hey bitch,

That is a classic merican' dish and a staple of potluck's, pick-nicks and bbq's on a national basis. Usually made with cool whip, Jello and some random fruit for token healthiness. Now if you would kindly crawl back in to you misplaced hole of pretentiousness in whatever not as good as America country your from.

also, don't forget the mini marshmallows.

i guess it's pretty much just a chocolate/caramel/nougat covered apple slice with nuts and whipped cream

American here. Never heard of that shit until now and I'm sure the "salad" part is more for alliteration.

That or it's a dessert salad in the same sense Fruit Salad is. I'm sure most people skip the mayo though.

Whatever the case may be, you need to stop looking at the US as a collective. Shit's regional as fuck.

People need to realise that most of our states are larger than most of their nations. I know they know the regional differences in their own countries - perhaps even sharp divisions within their major cities (e.g. Chinatown). Why would they think U.S.A. is a homogenous mass of failure and despair?

I never heard of it. After going to the wiki page to verify that there's no Miracle Whip in it - those diseased subhumans in the Midwest will put Miracle Whip in IV bags if you don't stop them - I have decided that I am okay with the concept but not going out of my way to try it.

Indiana here, this isn't 'too' uncommon.. but its not really something you pick up in the 'big' chain stores like Walmart or whatever.

Every party or get-together or church function has that one fat lady who'll bring a giant bowl of that shit.
Usually its got chopped up walnuts and marshmellows instead of snickers, and pineapple chunks instead of apples.
The ingredients are very.. varied depending on the tastes of the person making it, though whipped cream and some sort of sweet fruit seem to make the base of it.
...but it always looks exactly the same as that picture there.
.....with a few green or pink-ish red variations. (Where they'll mix in some sort of minty shit or cherries for the hell of it)

>> No.4734472

>>4734466
Also, a note on flavor-

I've never had a 'bad' bowl of this stuff. ..but its never tasted particularly good. Or anything i'd get a second bowl of.
Its basically like having a giant mouthful of sweet whipped cream and fruit, with crunchy shit in it.

>> No.4734481

Fam from Minnesota and South Dakota - yes it is a real thing. Salad is used there in a very different way than it is in the rest of the states - this is a DESSERT salad and goes in the salad category for potlucks. My mum made it for us about twice ever, it's too sweet for our silly Californian taste buds.

My aunt used to serve this stuff, well not exactly that but marshmallow salad with mandarin oranges, cherries, chopped apples, grated coconut, grapes, and maybe some other stuff.

I'm not sure how it was invented, but it was good. Made me feel like murrika strong. Which, at the time, it was.

Philadelphia here, seconding this.
The regional cuisines of the US, in order from best to worst, rank:
1. New England
2. The South
3. Mid-Atlantic
4. Tex-mex
5. West Coast
6. Hawaii
7. Midwest
This, of course, excludes the nectar of the gods that is Scrapple, to be fair. If it were included, Mid-Atlantic cuisine would blow everything out of the water, no contest.

I'm from Missouri and I've never heard of someone putting snickers in this type of dish. Usually this sort of thing is just fruit, whipped topping, marshmallows, and some sort of jello or something. I always see it around at family reunions and the like, but no one ever really eats much of it.

Not all Southern cuisine is Paula Deen-tier, cardiac-arrest inducing shit loaded with sugar and/or fat.
Go get yourself some well-prepared grits, barbecue chicken, Hoppin' John, okra, collard greens, hoecakes, or baked beans [No canned shit] and tell me that's not both tasty and healthful.
Also,

The Confederacy never controlled East Tennessee because the Federalist sentiment there was so strong. And then you have West Virginia, which exists because they said "Fuck Virginia and fuck the Confederacy, we'll rejoin the Union as our own state."

My family is from Iowa, my late aunt and still-living uncle own an apple farm, and I don't know what this is.
Though really, don't be too hard on people for liking it. Pre-health-concerned America, no one cared if you put Jello, whipped cream, candy, and apples together. Jello was pretty hot shit. Kids probably loved it, what with all the sweet stuff. Having apples in it meant getting rid of fruit that might have spoilt otherwise in older fridges.

Ausfag here. I dated an American for a while and went to his house for Christmas dinner.
There were no vegetables at all except for mashed potato. Instead, there was 'marshmallow salad' which seemed to be jelly, marshmallows, miracle whip and thickened cream. Those people went through miracle whip like it was candy. They were from Oregon.
It seems like it's actually pretty normal eating habits for yanks. I will never understand.

i have had this shit. a common dessert in the rural area i came up in.

im not defending the strange notion of using snickers in, well, anything, but i think you guys have the wrong idea about this stuff.

the snickers bar is chopped up to the point of being nearly imperceptible. its really just apples with whipped cream and tiny little crumbles of chocolate/candy.

i get the feeling some here are imaging snickers bars cut into bite sized pieces and covered with whipped cream. All the times i have had its its been mostly apples. i had to ask what it was, you dont really get "snickers" from it. .

snickers work better in batter as the nought being denser holds up to the heat in a better fashion. Battered boost is where it is at
