Description

I hated Ambrosia Salad for 50 years — and it turns out the recipe was deliberately ruined. Here's the real history behind America's most forgotten dessert. From a 1867 Southern cookbook to a 1920s marshmallow company that hijacked the recipe, to Betty Crocker's 1961 version that swapped whipped cream for sour cream — this is how Ambrosia Salad went from America's finest fruit salad to a 1970s potluck punchline. And how I finally made it right. This is the 6th episode in my Road to 250 series. The Iron Spoon Kitchen - Every Saturday, history you can taste. #ForgottenRecipes #AmbrosialSalad #vintagerecipes
