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).
In the same thread:
Quote:
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.
