I've never cared for eating the plain stuff but it is pretty to look at. I
do like it made into salad or relish, especially if it has nuts in it. But
only the sugar free. I can and am eating the sugar free, plain. Not
thrilled with it but I need the gelatin. My knee is no longer been locking
up on me since I've been eating it.

One thing I did learn though is that a lot of people do not like bananas in
it. I used to make this when cooking for my MIL as she needed soft foods.
I would put whatever other soft fruits in there that they might have. She
would eat it. She's not picky. But countless other people told me that I
ruined it with the banana. Weird thing is, I don't like bananas but I don't
mind them in Jell-O.
