My boomer grandmother who couldn't cook, and who never taught her daughter to cook made this every single fucking holiday - but it was the 'fruit fluff' version taken straight out of a horror food magazine. Now that I live with my boyfriend and bring dishes for the holidays and my grandma died nobody makes it.

Thanks. Fucking. God. Whenever someone does bring this to a party you know 100% that they can't cook, have diabetes and have zero taste or culinary sense. Yes I am American and yes this is a real thing fat fucks make. The version I am talking about is cool whip, a box of jello, a can of pineapples and cottage cheese all mixed together.

A few years ago during my senior High School year the drama club I was in had a winter break party. I brought in two large tubs of Ambrosia Salad (like in the picture) because I didn't know what to make for the party. My mom said she would buy the ingredients for the salad and give me my grandma's recipe so I could make it. When I made it and took a bite it tasted alright and wasn't that bad so I took both containers for the party the next day. The entire school day was kind of a special feeling knowing that there was a drama club winter break party at the end of the day plus every class before hand was laid back because it was the last day before winter break. Anyways when it was time for the party I went I went in a put my cooler bag down and brought out one tub and opened it up and put a big serving spoon in it while everyone else placed their food items (mostly store bought cookies, a few home made dishes, etc) and the whole thing looked nice. We all got in line to get food around the table and I noticed out of everyone that came only my drama teacher took a tiny spoon of it. When the party ended the salad was barely touched and in a way it made me feel sad but at the same time meant that I had more the take home (two full tubs) which wasn't bad because my family enjoyed it and it was still good all the way through winter break.

That kind of cooking is from people having rations during WWII. People did what they could with what they had, and all this new canned/frozen/otherwise preserved shit came out and was most people's only option for food, so the companies making these products would publish recipes to make their sub-par products look "futuristic," separating them from 'real' food, thusly making them more appetizing when not compared to fresh meat and veg.

Really? My grandfather started raising rabbits to sell for meat due to the rationing of meat. Try again, historical revisionist.
>Sugar was the first consumer commodity rationed. Bakeries, ice cream makers and other commercial users received rations of about 70% of normal usage.[19] Coffee was rationed nationally on 27 November 1942 to 1 pound (0.45 kg) every five weeks.[20] By the end of 1942, ration coupons were used for nine other items.[18]:138 Typewriters, gasoline, bicycles, footwear, silk, nylon, fuel oil, stoves, meat, lard, shortening and oils, cheese, butter, margarine, processed foods (canned, bottled, and frozen), dried fruits, canned milk, firewood and coal, jams, jellies and fruit butter were rationed by November 1943.[21]

Now listen here dumdums, what I said is that that's where it comes from.
When it became not only easier but cheaper to make dinner for the family, and with ingredients that wouldn't go bad, it caught on rapidly. But it originated from the war.
After the war, during the 50s and into the 60s when women started joining the labor force in droves, it stuck around and became the new normal. It became a sort of culinary renaissance (but in a gross way), where the limits of cooking with nonperishable ingredients were pushed in all kinds of directions, because it was new. Like when sriracha became the thing, and then people put it on everything, and I'm sure there was sriracha ice cream and everything else.

My great grandma used to talk about how she would draw "seams" on the backs of her calves because they couldn't get pantyhose, so she at least looked like she was wearing them.
She also used to scribble a pencil onto the back of a drawer and use the loose graphite as eyeshadow.
