I just can't believe that there are still people around who eat Cool-Whip.
Many of these artificial wartime replacement foods are waning in popularity
though, thankfully.

I know. And I know quite a few people who love the stuff. They eat it
straight up.

I can't believe there are still people who are incapable of
substituting whipped cream for cool whip without making a federal case
of it.

I just made a couple of desserts for our RV club rally next week. The
rally master gave me the recipe. It called for Cool Whip. We didn't
even know where they kept it in the grocery store and had to ask.

We don't eat fake food.

Cool Whip doesn't lose it's shape like real whipped cream.

I've made that recipe, but I left out the apples and the Cool Whip.

Why is this recipe any worse than a candy bar pie etc.? None of them appeal
to me, but they're in a lot of magazines etc.

LOL.. it was probably a lot tastier. I had a look at that recipe. I
can't imagine anyone making that. However.... look who posted it. Nuff

I used to see recipes like this in cooking magazines when I subscribed
to them. Cooking Light Magazine had some good recipes for a few years.
Cooking Light used to be about easy, more healthful food.

I cancelled the subscription around 1990 because all of a sudden most of
the recipes in the magazines seemed to be about DESSERTS. Really? This
is "Light"? Let's try not to use the word "light" lightly.

That would be the limit of my knowledge of what she wrote. I don't know
how much Steve may have saved from or edited out of the OP.

I had many years of Cooking Light Magazine in binders with the annual
indices. Donated them to the local public library when we went on the
road in 1996.

I don't think Cool-Whip is a wartime product. It's advantage over whipped cream is obvious - it's a stable product that will keep in your refrigerator for long periods of time.

Despite its ingreients, I've actually eaten this on more than one occasion.
The recipe you quoted there is not entirely accurate. The "real" recipe
also includes a box of powdered vanilla pudding mix as well.

Your quoting is all over the map. No matter, it's a quite the exotic foods that you people on the mainland cook up. OTOH, I'll try anything with Snickers in it at least once.

Maybe he is thinking of the Vietnam war, since it was introduced in
1966. Before that, most people's refrigerators did not have freezer
sections big enough for stuff like that.

My idea of a wartime product is one that is introduced as a substitute because of resources diverted towards war makes the real stuff scarce or a product in a form suitable for use in the field of battle. I doubt that Cool-Hwip qualifies. The important part is that you're willing to give him the benefit of a doubt. That's nice of you. Me, I won't tolerate that.

It quite honestly tastes like vanilla pudding/custard with bites of
snickers and apples. It's not horrible, despite the contents. Julie's
version, without the pudding, is gross. It's a common potluck/holiday
party dish around here.

It was an incorrect assumption. As by 1966 most people had a refrigerator
and a freezer, I can not imagine the benefit of using Cool-Whip over real
whipped cream, especially considering that the flavor and mouthfeel of
Cool-Whip is very much inferior to the real thing.

The only advantages I can see are from the POV of the retailer and
manufacturer - you can sell a product that is very inexpensive to
manufacture at a premium price, and it can be kept frozen until placed on
display.

Grody.

I don't think I've seen a candy bar pie recipe. I tend to skip over recipes
for sweets in magazines, because I would never make them. Just seems
bizarre to cut up a candy bar and call it salad.

Yeah. The diabetes recipe books and magazines are the same. I just don't
do desserts. Once in a while I'll make baked apples. That's about as far
as it goes unless someone asks me to bake something for them.

Okay. But I'm not into stuff like that. Didn't eat it before diabetes.
Sure not gonna eat it now.

There are a lot of these kinds of recipes out there, as I said, they don't
appeal to me, but here's a sample. Some of them are truly disgusting IMO,
but I guess some people must like them. Same thing with the Watergate Salad.
How they can call that a salad is bizarre to me, but it is good.

That doesn't sound good to me but at least it makes more sense than a candy
salad. I've seen recipes for pinata cakes. Bake the candy into the cake so
it falls out when you cut it. Not my thing but cute idea.

Neither does concrete, and like Cool Whip, only a moron would call it food.

Just to make it clear, I'm not the one that said that Snickers salad is "just wrong." I'm here to learn and teach, not judge and criticize. Thanks for the straight dope on this most unusual dish. Boy, it sure sounds like a Middle American dish.

I have no idea what you mean by incorrect assumption. What the heck does Cool Whip have to do with any number of the wars that were ongoing?

So you got your piece of pumpkin pie - what the heck are you going to do with it? You can eat it plain. You can eat it with canned whipped cream. You can eat it with Coo Hwip, or you can whip up some cream and serve it with the pie. I know what most people would do. I know what I'd do. Feel free to do whatever you wish but what's it gotta do with me?

So you made it? Where do draw the line? Is the rally master so respected
that you'd do whatever? I guess that motorhomers tend to have a lot more
money than taste.

Really though, you're doing the world a favor. When an obscene consumer of
fossil fuels dies of heart disease from slopping himself or herself with
PHVOs...
