"Ambrosia" was "Manna" Recipe Needed - Ping Jill (and all other cooks)
ROTFLMAO! You're amazing!
I could never do research work - I'm *way* too distractible - I'd find some interesting tidbit and go off on a tangent and forget what I started out to research! I have the attention span of a flea! -- Hugs, CatNipped See our clowder at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.com/rpcablog/ "cshenk" wrote in message ... "CatNipped" wrote "cshenk" wrote in message Snicker, I should have waited! Posted before I saw you found it. If it helps any, you aren't crazy to recall it as called 'manna' as that was a generic deep south name for just plain great sweet treats. Some are bread based and some are not. The relation is in the bible, manna just fell on you when you needed uplifting. A very old southern relation was to call a sweet just when you needed that uplifting, 'manna'. 'Momma's making manna tonight' would get the kids all excited. It was also used to keep kids at bay 'hush youngun or Momma won't give you no manna tonight'. It's very possibly your long ago MIL did indeed call it 'manna'. But thank you for responding so, um, comprehensively - LOL! I forgot how thorough you are when you are asked for information, I could take a page from your book. Thanks, sweetie, I really appreciate it. Hehe it's just me. No need for you to be the same. Are you a researcher by occupation/avocation? Gulp! You fiound me out! EEK!!! Gotta go hide now ;-) Seriously though, you are close. Data Analyst. Makes me pretty good by nature with trivia. The description of the recipe you posted was automatic then trivia reminded me of the name as your MIL was probably born around 1880-1900. That centered it to likely oval kumquats in her early days (a relatively northern growing citrus able to handle Alabama with advent about 1850 or so in the USA). Earliest versions would have used soured cream with sugar added. Yogurt although makeable down south, just was not known until relatively recent decades. |

All taken care of, thanks. *It was my fault, I got the name of it wrong - it's called "Ambrosia" (food from the gods as is Manna). *Carol replied with some great recipes and I found a web page that's full of them (I guess there is no one "official" recipe for it, so you just pick one by which ingredients are in it). -- Hugs, CatNipped It sounds like what my mom used to make, only she called it "Heavenly Hash." Mandarin oranges, mini-marshmallows, nuts, coconut, sour cream. It *is* yummy. Sherry |

They're even available at our regular supermarkets most of the time, although unlike most of the canned fruit, there's maybe one or two cans of mandarin segments, rather than many different brands with lots of cans of the same fruit.

There are a lot worse things I could have had as a treat Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs I've been busy in RL and finally got back online. First word of CN on the mandarin oranges mentioned *whole*. Commonly canned are *segmented* not *whole*. Turns out she did mean *segmented* but unluckily I was first responder and took it literally. Not, they are NOT tangerines. I am from a place where all manner of citrus grows all over the place, and it ain't UK. I am now in another place where LOL *no* citrus at all grows here as it is too d*** cold and dry. From what the OP posted I first had the wrong idea that she might be talking *kumquats* but no. I am alone, apparently, in disliking Ambrosia/.whatever. I ate so much fresh raw coconut right off the trees (with my father hacking, pounding, and cracking for me) that as often results, I can't stand it now. And the final reason I never liked this popular salad/dessert is that from Day One I have hated mayo. I hold tuna salad together with *horseradish*. To each their own, LOL. Ewwww, I can't imagine Ambrosia being held together by *mayo*. Yuck! And none of my family particularly likes coconut (I don't mind fresh coconut, but the dessicated is entirely forgettable). Therefore my "American Salad" which you folks know as Ambrosia, is made with sour cream and doesn't have coconut in it :-) Yowie |
