Subject: Re: Ambrosia!



So far the discussion of ambrosia seems to focus on varieties of Jell-o

based desserts rather than the meaning of the word "ambrosia." Am I the

only one who remembers ambrosia as a mixture primarily of orange and

grapefruit slices, with coconut and perhaps pineapple and/or some other

fresh fruits (but here I get vague) but nothing else except maybe fruit

juice?



I remember my grandmother making it as a part of Christmas dinner (it

would have been over 40 years ago), and that I didn't like it. I

probably would have liked it if it had included Jell-o and something

gooey like Cool-Whip (which hadn't been invented then).
