Oops, Beest's boss's wife.
From here:

I never knew they ate these things when I moved here. At the first pot-luck beest's bosses wife went to (they shipped his whole department over), she took a sherry trifle and watched in horror as people blobbed it on the plate next to the lasagna and ate -and enjoyed- the two together.
Life would be boring if we all liked the same things, though (and maybe they were just better at being polite).

Jinx's comment about pumpkin pie being more savory than sweet potato pie made me wonder if she's interpreting the question the same as I am. When I've commented on sweet/savory here (meaning main course (not sweet)/dessert (sweet) ) several people have taken savory to mean tasty/flavorful/not bland rather than not sweet. Maybe something to do with maple syrup being considered a natural accompaniment to sausages and bacon, carrots in jello being viewed as a classic dish and potatoes with marshmallows and other stuff a must-have at thanksgiving.
