Talk:Ambrosia (fruit salad)

640:, despite the whimsical site name. This source & others trace marshmallow sap desserts back to ancient Egyptians & Greeks, and mention that the gods were reputedly big fans, so perhaps even the name 'ambrosia' has more history than just a 19th c dish. I am about as far from a food historian as is possible (got a 'D' in history, still think KD with ketchup is a pretty neat recipe idea), so I really will have to leave the research to others. -- 230: 50: 21: 112: 102: 81: 439:
I hate to object to the whole content of an article, but I've encountered many versions of "ambrosia" as a fruit salad that contain fewer ingredients.

The link for traditional ambrosia salad doesn't allow you to go back once you've arrived without clicking on the back button for the previous sites you've visited. That is, you can't click on the back button alone, but rather must call up the menu of previously visited sites. So perhaps that site

What can be done? Not much! The video is what it is, unless the original producers (a team of WP editors & 3rd parties) wish to edit it. I had no sound with my browser (Chromium Edge), but I suspect the two interjections were asides to a coworker off camera, accidentally picked up by the mic

There is a disturbing component to the video in which two of the subtitles say "help me" and "please" (towards the beginning and the middle), without any apparent relevance to the rest of the video. What can be done about this ? Have a great day !

and that while current tradition places its origins in the South (as in the first link I've listed), there's no old or original evidence for that (or against it).

Is the article correct that ambrosia salad normally contains yogurt? That doesn't sound right to me. I'm tweaking this slightly, but also wanted to ask.
