England. Carrots in Jello was a regular at Sunday afternoon dinners.
I married a nice Polish/Italian girl 25 years ago.
Its been about 25 years since I wanted carrots in Jello.
But, as an aside, there is nothing more bland than Polish food. You boil it until there is no flavor, and then slop it in butter. It is no wonder none of the relatives lived past 70. All of the Italians live into their 90’s.
I like green jello with pineapple, cottage cheese/shredded colby or whipped cream and nuts in it....so sue me!
