LiK has a "family recipe" that everyone calls "the green stuff." When the elders of the family began to pass on, there was "great panic" throughout the entire remaining generations of the family that "the GREEN STUFF RECIPE MUST BE FOUND!!!!. It appeared that no surviving person had the recipe, or remembered how it was "brewed."

The recipe was recovered (and was called "green stuff" in her mother's old diary), and copies were distributed to all the surviving descendants of the curse. For a while "green stuff" appeared at every "meeting of the accursed." So far as I observed no one every ate it, although a few of the younger kids suggested it might be "ammunition for a food fight;" but it was ceremonially exhibited and "homages to the green stuff" were duly rendered.

More recently, it has (thankfully) been relegated to complaints at every get-to that "nobody brought the green stuff," and hopefully within another generation or two it will be just a "dim memory" of an ancient family curse.

Green Jello is definitely one of the ingredients. I REFUSE even to attempt to identify what else was in it.

Be warned that I also have no knowledge of what was done with all of it that remained after the earlier meetings, or where it might be lurking to reappear as a curse on some unsuspecting others, or on future generations of her family.
