​1. Ham and Bananas Hollandaise & Gewürztraminer
Heavy Sauces can be helped with a bright white, high in acid. Nothing can help those bananas. 

​2. Liver Sausage Pineapple & Syrah
Syrah pairs great with most red meats, no matter what shape they come in.

​3. Frozen Jellied Turkey Vegetable Salad & Unoaked Chardonnay
Those peas didn’t deserve this. 

​4. Lime Cheese Salad & Sauvignon Blanc
Pairs great with the seafood salad and lime Jell-O!

​5. Fruit Patio Platter – With Mayonnaise! & Pinot Grigio
Lemonade and Mayo, everyone’s favorite summertime treat

​6. Tuna Fish Mold & Oregon Pinot Noir
The A-1 really brings out the earthy notes of the wine

​7. Tomato Ham Buffet Ring & Red Zinfandel
-The texture - (*shutters*)

​8. Jellied Tomato Refresher & Dry Rose
This in no way reminds me of the surgery channel

​9. Igloo Meatloaf & Cabernet Sauvignon
This Little guy is actually kind of cute

​10. Furter-Bursting Tater Squirters & Riesling
Of course there’s pimento in the mashed potatoes!
