Myrna Adkins Smith (born June 1939-), commonly known as "Aunt Myrna," is a character reportedly related to Jack Scalfani. According to Jack, she is the creator of the infamous "Party Cheese Salad", which has gained a reputation for its questionable ingredients and unusual preparation techniques, with many people claiming to have tasted it at various parties, events, and as part of "dares."

Aunt Myrna is mentioned many times throughout 2010-2012, however has only made one physical appearance on the show, when Jack flew down to Alabama to make banana pudding with her.

Party Cheese Salad

The Party Cheese Salad is one of Jack's most infamous recipes and videos. According to Jack, the recipe calls for lemon Jell-O, crushed pineapples, cream cheese, green bell pepper, pimento, celery, Cool Whip, nuts, and shredded American cheese, and it is typically served in a large communal bowl at gatherings. The recipe's origins are unknown, but it is said to be Aunt Myrna's mother's recipe. Another possibility is that Aunt Myrna got the recipe from an early twentieth-century cookbook of aspic recipes. Despite its disreputable reputation, the Party Cheese Salad has developed a cult following, with many people making it as a joke or dare for their friends and family.

Personal life

From available information, Myrna attended Ensley High School in Birmingham, Alabama from 1953-1957. She married Robert Louis Smith in 1959, who has since died on 5 November 2013. Myrna sold her house seen in the banana pudding video to a Greg Knight on 13 May 2015. Myrna's next house was then sold on 20 May 2020, with her current residence being unknown.

Aunt Myrna remains an enigmatic and mysterious figure in the Scalfaniverse, having not been mentioned since the end of the "Aunt Myrna's Recipes" series, with an exception in 2015 when Jack mentioned her tip for making venison during a video. On a 6 January 2024 livestream, Jack stated he doesn't see Myrna anymore, and Tammy revealed that Myrna was "not doing well".
