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 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 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. |

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 "Lesley" wrote in message ...
