Who's dang pecan pie have you had??? Jello makes me gag. I can assure you a real pecan pie contains zero jello-like substance.

Well, this probably explains it all: it was made by my satan mother in law. It literally was pecan flavored jello crap with pecans stuffed inside, on a crust

If you're talking about the praline, it should melt in your mouth like butter. There should be no bounce or resistance.

Ok, now I'm willing to try it again. The legit thing this time!

Do you prefer the pecans crumbled or whole, or does matter.

I think I like the whole but it really don't matter that much if the rest is right

It's the jelloishness that I hate. Hate jello and the pie is all jello

What on Earth kind of pecan pie have you been given?
Pecan pie should not be gelatinous in the slightest. It should be sticky, but not cohesive like jello. It should have a melty, soft texture with a bit of body from butter.
Who is putting jello in their pecan pie? I need to talk with them. No, I am not sharpening my scalpels. They're already sharp. Do tell, Trip.

Obviously I've never tried it again. I thought that's how it was supposed to be and always wondered how so many people could like it. It's not super popular up here so I don't come across it too often
