I had a European friend complain that Americans are so egocentric that they call their music “Country Music.” He was also mad we put mayonaise on a pasta and call it a salad.
Green Fluff is just a derivative of Ambrosia, which is very much a Southern-States creation. We Midwesterners simply made it better. /j
Jokes aside, my grandmother used to make her own homemade cherry ambrosia. That recipe is lost with Dementia (she never wrote it down either, heh) so I’ll probably never have Pink Fluff that good again. Don’t knock it 'til you try it.
It’s a great dessert. But Midwesterns treat it exactly like a lettuce salad. Like you go to a buffet and people will put pistachio/marshmallow pudding on their plate next to their steak.
Do they not use the word country as a synonym for rural? I checked the Cambridge dictionary, it’s their second definition listed, even higher than where that definition is listed in Merriam Webster. It’s like complaining rock music is made with guitars instead of boulders. Does he also think that country is like the only genre of music made in America? Though some country singers do like to put a lot of nationalism in their music which does kind of confuse things.
I’m a firm mayo by itself as a sauce hater though so I’m with him there. Even more abominable are the jello (or jelly for those in the UK) “salads.” It’s not a salad!

I am also mad about the second part.
If you want rage, Midwesterners put marshmallows in pistachio pudding and call it salad.

Pistachio pudding sounds amazing
It’s a great dessert. But Midwesterns treat it exactly like a lettuce salad. Like you go to a buffet and people will put pistachio/marshmallow pudding on their plate next to their steak.
I never cared for it. Green jello pudding and I’ve never seen pistachios in it
Oh that sounds a lot worse than what I imagined
I mean, you’d have to taste it for yourself. I didn’t like it but you may, you know?
ETA: here is a recipe in case you’re interested

I was about to comment the same thing.
What did you eat today?
Oh just some salad
The salad

I think maybe he was just making a joke.
But Germans have litterally every kind of salad.
Yeah, I don’t get that one either. As a German I’ve seen plenty of “Nudelsalate” which have pasta and mayonnaise.
That second one is absolutely disgusting.
It’s not a reason to get mad, though.
