What comes to mind when you hear the word ambrosia?

[Warpy]

5. The only common elements I've ever seen in stuff called "ambrosia"

are some kind of fruit, some kind of mixture, some kind of glop to sit in, and the fact that I always turned it down (gladly) because it had some kind of citrus in it and I could plead allergy and the worst of it had a ton of coconut to get stuck in one's teeth. So I guess my own synonym for "ambrosia" is "no thanks."

I have noticed that the farther south you go, the more citrusy it gets. Up north it can be apples and dried fruit in glop and if it weren't for the glop, I'd probably eat it up north.

The glop can vary from flavored yogurt, which is the least offensive, to Jello whipped into Cool Whip, a combination of mayo and some sort of dairy, and marshmallow fluff (the most offensive). Suburban housewives are always extremely proud of their ambrosias, most of which are from recipes clipped out of adverts in magazines.
