Wow, that's nuts.It's like preparations for the mormon superbowl. I guess they figure if they can get people looking forward to all sorts of treats, more people will participate in listening during conference weekend.
Wouldn't it be more appropriate for people to make a bunch of recipes from their food storage to rotate out the old stuff and, just generally, food storage meals would be more "mormon" than creme brulee french toast.
Surprising though, all those recipes and not a single jello recipe or funeral potatoes. have they no sense of tradition?

Ha ha I like that. Then the cuisine would match the entertainment. Old (very old), stale, staid, boring.
Want to make conference more interesting? Eat lots and lots of chili, and boiled eggs, and let the hilarity ensue! Grades should be given on volume, length of burst, pungitsy, stealth, and how long it lingers. Anyone that can make someone else puke is an instant winner!
Maybe we should come up with a 'speshul' cookbook for GC.
Some serving suggestions:
Hinckley's wrinkly bouquet - prunes on a stick
Snack:
Wheat treats - 30 yr. old wheat from your food storage, boiled, then fried; sprinkled with 30 yr. old salt
Drink: Spring zing: gather up all the new leafy plants you can find, rinse & run through a blender. Add water & flavor with green gelatin from your food storage.
* 2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin * 1/2 cup cold coffee (or Kahlua) * 3 cups hot coffee * 1/4 cup sugar (or up to 3/4 cup according to desired sweetness) * 1 pinch salt
Directions:
Prep Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
1. 1 In a large bowl combine gelatin and cold coffee. 2. 2 Allow to sit 10 minutes to soften. 3. 3 Add hot coffee, sugar and salt; stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and mixture is clear. 4. 4 Pour into individual serving dishes and chill till set. 5. 5 Serve with sweetened whipped cream
They used to call that "beer cheese soup" in Minnesota. I'm not sure if it's because it's made with beer or what, but you dip your breadsticks in it.
Accuracy fail on the recipes, btw. I don't see a single recipe calling for jello with carrot shavings or bits of celery. We all know that's what Mormons really eat at Conference.
