Myrna F. Smith (born June 1939),[1] 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. Aunt Myrna is also responsible for the Aunt Myrna's Recipes series which ran from October 2010-January 2012.
Aunt Myrna is mentioned many times throughout 2010-2012 and has made only one appearance on the show where Jack flew down to Alabama and made banana pudding with her. However, her most popular recipe is the Party Cheese Salad, which has gained notoriety in the food community, with many people claiming to have tasted it at various parties, events, and as part of "dares."[2]

Party Cheese Salad
The Party Cheese Salad is one of Jack's most infamous Aunt Myrna 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 Aunt Myrna Party Cheese Salad has developed a cult following, with many people making it as a joke or dare for their friends and family.
Fate
Aunt Myrna remains an enigmatic and mysterious figure in the Scalfani Cinematic Universe, having not been mentioned since the end of the Aunt Myrna's Recipes series with an exception in 2015 when Jack mentions her tip for making venison in a video. She is believed to be alive.
