I'm going to tone this a bit down, so I'm thinking :

canned pineapple, in juice not sirop
cheddar cheese
small mozzarela ball instead of marshmallow -shrimp instead of bacon.
cheapest mayonnaise I could find.

But you think I should eat this or simply post back a picture of it in the sub?
Should let it sit in the sauce (pinneapple juice + mayo) for a bit or eat it right away?
Is this still considered midwestern food?

I also found an old recipe for "salade américaine" in a cook book. It's fresh fruits and celeriac with mayo and tabasco.

Have you given this a try yet? I'm interested to know how it turned out, if so.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 11 months ago

Yes, I did. And it didn't taste bad. I could improve the recipe though. I was surprised by how the cheddar taste took over the salad : it was mostly tasting smoked cheddar in fat. And I felt more sweet could have balanced that! The texture mix was good.

I will probably try this again one day but with better quality mayo mixed with cottage cheese. It is also worth to try try a version with pinneapple in sirop to see if it bring that missing sweetness (marshmallow don't sound so crazy to me now)

I've taken pictures to do a publication but I always forget to post it.
