National Ambrosia Day: Ambrosia: food of the gods! Literally! In ancient Greek mythology, ambrosia was a food that granted immortality and was restricted only to the divine. But in modern times, the culinary definition of ambrosia has changed dramatically. A kind of fruit salad, ambrosia is a mixture of all the bite-sized cuts of fruit you expect in a fruit cocktail–pineapples, mandarin oranges, maraschino cherries, etc.–but mixed in with miniature marshmallows and shredded coconut. Sometimes, all these components of ambrosia are folded into a pudding or whipped cream. Ambrosia always feels more like a fully composed dessert instead of a combination of fruits like fruit cocktail.
