Anyone remember Watergate salad?

[spinbaby]

It was a concoction of instant pistachio pudding, canned pineapple, mini marshmallows, and Cool Whip. If you wanted to get fancy, you could add chopped nuts or bright red maraschino cherries out of a jar. Watergate salad was a holiday staple in our family for decades and totally represents the 1970s to me.

I wander if the Trump scandals will inspire a salad.

6. Reminds me (a Canadian) going to my first Texan (my hubby's family) Thanksgiving.

There was something there called a "Congealed Salad." It was my first time ever encountering this extremely pink... side-dish? I'm not really sure where it was supposed to go in the meal, but when so many of the items in that meal were SO sweet (sweet potatoes with marshmallow topping, congealed salad, candied yams...) I can only imagine it was meant as a side dish.

The one I had wasn't quite congealed, so I guess it was more like a soup. Anyway... it may be a classic Southern tradition, but I'm not going back for seconds.

7. Maybe a Borscht Salad.

10. oh my, missed this post

There's a restaurant in Duncanville that has Watergate Salad on the menu. Fun to read the name but not to eat.

Remember the crazy names given to cakes: Sock it to Me Cake, Harvey Wall Banger Cake come to mind.
