I’m from small-town Iowa originally. My grandma made many of these “Midwest Salads”.
I went back for a funeral a few years ago. The was a reception/lunch at our old church. I got a serving of something that looked like jello with cream cheese on top, seemed interesting. But no, it was jello with mandarin oranges in it, and it wasn’t cream cheese, but about a quarter-inch of Miracle Whip on top, sprinkled with grated carrots. I took a bite, smiled, turned to my wife, and said, “I’m home again!”
I mean jello with fruits and whipped cream doesn't sound offensive? I guess just calling it a salad could be.
Unfortunately miracle whip is more like a tangy mayonnaise and it has no business in a dessert
Lol I misread it as cool whip, because who the hell would put miracle whip on that!
Cool whip still sucks compared to whipped cream, but it would still make a decent dessert. Miracle whip though, yuck
Colored me embarrassed, my culinary ignorance is showing.
Yeah, that unfortunately makes way more gross sense
You forgot that miracle whip is Satans anal palp. This message brought to you by several generations of matriachal induced trauma.
Very midwest. Sounds like my grandmother's jello with celery in it.
