I can get them in my regular supermarket. They're right there with the
other canned fruit.

I looked last night and lo and behold they had them! And a tin of
evaporated milk.....fast and real comfort food for me! (I probably
hadn't noticed them recently because I rarely buy tinned fruit these
days) okay so probably not too good for me but after the week from
Hell- who cares? There are a lot worse things I could have had as a
treat

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 :-)

LOL I don't wanna even imagine what it's held together with/by in
several of our
contributing countries (like Canada...held together by "p
yhr m outine"? LOL sorry Cheryl) the mind boggles. I *love* poutine
but that was
just a LOL example of .....it could be held together by many things
we can't even
imagine. Whipped cream was mentioned. Urk. I have no quarrel with sour
cream
and if that;s what Oz folks do, not bad IMHO.

Cool Whip is the same as Angel Delight in the UK I think? Awful stuff
especially the pink one

Dunno and don't care mum used to force feed me it as a kid even
through I loathed it with a vengence- one of the great things about
being grown up as I eat what I like so I wouldn't even look for it in
the shops!

not sure about the names, but there is an ambrosia like salad but you stir
the package of red jello into the whipped cream or cool whip and then add
the other bits, pretty tastey but i used to hate looking at it, Lee
