Pineapple-Cherry "Tropicana" Cake. My ex's dad refused to try it because "it's either a pie or a cake, it can't be both, so make up your mind" and also ''I don't like to eat cherries unless they're fresh off the stem.'' Of course, he liked to hassle me since I was plowing his daughter on a nightly basis so I really can't begrudge him much.

I also make an egg-noodle casserole. The key ingredients to the flavor are sour cream, corn, and pimientos. Of course, you can't bake sour cream, so you must dilute it into creamed soup. My mom refuses to let me delineate from the original recipe but I've always wanted to try cream of mushroom.
